Have an Equal Show *
WASHINGTON , July 8. The proc
lamation of President McKinley , open
ing to settlement the lands ceded by
Indians in the territory of Oklahoma ,
was given to the public yesterday. The
proclamation covers the cessions
made by the Wichitas and affiliated
bands of Indians in accordance with
'tiHe act of March 2 , 1895 , and those
made by the Comanche , Kiowa and
Apache tribes in pursuance of the act
of June 6 , 1900.
The proclamation provides for the
opening of the lands in these reserva
tions which are not reserved at 9
o'clock a. m. , on the 6th of August
next , the lands to be open to settle
ment under the homestead and town-
site laws of the United States.
The proclamation says that begin
ning on the 10th inst. and ending on
the 26th those who wish to make en
try of land under the homestead law
shall be registered. The registration
will take place at the land offices at
Reno and Lawton. The registration at
each office will be for both land dis
tricts.
To obtain registration the applicant
will be required to show himself duly
qualified to make homestead entry of
these lands tinder existing laws arid
to give the registering officer such
appropriate matters of description and
identity as will protect the applicant
and the government against any at
tempted impersonation.
Registration cannot be effected
through the use of the mails or the
employment of an agent , excepting
that honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors may present their applications
through an agent , no agent being al
lowed to represent more than one
soldier. No person will be allowed to
register more than once. After being
registered the applicant will be given
certificates , allowing them to go upon
the ceded lands and examine them in
order to aid them in making an in'
telligent selection.
It is explicitly stated that "no one
will be permitted to make settlement
upon any of the lands in advance of
the opening provided for , " and the
statement is added tnat "during the
first sixty days following said opening
no one but registered applicants will
be permitted to make homestead set
tlement upon any of said lands , and
then only in pursuance of a homestead
entry duly allowed by the local land
officers or of a soldier's declaratory
statement duly accepted by such of
ficers. " |
The order of the applications is to j
be determined by drawing , the plan I
for which is fully described.

Cheyenne Capitalists Propose to Kepair
and Extend Ditch.
DOUGLAS , Wyo. , 9Tuly S. Governor
Do Forest Richards and Dr. J. M. Wil
son , who are interested in having the
old Fetterman canal placed in opera
tion , paid a visit to the canal. After
making a careful investigation they
say they believe § 10,000 will make the
needed extension and repairs and place
the canal in working order.
Upwards of 5,000 acres of fertile
land lie under the canal , and it is pro
posed to seed the tract to alfalfa and
feed the lambs raised in this section.
It is estimated that a profitable feed
ing business can be established ant1
steps will be taken at once looking to
the completion of the rana ! . Local
capital is back of the proposition.
JAMES E. YEATMAN DEAD.
St. Louis Philanthropist Hrcathes His
Ivist.
ST. LOUIS , Mo. , July 8. James E.
Yeatman , the well known philanthro
pist and one of the most respected cit
izens of St. Louis , died yesterday , aged
84 , from the effects of uraemia , for
which he was operated on nearly two
week' ; age.
James E. Yeatman was born Auugst
27 , 1818 , in Belford county , Tenn. , and
came to this city in 1842. For several
years he was in the iron business , but
in 1850 entered the commission busi
ness. That same year he founded the
Merchants bank , which afterwards be
came the Merchants National bank.
Coal Transporters Combine.
PHILADELPHIA , July S. The
North American today will publish a
story to the effect that the entire
coal transportation east of the Mis
sissippi river will be divided amona
the railroads controlled by the Penn
sylvania , the Vauderbilts zmd the

