WHO IS ELIGIBLE
To
Homestead In
Countrv.
The New
Delegate Flynn, in answer to hun-
dreds of letters of inquiry as to who i*
eli gible to homestead in the new coun-
try to open this summer, gives out the
following information :
Hctays: "In the Kiowa and Com-.
| anclie reservation everybody who all
any time prior to June fi last, hus used >
his homestead right by filing on cer-j
tain lands can make a second entry,
providing lie did not perfect title. In !
other words, every person who has re- ; -
lintjuished in any part of the United vv*'4 abont $60,0C0or *80.00(1,
i Osages \\ ill Receive $100,000 More
' for Grazing Leases Than ^
Ever Before, WS
I Washington. Match 4.—The name-. ^
ol tiie successful bidders for the gi uz-
ing privilege* iii the Osage reservation
will not be made known for several (]\
di>ys The total number of acre* to he i'a'i
leased is about 70(1,000. There were
316 bids, of which 183 are known to be jj;
inside of the successful limits, and that W
number of bids will doubtless be ac- (fl
cepted. The bids ranged from 10 to
41's cents per acre, and it is under- (i\
stood that the Indians will receive up- i
ward of $100,000 more f r their grazing iL
land* this time than when the bids
were let th- last time. The total ,
amount received by the Indians last fft
NOW IS THE TIME'S
— 0Eifly -
.States on any government land is eleg
ible to take a homestead there; am
person who has commuted 01 a home-
stead is eligible to take a homestead
there. Any person, however, who af-
ter living os a homestead five or more
years witnout paying out cannot make
an additional entry, cougresi refusing
to grant this right.
"I desire to be emphatically under-
stood as stating that if a man paid on
hi* homestead before he resided 011 it
Ave years he can take a second one.
If he did not pay out within five years
he cau not. Again, no person whe re-
linquished or commuted since June 6
is eligible, as that was the date of the
passage of the original treaty."
There is no inside track to be given
anybody. The public will be advised
through the press a sufficient length
of time before the opening to give
everybody an equal chance at the
opening. I'art of the Wichita reserva-
tion will undoubtedly be put into
Blaine aid Canadian counties in order
to fill out their boundaries."
Davis Saja It Is True.
A St. Louis special say* Webster
Davis, of Ksnsss City, arrived in St.
Louia tonight from New York, where
he say* he sold his book on South Af
rica and the Boer war to an Rasten
syndicate for $180,000. Mr. Davis *aid
tonight that he sold his book outright,
ind that he will not receive any royal-
tie* from the *ale of it. "1 believe
that I could have made more money
by selling the book on royalties." he
said,''but the offer of a large amount
of cash ii to be considered by a man
like myself, who is not very well sup-
plied with this world's good*. Negoti-
ations for the purchase of my book
were conducted by Franklin Quimby,
of No. 115 Nassau street. Mr. Ouimhj
represented a syndicate of wealthy
Boer sympathizer*, who do not Care to
be known in the matter for fear their
expression of sympathy tor the Boer*
may hurt their business.
"The book will be pub!i*hed by the
Abbey I'res* Publishing Company, and
will be 011 the market in about seven
weeks."
St«te Capital Fight.
South Dakota has suddenly found it-
self in the midst of a lively state capi-
tal fight. Since the location of the
capital at Pierre, ten years ago, there
have been occasi nal suggestions of a
change, but until now no formal action
was taken. A caucus ha-, been railed
of members of the legislature from
towns with capi t a I ambitions 10 unite
on one town. At Sioux Kali*, a mass
meeting of citizens instructed the
mayor to offer to provide both *ite and
capital building in case the capital is
removed to that city. At Pierre, all
may other business his been abandoned for
the lime being, pending a settlement
of I lie matter.

while this year thu amount paid them
will b,< #200,000 to $-50,000.
The bidders were Cat'lemen prin-
cipally fr. m Texas and Kansas The
names of the successful ones probably
be announced Tuesday or Wednesday.
I Some of the oldtimers, who have large
[herds of cattle on the reservation,
were greatly disappointed at the range
| of the bidding Few of them put in
propositions t i pay more than 10 cents
an acre, and they were surprised to
sec the bidding go to40 arid 41 cents.
Ti eir interests were l-oked after by
Former Special Indian Inspector H. G.
Pray. Hansom Payne, of Oklahoma,
former marshal of the Osage r.-se vu-
tion, ho«e fight on Agent Pollock re-
suited in the latter's retirement, was
present when the bids were opened.
The remarkabie increase of revenue
that will accrue to the Indians through
the leasH of their grazing lands is be-
lieved to b due to Payne's activity in
prying out the irrsgularities in the
grazing leases that formerly existed.

Freckle Days Are Here.
The winds of March bring out the
freckles on girl* whose skins are sus-
ceptible to these blemishes, and the
druggists are anticipating the annual
demand for lotions guaranteed to re-
move them "It isn't a part of 111
business to know whether or not these
preprations really do remove freckles,"
said the talkative aiiotheacry, the
other day. "Perhaiis 1 hey are just as
edicacious as the old rcinedi-* my
grandmother u ed to tell me about,
and which were thoroughly believed in,
March snow «as one of them. Just
why March snow should have virtues
not posses-ed by the snow that falls
during the other months she was never
able to explain, but it is a fact that
fie,.k'e-'aced girls used to wash their
faces ill it diligently."

A Twentieth Century Deal.
A yonng rounder who thought he had
seen the limit in strange happening*,
ran up against a new one, relates the
Record. He drifted into a hotel bar
for a drink, and while stranding at the
bar an elderly man very nicely dressed,
and with every indicai on of i> o*perity
if not wealth, came in and ordered a
drink of ir> cent whisky, inquiring at
the same time if that brand w.-re not
•old at the rate of two drinks for a
quarter. Upon receiving a reply in
the allirmative the old chap produced a
Hask, laid down a quarter and a l;.-d
the bartender to put up the 01 her drink
in the bottle to take n ay with him.
The bartender, daseil, did so without a
ird, and the incident was closed.
