Gentlemen: I enclose herewith 11
printed copy of the act of Congress,
approved April 2S. l'JOt (Public No.
233), entitled "An net to umunil the
homestead laws 111 to certain unappro
priated and unreserved lands in Neb
raska." It is directed by the law that in that
portion of the state of Nebraska
lying1 west and north of the Hue
described therein, nud marked in red
ink upon the map transmitted here
with, upon unci after June as, 1001,
except for such lauds ns miiy be here
after nnd prior to said date excluded
under the proviso contained in tiie first
section thereof, homestead entries may
be made for and not to exceed in
area 040 acres, the same to be in us
nearly a compact form as possible
and must not In any event exceed
3 miles In extreme length.
Under the provisions of the seeond
section, n person who within the
described territory hns made entry
prior to April 23, 1004, under the home
stead laws of the L'nlted Stntes, and
who now owns and occupies the lands
theretofore entered by him, may make
an additional entry of a quantity of
land contiguous to his said homestead
entry, which, added to the urea of the
original entry, shall make an aggre
gate area of not to exceed 010 acres;
and he shall not be required to reside
upon the additional land so entered,
residence upon the original homestead
being accepted as equivulant thereto;
but iiinal entry will not be allowed
on such additional land until after live
years huve "elapsed nfter making the
entry.
Such additional entry must be on
contiguous lands and the tracts
embraced therein must be in as com
pact a form us possible, and the
extreme length of the combined entries
must not In any event exceed 3 miles.
In accepting entries under this act
the compliance thereof with the
requirements as to compactness of
form should be determined by the rel
ative location of the vacant and unap
propriated hinds, rather than by the
quality and desirability of the desired
tracts.
By the second proviso of section 3,
such entrymen who now own and
occupy their homesteads are allowed
a prefereutial right for ninety days
after April 2S. l'.toi, within which to
muke tlie additional entry allowed bi
section 3 of the law.
Until the period of ninety days uf ter
the passnge of the act has elapsed you
will require parties making entry to
furnish a special atlldavit to the effect
that the lands applied for are not
adjoining the hind of any cntrymau,
other than himself or herself, who Is
entitled to the preferential right under
said law.
153 the first proviso of section .'1, any
person who has made 11 homestead
entry prior to his application for entry
under this act, nnd has resided upon
nnd cultivated the same for the period
required by law, will be allowed to
make an additional entry for a quanti
ty of land, which added to the urea of
the land embraced in the former entry
shall not exceed (540 acres, but resi
dence and cultivation of the additional
lands will be required to be made and
proved as in ordiuury homestead
entries.
Under said act no bar is interposed
to the. making of second homesteads
for the full urea of 040 acres by parties
entitled thereto under existing lawb,
and applications therefor will be con
sidered under the instructions of the
respective laws under which they are
made.
Upon final proof, which may be
made after live years and within seven
years from date of entry, the entryman
must prove afllrmatlvely that he has
placed upon the lunds entered perma
nent improvements of the value of
not less than $1 25 per acre for each
acre, and, with the exception of those
entitled to make additional entries of
adjoining hind under section 3, such
proof must also show residence upon
and cultivation of the land as in ordi
nary homestead entries.
A person who has a homestead entry
upon which finul proof has not been
submitted and who makes additional
entry under the provisions of section 3
of the act will be required to submit
his final proof in the original entry
within the statutory period therefor,
nnd final proof upon the additional
entry will also have to be submitted us
herein set forth.
In the making of final proofs the
homestead proof forms will be used,
modified when necessary in case of
additional entries made under the pro
visions of section 2,
It is provided by section 3 that the
fees uud commissions 011 nil entries
under the act shall be uniformly the
same as those charged uuder the pres
ent law for a maximum entry at the
minimum price, viz, at the time appli
cation is made $14, and at the time of
making finul proof St, to be payable
without rcgurd to the urea embraced
in the entry.
In case that the combined area of
the subdivisions selected should upon
upplying the rule of approximation
thereto be found to exceed in nrea the
aggregate of fllo ucres the entryman
will be required to pay the miuinum
price per acre for the excess in area.
Entries made uuder this act are not
subject to the commutation provisions
of the homestead law.
Before bald act shall become opera
tive you will be advised us to the lands
that it may be deemed practicable to
irrigate under the national irrigation
law or by private enterprise which
will be excluded from entry under the
proviso contained In the tlrst section
thereof. Very respectful I v,

A June Wedding.
at the home A Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Berry
of Antioch, occurred a pretty wedding,
when their daughter Nellie was united in
marriage to Walter C. Moulton by Rev. J.
H. Embree of Hcmingford. The bride
wore a becoming gown of white and
carried roses. The groom, of course, wore
conventional black. The bride's maid,
Miss Delia Strong, wore blue and carried
carnations. Mr. J. I. Wilson of Merna
acted as best man. After the ceremony
and congratulations a bountiful dinner
was enjoyed by their many friends. The
bride was graduated from the Chadron
academy in 1899 and has taught most of
the time since, and by her sweet gentle
nature won many warm friends among
the grown people and endeared herself to
all the children. Mr. Moulton was locat
at Reno about 8 months as operator and is
well and favorably known, having made
many warm friends while here.
Many beautiful and useful presents were
received by the happy conpln.
