Fourth. After having resided on
his claim tor live years, can a home-
stead settler submit Ids tlual proof

ment is presented against a homestead

I n answer tn your lirst quest ion, you

(Signed) Respect fully,
Hinder IIeiim vn. Commissioner.
We will add I’nrtlier Mini the land
officers have no more right to refuse to
entert ain a contest, should one he pre-
ferred than a judge or Justice of flu
peace has to docket and try a lawsuit
Hut should a contest be commenced
on tin- ground of abandonment,, it will
he necessary for tin-claimant to show
to the satisfaction of the land officers
that he lias complied with the law
when the contest will he dismissed.
If a homesteader, t herefore, contem-
plates leaving his claim it would la
advisable for him to fortify himself
while on the claim, and while lie can
procure good and sufficient evidence,
with such affidavits as will show Hint
lie lias compiled with the law. While
this would not prevent a contest being
tiled, and is not essential to Ins leaving
the land. It is a precautionary measure
and will go a long ways, if it l«- not
entirely sufficient in and of itself to
satisfy the land officers that the party
lias lived upon the land the required
time and iu every way complied with
t lie law. in such manner as would have
enabled ill in at the time of his leaving
tlie land to have made his dual proof.
We are incited to this precautionary
measure by witnessing the efforts of
ex-soldiers tn obtain evidence to sus-
tain tln-ir claims tor pensions. Aft«
Hie lapse of a few years they arc un-1
able to procure evidence showing the
facts they allege upon which to base I
their claims. It will tn- thus with I
many who leave t heir claims a year or

they will often Hod !i difficult to pro-
witnesses who knew the amount ,

AN EXPERIENCE!) EXPERT NEEDED.
Let us drop all figures of speech and face
the facts frankly He- are thousands of
people suffeiing from disease of one form
or another. The cry of the sufferer in for
sonic one to lead him out of this desert of
disease into the promised land of he-alth.
Here is Dr K. V Fierce, of Buffalo, N.Y.,
who has a record of more than a quarter of
a million of cases and out of every hun-
dred led to perfect In alth. An experience
of thirty years a- chief consulting physi
cian to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical
Institute, «: Buffalo, N Y., guarantees him
to be familiar with ev ry phase and form
of disease.
But consumption! Is that cured too hv
I)r. Pierce's medicines? Among the hope-
less (so-called) cases were those who had
the night sweats, the hectic flush, the hack-
ing cough, the racked lungs, and the ema-
ciated, or wasted body, which are accepted
symptoms of consumption. Their home
physicians said they had consumption.
They also said that tlieir days were num-
bered. Yet these same people treated
years ago, have lost the night sweats, lost
the lung pains, lost the cough, have re-
gained their normal weight, and arc living
right along in the he; ty enjoyment of a
healthy, happy life. They eal well, sleep
well, and enjoy life. Perhaps they are not
cured. Perhaps their clays are numbered.
