D.-Omaha Bee special : It looks now as though Bone- . steel will bo able to handle the rush expected here next weelt. 'rhey are figuring ( on at least 30,000 registrations here , and already have accommodations - tions for about. 5,000 peolJle. 'rho town is wide open , every other building Is a saloon or restaurant , while shack lodging houses and tents occupy : all vacant lots Gambling in ! very ! form Is In evidence here and the IJlgmltl and sure.thlng man Is au the ground In force. So far there have been hut two holdups , and the town is orderly and well policed. H looks now as though the restaurant ' ant and lodging house business would bo overdone , and the prospects are good for reasonable rates during the rush Prices are no higher here now than In eastern Nebraska towns. The restaurants serve a substantial meal for 25 cents , a comfortable bed may he bad at any of the numerous lodg- Ing houses for a like amount , and beer Is 5 [ j cents n glass. Estimating the total number who will register for land at 60,000 , It Is a good gamble at big otids ! , and , n. , large part of those already here are attracted by the chance to win some After a care- ful Inspection of the reservation lands It Is safe to say that of the 38 1,000 acres there are at least 1,500 claims more than worth the outlay necessary to secure them. Real estate agents here are offering to pay $800 for ' claims numbered as high 'as 850 , while the preceding numbers arc valued . ued at from $0,000 Jown. As it costs nothing to register , the chances of se. curing one of the lucky numbers is proving an attraction to the speculator as well as the homeseelwr A large part of those already here are sopcu- lators-men of small means who feel uclty. } The general character of the reser. vatlon is roiling. The northwestern portion Is rough grazing land. On rough land of the same character , joining the reservation , stock Is rang- ell all winter and In ordinary years comes out In good shape About forty head will do well on a quarter section tlOJf It Is said. The crops near Donesteel loot well this season-corn and small graln- and the farms have a thrifty appear- o.nce. A quarter section of Improved land here Is valued at from $2,000 to $7,000. It is thought llonesteel will be able to handle the crowd without anw dif11- culty. It Is reasonably certain one will be able to secure a bed or a meal here for 50 cents during the rush. Already some thlrt 'notal'ies are on the ground and as many more locating agencies There are perhaps 1,000 strangers here now and this number Is being swelled dally , although the mush is not expected before the first week In July. Visitors are not me- ! eluded from the reservation and the liveries are doing a thriving business.

The sentence to which reference Is made reads as allows : - " 1'0 obtain registration each applicant ' cant will be required to show himself duly qualified , by written application to be made on a blank form provided by the commissioner nf the general land office , Macy , has Issued the fol- try of these lands111 do l' existing laws and to give the registering officer - cer such appropriate matters of description - scription and Identity as wm protect the applicant and government against any attempted Impersonation. " The language of this clause would seem to Indicate that blanK forms could only be obtained from the of- nco of the commissioner of the gen- CI'nl land office at Washington , Such , however , Is not the fact. These blanks are really only obtainable at the registration points name in the proclamation , namely Chamberlain Yanleton , Bonesteel , and Fairfax , S. I ) . The chief cleric of the general land office , Macy , his issued the following - lowing endeavor to clear up the misapprehension . apprehension which has been caused by the careless wording of the proc- Imatlon : "H.eferring to the president's pros lamatlon of May 13 , 1904 , providing for the opening of the Rosebud In- diun reesrvatlon in which it Is stated at the bottom of page 3 three that applicants to register must use n blank provided by the commissioner or the general land office , these blanks can be obtained only at the registration points In South Dakota named In the proclamation The only blank given out from the general land office at Washington is the blank form of power of attorney for use of soldiers who desire to register by an agent" MERCHANT ORDERED TO LEAVE Harry A.

The only accusation . satlon made against him by Captain Bulleley Wells , who ordered him toI I leave before martial law was sus- pended , was that he received on deposit . posit at his store funds of the local 1\IIners' union and transacted business for that organization.

CABINET CHANCES . ) I NEBRASKA MAN BECOMES SECR .I ' TARY OF NAVY. PAUL MORTON ACCEPTS PLACE4- ' ) New Official to Enter Upon His Duty July 1st-Metcalf of California Is to Be Secretary of' Commerce , and Labor ASHINGTON-A sweeping change in the cabinet of President Roosevelt was announced officially at the White House Friday. The announcement came in the form of a brief typewritten - ten statement Issued by Secretary Loob , as follows : "Tho following cabinet appoint- ments are announced : William H. Moody of Massachusetts , attorney general . eral ; Paul Morton of Illinois , secretary . tary of tho' navy ; Victor H. l\1etcatr of California , secretary . . . of commerce and labor. " The resignation of Secretary Cortel- you and Attorney General Knox have been accepted , to take effect July 1. For two weeks or more it has been . known that these changes were 1m't pending. When Secretary Cortelyou was designated by President Roosevelt to be his campaign manager it was certain that he would retire from the cabinet upon his assumption of duties as chairman or the republican national committee. Just before he left for Chicago last Wednesday he placed In I the hands of the president his letter , of resignation from the department of commerce and labor. It was under- stood between the president and him that the resignation was to be accepted . ed to take effect nt the end of the pres- ent fiscal year , June 30 , Inclusive. The taking effect of his resignation at that time would afford him an opportunity to complete some work in the depart- . , . ment which he had initiated and which ) . It was important he should carry to a conclusion. One week ago Attorney General I Knox formally nnnounced that he - would retire from the department or justice probably at the end of the a fiscal year. It was understood at the same time that Secretary Moody would succeed 1\11' Knox as attorney general. The statement was made , however , that , while the transfer of Secretary ! : Moody to the department of Justice was very probable , it was dependent , In a measure , on the resldent's success - cess In securing such a successor fo ' him in the navy department as he de- sired. In pursuit of his purpose to secure the services of a toroughly able and congenial man , President Roosevelt f , i tendered the appointment of secretary , . of the navy to Paul Morton , first vice presldentOf the AtchIson , Topeka & Santa ! : Fe railroa 1\11' Morton is a personal friend of the president or many years standing He Is a son of the late J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska . of In " _ braslen secretary agriculture , . . . . . . , President Cleveland's last al1mlnistro. tlon. Mr. Morton has had experience In Washington , having been here with his father. Since President Roosevelt has been In the White House has has made more than one effort to induce Mr Morton to accept a position in his ad- mlnlstraUon. Feeling that his life work In the railroad business , In which he has achieved success , might be impeded . peded by his acceptance of an oUlcial . : * . position In the government , he minf- - : \ 101'Inly has declined all such proffers. In consequence with this feeling he declined the proffer of the portfolio or the navy Be was requested by the president to consider his dlsln-- cllnatlon. Ho toot dinner at the White House and the whole subject was considered , after which Mr. Morton - ton had consulted with his personal and business friends and associates At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Morton told the president he 'would accept the position In the cab- . . - J IDat. .