and the Vanderbilt lines will carry all
the coal produced in the bituminous
regions , while the Morgan roads will
control the entire anthracite output.
TO BRAND DAIRY GOODS.
Dncle Sam Will Inspect Ilutter and Sim
liar Products for Export.
WASHINGTON , July 8 The agri
cultural appropriation act for the cur
dent fiscal year authorizes the secre
tary of agriculture in his discretion to
apply the law for the inspection and
branding of live cattle and products to
dairy products intended for exporta
tion , the purpose being to enable Amer
ican exporters of dairy products to giv
foreign buyers the assurance of cer
tification by the government of the
United States of the purity , quality and
grade of dairy products.
Secretary Wilson has decided to ex
ercise the authority conferred on him
by establishing in the customs districts
of Boston , New York , Chicago and San
Francisco a system of inspection of
dairy products and have experts in
those departments gather information
by means of which regulations may be
drafted.
A beginning will be made in a smal !
way , with a view of bringing about a
practical and honest system by which
all parties may be properly protected
It is stated at the department that it is
probable that at an early date the
owners or shippers of products for ex
port may , upon application , have the
goods marked and certified as to pur
ity and quality , provided they are
above the minimum grade.
ELECTORAL LAW TOR CUBA.
Constitutional Convention Considers It
Idle to Druft Ideas.
HAVANA , July S. The Cuban con
stitutional convention has not arrive.l
at an understanding regarding the elec
toral law. Several meetings were neld
last week , but little interest was man
ifested in the proceedings , many of
the delegates being absent. The con
servatives are hopeless with respect
to the rescinding of the universal suf
frage clause and are endeavoring to
secure a plural vote for property hold
ers and for professional and business
men. In this they are strongly op
posed by the radicals.
An objection has recently bcei
raised against drawing up the elec
toral law until the -United States gov
ernment has approved the constitu
tion , the argument being that it wouM
be useless to draft laws based on the
constitution if Washington is going to
make changes in this instrument.
ATTENDANCE STiLL TOO SMALL
Unless It Increases Buffalo Exposition
Will Not Pay.
BUFFALO , N. Y. , July S. The total
attendance to date at the Pan-Ameri
can exposition is 1,719,768 The ex
position attendance began on May 20 ,
but at that time many features were
incomplete and the people remained
away. The average daily attendance
for June , including five Sundays , was
over 31,000. The excessively hot
weather during the last two weeks
has had a deterrent influence on the
attendance , notwithstanding Buffalo is
rated as "the coolest city" by several
degrees on account of the breezes from
Lake Erie. It is believed that July
and August will easily bring the total
to above 5,000,000 , and it will remain
for September and October to bring
the remainder of 10,000,000 , at which
the status of guesses is set.
BOERS ACCUSED OP ATROCITY.
Said to Have Put "Wounded to Death in
Hattle.
LONDON , July S. The Daily Mail
gives sensational prominence to mail
advices from Vlakfontein. which at
tribute to the Boers inhuman atroci
ties that the censor would not allow
to be described by cable.
"A couple of Boers , " says the
Daily Mail's correspondent , "who were
armed with Martinis , walked around
among the dead and dying. Some they
turned over to see if they were dead.
If it were otherwise then one or the
other of the Boers shot them as you
would an ox. I saw four killed in this
way. One youngster pleaded for his
life. I heard him say : ' "O , Christ ,
don't/ and then bang went the rifle. "

Meeting of Socialists.
LINCOLN , Neb. , July S. As the
laws of Nebraska require the attend
ance of 200 delegates and the repre
sentation of two-thirds of the countie ;
to give a nomination convention a
legal standing the attempt of the so
cialists to put a state ticket in the
field was a failure.
Less than fifty delegates responded
to the call for a mass convention of
the socialists at Washington hall , and
there were only two counties repre
sented. It was necessary therefore U
forego the formality of nominating
for supreme judge and State univer
sity regents.
The small attendance , however , di.'i
not prevent election of convention of
ficers , the adoption of a platform and
the delivery of several speeches. Geo.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotation * from South Omntia

