Persons entitled to imike entry under this preference right will be permitted to do so at any time during said period of thirty days follow ing the opening without previous regis tration. and without regard to the draw ing herein provided for and at the ex piration of that period the lands in said “neutral strip” for which no entry shall have been made will come under the general provisions of this proclamation. The Intended beneficiaries of the pro vision In the -aid acts of Congress, ap proved. respectively, March 1890, ant: .Tune B. 1900. which authorises a qualified entry man having lands adjoining tie ceded lands, whoa* original entry em braced less than 180 acres, to enter so much of the ceded lands as will make Ids homestead entry contain In the ag gregate not exceeding 180 acre*, may ob tain such an extension of his existing entry, without previous registration anti without regard to the drawing licreli provided for, only by making appropriate application, accompanied by the necessarv proofs, at the proper new land office at some time prior to the opening herein provided for.

The local officers will forthwltj, transmit said petition to the Commis sioner of the general land office with theii itcotnm' ndatlon In the premises Such commissioner.

In such event the lands so with held from homestead entry and settle ment will, at the time of said opening and not before, become subject to settle, ment, entry, and disposition under the general townsite laws of the United States None of said ceded lands w*ll be subject to settlement, entry or d I a post lion under such general townsite laws except in the manner herein presrrib* d until after the expiration of sixty days from the time of said opening TOWNSITKH. Attention is hereby especially called (o the fact that under the sp»elal provisions of the said set of I’ongress. approved Marih 3. 1301. the townsite selected and designated at the county seats of the new counties Into which aaid lands hn\i> been formed ran not he disposed of un der the general townaite laws of the United Slates, and can only tie disposed of In Ihe special manner provided In sai l act of t'oiigreas. which declares: “The lands so set apart and designated shall.

Inopportune consolations increase a deep f.ftrrow.—Rousseau. Fortune does not change men; It unmasks them.—Mme. Necker. If you can not do what you like to do. try to like what you have to do. Two good rules for life are: Ntver be discouraged; never be a discour ager.—Ariel. Sliun idleness; it is the rust that attaches Itself to the most brilliant . metals.—Voltaire. WISE OR OTHERWISE. No philosopher ran give a reason for half that he thinks. A man without a conscience is a man without principle. The high premium on honesty proves that it is the best policy. Pride and folly cost some people more than their actual necessities. Spite enables the fool to believe he is happy in his unhappiness. A good business qualification is the ability to attend to one % own business of lh* Interior, at sates to be bad at the opening end subsequent thereto." AH persons are especially admonished that under the said act of Congress, ap proved March 8 1*01. It Is provided that no person shall be permitted to settle upon, occupy or enter any of said ceded lands except In the manner prescribed In this proclamation until after the c« plratton of sixty days from the time when the same are opened to settlement and entry.

It appearing that there are fences around the pastures Into which, for con venience. portions of the ceded lands have heretofore been divided, and that these fences are of considerable value and are still the property of the Indian tribes ceding said lands to the United States, all persons going upon, examin ing, entering, or settling upon any of said lands are cautioned to respect sueh fences as the property of the Indians and not to destroy, appropriate or carry away the same, but to leave them undisturbed so thut they may be seasonably removed and preserved for the bettedl of the In dians.

