The Information hero presented will bo luvaluablo to those who in tend seeking homes In Oklahoma. ftllVT TUB LAW PltOVIIIKS.

That the land acquired by conveyance from tbn Scmlnolc Indians hercundur , ex cept the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections shall bo disposed of to actual settlers under ttio homestead laws only , except as herein otherwise pi ovldcd ( cxcopt that section two thousand thrco hundred and ono of the re vised statutes shall not apply ) : And pro vided further , That any person who having attempted to , but for any cause , failed to Bcciiru u title in fee to n homestead under existing law , or who made entry under what Is known us the commuted provision of the homestead law , shall bo quallflod to make a Iiomcstoad entry upon said lauda : And pro vided further , That the rights of honorably discharged union soldiers and sailors In the late civil war as dollned and described In sections twenty-three hundred and four and twenty-three hundred nnd live of the re vised statutes shall notbo abridged : ONC-QUAUTBlt SUCTION UA01I. And provided fuithcr , That each entry shall bo in nquaro form as nearly as practic able , and no person ho permitted to enter niora than one-quarter section thereof , but until said lands tire open for * settlement by proclamation of the president , no person shall bo permitted to enter upon and occupy the same , and no person violating this proVision - Vision shall over bo permitted to enter any Of said lands or acquire any right thereto. ' 1 lie secretary of the interior may , uftor said proclamation and not before , permit ( sntry of said lands for town sites , under sec tions twenty-three hundred and eighty-seven nnd twcnty-throo hundred and eighty-eight of the revised statutes , but no such entry Blmll ombrueo moro than one-half section of land. land.That That nil the foregoing provisions with rof- Orenco.lo lands to ho acquired from the SemInole - Inolo Indians Including the provisions por- ininlng to forfclturo shall apply to and regulate - late the disposal of the lands acquired from the Muscogcu or Creek Indians by articles of Cession nnd agreement made and concluded &t the city of Washington on lha nineteenth day of January in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and olchty-nino. Under the act , actual settlers can secure bomcs and farms In Oklahoma. THE I'ltOCEDUJIK NECRSSiRY to secure homesteads under this laxv must bo ascertained from the rules and regulations of the general land oQIce , prescribed to give force and effect to the general homestead law of ISO'- ! , and from the essential requisites and directions laid down by the homestead laws referred toby section 18 , above quoted. * The original homestead law confers the | lomostcad right on "every person who Is at the head of a family , or who has arrived at the ago of twenty-one years and is a citizen Of the United States , or who has Hied his declaration of Intention to become such , as required by the naturalization laws. " Section IB. under consideration , provides thut the right of honorably discharged Union soldiers nnd sailors In tha late civil war , us defined nnd described In sections 2301 nnd JJJiOj of the revised statutes , shall not bo abridged. These sections nro here given , thut these rights and privileges may bo clear ly appreciated and the law understood : wmiii : THE SOI/IHKUS COME IN. Section 2304. Every private soldier and ofllcer who has served In the army of the United States during the recent rebellion for pluety days , nnd who was honorably dis charged and has remained loyal to thu gov ernment. Including the troops mustered Into the service of.the United States by virtue of the third section of an act approved fobru- nry ID , 1S03 , nnd every seaman , marine , and pftlcor who has served In the navy of the United States , or in the marine corps during the rebellion for ninety days , and who was Honorably discharged and has remained loyal to the government , shall , on compliance with the provisions of this chapter , as hereinafter modified , bo entitled to enter upon and receive patents for a quantity of public lands not exceeding ICO acres , or ono- quarter section , to bo taken in compact form , according to legal subdivision , Includ ing the alternate reserved sections of public land along the line of any railroad or other public work not otherwise reserved or ap propriated , and other lands subject to entry under the homestead laws of the United Btutes. Hut such homestead settler shall bo allowed six months after locating his homo- Bteud and Jlling his declaratory statement vrllhln which to make his entry nnd com- inenco his settlement and improvement. Section ' SO.r . The time- which the liomo- Btcad settler has served In the army , navy or m.irino corps shall bo deducted from the ttmo heretofore required to perfect title , or , If discharged on account of wounds re ceived or disability Incurred In the line of duty , then the term of enlistment shall bo inducted from the tlino heretofore required to perfect title , without reference to the length of time ho may have snrvod. 13ut no patent Blmll Issue to any homestead Bottler who has not i slded upon , impravnd and cul tivated his homustcad for u period of at least ono year after ho shall have comuinncod his improvements. Tin : poi.pir.its' AUDITIOXAI. . The advantages these sections present over the general homestead Jaw mo : 1 , The privilege of tiling n declaration with thn register and receiver which will hold a tr.ict selected in person or by an n guilt , for six months , without entry , resldenco , or cultiva tion. It has been held by thu secretary Of the Interior that the soldier must make bis entry and establish his residence within the six months from the date of his flcchirutlon papers. 