land office doors and the minute the por-
tails we're opened there was stampede.
Immediately the entire force Of clerks set
to work receiving the applications, with
the result that they took in fifty within
four minutes. Within the next few min
utes the number had been increased TO
seventy. Not every one present filed on
land. but the majority did. There were
about 800 applications and only fifty tracts
Of land.
As soon as the conflicts were Strengthened
out the matter Of the right to file on the
tracts came up. There we're as many as
five simultaneous entries on each tract,
and It was up to the applicants to bid for
the right to file entry.
In the number of applicants there were
many eastern people, which is an indication
that the work of boosting Utah lands in
the east is apparently bringing good re-

SALT LAKE CITY, March 27--CSpecisl)
The greatest rush in the history Of the
local United States land office was that
Wednesday morning, when 2oOO acres Of
semi arid land east and northeast Of
Modena. on the main line OF the Salt Lake
route. was thrown open for public entry
under the enlarged homestead act Within
four minutes after the doors OF the land
office were opened the 5000 acres Of land
available in the tract were filed upon.
During the rush men and women fought
eagerly in efforts to reach the filing counter
and get their applications in first, and in
the rush as many as five simultaneous APP
pncations we're filed on the same tract Of
land This led to disputes and other
troubles at the land office during the re-
mainder of the day, and Of the persons
who made application II is apparent that

Thomas F. swift's home at the
northeast corner Of jefferson Square
Is one Of the land marks Of Omaha.
For fifty-three years its owner lived
there, resisting almost to the last
the suggestion Of his children that
he find a new residence In a more
desirable part OF the city. but the
associations Of the place were strong
enough TO prevail against the argu-
ments IN favor OF the move. There
he had lived and prospered; there
his children were born. and there
they grew ~ to manhood and

CHINA WILL YIELD POINTS
Foreign office Assures Russian Min.
lister Will Agree Unreservedly.
UNPREPARED, FOR POSSIBILITIES
Reports Say Russian Railway RE
fuses to Transport Several Car
loads of Arms Destined for
Chinese GarrisOns.

PEKTNG March 27.-China is not pre-
pared to antagonize Russia completely and
as result of prolonged conferences the
Chinese foreign office today assured the
Russian minister NJ Korostovetz that
China will acduiesce unreservedly on Mon
day to the demands made in the Russian
ultimatum concerning the provisions Of
the treaty of 1881. Russia insisted upon
an answer before Tuesday.
1t is generally considered that there was
no alternative course, in view of Chna's
utter unpreparedness for war Intense
interest is being manifested in the attitude
of Japan. which is obviously holding en-.
tirely aloof, although more powerful than
ever at Picking.
While the issues between China and Rus,
STA have been almost obliterated by the
recent series of ultimatums and theoretic,
ally insufficient cause for occupation ex-
lists, Russia apparently fears that it could
obtain only paper promises, which the
Chinese would not observe unless intimi-
dated. Russians here point out that they
have less now in the way Of concessions
from China than when the treaty was
signed.
Russia Not AgEressives
Some sections of the legation quarter
ridicule Russia for not following in the
first instance the recent exanffae set by
Great Britain in occupying territory and
awaiting Chinese readiness to discuss the
contested points But it is recognized that
Russia by failing to do this, has shown
that it does not possess aggressive de-
signs The Chinese newspapers, which are
intensely ignorant of foreign affairs, are
very hostile against Great Britain which
country they accuse of beginning the pres
ent land grab, and they prophesy that both
Japan and France will not be long in
following suit.
Reports from Hardin say the Russian
railway has refused to transport several
carloads of arms and ammunition destined
! for Chinese garrsons on the frontier From
elsewhere in Manchuria come indications
of Japanese readiness to invest south Man,
churia should the Russian investment in
/ the north assume a serious aspect
! In a current issue the Picking Daily News
| in an editorial evidently inspired by the
| Chinese foreign board, declared that China
would not submit to the aggressions OF
various powers and would not sign ava,
its national rights. which must be taker

''The possibility OF war between the Uni

clares Henry George, jr, who is in Omaha

Abs delivered about fifty addresses.
" In the first place Japan II so deep In
debt that Il would be impossible for Il
20 equip and maintain an invading army
sufficiently large TO attempt battle with
the United States. When I was in Japan,
about eighteen months ago 1 found about
as many people who hankered for war as
/ find In the United States. and there Is
practically no one here who has any idea
OF fighting japan. II war we're to be
staged Japan would have to take the Of
fensive, for the United States has no rea-
son for or object in opening hostilities
agsist the Fiowery Kingdom. The mere
suggestion of such would be pre-
posteroua."

Mr. George declares that he is free
trader without mlncing his words. and is
IN favor OF abolishing absolutely the Gus
toms house system. Viewing the situation
as he does, hs declares that President
Taft's attitude toward reciprocity between
the United States and Canada is the most
popular move since Lncoln's time
My hope" says Mr.. George, is that the
little reciprocity that the pending bill in
wolves will soon lead to even more re-
ciprocity with Canada"

SOME PEOPLE ALLOW THEIR
HAIR TO BECOME GRAY
BEFORE IT SHOULD.

Gray hair is a mark Of age, and
nothing that can be said as to Its
beauty will effect the disadvantage
of this mark Of age set upon your
brow.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy darkens the hair and re-
stores it to it's youthful beauty. Our
grandmothers and their grandmothers
before them used Sage and Sulphur
for darkening their hair. Nothing
has ever been found more effective
for this purpose than these two
time-honored remedies, but Wyeth,
a modern chemist, has combined
the two with other ingredients
which make a delightful dressing for
the hair, and which not only remove
every trace Of dandruff but promote
the growth Of the hair as well.
All druggists are authorized to re-
fund the money If it fails to do exact
ly as represented.

public at fifty cents a bottle and is
