March and April. The general land office has sus tained the action of the local office in rejecting the iinal proofs sub mitted by Abbie Murphy , of Rock county. The federal land office has sus tained the action of the local office in rejecting the final proof sub mitted by Carl S. Kiehl of Cherry county.

Sharon 80 acres in Key a Paha county ; Winfield S. Arter 40 acres , John P. Lackstaff 40 acres , Gus- tav Dinke SO acres in Rock county Josephine Hoy1480 acres , William C. Shittuck 120 acres , Charles Larsen 1GO acres William D. Bachelor 120 acres , Frank G. Bura 160 acres , Walter C. Lyon 40 acres , Elmer L Burr 80 acres Cherry county. The preparing of an application for sale is rather a technical mat ter , as the general land office is very particular in scanning such applications when they are passed upon , and persons who wish to make such applications should have them drawn and sworn to be fore _ . some . person . who is skilled inv " ' ' - v "I'i such matters. Applications' pre pared before notaries public n the country are almost invaribly faulty , and have to be returned for correction , and often new ones prepared , thus causing useless ex pense and delay to thp parties.
