Quite a number of thoso who arrivo to day and tomorrow will remain until tho drawing is made next Tuesday. The drawing will probably be held in the Lloyd opera house and will begin at ten o'clock in tho forenoon. It is probable thatjnot more than four hour will becon sumed in the drawing, and that by the middle of the afternoon the names and addresses of tho lucky holders will be known. About four times as many numbers as there are clairrm in the reserve will be drawn, thus giving ample leeway for others to take tho place of those who draw the lowor numbers but fail to locate. Generally in these drawings there are quite a few who do not tako advantage of their privilege to enter the land. The rush of the home seekers this week has besn heavier than last week, taking the number day by day. Tues day the registration was 2791 and Wed nesday 2522. There has not been a day since registration began that tho num ber has fallen below 2000. Last week those registering were principally residents of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa. This week there has been a greater percen tage irom more distant states, yuite a number come from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and Missouri is showing up strong. There is but little decrease in tho num ber arriving by automobiles. Among thoso Wednesday was a party of ten from Oklahoma, who carried camping equipment with them. After registering they started for the reserve and will ex amine all parts of it Thoy will return here for the drawing. By the time they arrive homo they will have traveled over 1500 miles The crowds at the booths have been handled even more quickly this week than last, the notaries becoming more experienced and theroforo more expe ditious. Yesterday morning 375 came in on trains No. 13 and No. 19, and practically all of them returned on train No. 10 at 0:30, only spendirig two or three hours in town. C. O. Weingand made a hit yester day when ho took a map, drew circles around certain sections and placed there on the estimated value of the desig nated sections. These values run from $4,000 to $15,000. Tho map was placed in tho window, and since then there has been a continuous crowd in front of it, many of tho men reproducing tho mark ings on mans for their individual use, The percentage of women registering this week has been greater than last, evidence that the lure of the land ef fects females as well ns males. One woman who camo from Thermopolis, Wyo., stated that she had drawn a claim on tho Shoshoni reservation, had proven up on it and felt sure sho would get a lucky number in this drawing. In connection with tho registration Minor Hinman conducted a drawing of his own. Ho offered an $1800 Chalmers car to the holder of a certain ticket among 2000 issued. As those register ing passed through the rear of the building, ho solicited them to purchase a ticket with tho result that at tho end of seven dayH he had disposed of 2000 tickets. This shows that the gambling spirit nmong the visitors was strong. Local and Personal Mrs. Frank Barton, of Bignell, was in town yesterday visiting friends. L. F.

No. 1, North Platte Nob. Won Tfieir Pardons. From tho time of tho story of Damon and Pj thine various reasons for tem porary release from jaU have been giv en. It Is related that In tho Napoleon ic era a soldier confined in a military prison for n minor offense against tho service during a brief tirao of peace was released in order that he might bo present at tho christening of his in fanfTson, born during his imprison ment. -But Napoleon, in order to test tho intensity of the man's desire, made him agree to serve a year longer for tho privilege of n three day furlough. Tho soldier gladly did It nnd when ho returned found n pardon and a cor poral's warrant for his infant son, to, bo vnlid when tho son had "served with credit six months in the emper 'or's nrmy of the future." Frederick tho Great released an audncious cap tain under sentence of death so that the captain might "tell him a few beneficial things about himself." Tho things told face to face influenced tho great king to pardon tho blunt death defying soldier. New York Sun. Beecher Found Them. nenry Wnrd Beecher ubed to visit his old friends onco n year for many years, but In tho latter part of his Hfo ho was not able to do this. In his very last year, however, ho was nblo to 'upend a day in Indianapolis nnd went round tho place. That evening he was received by tho ministers, nnd tho chairman in welcoming him said: "Doubtless you find few of your old friends here In Indianapolis after so many years of absence, but wo who aro hero welcome you just ns warmly." Mr. Beecher in reply said: "Your chairman has snld that I havo found few of my old friends hero in tho city. It is true I found only Mr. , Mr. and Mr. " (naming our or five of tho old men of tho city). "But this afternoon wo drovo out to Cedar 11111" (tho cemetery), "and I found them. They nro nil there, sleep ing just ns peacefully as they used to do under my sermons." Speed of,Anlma!s. According to tho naturalists, no ani mal is known to havo exceeded tho speed attained by tho famous raco horso Sysonby. Instantaneous photo graphs show tho full length of ono completo strldo of about twenty-six feet In tho stride of tho fastest racers tho hind quarters and limbs aro rnised considerably higher than tho shoulders and from this relatively great height is brought dowmvnrdnnd forward, wide ly separating from each other, ns a sportsman says, "to avoid striking tho foro legs." Tho haro which Is hunted with fast dogs has not in reality tho speed of tho dog. Tho dog, on tho other hand, does not attain tho speed of tho horso. The giraffe Is said to run at tho rato of fifteen yards per second under tho most favorablo conditions. Tho elephant, going at a rato of two yards a second, enrrics a weight approximat ing thnt carried by six horses. Perpetual Silence. A curious mourning custom obtains among central Australians, who, al though representing perhaps tho low est rind most degraded typo of human beings, havo managed to ovolvo n most complox system of rites and ceremonies which governs almost every action of their lives. When n husbnnd dies tho widow paints herself nil over with whlto pigment nnd for tho spaco of a year must not exhibit hersolf to a mnlo member of tho trlbo on pain of death. For tho rest of her life, unless sho mar ries again, which is sometimes allowed, sho must not speak, but communicate vlth tho other women by means of n sign language, consisting of move ments of tho hands nnd fingers, which has been doveloped by those snvogcB to n marvelous extent and by which their limited stock of ideas can bo fully expressed.
