The Three-Year Homestead
Law

AAeAW
The speech delivered on the
Goth of March, in the house by,
Hon. George A. Medley of the
Seventh District of Kansas, was
one of the most forceful and elo-
quent pleas delivered in the House
this session.
The speech was made advocat-
ing a bill that had passed the SEN
ate and had come to the House,
proposing to change the time for
proving up on homesteads from
five years to three years. Mr.
Neeley was deeply interested in
the measure, and did all in his
power to secure its passage, which
was finally accomplished, with a
few minor amendments, which do
not change the bill in any sense.
During Mr.. Neeley's address he
was given marked attention by
the members of the house and the
crowded gallery, and he was fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
He painted a vivid picture of the
pioneers struggles in Western
Kanaas, showing the rise and fall
of the country for the past thirty
years. His descriptions of the
once hourishing towns of Hugo
ton, Rich6eid, Springfield, Santa
Fe, johnson City, Ulysses, Woods
dale, and numerous other villages,