3. The right of making final proof before the end of the usual llvo years' ' residence , at least onu year's actual unna lldoiosldcnco and cultivation of the iinmeMctul U required of soldiers nnd sailors. U'ho soldiers' additional homestead lav ; gives the right to enter HO much land as will make 100 acres , where an entry for a less quantity \vas inudo prior to Juno ! M , 1871 ; but con- prom has recently exloi.dud the benefit of this act to every homesteader without regard to date of original entry. ' No land scrip of auy kind can bo issued in Oklahoma. Thu widow of a soldier , if unmarried , erIn In case of hur death or marriage , hi * minor orphan children become * entitled to his rights and benefits under tlio homestead law. To Buetira the uliilm they must strictly comply with the requirements of the law. TUB ACT , OITNINII OKI.U1UMA to nottlenient further provides : That any person who having attempted to , but for ony cuusa failed to secure u tltlo lu fee to n bomostoiid under existing laws , or who made entry under what is known as the commuted provision of the homestead law , shall bo qualified to make u homestead entry upon nald lands. This Is ono of the most Import ant uliiiioca of the entire net , for It brings the Ijniiost sooliiu- after a homo In Oklahoma In direct conflict and competition .with the professional land shark , and confer * unde served credit upon this latter olim. U says to Ar 11. that if you have made an entry un der the homestead law , mid suld your relin- quUhmont for uny sum of money , you maj fake another claim in Oklahoma , or if you abandoned your entry and it was cancelled under an honoot contest , you may likewise Iiivo the privilege of selling or leaving another - other claim there ; and ovou Ifjou have re oclvcd. under tha homestead law , 160 ncros of land , you may have the opportunity of do- Driving sotno man of a homo In Oklahoma , who has never yet received the slightest bon- oflt from the homestead laxv. The schooled observer finds himself unable to appreciate such generosity as that , at the hands of con gress , and till * action explains why there nro 60,000 claimants for the 10,000 quarter sections of land in the reservation. Under the homestead law n light to n claim is Inlatcd cither by settlement upon it or by entry for It made at the local land of fice. Tnr. r.sTiir OP TUB CLAIM In constructive notice to all the world that it lias been taken for a homestead and is no longer subject to entry , while an actual set tlement upon the land serves the same pur * | ) oso. Hut the settlement must bo jf such a character as to Identify the claimant with the land nnd impart nddl- tlonal value to It , The ontryman has six months , from data of his entry , to establish tils resilience on the land , while again , the actual settler must make his claim of record , [ > y entering the land , within ninety days from the date of his settlement. For Illus tration : Say that A U , and U I ) , on the ! J2r < l dav of April , enter the land office at Guthrto it the same tlino nnd present to the register their application for the northeast quarter of section six , township 100 , range sixty. What is to bo donol The applications nro simulta neous and the right of entry should bo sold to the highest bidder. If , however , there is any difference between the terms of the applications then the "llrst in time Is the first In right , " nnd first applicant will hold Lha land. But in the evening of that day. \vhllo A M Is making his entry at the land oftlcc , O 1) was making his sottlomant upon the land : now , when O D offers his entry papers ho is told by the register that the land lias already been entered by A 1) ) , and that ns two entries cannofbo made for the siimo claim , ho will have to reject his application. 3 D then alleges that ho segregated the land jy his settlement bcforo A U did so by his entry. Again In this case "tho llrst in time will bo THE FinST IN UIOIIT , " and the register nnd the re ceiver will have to order n hcnrinc that this issue of fact may bo legally and equitably decided. An aggrieved party has thirty days within which to appeal from the orders of registers and receivers and sixty days within which to appeal from the com missioner of the general hind ofllco to the secretary of the Interior. H Is perfectly evident that under the above circumstances , t would bo bettor for A. 13. nnd C. 1) . to ; ompromiso their honest differences by each taking half of the claim than to engage lu expensive litigation. This can bo done by , ho ontryman rellngulshhiij SO acres for the benefit of the actual settler , who , thereupon , makes his entry for the samo. Does the law require the continuous pros- : nco of the homesteader upon his land ) This s an important question for Imperative icccssity will require many settlers to leave .heir homes this summer to obtain the means with which to Improve their land nnd keep , ho wolf from their doors. Having once gene ipon the claim with the intent to muko It his lomo nnd having shown the intout by actually KSTAIir.ISIUNO A ItESinRS'Cli ON THE LAND .ho honest settler can leave it for the pur pose of making n living or to meet the axtgcnclcs of business life. Under iheso circumstances ho leaves with Lho Intent to return to the land nnd this intent makes it his homo. An nbscnco of six months , however , from Ills claim raises a presumption of abandon ment nnd the claim is subject to a contest for this cause. Hesldcnco cannot bo established and maintained by proxy. Meagre Improve ment and occasional visits to a , claim do not establish nor maintain a residence. One must take the land in good faith for a homo and for a farm and must occupy and must use It as such. This requirement of the law Is easy for nn honest farmer to comply with whllo the land-grabber llnds it exceedingly annoying and difllcult. There Is no provision in the act of congress under which town sites can bo legally located in Oklahoma and the sale of town lots to Innocent parties is a flagrant fraud. There Is no machinery In Oklahoma , nor will thcro bo until provided by congress , through which the town site section of the law can bo made to operate. The homesteader should know accurately the description of the claim on which ho settles ; that his pr.pors presented to the local land office are absolutely correct and then should be prepared , If necessary , to defend his rights before the general land ofllco and the secretary of the Interior. This is all that ho can do for himself and all that cau bo done for him. T. CHANGER STKN'AHT , M. D , , P. K. S. E. , ordinary physician to II.

