The Trlpp County Opening.

< if the MOO lucky ones will follow up
tUi'ir good fortune and actually IIlo on
the land which the goddess of chance
has given them opportunity to secure.
Tills will be because many of tin
resist rat loim have been made care
lessly , without full understanding of
the conditions which must be ful-
tilled to necnro the land. Some appli
cants Will be discouraged by "the
looks of the land , " others hy the
somewhat rigid residence require
inelitH , and others by the necessity ol
paying $ ( > an aero in cash before title
can bo secured. Drawing again upon
I ho original Kouobud experience , it
may bo said that tlto lucky ones who I
fail to follow up their luck will be
making a mistake.
The fact is that , practically all ol

tliau the consideration the homowt ck"t

tainty that the reservation lands will
be quickly taken by UonalUl" liome
builders. Knilroad facilities will lie
forthcoming as the > tire needed. Town-
Mites are already mapped out. Within
a very short period of years this line
area of farming land will In : as thick
ly settled as ( he older agricultural
communities of the state , and will en
joy ull the advantages they now en
joy. With the close settlement will
come an increase in land values that
will make the price paid for the land
look like a mere bagatelle. Tills U

The Gambling Places.
Walking along the street I conceived

paper man's \iew of the gambling oh
tabllshment in a place called lira ?
aol's saloon. It was run quite oponl.
on the ground floor.
In the front liulf of the room a lm >
was doing a thriving business , am
In Mm rear half play was going op
There wore two ronleiie wheels , oiu
faro table , one table for Kind pokei
one for craps and one bird cage diet
game. ICach table was in charge of i
keeper. The proprietor was out ol
town , I was told , but 1 met the man
ager. a man with an aristocratic
name.
I told him 1 was a Dispatch man
and lie was very eoiirteouB , but not
KUshiiiB nor tedious. The poker same
( the most hideous of human amuse
montst was the most popular , it
seemed.
Oddly , enough the place was not
noisy , although blbulation generally
invites to elnmor. The place rUus

may bo more clamorous at midnight

"Yes , a good deal too much. "
Liked the Man's Looks.
Well , Mint was all , except Unit I
lilted the man's looks. If I had boon
admitted to the deacon's orders , I
think I idiould have said ( hut un
spoken ) something like this :
"Oil , holy church , Miy scat

not keep them ; and losing
them , canst ( lion not recover

Viewing the Reservation.
Hut this is wandering far from Dal

Automobiles , one and two-horse rigs ,
line Mio street early , soliciting cus
tomers who may wish to ride out on
the reservation , which begins near the

Where the Landseekers Come From.
I have felt some Interest in tlu
-itatos which have furnished this great
army of applicants. A stranger who
felt cocksure on this proposition , gave
tills order of states : Iowa. Missouri ,
Illinois , Nebraska.
Judge Wilton's idea of the order in
.his . regard is as follows : Iowa , No
brasku , Missouri , Kansas , Illinois , Min
nesota , Wisconsin.
The far west furnishes but few
because they have already "home
leaded" anil may not do M > a second
' .me. Among the applicants was a
4roup of 100 from 11 county in Mis
iotirl , and Hoone county , Iowa , has
.sent many.
Three Days' Drawing.
Judge Wilton , superintendent and
nanagor of the affair , says the draw
ing will probably occupy throe days ,
loglnnlng Monday morning. It must
jo finished within thai time.
There will lie a touch of the dm
.nalic in drawing the first lee envoi
opes , for two little girls will draw
Jiem. Those little girls are each sl > .
oars old. One Is the daughter of tlu
uayor of the city , and the Wngnoi
lilld is the niece of former ( lovornoi
lacksou of Iowa , and both live hero.
The reason for drawing 0,000 mini
iocs for 1,0(10 ( claims is lhal experi
nee in other drawings shows that
liiny who are successful will drop
nit , something like ,000.
Many Will Be Dissatisfied.
There will lie many who will be dis-
alislied with their numbers , and who
-ill not pursue the investment fur
i her , There are no doubt many appll
ants who are not genuine settlers
ind those will drop out if not well u\ \
a the list.
There1 is no noeossily whatever foi
i man to bo present at tin1 drawing
'f he draws a number the governinon
.vill send him a printed post card noli
( ication , followed by a more formal
lotlco containing rules and rogiila-
'ions ' for further use. This will lie fol
'owed ' by ii I hi nl notice of the Mini' ,

His claim.
Filings Come in March.
The filing will commence at MUIU
late in March , and will continue null' '
ompleted. On the llrst day of Illiiij-
fifly numbers will ho handled , on tlu
second lifty , then seventy-live mini
bers , and so on up to 100 numbers !
.lay. or perhaps more. The oxplanu-
Jon of ( lie increasing ratio Is thai MM
drawers will begin to drop oft and
Jrop out. The tiling may continue foi
.lireo months.
The claimant will , therefore , be no
tilled of Mio very day and hour wlioii
he must be present and make ills 111
Ing. If he Is not present on that da }
he will he dropped without an } re
course whatever.
Prices of the Land.
The staloment lhal the government
will exact payments equal to $ ( j ai
acre calls for some explanation
Claims filed on within throe months
nfler Hie opening of the llllng period
must bo paid for at the rate of $ U ai
acre ; within six mouths , $ l. , ' > o. and
inter $ J.0. Tills scale of prices will
correspond in a measure with the
value of die land.
The present reservation opening In
Trlpp is a mere beginning apparently
to the gradual opening of the vast
Pine Ridge agency lands slreli lilu.1 ;
far to the west. The area now opened
is a mere bagatelle in comparison
with the imperial domain of I'lue
ridge.
Town Sites.
The location of town sites lu the
ami aliout to be opened to white set-
.lers is of very great consequence to
he homesteaders. The government
will locate these town sites and offer
he lots at public auction , and the set
tler who owns his quarter near a town
dlte will ilnd his holding appreciated
n value from the proximit } .

