Registration Closes
Tomorrow Night
The registration for the land drawing
will close tomorrow night, and if tho
present ratio keep9 up until the booths
aro closed the total will exceed 70,000.
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.

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.
