HOMESTEAD BILL
CONGRESSMAN BURKE URGES
ACTION ON 64O-ACRE HOME
STEAD LAW.

Washington, April 1S.-Represen-
tative Charles H. Burke appeared
before an executive session of the
public lands committee of the house
on the 640-acrn homestead bill and
was given an attentive hearing for
more than an hour. He stated after
the meeting that the members of the
committee evinced deep interest in
this proposed act and he was hope
full that the bill would be reported
out favorably.
Mr.. Burke reminded the new
members of the committee that he
once had been a member of this
committee and he said he always
was interested in the legislation
which originated with it.
Il was a ho~mesteader in Dako-
ia territory in 1882, and ever since
that time | have been a resident in
the interior of the state" Congress
man Burke said. Il think | under
stand the conditions surrounding
homestead development in Dakota as
well as any MAJ living. I favor the
passage of some such legislation as is
provided for in this bill. Your COM
mittee will make no mistake If ii
shall f~avorably report a bill of this
sort to the house"
The congressman suggested that a
person having an entry of 100 acres
be permitted to take additional land
noncontiguous; also to allow a per
son to relinquish entry for 100 acres
and make a new entry for $40 acres.
He urged an amendment making
the proposed law apnIicahle TO lands
formerly in Indian reservations
where entries now are limited to loo
acres.
There is one thing you gentlmen
of the committee should carefully
guard against" said Mr.. Burke, and
that is permitting N provision to
creep into the bill which would give
authority for leasing the public 40
main. That would favor special in
terests as represented by large cat
tie companies and would be against
the interests of the individual home
stead development in general"

DECLARED insane
NELS BERGHEIM IN HEARING
BEFORE JURY AT HOWARD
PRONOUNCED INSANE.

Drs. Clough and Ogle and liver
Rad returned last evening from
Howard where they were called as
witnesses in the hearing of Nels
Bergheim to determine his mental
condition. Bergheim, it will be re-
called, shot and killed his brother
in-law, Mons Hauge, in Miner coun-
ty about three weeks ago. Since that
time he has been confined in the
county Jail at Howard. Yesterday
Judge Taylor of Huron, at an adj
journed term of the circuit court
heard testimony before a jury con-
corning the mental condition of the
defendant. Expert witnesses on in
sanity from Minneapolis and the
state hospital for the insane at
Yankton who had observed the I'M
fortunate man, gave testimony that
he is insane. Drs. Clough and Ogle
and Mr.. Rad left Howard for home
last evening before the hearing was
completed, but this morning Mr..
Rad received a letter from a friend
in Howard stating that the jury, af-
ter celebrating about two hours. re-
turned a verdict that Bergheim is in
sane.
The case is a very unfortunate
one. Bergheim who is aged about
20 years, became infatuated with a
sister of his brother-in-law and be-
ing repulsed by her he blamed his
brother-in-law for interfering in the
matter and influencing his sister
against him. For more than a year
Bergheim brooded over his disap-
pointment, his health falling, he be-
came a nervous wreck, and insane.
His condition was recognized by his
relatives and his parents had taken
steps to have him brought before the
board of insanity of Miner county.
1t is presumed that the unfortunate
man heard of this and the day be-
fore the hearing was to be hello,
while Bergheim, his father and his
brother-in-law were at work clean
ing grain on the Senior Bergheim's
farm, young Bergheim suddenly
drew a revolver and shot his broth
er-in-law, killing him instantly.
The tragedy created a tremend-
Gus sensation in the neighborhood
where both families of the tragedy
are pioneer residents and well-to-do.
The verdict of the jury will be a re-
lief to the families, inasmuch as
they will be solaced by the knowl-
edge that the tragedy was the re-
suit of the diseased brain of the
young man.

At the Court House Sunday Even
ing - Father Murphy Opera
House Monday Evening.

The mass meeting which was TO
be held at the opera house on Sun
day evening is called off on account
of the illness of the mother of O. w.
Butterfield who was to be the speak
er of the evening. The church SER
vices will therefore be conducted as
usual at 8 p. m.
At the court house on Sunday
evening, at s o'clock, there will be
the discussion of the question Shall
we have one respectable saloon in
Madison" AS this question Is be-
ing much agitated we have no doubt
that many will listen to this discus
sion with a very great deal of inter
est.
The Rev. Father Murphy. of Dali
hart, Texas, will lecture in the opera
house on Monday evening. April 20.
at Sis o'clock, on The Vital Issues
of Today" Texas being so near to
Mexico it has felt some of the heart
throbs of the war. Father Murphy
has few peers on the lecture plat
form today, and will be heard with
much pleasure by those who are for
tunate enough TO be present on Mon
day evening. As the reverend speak
er is a priest of the Catholic church
who is not on the public platform
simply for money. it has been pos
sible to have him come to Madison
at very reasonable cost. There will
therefore be no charge for admis-
sion to his lecture.
The w. c. T. U. will hold an all
day prayer meeting on election day
al the Methodist church. Vote
as the Women Pray" is the motto
for the day.