After July 1, Mr. and Mrs. Moulton
will be at home to their friends at Bel
mont, Neb.
Hotel Changes Hands.
Mrs. Johnson, proprietor of the Hila
Grand hotel, leased that property to
C. Paulson of Cheyenne Wednesday of
this week who hns assumed charge
thereof. Mrs. Johnson and daughters
will go to Lusk, Wyo., next week, where
Miss Mary will look after her claim.
Mrs. Johnson and daughter Nora will
later go to the Pacific coast on nn ex
tended trip.
Rev. Father Galvin departed on his long
trip Monday and no doubt by this time is
well toward the Atlantic seaboard. A lit
tle surprise was perpetrated on the rever
end gentleman by a large number of his
parishoncrs and others last Saturday night,
when they congregated at the church
parsonage to bid him good bye. After
several minutes in pleasant conversation
Mr. Frank Broome on behalf of the con
tributors, presented Father Galvin with a
wallet containing something over $200,
and expressed the wishes of all for a safe
journey to foreign lands and a hope that
he would be benefited physically thereby.
In reply, Father Galvin thanked the
donors who had held him in such high
esteem and promised to remember them
in his prayers and masses in the most
sacred shrines and in the catacombs of
Rome, where the early Christians offered
up their lives for the faith. Mesdames
Hillicr, Reardon and Elmore were instru
mental in realizing this handsome gift from
among the parishoners.
Jacob Crowell, an old and respected citi
zen of West Lawn, died Wednesday of last
week at 11 a. m., after an illness of a
week's duration with measles followed by
an attack of pneumonia. Deceased resid
ed with his son-in-law, C. G. Mossbarger,
and daughter Arrie, with whom he rcmov
to this city from Edgemont about two
years ago. His son Edward and wife of
Hot Springs were in attendance at the
funeral, which took place at the M. E.
church, Thursday of lastveek, Rev. Jef
fcrs officiating. Interment took place at
Greenwood cemetery.
Card of Thanks.
The families of Mr. and Mrs. C. G.
Mossbarger and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Crowell
desire to thank the frieifds and neighbors
who so kindly tendered their assistance
during the illness and death of their lie
loved father. Jacob Crowell of West Lawn.
In speaking of the change in mun
icipal affairs last week, Tin: HnKAU)
had no intention to infer that J. A.
Rodgers was the street coinmissiouet
succeeded by M. A. Shay. In fact,
there was no active commissioner at
the time, Mr. Rodgors was simply em
ployed by the administration to per
form work on the highways, which he
did in a most satisfactory manner.
There was no intention to cast reflec
tion on this gentleman hence it should
not be so construed.

CHICAGO CONVENTION
Most Uninteresting Gathering in the
History of the Republican Party.
The republican national convention,
which convened in Chicago this week was
ono of strange surroundings compared to
thoso of past years. There was an entire
lack of enthusiasm nnd outside of the
usual business part of tho city there was
nothing to indicate that one of the loading '
parties of the United States was holding
its convention for the selection of candi
dates for president and vice president.
Not half the convention hall or the hotels
were filled and there was a noticeable
absence of olubs and bands. The dele
gates stood around without so much as
enough enthusiasm to discuss the prob
able platform or candidate for second place.
There wero no pictures of' the prospective
candidates in tho hall and the only por
trait that adorned the wall for n long
time was that of the late Marcus Hanna, '
and it only required the ashes of tho
departed leader of that fatherless party to
make the scene one of dissolution and the
deatli watch. No delegate had a word to
say or suggestion to offer in regard to the
party's pojicy in tho coming" campaign,
neither was their counsel solicited. It
was a cut and dried affnir from start to
finish. This condition characterized the
opening of the convention, Yesterday the
leaders succeeded iu arousing a little
enthusiasm but it would not be a respect
able echo of the gatherings when Grant,
Blaine, and other celebrated leaders were
on earth. It is an ill omen to the party 6
and even the republican papers speak of
the lethargy wjth a spirit that forbodes
anger.
The convention was what some call a
business affair conducted on business
principles. When the organization met
yesterday and the question of adopting tho
platform was announced the document
was promptly brought forth from cold
storage and after Chairman Cannon's
speech, the same was presented and adopt
ed without n moment's hesitation. It was
short order work, and any oncthat didn't
like the nature of the document, could find
the door as quickly as possible. In sub
stance, tho plrftform is the same old story
of sound monjy, and the gold standard,
with Ho "Iowa Ideas" about it, a straddle
of tho fence on the labor-capital question,
brotherly relations with foreign countries
and guardianship for such as are unable
to defend themselves (?) and three cheers
for Roosevelt. This about sums up the
platform. There are a few minor planks
that mean nothing.
As quick as it was to enact the platform,
the same brevity of time saw tho nomina
tion of Theodore Roosevelt and Charles
W. Fairbanks of Indiana for president and
vice president. Without waiting for the
time honored speeches to follow the
greater number of delegates left tho hall
and whole delegations disappeared before
the adjournment. It was the coolest con
vention in the history of American politics.
Simon Spry has secured the agency for
the celebrated Val Blatz bottled beer in
cases and is prepared lo fill all orders
promptly. This brand of beer has a
world-wide reputation and is recommended
as the best tonic for those requiring ,1
stimulant that is wholesome and pure. It
