Homestead Rulings.

The department of interior has ruled
that second homestead entries will be
allowed when it is satisfactorily shown
that obstacles which could not have
been foreseen, rendering it impractic-
able to cultivate the land entered, are
discovered subsequent to entry, and
through no fault of the entryman the
land becomes valueless for agricultural
purposes. When an application is pre-
sented which does not come with pur-
view of any act of congress the regis
ters and receivers are not to reject it,
but forward it to the general land office
for action. Another important ruling
governs the final proving of desert land
entries. When the final proof shows
that the entryman has cultivated and
irrigated at least one-eighth of the
land and has constructed bitches, owns
sufficient water right, has brought
water to the land and is prepared to
turn water upon the entire tract when
it shall have been cleared and prepared
for cultivation, he need not show fur
ther that water has actually been dis
tributed over all the irrigable land in
the entry. Formerly it has been nec-
essary for an entryman to prove that
he has actually distributed water over
his entire tract before the final grant
of the land was made. This ruling,
which provides that water need be only
on one-eighth of the tract, if the water
rights have been secured and the ditch
es constructed, will mean that persons
entering upon desert land will be able
to prove their claims much more cas-
lily. Field and Farm.

THAT RAILROAD

The Sentinel makes light of
the clipping published by us re-
garding the Denver & Gulf rail
road. The article was copied
from the Denver Times and we
made no comment. This is the
proposed new road in which nine
-tenths of the people of Lamar
and other places seem to have
complete confidence, and while
we have not the least idea that
the the line will touch Spring
field, still we do earnestly hope
that it will be built. AS to our
progressive citizens getting
up pie social, ETC., it is prob
able that a pie social will be held
here at an early date, but for an
altogether different purpose than
that mentioned in the Sentinel.
The good ladies here are famous
in the making of pies, and Bro.
Jones will unquestionably attend
and as usual pay high for a pie;
So we can afford to forgive the
Sentinel's indulgence in levity.

The County Commissioners
held their quarterly meeting last
week. In addition to the regu-

of providing Offices for the coun-

Mr.. Huston was instructed to
draft plans for a stone court
house, to be erected on the old
site. The Commissioners will
meet again soon by special call,
when Mr.. Huston will submit the
plans and it is probable that they
will be accepted, bids called for
and the building rushed to COM
pletion at an early date. In the
meantime the temporary offices

Famous Case Affirmed.

The Stanton county mortgage
case, known as the laches case,
was affirmed by the supreme
court at Topeka, last Saturday.
Judge Thompson in the District
court of Stanton county, on the
10th day of September, 1908,
held in the case Of Van Hall and
Hoffman VS. Frank l.. Cessna and
Peter Goertz. that mortgage
given twenty years ago and
which had not been foreclosed
was no longer valid lien on the
land on the ground of laches.
The decision attracted a great
deal of attention as the point has
not often been raised in this
state and because there are hum
dreds of such old mortgages
abroad, and the opinion of the
supreme court has been looked
forward to with a great deal Of
interest.
The ground on which the su-
preme court sustained the dis
'trict court was in holding the tax
deed good, and the court seems
to have avoided going on record
on the question of laches. In
sustaining the tax deed the court
has taken a long step in advance
of any previous tax deed dicision
and it would seem that tax title
is hereafter an excellent title.
The court has been sustaining
tax titles in all cases where the
tax deed is not void on the face.
The old mortgage liens and other
equities have been swept aside
in favor of the tax deed. This
will have the effect of quieting
the titles to great deal of west
.ern Kansas land and is a big VIC
tory for the actual settlers who
secured the tax deeds and paid
the taxes for many years while
the mortgage owners and the
people who held equities neglect
ed their property. 1t will also
have the effect of making it cas-
ier to collect taxes in Kansas. =

Five Italian workmen are confined

quently refused to go to work They
also allege that there was an alterca-

which they had to pay and which was
In excess of what they thought they
would have to pay. So far no formal

them.

WHY SALvES FAIL TO CURE
ECZEMA.

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis. but in the
inner skin. Hence, a penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
we recommend to all eczema pa
tients the standard prescription Oil
OF Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as d. d. d. Pre-
scription. A trial bottle of this d. d
D. Prescription. at only 25 cents, will
instantly relieve the itch. We have
sold and recommended this remedy
for years, and know of wonderful
cures from its use. We recommend
1t to our patrons.-Kraft & Emerson

In "The Great Divide'' two charac-
ters stand out distinct and above all
other members of the cast: these are
the characters of Stephen Ghent and
Ruth Jordan. Edgar Jones as Ghent
and Ina Brooks as Ruth Jordan gave
splendid, worthy and most pleasing
delineations of these roles. They are
difficult characters, that of Ruth Jor-

Stephen Client. These two people
