Cal., this afternoon Before leaving for
the"vestMr. Richards said:
"I am greatly encouraged in believihg
we will secure some sort of legislation per
mitting the leasing of public lands during
the present session of congress. I have
outlined a bill, which was submitted to the
Nebraska delegation last night, and to a
representative of the government, and I
have reason lo believe that the president
and secretary onheTnlerlor will give' the
measures their support I anticipate that
' there will be a unitedtfelcgatlon from Ne
braska in Us favor, and I am. confident that
Chairman Lacey, of the public land com
mittee of the house, will also lend his as
sistance. The states contiguous to Ne
braska are interested in the scheme of
making the bill apply only to Nebraska,
and they watch with much interest the
manner of Its working out. ? Of course, I
do not pretend ib say that the scheme as

Important Decision.
, The Supreme court gave a decision of
Importance, Wednesday, relating to fore
clpsure of taxes'qn land by counties. The
case of Logan county against Carnahan is
reversed, Chief Justice Sullivan writing
the opinion. In this case It is held that a
.court cannot foreclose for taxes withbut
first securing a tax deed of certificate, and
that when a tax deed ot certificate Is se
cured the purchaser would take the land
subject to the owuer's constitutional right
to redeem withtn two years. Judge Grimes
of the district bench has been holding to
, the conjract, and many counties in the
western part of the siate have been fore
closing, sometimes on land when only a
small amount of taxes is due. The law
.firm of Hoagland & Hoagkad of North
Platte has been fighting the matter, and
lias now secured a reversal by the supreme
court. wwwww '

ing tbe wonderful senses of the deer ia
that of, understanding how1 dne looks in
the "woods., Your ideas are necessarily
taken from pictures or from stuffed
deer or tame ones in a park. You are
almost certain to be looking for a deer.
whereas you might better' be looking
for ntaythilig else, In tho woods you
fceldem see halt of a deer and generally
much less, often only a port of the
shoulder, or only ad ear over a log or a
leg tinder it, a bit of rUmp projecting
from a bUsh or a head and bit of tho
Beck reaching up for Jeuves. The ar
cade of maplo lit up by the scarlet1 of
the ginseng and bush cranberry, tho
little arbor where the wild hop is yel
lawlflg oyer tho thorn apples on which
half a doea ruffed grouse are taking
tkek breakfast, tho edge of the pool
where tbe trout flashes through jthe
water, over which, tho chclone is atill
nodding, or the darksome glade where
tbe golden peJiiMi of the witch hazel
are closing the floral march pf the year
would all make lovely frames for that
charming artist's deer with individual
hair all glistening, tbe dark dew
claws shining, and even tbe split in tho
hoof, flashing artistic light from its
edges, But the glittering tines, he

it particularly hard work to do so.
On? day, when the springs of sym
pathy, seemed to have dried up, John

local doctor and said:
"I've come to get a' my teeth taken

"Dear me!" said the medical man.
"What's wrung wj' them?" -
"Oh, they're a rlcht. but 1'vq'nae