The attendance at Mnnntror Ingram'a bench show yesterday was very largo , considering the weather , and of all the people ple who wcro there , it is safe to say not a slnglo person wont away dissatisfied , The display In rare nnd beautiful dogs surpasses anything of the kind over seen in this part of the country , nnd a half-hour spent there Is a half-hour profitably disposed of , Indeed. The arbiters wore appointed yesterday af ternoon , aud the dogs will bo Judged Friday , the last day , when the prlres will also h/t awarded. The attcndanca of Indies and children was very large , nnd it would bn difficult for thorn to find n more pleasant or interesting resort. Tncro are splendid specimens of dogs here of nil classes and strains , and the opportunity afforded to study their respective points and characteristics is u line ono. In the absence of n kennel club In Omaha , or oven a sporting contingent who cared to omb.trk In an cntcrprlso of this kind , Mr. Iiurram has taken the taste upon himself , and most admirably too ho has succeeded. To suppose that ho Is to do all this for the glory there is In It , Is idiotic. Ho Is the only man in the city who has sought to give an Impe tus to the breeding of fine dogs In Omaha , and in fact is about the only man thoroughly qualified to engineer such an undertaking , and the lovers of the genus cnnluo nro lib erally and properly attesting to their ap preciation by extending to him their liberal patronage.

The Omaha Motor company yesterday paid the city treasuier $2,470.82 , which amount , the city engineer estimates , was the original cost of the two blocks of pavinc on Sixteenth street on which the company asked a permit to extend its lines. The officers of the company express tfielr belief that a majority of the members of the council who voted for the ordinance did not fully understand its provisions when they did so , but thought that It applied alone to pavements that hud been laid less than n year. "It Is a great hardship on us , " said Chief Engineer Adams to u icporter. "and if wo were not so determined to complete our sys tem , it would cause us to suspend work on paved streets cntlicly , but as it is , wo will go ahead and comply with the ordinance , but under protest. It will necessitate the ex penditure of thousands of dollars In absolute cash , spot down , b.vus , whereas the property owners have ten years to muko tlio pay ments. If the consolidated compinlcs had succeeded in their attempts to secure u monopoly of the street railway business in Onialui , you would not have seen a foot of track laid on paved streets this year if that ordinance remained in effect. " Thu motor company will attempt to secure a repeal of the ordinance. Tho'Omaha Street railway company yes * terday morning applied for n permit to build on Vinton , thico blocks west from Sixteenth , evidently with u dcsiro to stop the motor company from pursuing its proposed route to South Omaha , but as the same company bus enjoined the board from Issuing the motor company a permit to build on these blocks , the board hold that it could grant n permit to no company whatever tote to build on the street in question , until the temporary injunction was either sustained or dissolved , us in thu latter ovctit the motor company , having iiled.Hs application first , would bo entitled to 1)19 ) permit. 1)1JI ) FOIl HIS LOVE. The Melancholy Termination of A YotiiiR Sinn's MCc. Daniel E. Ilohnn , n young man apparently about twenty-one years old , committed sui cide in Ewall's lodging house at 1107 Farnatu street , Ho came to Omaha last Monday from Cnrrol , la. , where his parents reside , nnd , according to n postal card found among some letters on his person , the deceased had ar ranged to go into business with Uoscoo M , Wlor , of 2. 0 North Sixteenth street. Tha supposition Is that Hohnii had boon disappointed In love , and so brooded over the matter that death was decided upon to afford him relief. Tuesday D. O'Neill ' , a friend of Itohan's , arrived here , nnd slept with him Tuesday night. Both nroso bntwecu 0 and 7 o'clock In the morning , dressed nnd loft the room together. O'Neill ' then went outdoors , nnd while lie was gene Kolian wont back to the room nnd shot himself In the head , Just be hind the right car , with n 33-c.illbro revolver. As soon ns tha report was hoard , everybody In the house rushed to the locality whunos the report came and , in Kalian's roomon the edge of the bed , they found the victim lying dead. Death must have resulted almost Instantly. Anparcntly , the