About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me.

began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS
OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT.

Secretary Ballinger has issued in.
structions to throw open 100000
acres of land in Eastern Montana to
white settlers.
This land was withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose OF allotting
to the Rocky Boy Indians. The tract
contains the very choicest lands in
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields of from 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 20 bushels OF
oats and large crops of hay. alfalfa
and vegetables.
There are over 5000 160-acre tome-
steads in this tract, which is con-
siderable more than the combined total
in the Flathead, Spokane and Occur
d'Alene Reservations, which were
opened to settlement last summer.

HONORED GUESTS

Gubernatorial Candidates Are APP
plauded AS They Enter the Crowded
Banquet HaIl-Peary Honored.

With by far the greatest array OF
oratoricsl talent ever in attendance
and over 1900 persons crowded in the
Manufacturers building, the eighteenth
annual banquet OF the Lincoln club
at Grand Rapids Saturday evening was
early branded as the greatest ever.
The visitors from Washington. includ-
ed Vice-President Jas. S. Sherman,
Commander Robt. e. Peary, Commits
sioner Of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith, Senator VIM. Alden Smith.
Congressman Gerrit J. Diekema and
Jas. c. Mclaughlin and Secretary of
the Senate Chas. c. Bennett.
The crowd surpassed anything an
ticipated by those behind the big
event. Long before the doors were
thrown open and the crowd began to
pour into the building, persons who
had come into the city from surround
ing points in the state were Offering
as high as SIS each for seats.
Finally, after the banquet had been
served, the doors were reopened and
those who had been unable to crowd
into the hall earlier were admitted
and allowed TO stand in the aisles.
No accident occurred to mar the
big feast, but on half dozen occa-
sions ii was necessary to call the
police to clear the aisies of those who
persisted in obstructing the views OF
the banqueters.
AS the speakers appeared in the hall
Vice-President Sherman and Comman-
der Peary were accorded enthusiast
tic ovations. All four of the guberna-
torial candidates were also vigorously
applauded in turn as they entered.

Alden Smith spent q quarter OF an
the Lincoln club and what that or
ganization expected to accomplish in
the future.
In introducing Gen. Frederick Dent
Grant, Senator Smith said that the
Chicago army officer began fighting
when he was 13 years old and had
been fighting constantly since.
Gen. Grants speech consisted of
recollections of his distinguished
father, and of the latter's first meet
ing with Abraham Lincoln, at which
Gen Fred Grant, then but a boy, was
present
Vice-President Sherman was greet

fore the fattering introduction ten

He launched into a long string of
witticisms, intermingling his catchy
stories with a general review of the
life of Abraham Lincoln. He also paid
a loving tribute to Commander Peary
for his daring deeds in the far north.

The supreme court has decided that
local option elections must be held in
the counties OF Marquette and st.
Clair this spring. In the case of Ca
leb II. Rutledge VS.. the supervisors
of Marquette county writ was grant
ed. The petition presented questions
arising under provisions of act 207,
known as the local option act. In
this county a petition was circulated
and the required number of names
announced and the petition was in
turn laid before the board of super
visors, but not until after some 220
names had been withdrawn by sign
ers, who stated that they signed in
some cases in ignorance of what they
were doing, while others came through
with various excuses.
The prosecuting attorney of the
county was asked for his opinion, and
said that the signers had a perfect
right to withdraw their names before
the petition was filed with the county
clerk. The board appointed a commit
tee, who found that the number OF
names withdrawn made the list insult
ficient and denied an election. The
case was taken to the supreme court,
and the supreme court says that the
supervisors must reconvene and order
an election.
This was practically the same con-
dition of affairs that existed in st.
Clair county, and the court holds that
the same order is effective there.
This means practically victory for
the drys in these two counties. but in
the counties of Gratiot and Van Blu
rem. which are now dry, the vets are
trying to have reelection. AS about
the same conditions regarding the pc
titions exist there, the decisions in the
two first-named counties may mean a
victory for the vets in the two last
named

raeua.
State department officials are inter
ested in the news from Managua that
Matagalpa and Boaco have been cap
tured by the revolutionists' army
under Gen. Chamorro.
This interest especially attaches to
the capture of Matagalpa, as in all
probability any further cause for APP
prehension on the part Of Americans
in that important coffee growing Sec
ton of Nicaragua has been removed.
The capture of the steamer Man
aqua by sympathizers with the revo-
lutionists is regarded as a serious
loss to the Madriz government, as 1t
is believed he had depended upon this
steamer and one other, the only two
of any consequence on Lake Nicar-
aqua, to transport his army, now on
the east coast of the lake, back to
Managua, in case OF need.
The whole situation appears to be
distinctly in favor of the revolution
airy forces, and it is believed by the
officials here that the end of the
Nicaraguan government under Madriz
Is rapidly approaching.

raft Slated to Greet roosevelt.

President Taft was given full de-
tails of the plans that have been
formulated thus far for the reception
to be rendered former President
Roosevelt on his arrival in New York
harbor some time between June Is
and 81. Col. John A. Stewart, presi-
dent of the New York State League
of Republican clubs and representa-
tive of the Republican club of New
York city, discussed the matter with
the president for half an hour or
more. and told him that the commit
tee which would be placed in charge
of the celebration undoubtedly would
extend an informal invitation to him
to be present at New York as the
guest OF honor.
There is some doubt as to whether
or not President Taft will be able to
participate, but it seems more than
likely that he will. In the cablegram
received in New York Mr. Roosevelt
stated that he would be glad to &C.
cept reception provided il was made
a simple affair and was rendered on
the day of his arrival.

Bartlett to Lead Search.

The National Geographic society,
which resolved at meeting held in
Washington to send an American ex-
petition in search of the South Pole,
confidently expects ample financial
assistance from outside sources to
warrant the exploration.
II is the plan of the society that
the expedition be headed by Capt.
Bartlett, who commanded the Roose-
welt in Commander Peary's successful
quest Of the North Pole, and that the
other members of the Peary expedi-
ton. except for Commander Peary,
undertake the search for the undis-
covered Antarctic bottom of the
earth"
The proposal is that the quest be
made in the Roosevelt, already prac-
tically equipped for such an under
taking. and that the start be made
from Coats Island.

$4,000, COO Pounds of Butter stored.

Albert NJ. Read, secretary of the
American Warehousemen's associa-
ton at Washington, which includes
80 cold storage and refrigerating
plants in various parts of the coun-
try, issued statement endeavoring
to show that foodstuffs were not
being boarded in the cold storage
plants and that no attempts were
being made by the warehousemen to
conceal the quantities they had on
hand.
Mr.. Read declared that the butter
and eggs stored in 20 of the cold
storage plants in the association be-
longed to 2,446 different persons or
firms. which, he says, indicates there
would be great difficulty in cornering
those products.
Mr.. Reads statement of the pro-
ducts in storage in 30 of the houses
shows 100000 pounds of butter in
storage on Feb. 1, 1910, as against
$4,000, 900 pounds on Feb. 1, 1909.
There are, however, $4,000 more
cases of eggs in storage this year
than there were on Feb. 1, 1909.
According to Mr.. Reads figures
there were more than 100000 cases
of eggs In storage Jan. 1, and there
were but 49,, 900 there on Feb. l.,
showing that more than 100000 cases
were taken out of storage during
January.
