PROCEDURE T CHAMBERLAIN
ON AUGUST 28.
REGISTRATION CEASES JULY 23.
The Thousands of Names Will be
Placed in a Big Box and Drawn at
the Rate of a' Thousand a Day for
Three Days Others of Little Value
Much Interest IH shown In the de
tails of the plan by which the fortu
nate numbers In the Uosohud drawIng -
Ing will bo selected at Chamberlain ,
beginning with July 28. Hofore leav
ing lorVabhniHtoii ConunlHMuiu i
Ulchurds gave out the plan , which
has not heretofore boon available ,
even In land olllce circles.
It has been determined that 1,000
uanu's will be drawn a day for thn-i.1
da > s , after which the balance > t the
names in the box will bo drawn as
tapldly as possible , probably com
pleting the work on the llfih dny.
U each of the places of registration
every person who has their name en
rolled signs an Indetitlllcatioii blauU ,
v\hlch sets out the name , address ,
height , color and general appeal ance
of the person registering. These
blanks are Immediately sealed In a
small envelope about two by three
inches and deposited In a safe ivcep-
taclo. Heglstration ceases at all
the points of rr-glHtratlon on .lul > ut : ,
\\hcn the envelopes prepared at
Ynnkton , llone.steel and Falrtnx will
be forwarded to Chamberlain. Theno
with the Chamberlain batch will be
placed In a huge box , one milllclont-
ly large to hold them and leave space
in which they may be shaken up. A
number of openings will be provided ,
at each of which will bo stationed a
disinterested person , probably u boy ,
who in regular ratio will draw an
envelope from the opening. As each
envelope is drawn from the box the
clerks will keep a record of the
name and order of drawing. This
will bo continued .until 1,000 names
have been drawn out of the box each
of the first three days. This will dis
pose of li.OOO names , or an ample
equivalent lor the number of claims
In the Rosebud reservation subject
to entry. On the fourth day the drawIng -
Ing will he continued , but without re
striction until every name is drawn
from the box. The drawing in effect
merely takes all the names enrolled
and places them In numerical order ,
and the names so placed in order
will be called at the rate of 100 per
day to make tilings on the lands at
Moncsteol until all the lands are dis
posed of , filings beginning on August
S. While the numbers arranged at
the drawing will bo as extensive as
the number registered , there will be
no particular value attached to any
number over Ii.000 , or possibly 2r 00 ,
as by the time that number Is reach
ed the lands will In all probability
be exhausted , unless the holders of
earlier numbers should fall In very
large proportion to respond to their
names when called for filing.
It warms the heart like sunshine ,
cheers the soul like old wine , gives
hope for the future , blots out the past.

Weak Hearts
are caused by Indigestion. If you
eat a little too much , or if you are
subject to attacks of Indigestion , the
stomach expands swells , and puffs
up against the heart. This crowds
the heart and shortens the breath.
Rapid heart beats and heart disease
is the final result. Kodol Dyspepsia