sulcldo hnd seated hlmsolf on the bed , placed the weapon to his head , fired and fell over backward. Ho still grasped the revolver In his hand. A bundle of letters was found on the bed beside him. Ono of the missives was addressed to bis father and another to the police authorities , notifying thorn whcro to telegraph to apprise his folks ot the rash act. In this p.iukago was a postal card to WIer , saying ; " 1 can't become your partner as aereed. " Four or llvo sheets of letter paper wore discovered on which ho hnd commenced to wrlto to a girl whom ho addressed as "Dear Fneud Emma , " but could not nerve himself to do It. On another sheet wei a three or four lines to Thomas B. Hohan , saying : "I have given up my school nnd will rough it In the west. Settle my business as best you can. " The letter to the father was not opened , Coroner Drexel was notified of the affair Immediately , ordered thu removal of the body to his establishment , mid at 9 o'clock held an Inquest. The Jury returned a verdict to the effect tint the deceased had come to his death by a gunshot wound Inflicted by himself nnd with suicidal Intent. The suicide's father and brother have been telegraphed to and tire expected hero this cventm ; . John M , nnd T. B. Rohan , brothers of the miieldc , arrived In Omaha last night from Carroll , la. , In response to a telegram. Both are slopping nt the Mlllard. They stilted that their young brother hud been n school teacher and came to this city to teach in Rome educational Institution in or near Omaha. They said tlmt ho loft Carroll lust Saturday night nnd arrived here Sunday morning. He scoined to have been in good spirits when ho loft homo Neither of the brothers over know of him being in love. They claim that it was a fit of despondency. They thought ho was mentally deranged. His father icccivcd n letter from him Monday , saying that bo was going to end his lift ) . The brothers , when the communica tion was handed them , looked at each other aud simultaneously remarked , "D.ivo Is crazy. " The letter was very much discon nected , nud his sudden determination to Jump into the depths of the great unknown was at- tiibuted to the young man's loss of ro.isou. Young Hohun's body will not bo taken to Carroll , la. The remains will bo laid to rest this afternoon ut3 o'clock in Holy Sepulchre cemetery. The funeral will be private , nnd will take place from Drexel & Maul's under taking establishment. lIor.si'nrd'M Acid 1'liosphato. Beware of Imitations. AFTElt THE COUNCIL PAUOE. Mayor Broatcli Impresses Himself on Severn ! Subjects. Mayor Broatch was in an exceedingly good humor yesterday. Ho was relating tlio result of Tuesday night's council meeting- ono of his clerks when n reporter dropped In. "Yes , " said he , " 1 feel good. Victors have a richt to feel so. "I doa't fight and run away , " continued the mavor , as ho motioned the reporter to a seat , "that I may llvo to light some other day. I have stood my ground In this affair , and I Intend to continue doing so , I under stand that the saloon men and their friends In the council will try to got another similar ordinance through. Now , I think they arc foolish to continue these tactics. If they are not careful , 1 will enforce rcrtain strin gent laws that will bo rather severe on them. I can do it , and unless they behave themselves I will. I have tried to do what is fair and right in this matter , nnd I think I have a majority of the business men with me. "The councilmen who walked out of the meeting last night acted hlco a lot of school boys 1 It was dissracoful I "Hasnall 1 Hnscall 1 did you nslc me what I thought of HnscalH" and the mayor's mild blue eyes snapped viciously. "I think he's a low , contemptible cur ; unfit to wash the feet of a decent mnn. I know Hascall. "How silly was his conduct h\st night , " continued his honor after a pause , during which ho had cooled down considerably. "Sitting on the rail of the council chamber , defying the council. Leo was weak. If 1 hnd been wielding tlmt gavel I would have brought Hascall inyide that rail if I had to summon the entire polled force nnd break every bono in his body in doing so. The Bcrgeant-ut-arms , Butler , Is not lit for the place. Ho was in sympathy with Hascall through nil , and failed to do his duty , " and the mayor signified that the In terview was nt an end by taking up a paper cuttsr and attacking a pile of letters that lay before nitu. _ Tlio rosy freshness , and a velvety softness of tlio skin is invariably ob tained by those who use Pozzoni's Com plexion Powder.
