Land Entries Snspcnded.
. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 5. The
interior department has suspended with
a view of cancellation a large number
of alleged fraudulent land entries in
Nebraska , made by soldiers' widows ,
who it is ohm god have entered into an
agreement for the transfer of the land ?
to cattle companies W. N. Lesser ol
Iowa , a special agent , whose headquart
ers have been fot several years at North
Platte , Ntb. , lias been suspended iu
connection with thoe proceedings ,
Tho action follows an investig tion
that had been quietly conducted in Neb
raska by Col. John S. Mosby , a special
agent of the general land olfice.
The exact extent of these operations
is not disclosed , but so far as known
there is 45 or 50 of them , each entrj
being1 for 1GO acres. Tim goverauieui
recently has been enforcing its regula
tions for the removal of fences erected
by cattlemen on public lands. Undei
the laws , soldiers' widows .have a rif-ht
to make entries of public lands without
any residence requirements , but the\
are required to make improvements and
cultivate the laudIt is understood
that the women who made the entries
are mostly Chicago people who were
iniluenced to take these steps by the
agents of the cattle men , with an agren
ment totransfer the land later by leas
es , with the right to purchase.
It is reported that Colonel Mosby will
return to Alliance in the near future
and it is predicted that the Alliance ed
itors who lambesU ) him after his de
parturo will be seeking shelter hen

Straw Covered Cushions.
Delightfully cool looking cush
ions or pillows , whichever one may
wish to call them , come witha
covering of softly plaited straw , the
filling being some sort of imported
grass dried to a feathery lightness.
Various color combinations are
seen in the straw , but a soft green
and white plai'd effect is prettiest
of them all. For filling out the
angles of the average summer piazza
chair a cushion of this kind can
scarcely be said to have a rival.
A Flour Can.
An ingenious convenience for
household use is a flour can which
has just made its appearance. It is ,
large enough to hold a bag of flour
and is equipped with a sifting de
vice operated by a crank so that the
contents come out sifted , ready for
use , and may be taken by the cup
ful if so desired. The receptacle
resembles an inverted milk can , but
is labeled ' 'Flour , " so that there need
be no mistaking about its use.
Followed the Tracks.
A tailor in Carthage , northern
Africa , hit upon a novel advertising
scheme. He had painted a series of
immense boot tracks from each side
of a city park , both series terminat
ing at his well stocked store. Every
body was anxious to see where the
tracks led and followed them to the
tore thus ingeniously advertised.

The Ship Subsidy Steal.
Senator Hanna has given out the
pleasing information that the ship sub
sidy steal is dcnd. This important tip
may be.true and may be but a ruse to
help his friends Fairbanks and Bever-
idge , who voted' for it. The former
being a candidate for re-election is
having a good many uncomfortable
questions put to him about his support
of the greatest steal of latter day leg
islation.
