RUSH TO FILE ON LANDS.
Tort IIanda.ll Keservation Laud. Opened
For Settlement.
Chamberlain-, S. D.. Oct 20. Long
before daylight this morning scores of
soldiers gathered outside the United
States land office, and remained there
constantly until the office opened for
bnsiness at 9 o'clock. The occasion was
the opening of the military reservation.
For the past two days intending home
steaders have been arriving by train
and team. In the line this morning
"was a woman who had come over a
hundred miles to secure a quarter sec
tion of South Dakota land. Many of
those here to make entry today have
been squatters on the land they desire
for several years, and have made ex
tensive improvements. The claims of
many of the squatters conflict. Some
tracts have two or three claimants, and
contests will be necessary. The Fort
Randall reservation was established by
executive order June 16, 1800. A mili
tary post was established there in 1S54.
The post was abandoned, and an ex
ecutive order of Oct. 20, 1S93, placed
the reservation under control of the in
terior department for disposal under the
homestead law. The reservation con
tains a total of more than J 00,000 acres,
a portion of which lies in South Da
kota, the remainder in Nebraska. That
portion lying in this state was opened
to settlement today. Ill early days
Fort Kandall was the handsomest and
gayest of frontier military posts, and
played an important figure in early
historv of Dakota.
RURAL DELIVERY A SUCCESS.
Honth Makes a Favorable Itcport on the
Kxperimental Kffuri.
Washington, Oct 24. The report of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath says that the rural free delivery
in connection with the postoffice at Te
cumseh, Johnson county, Neb., is a sac
cess. There are four carriers in service
at salaries of $300 per annum. Service
was established Nov. 7. ljjffl. The imp
utation served is 700 aad the area cov
ered is 32 square miles. Each carrier
travels about 20 miles-each 4uy in mak
ing deliveries. From date of establish
ment to July 1 last 26.656 pieces of mail
were delivered auu collected.
In the service at Morning Sim. in
Ixraisa county, la., fonr carriers were
employed. The service was established
Nov. 10, 1MM5, and 46,043 pieces of mail
were delivered and collected i p to th
date of report. The report says:
"Morning Sun is a village of
about 1,000 iuliabitauts, surrouu-1-ed
by an average thrifry
farming community. The entire
-territory covered is about 20 square
. miles. A number of farmers' houses in
this part of the state are from a quarter
to half mile from a public highway. In
order to make the experiment a success
it was, therefore, necessary to enlist the
active aid of farmers in erecting boxes
"by the roadside This they have done
and express themselves much gratified
with the service."

PARAGUS
BONDSMEN ARE NOT LIABLE.
Judge PaTTcll Decides State Cannot Col
lect on Hartley's I'ond.
Qmatta, Oct. 23. The bondsmen of
ex-State Treasurer Bardey this morn
ing won the suit instituted against
them by the state to recover the l:.."f
million dollar defalcation in the state !
treasurv when Barticv left on Jan. 8,
1S95.
The case will be ended tans this aft
ernoon in one of rwo ways. Either the
case will go to the jury and Judge Pow
ell will instruct to return a verdict for
the sureties, or General Attorney Smyth
will avail himself of a constitutional
privilege and will ask to withdraw one
of the jurymen. If a verdict is returned
the case will go to the supreme court ;
if dismissed it will be tried again at the
next term of the district court.
The victory for the bondsmen was
won on a question of law Judge Pow
ell deciding that the approval by the
governor of the bond of Bartley on
the first day of the term, January 3,
was essential to make the bond a
valid and binding instrument. Th"
bond had been approved by the gover
nor four days afterward, January 9, S95.
Lincoln, Oct. 23. In a four column
newspaper communication addressed to
the citizens of Nebraska Governor Hol
comb defends himself from charges in
connection with the defalcation of ex
Treasurer Bartley and bitterly arraigns
Republican leaders of the state whom
he declares are responsible for the stor
ies circulated against him.
These stories allege that the governor
approve! the bond of ex-Treasurer
Bartley, knowing it to be faulty and
that he was aware of Bartley s shortage
long before it was made public. Gov
ernor Holcomb declares that it was in
cumbent upon Governor Crounse, his
predecessor, to investigate the treasury
condition and approve the bond, but
that he shifted the responsibility to
him (Holcomb) and he was compelled
to meet the conditions which he found
to exist. The governor then proceeds
to disclose the condition of affairs at the
state house when he assumed office,
which he declares were honeycombed
with fraud and misrule. The entire
communication is a series of sensational
barges made against political opponents
in connection with the state treasury
steal and an elaborate defease of his
own actions.

