HOMESTEAD DECISION.
People Having More th n 160 Acrc.
lIave No Righb Under Kink -
k id Act.
Among the uncertainties in
the administration of the Kin-
kaid homestead law was the con-
strucl on to be placed thereon
with rderence to the qualification -
tion of an applicant to make an
additional entry.
In making an original bomc-
stead entry , the applicant must
swear that he is not the owner or
proprietor of more than one hun.
dred and sixty acres of land in
any state or territory.
In many cases persons had
entered HO acres of land under
the former la vi , and in the meantime -
time acquired other lands by purchase -
chase , and if the qualification
with reference to their ownership
of lands was to be consisdered
as of dIe tuue the ) " made the
original entrj' , it will be seen
tha t such parties could enter four
hundred and eighty acres as additional -
ditional homestead under the
Kinkaid law.
Sometime since the General
Land Ofiice in the case of Puetze
vs. Moeller , decided that such
persons as we have described
were entitled to make the additional -
ditional entrv , and that the
ownership of r'Cal estate acquired
after making the original homestead -
stead entry , did not constitute a
bar to make the adehtional.
A recent decision however ,
dated September 19 , 1906 , in the
case of Wertz , et aI , vs. Nora
Bourret , et aI , and which cites
the case of Arthur J. Abbott
(31 ( L. D. 502) ) says : "The p -
partment has held that the quail-
ficntions of an applicant to make
additional entry under the Act
of April 28 , IfJ06 , must be determined -
mined as of the date of the presentation -
sentation of the application and
not as of thl ! date when his
original entry was made. "
rl'he case first referred to is of
interest further , because it holds
that one of the parties who made
application for additional entry
'in face of an dverse simultaneous -
eous application , is defeated in
her applicatiou for the reason
that the tracts applied for by
her did not form a compact body
of land as required by the law.
Evidence of Sincerity.
There has always been. more or
less loose by politicians about
railroad abuses , but this is the
first time that the concrete facts
have been discussed by the candidates -
dates of any party in their
campaign addresses. The figures
presented by Norris Brown and
George L. Sheldon concerning
discriminations against Nebraska
on grain and coal have fallen1ike
a bombshell in the railroad camp ,
and general freight agents arc
already making labored explanations -
tions of why the 500 mile haul to
Ch1cago can be made at a mere
fraction of the rate charged for a
100 mile trip in Nebraslm. No
better evidence of the sincerity
of the republican candidates
could be. asled than the opposition -
tion they have aroused.-St.
Paul Hepublican.
Cheap Funerals.
'Word comes from the far wesl
that the undertaker works 'bani
for his money out there , and iJ
, the report is to be believed , he
must do a good bit of his ghoulis
work for love. At any rate. at
undertaking firm i the state oj

" 1.0 My li'armer Friends : We
as farmers are very willing to
admit whnt the fine-toned orators
tell USi that we are the most
independent people on earth , and
so we could and ought to bc ,
but are nut. We are simpl.r thc
serf and slaves of those great
monstrosities , thc retail catalogue

financial lh.cs.
III put it strongl ) because I
hope to awaken YOU to the realization -
ization of the slavcrv you so
-
voluutarily accept -scemingly
enjoy.
" 1 do not claim to be an.y
ditTerent or better thall the rcst
of JOU in this respect , but I
would like to join my fellow
farmers in throwing ofT the thral-
dom which now exists.

of havll1g my family Sltt1l1g up
nights and devoitng Sundays to
shopping by mail and buying
man ) ' things which arc not
necessary for their happiness or
comfort , simpl ) because a bargain
counter is constantly spread
before them.
"I believe we should build up
our own home merchants to give
us a good market for our products
by standing by them. We can
buy all we need , and on the
average as cheaply by doing
our business at. home , and thus
make a better market fur our
products.
"How can we expet : the
country stores to thrive and grow
if we as farmers refuse to trade

not interest or help us in the ,