Many Group* D««€>rve Greater Attention Than They It celve. Among the most popular flowers of to-day are the lovely peonies in va ried tints of rose, pale crimson and purple. The petals of some varieties are as large a» saucers, and being of a satiny texture, and drooping in graceful folds, they attract a good deal of attention. It is pleasing to know that these tree peonies will grow in any good soil without much trouble, consequently the whole tribe shou'd be found a place in every garden. They give a fine effect in beds on lawns, or may be grown in pots and taken into the conservatory at the present season when at their fullest beauty. Some of the newest kinds measure nine inches across the bloom These peonies die down in autumn, and start growth with renewed vigor in spring. The gold-flowered Ethio pian lily is another beautiful thing that ladies procure as a fitting com panion to the pure white variety. There is also quite a novel pink flow ered form, but as yet quite rare; It wag discovered recently In Rhodesia. Many dwelling houses are now adorned with the lovely climbing Wisteria sinesls, which is unequalled for the purpose when in flower The fine pendulous ra cemes of a rich lavender color remind one of a bunch of grapes from the w ay they hang on the branches. They are produced so freely that at the pres ent season there seem more bldssoms than leaves. The Wisteria Is quite hardy and its stems extend to a great length each summer. Young plant* can be bought very cheaply, and we strongly recommend this elegant climber to those who do not know' it. A group of pretty flowering plants that deserve greater attention than they receive are the double-flowered ivy leaved geraniums. Few plants compare with them for balconies or window boxes or to hang down from stagings in the conservatory or from baskets; the foliage alone is handsome, whilst the flowers which are produced so freely, right through thp summer, are both bright and lasting. They 'look magnificent whpn trained along trellis work in sunny positions • THE PRICE OF CHOCOLATE. Much Cheaper lit America than la Couotrlae Where drown. When, on drinking your cup of < hoc olate at breakfast, you find a sediment deposited in the bottom of the cup, you may feel sure that this insolubl* stuff is the adulterant with which th« chocolate is cheapened to such a de gree that the beverage far from ltd source of production costs less than it does in the place where it is produced. In SouiQ America the retail price foi the better grades of chocolate average! about $1 per pound, while in Italy, France. England and In the United states the better grades sell at a much lower price. In America the ordinary chocolate sells for about one-third of the price that is charged for it where it ip produced. The cause of this, the producers say, is that the original product is adulterated greatly before reaching its final market, a cheaper ar ticle than the cocoa bean constituting the large proportion of PC per cent of the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa bean from which chocolate is manu factured is produced in its finest form in Venezuela, though var'.ius other parts of Central and South America grow and export large quantities Two crops of the bean are gatheied each year, and the manufacture consist! simply in grinding up the beans info meal and then adding sugar and arrow root. with the necessary flavor— usual* ly vanilla or cinnamon. The mass 1* moistened until it is in a semi-fluid state, after which it is run into molds of the proper shape.—New York Press. Maarlra Harrymora's Willy Retort. The clever wit of the recently de mented actor, Maurice Barrymore, is still the foremost subject in the circle of the unfortunate man's friends. On one occasion, when Barrymore was visited by a number of friends, one of them dropped a 60-cent piece on the floor, and. search high and low, the money could not be fouii'* "Won der where it went to!" one rent irked. "Went to the devil. I guess." said ihe loser, "Trust you for making 50 cents go further than any ouc els«*" said Barrymore.—New York Time*. MILEAGE CF THE COUNTIES. Nibmiki IndimtrUI D^ptrimfol Plgorw R»llro«d Fuels. LINCOLN, Neb., July 15.—The de partment of labor and industrial sta« tisti.*s hag completed a compilation showing the number of square miles of territory, date of permanent or ganization and number of miles of rail road for every county in the state. This information was obtained from various sources. The railroad statis tics were compiled from the official records of the auditor's office, the fig ures relating to square mileage from the state survey and the dates of or ganiaztion from histories, county and judicial officials and early settlers. The dates of county organization comprise an entirely new feature of Nebraska statistical information. It was necessary for the compilers to consult every source of information to get the correct dates, and very often these sources gave conflicting accounts. In Knox county, for example, the first organization was destroyed by In dians and the next establishment be came confused with the military force stationed in the county. In such instance the date of permanent or ganization was accepted. The figures given in the report have been verified and they will soon be officially pub lished by the state. MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. Court Drcldta tlint Ttirv Cannot Limit I,lability of Mnubem. LINCOLN. Neb.. July l.').—The su preme court has decided that mutual insurance companies cannot limit the liability of its members. This opinion is delivered in the case of Morgan against the Hog Kaisers’ Mutual In surance company. Morgan had a con tract with the company which limited his liability. An epidemic caused the claims against the company to exceed the assets by $13,000 and the officers sought to collect this sum, notwith standing it exceeded the total limit of liability. The court says that members of a mutual insurance company are obli gated to pay all assessments necessary to liquidate losses and expenses of management and that it is the duty of the directors to make an assessment whenever necessary, and, further, that if this assessment Is not paid within thirty days suit may be commeny*>. under the law. The court holds that there is no merit In the contention of the objecting members that be cause the contracts are limited as to liability they cannot be held liable for the full amount of the losses.

July is — Christopher Anderson, an old resident of this city, who moved to Lincoln about two years ago. shot himself upon the grave of his wife in Wyuka cemetery in this city. The weapon used was a 32-caliber revolver, the muzzle of which was evidently placed in his mouth. The hall passed up ward and lodged in the brain. Dr. Neal probed for the ball, but could not locate it. The physician states that the man cannot live. Anderson came to Nebraska City thirty-five years ago and lived 'here up to the time of the death of his wife two years ago, when he moved to Lincoln and took up his residence with his son. He was a mer chant tailor. He came here to visit a son and seemed in the best of spir its, although his health had not been good lately. His family consists of two sons and a daughter.

There were many sun strokes, prostrations and faintings in the streets, which kept the ambulances busy.