Nebraska Law In Otiestion.
-Lincoln, Oct. 28. The constitution
ality of the law passed by the last leg
islature giving the state board of trans
portation control over express companies
has been called m question and an in
junction was granted m the district
court to the Pacific Express company,
enjoining the board from exercising
any autlionty. The injunction is tem
porary and the case will be pushed to
the supreme court at an early date
This action is the result of a complaint
filed with the board of transportation
charging that express rates are 33t per
cent too high, and demanding that the
reduction be made. Telephones and
telegraphs are similarly affected by the
new law.
Supreme Court After Judge Scott.
Omaha, Oct. 23. Judge Scott of the

Bellaire, O., Oct. 23. Senator
FTflPTin. put in a busy day yesterday
campaigning in the industrial towns of
southeastern Ohio. He made five sep
arate speeches, concluding with an ad
dress at the Elysian theater here last
evening.
The first meeting was at the Laugh
lin tin plate mills, where the senator
was told the employes have received an
advance in wages ranging from $4.60
to $24 a month since the passage of the
Dingley law and which is being en
larged so as to furnish employment to
350 additional hands. Senator Hanna
was received at the works by a salute
from all the whistles. The second
meeting was at the Aetna Standard
Iron and Steel works. The 2,000 em
ployes of the mill gave him an enthusi
astic greeting. Senator Hanna made a
lengthy speech, in which, in addition
to referring to the issues of the cam
paign, he took occasion to deny charges
that he is a labor crusher which have
been made against him by the Demo
craic press.
Curing his speech he said: am
told that the great free silver prophet is
coming to Ohio the last- few days of the
present campaign to tell the people they
did not know what they were talking
about last year. Bryan said wheat and
silver always went hand in hand. Soon
after Sept. 1, 181W, they parted company
and knocked Mr. Bryan's argument
into a cocked hat. Then he set up the
cry of class legislation and attempted to
array the poor against the rich. I say
to you that any man who makes state
ments tending to incite the people
against their fellow men ought to be
put in the pznitentiary."
Union Pacific Deal.
Somebody in the audience asked,
"How about the Union Pacific deal?"
"Well, my friends.' said the senator,
"I will tell yon all I know about that
deal. While Cleveland was in office a
syndicate of New Yorkers arranged
with the head of the government for
the purchase of the Union Pacific rail
way, which was purely an executive
act and was entirely proper. I knew
nothing about it particularly until I
was in the senate, when a resolution
was offered by Senator Harris of Kan
sas to postpone the closing of the con
tract until after the new administra
tion took hold and place the responsi
bility of closing the deal upon President
McKinley. I want the United States to
get out of the Union Pacific all they
can."
The senator closed with an appeal to
the voters to stand by the ticket.

paigning tour in Ohio yesterday morn

ternoon meeting was held. An audi
ence of 5,000 people, a majority of
whom were Republicans, it is said,
listened to the Defiance speech. The
applause was liberal.
The progress of the train from Defi
ance to Van Wert was marked by en

big crowd had assembled here to meet
Mr. Brvan. Several excursion trains
had been run, bringing people from the
nearby towns.
A procession was formed and the dis
tinguished speaker was escorted to his
hotel. About 6,000 people attended the
meeting in the evening and the remarks
of Mr. Bryan were frequently cheered.
Mr. Bryan devoted a portion of the
opening of his speech to Senator Hanna.
He also condemned government by in

labor difficulties.

