qulries to to what may he done with
the brick buildings at the fori, so aa
to put them la habitable coaditkm.
While the matter ia still ia the air,
samcent is known, however, of the
plans of the war department So far as
the establishment of the slgaal corps
at Fort Omaha ia concerned nothing
will be done until after July 1, when
the new appropriation for the army be
comes available. Immediately after
that date the brick administration
building will be put fa condition for
occupancy by a company of the sig
nal corps, with mess hall and a hos
pital fitted probably with a dozen
beds. The commandants house, which
was built by General Crook, will also
be put in repair for the occupancy
of the commandant while the other
brick buildings will be used for stor
age purposes.
It is probable General Chaffee wUl
set aside for the rehabilitation of Fort
Omaha $20,000. to be spent daring the
summer, so that a compaay of the
signal corps may occupy the fort hi

Richards is not giving the least atten

against the proposed action of the de

tion, but he has had called to his at
tention through marked copies of
newspapers published in the vicinity
of Chamberlain hints that the tempo
rary transfer of the land office from
Chamberlain to Bonesteel would be ex
tremely distasteful to residents of that
city.
"However said Commissioner Rich
ards, "I will proceed upon the lines
I have mapped out as to the opening
of the Rosebud country.
"During the early rush the land of
fices will be located at Bonesteel.
After the rush is over the land of
fices will be returned to Chamberlain,
but it is my confident belief that the
best Interests of all concerned will be
best conserved by establishing a tem
porary land office at Bonesteel, and I
shall adhere to this program."

WASHINGTON Secretary Hitch
cock, appreciating the aecessity of
aaaslag upon certain features of the
Kashnid bill throwing opea the aorta
west section of Nebraska for setM
meat under the ameaded homestead
laws, has turned over to the geologi
eal survey for report that portion of
the provisions of the bill whereta car
taia leads which, ia the opialoa of the
secretary of the interior, may be rea
sonably practicable of Irrigation, are
exempt from Its provisions. The di
rector of the survey, Prof. Wolcott,
has commissioned two of his corps to
look over the ground prior to the
date when the bill goes Into effect
June 28. The Kinkaid bill provides
that the secretary of the interior
ahalL after examination, exempt from
the provisions of the law those lands
that may be reasonably practicable to
Irrigate by means of water conducted
from aatural streams by gravity, and
the secretary shall, prior to the date
when the law goes Into effect desig
nate aad exclude from entry lands,
particularly along the North Platte
river, which, In his opinion, It may
be possible to irrigate through op
eratioas under the national irrigation
hjtw- or by. private enterprise. , The
law farther states that the secretary
thereafter shall from time to time
open to entry under the act any of
the lands ao excluded, which upon
further investigation he may conclude
cannot be practically irrigrated'in the
manner as above set forth. Two
members of the engineer corps of the
geological survey are now in the sec
tion incladed within the limits of the
Kinkaid bill looking over the terri
tory for the purpose f f deciding upon
the lands susceptible of irrigation,
and their instructions sre to make as

Ideals of civic duty are an Inspiration,
iita exaction from public officials of
strict compliance with law and honor
commands our highest respect His
punishment of public .delinquents has
our unqualified approval. His fearless
enforcement of the statutes agalast -legal
combinations In restraint oi
trade and commerce without unneces
sary alarm to capital has demonstrat
ed the efficlency'of republican law and
the honest purpose of the republican
party.'

cially the Nebraska members who ren
aered such valuable service, for the

has enacted a new. revenue law. It
was framed to distribute the public
burden with 'exact' and even Justice
We .pledge the party to a correction
of such inequalities as may be dls
closed and to the assessment of all
property, corporate and private, at its
full value according to law, so that all
property shall .have its equal share
of 'taxation, .-.We favor the raising
only of such revenue as Is needed tc
meet current expenses of the state

omy and for a gradual extinguishment
of the public debt.

pies we invite the support of persons