co in puny which will | > la > In "Tho
Devil" lu Norfolk on October lfl ! , has
entered on Ha third week lu the No
iirnskn metropolis. The play was com-
motileil on as follows by the Siunhi.v
papers :
The Omaha Uee nnld : The Hurwood
theater maiiuKoiiictit Is undertaking to
establish a new record for things Iho-
ntrlcnl In Omaha by running a phiy for
the third consecutive week. That
doesn't sound very big in these days
of long runs , when plays have been
known lo fill theaters In the larger
pities for forty weeks on end without
n cessation of Interest. Hut those plays
are enacted In communities where the
daily change In population Is greater
limn ( lie entire number lu what may
lie referred to as the "Omaha district. "
To run a play Ihreo weeks in Omaha
moans Mint It Is either a romarkahl.v
it long play or I hat it Is being presented
lu a remarkably Impressive way , or
both. In ( ho case of "The Devil" It Is
probably both. The strength of the
Mania Is admitted ; it possesses a note
of peculiar and almost fascinating In
terest , and many have gone to see It
repeatedly for this reason. It Is also
being presented uncommonly well ,
even by an organization Mint has es
tablished Itself for good productions.
The company has naturally Improved
lu Its work as a result of repetition of
the play , and the performances given
H tile clciHO of the rocond week were
? xcollent. All that has been said in
ornlso of the individual work of Mr.
Ingraham and Miss Kllfott may bo in-
lorsed , while Mr. drew. Miss Iteyers
ind Miss Steams have been adding-a
jroat deal to the Interest of the per
formances. The attendance during lh <
u'cond week was uniformly larger than
liui'ing 'the llrst , and the promlt-o foi
the third week is Mint It will bo a suc
cess. The play will run until the Wai
Hold engagement drives the compan.
from home , and then It will bo lakei
; MI a visit to throe Nebraska towns.
The Omaha World Herald said
Word I hat "Tho Devil" is lo bo con
tinned for the third week at the Itm
wood does not come as a surprise. 1
Is the result of good work. No otho
stock company ever stationed It
Omaha lias such a record as is now ii
the possession of the present organ :
/.at ion.
Instead of Ihe blasphemous dram :
that so many expect the play is. ii
stead , a true representation of th
frailties of human nature , painted i
various colors by thai cunning Hun
gariau master of language , Foren
Molner.
The New York Tribune lias said tha
"The Devil" is a morality play of Mi
liighofl order. True , it is a play fo
worldly people.
For those who have not yet see
this wonderful stage story , be it knowi
that il is not all grow-some and clamm.
but , instead , tile performance is dove
npo'l ' in a vein of brilliant comedy
is delicately modulated at many point
and brings over the footlights a pow

William Mordon MartIs entitled to

the e-ensnro of the federal court , depending -
pending on Mio view of the victims of
money lenders or Harry J. Cnllen.
Ma IT , according to Cnllon's petition
before Judge Landis , Is ( ho only man
to contrive n successful moans of heal
ing the1 loan game. How successful
hi1 was al boating It Is suggested by
Ciillon in Mio above table of figures.
II is alleged that A ! a IT , who Is a
telegraph operator living at Califor
nia avenue and Thirty-fourth street ,
made a business tif borrowing all he-
could got and then taking advantage
of Mio federal bankruptcy act.
Nor did Marr's ingenuity cease hero.
Cnllen says lie had more original
Ideas up liis sleeve than a dog has
fleas. After he had boon uniformly
successful witli borrowing and bank
rupting he moved up a notch. He
went to Ills friends and told them he
had a good scheme for healing the
"sharks. " For a small fee he would
let thorn in on Ills system. Did he
stop there ? No. lie had another
need Idea. Ho went to the loan ar
tists and Informed them that a whole
lot of his friends wore going to take
advantage of Mio bankruptcy act , and
it would bo a good idea for them to
pay him ( Marr ) a salary to stay the
mad rush for the ; federal courts.

Saturday afternoon on the Norfolk

Nelighah outclassed in both the
'li-M huIf and the second , Norfolk
teoring eleven points in each.
Norfolk waa strong on both olTcn-
; ive and defensive work. Neligh could
leilher withstand Norfolk's plunges ,
solve the fake plays or advance the
> all when It
came into their posses-
ilon.
Admits Superior Class.
After the game Superintendent
Fisher of Neligh admitted that his
ievon had been outplayed. "I still
Milnk. however , " he said , "that leaving
"aptain Weaver out of Ilio name iii.-ii
N'ellgh is a match for Norfolk. "
Neligli played fully as hard a game r
against Norfolk as Madison did a
'ortnlght before and an interesting
'ame is expected when Madison and
N'eligli meet on November 7. Neligh