REPLY RECEIVED FROM SPAIN.
Brief Outline Cabled Prom. 3Iadrid by
2Iinister Woodford.
Washington, Oct. 2S. The event of
the day yesterday at the state depart
ment was the receipt of the long ex
pected cablegram from United States
Minister Woodford at Madrid, trans
mitting the answer of the Spanish gov
ernment to his representations in the
interest of peace in Cuba. This mcs
snire "beEran to come in installments at 2
o'clock Tuesday night- and it was nearly
noon before it was aJ on. it was noc
the length of the message that occupied
the wires all the time, but the fact that
it was all in etouds of furores and that
it was probably being filed in small
batches as it was turned into the com
plicated state department cypher in
Madrid. All of this work had to he
undone at the state department and the
message translated from the cypher
back arrain into good English. This oc-
fTm?pd Tiearlv all of the dav. so that it
was 3 :30 o'clock before the first copy of
the message was turned out. It was
not so long, in fact, there is a little less
than 1.C00 words in the message, for
Mr. Woodford, instead of cabling the
whole of the Spanish answer to his
note, had contented himself with re
ducing the matter to a brief outline.
The first coTiv was taken at once to
the president, not being entrusted to a
messenger, hut ceinjg delivered Dy
Chief Clerk Michaels in person at the
White house. After due opportunity
had been allowed the president to read
the message, an application was made
for a statement of its nature. This was
rWHned bv Secretary Porter and it was
said that under no cinrumstances would
the porresoondence be made public be
lie "before the consideration of the cabi
net. From official information that
has reached certain officers in advance
of Mr. Woodford's message, it is evi
dent that in neither language or subject
matter is the message likely to be taken
as offensiue.
It may be. it is true, regarded as in
sufficient to meet the issue presented
hv Mr. Woodford in his note, but orh-
cials of the stats department say that in
view of what has already been accom-
nlicfced bv ehe new Spanish ministry
and cabinet in forming a basis in Cuba,
in removing Weyler. and m projecting
what appears to be a liberxl measure of
autonomy, our government will cer
tainly rest, at least until congress as
sembles, and afford the new Spanish
government time to carry out its plans.

Grain Elevator Burn-.
Buffalo, Oct. 28. The Turgis ele
vator, owned by the Buffalo Elevator
company and situated on the island at
the foot of Indiana street, was totally
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
the owners are inclined to think that it
was causedjby a spark from a passing
tug. There was in the elevator at the
time of the fire 79,000 bushels of wheat,
20.000 bushels of corn and 100,000 hush
els of oats. The grain was valued at

cepted All the strikers, about 1,000 in
number, have returned to work.

Inherited
Blood Taint!
Here is a case of Inherited blood taint '
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with a blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with tie slightest taint
in the "blood forces the undesirable leg-:
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inher-;
itance which handicaps them in the race j
of life.
No child who has a trace of bad blood
can be healthv or strong, and those pre
disposed to Scrofula are liable to a great ,
deal of sicsncss, because their constitu- ,
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
a majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that a child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall a vie- '
tim to dreaded consumption. (
Mr. V. A. Clavton, of Addie, t. C, ,
believes S.S.S. i9 the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases He says :
" My three-year-old dov had tne worst
case of Scrofula I ever heard of. He
MR. W. A. CLAYTON.
was given many blood remedies without
relief, and treated bv the best doctors.
He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finallv resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
" The bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recom
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood d iseases.
As soon as his svstem was under the ef
fect of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were com
pletely healed, iieiore long he could
walk "on crutches, and was imnroving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further
use for them : the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys
tem, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was a permanent one,
as no sign of the disease has returned
for ten vears,"
S.S.SI is a real blood remedy, and
promptly reaches all deep-seated and
obstinate blood diseases, it matters not
what other treatment has failed. It is
the onlv remedy which acts on the cor-
rect principle oi lorcmgtne disease irom