So Years of Common Sense
in Clothes Making

No. 5130 Blue Serge Special is a suit of
clothes made for real men of all ages who
want the utmost in solid, substantial value
for their money.
It's the elimination of sixty-eight years
of common sense in Clothcraft Clothes
making = which sounds easy but wasn't.
1t meant studying every little operation
from cutting the cloth to sewing on the
buttons = to find the one best and shortest
way in each case.
Here's another point: Cutting the cloth
for twenty suits at once not only means
doing it better, it also means saving time
and money.
That saving gives you better cloth,
better lining, better designing.
No other method could have put so
much all-round value into a suit like
$500 at $1,000 all ready to put on and
wear.
Clothcraft includes many models, both
in $500 and in a variety of other fabrics
and patterns. It's the one Guaranteed All
Wool line at $40 to $40.

{. ". MOORE WILL NOT HEAD
PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEXT YEAR
Superintendent of Schools will Give up
the Work this Year and Move Onto
His 10 Acre Apple Ranch

c. w. Moore, superintendent OF the
Leavenworth Public schools told an
Echo reporter this week that he would
not seek the office again this year.
AS soon as school closes il is his in
tention to move down on his 10 acre
orchard tract near Wenatchee where in
the future he will lead the simple life.
Mr.. Moore's orchard tract is rapidly
nearing the full bearing stage and be-
ing set to the very best varieties of
fruits he expects this year to clear
from $500 to $4,000. He says while
he dislikes very much to give up
school work that his ranch demands
his attention and also that he and Mrs.
Moore are contemplating trip to the
eastern states this fall, as soon as the
fruit harvest is over.
Mr., Moore has been at the head of
the Leavenworth schools for the past
four years and under his direction they
have improved wonderfully. We now
have a fully accredited high schoo
with all the studies and new branches
taught in a modern school. Every
thing about the schools even includ-
ing athletics has improved under his
management until now our institutions
of learning will rank with the best in
the state. The Echo knows Mr..
Moore to be a constant and hard work
ing official and in all probability il will
be hard matter to find as capable
man to succeed him. As yet his
successor has not been chosen.

the end of August cadets live in and receiving practical military in- slruction. Cadets are allowed but one leave of absence during the four years course, and this Is granted at the expiration of the first two years. The pay of a cadet is $709.50 per year, and, with proper economy, is sufficient for his support. Uniforms cost about $160. The number of SUI dents at the academy is usually about 550.
 Rank of graduates-After gradu- ation the cadet is eligible to the rank of second lieutenant, and is appoinled to whatever branch the service his record entities him. Those who are highest in class honors are generally appointed to the engineer corps.
 History of West Poilt-The acad- emy was formally opened on July 4, 1902, with ten cadets and five officers as instructors. It's success is said to be due to the administrative ability of Gen. Sylvanus Thayer, who be- came it's superintendent in 1877 and served as such for sixteen years. This officer is known as the Father of West Point. Since the opening of the academy, including the class of 1911, more than 5000 officers have been graduated. An act of Congress authorizing the expenditure of $5,- S00,000 for the reconstruction of the United States Military academy was passed in June 1902, and at later session of congress $1,700,0OO addi- tional was allowed.

CAPTURES CONVICT.
Detective Roebuck Picks Up Negro Shortly After Blacks
 Arrival,


 City Detective c. F. Roebuck will receive reward of $25 for the car- ture of Amos Turner, negro, about 26 years old, who made good his escape from the county farm at Tucker last Friday.
 The fugitive was taken ill custody last night at a servants house, be- tween Second avenue and Barraque on Cherry and Linden streets, where he had been in hiding since the after noon. Turner landed in the city yesterday morning.
 The negro was serving a sentence of two months, being sent up by Justice J. A. Frazier for burglary. He had been at the farm only two weeks when he escaped. During the last week five convicts escaped from the farm.