SOUTH OMAHA.
Cuttle There was ti light supply of cat-
lie In the yards anil as pnskers were lib
eral buyers of the better grades the mar
ket took on more life than for some time
past. The market eould not be cuioted
much higher , but an early clearance was
effected and the prices paid were gener
ally very satisfactory. Buyers started
out early In the morning and bought up
the better grades of beef steers at steady
to strong prices , as compared with yes
terday. They seemed to want the cattle
today , and as there were only a few of
fered sellers took advantage of the oppor
tunity to push values up a little. The
situation , however. Is best described by
calling it ii good , steady to strong mar
ket. The commoner grades , of course , did
not move as freely as did the choice
heavyweights , but still they brought fully
as much as was paid for the same grades
yesterday. There were only si few cows
and heifers on sale and most of those
that were offered were grasscrs of rather
an Inferior quality. There was not enough
change in the prices paid from those In
force yesterday to be worthy of mention ,
so that the market can be quoted prac
tically steady. Bulls , calves and stags
also sold in just about the same notches
they did yesterday.
Hogs There was the heaviest run of
hogs that has been on the market for
some time past , there being close to 200
cars on sale. Other markets were quoted
considerably lower , and as a result prices
here dropped about 7&e ! as compared with
yesterday's general market. The bulk of
the early sales went at ? . " > .73. with th ?
choicer loads going at $ > . l\'s \ and $ . " > .SO.

SANTA FE CUTS DEEP.
Fires First Gun of Open War on Secret
Freight Hate deductions.
CHICAGO , July 6. A rate fight ot
liberal proportions is on among the
trunk lines operating between Chicago
cage and Missouri river centers. For
several weeks there has been wide
spread , though secret manipulations ,
ot" rates on all classes of freight in
this territory , but there had been no
open rupture between any of the roads
until today.
When it became current that peace
could not be restored except by some
drastic action officers of several of the
roads began to plan open reductions
in tariffs. The Santa Fe was the first
to act and today came out with an
announcement that it would put in a
scale of rates effective July 16 between
this city and southwestern Missouri
river points that would awake the se
cret rate cutters to a realization of
the situation.
The rates promulgated by the Santa
Fe average reductions of from 30 to
40 and in some cases 50 per cent be
low the printed tariffs. It is believed
that the action of the Santa Fe will
be followed by similar announcements
and that it will bring the longstanding
ing secret cuts to a head and force
t
the lines out of the pool to become
t
members.

Xebrimku Mutter * .
LINCOLN , July 6. A plan for Ir
rigating on a colossal scale a long
strip of land north of the Platte river
In Scotts Bluffs and Cheyenne coun
ties has been brought to the attention
of State Engineer Dobson and a com
mittee of citizens residing in Scotts
Bluff county is searching anxiouslv
for capital with which to back the
scheme. The territory through which
it is proposed to run the principal
canal has been organized Into an irri
gation district and § 400,000 of bonds
have been voted for the purpose of
raising funds to complete the work
already begun.
"It is undoubtedly tlie biggest irri
gating scheme ever attempted in the/
state , " said Mr. Dobson. "The people
who are pushing it started their work
quite a while ago and they have con
structed already a canal of upwards
of twenty miles in length , extending
from a point on the Platte river , very
near the Colorado line , eastward ami
about parallel with the river. They
say they have invested approximately
§ 100,000 in this canal and it is esti
mated that § 400,000 will be required
to complete it. "
The district included in the plarr
would be the owner of the canal. The
residents of the territory have votecf
the bonds , and if these can be disposed
of for cash the work will be pushed.
Completed , the canal would be about
fifty or sixty miles in length. It
would follow closely the banks of the
river for a mile or so and then east
for the remainder of the distance.
THE NEW GAME LAW.
Depnty "Wardii DOCK Xot Anticipate
Trnulile in Knforciiifr Same.
LINCOLN , July 6. George B. Simp-
kins , deputy game warden , said tlrir
he did not anticipate any serious diffi
culty in enforcing the game law whir-h
was passed by the last legislature
The law went into effect July 2 an.I
the deputy and under deputies are al
ready on the lookout for violations ,
but do not expect to find many.
"The railroad , express and trans
portation companies have assured m
that they will abide by the provisions
of the act , and this is a long step in
the right direction , " said Mr. Simp-
kins. "Everywhere people seem to
think that the law is a good one , and
I don't think there will be many efforts
made to break it. "
The office of the game warden wa- !
opened at the state house. Mr. Simp-
kin ? will have full charge of the de
partment and will probably devot
considerable of his time to direftin ?
the movements of the under deputies
from the office at the state house , but-
he will be in the field a good shar <
of the time.
