HONDELL ON THE CAREY ACT
Argues that Under it Land Gobbling in
Wyoming is Impossible ,
GIVES SMALL SETTLERS THE ADVANTAGE
No Further National IrrlRntlon Legislation
to Ho Sought Boon Iletcnt Flurrjr
Jlni Helped the Oil Field !
l'e T WoriU on Silver.
"We shall have no special thing to seek
for Wyoming at the next session of con
gress , " said Hepresentallvo Frank W. Mon
dcll last evening at his room at the Paxton ,
"bul , of course , will endeavor to promole
western Interests so far as they may bo
promoted by national legislation. The sen-
alors and mygclf are perfeclly In accord
wllh the western poslllon regarding Ihe
money qucsllon , and will do all In our power
to bring about the bimetallism that existed
prior lo 1873. We Ihlnk the sliver fight Is
bound to win , but Just what may be accom
plished nzxt year Is conjectural. "
Mr. Mondcll shares the hope of other free
ellvcr rcpubllcinsi that the effort lo force
Iho nallonal party to espouse free silver will
be successful at the next convention. Ho
shares the opinion often expressed that un
less this can be done the republicans can
safely count on none of the western state1
In the next election.
"Is It considered desirable to secure furlhcr
nallonal legislation wllh respect to irriga
tion ? " was asked.
"We believe , " he replied , "that the Carey-
law Is good enough for the present , and I
think that no effort will bo made to get
anything more done In Ihe direction. "
Mr Mondell was asksd what truth there
was In the reports that private parties were
Keklng to take advantage of the Carey law
In attempting to get hold of large slices of
arid lands
WORKING Of THE CAREY LAW.
He Is Intensely Interested In the Irrigation
movement , and went at length Into the whole
question of arid land improvement In Wyo
ming. "It Is , " said he , "a big question and
a vitally Important one with us , because , save
for a few choice locations and tracts along
streams , Wyoming lamia cinnot be made cul
tivable except by extensive Irrigation enter
prises. Wo cannot hope to advance the agri
cultural Interests ot the state without the
aid of heavily capitalized companies In the
undertaking of Irrigation enterprises And
the question has been made a political ques
tion The republicans as a pirty worked for
the Carey law and the repeal of the old pre
emption law. The cry was th ° n raised by the
populists and a certain portion of the demo
crats that wo were trying to get mailers
fixed so lhat a few favored individuals and
companies could get hold of all the land In
the stale , leaving no chance for Ihe small
holdings and common settlers This conten
tion was coupled with the cattle Invasion
mntler The icpuliHcaiu were charged with
being In thorough sympUhy with the "in
vaders" In Una with their alleged policy ul
driving out small settlers. Thin was the
most talked of subject in the last campaign
FAVORS THE SMALL SETTLER.
Mr. Mondell then went on to explain why
the Carey law was favorable to the small
settler and to show lhat under It large gob
bles of land were Impossible An Irrigation
company makes a filing on lands. It expects
to cover , submitting mips and profiles ol
land1 ; , works and ditches , with statement ol
capacity and Investment. This passes under
the scrutiny of the state engineer , and tc
Ihe consideration of a stale board. If the
latter Is satisfied of the merit of the under
taking application Is made by the stale Ic
the government to have the land set aside
to the company , for purposes of Irrlgatlor
, only , the title paslsng to Ihe stale. II Is fur
( her provided that the land shall then bi
open to bona fide settlers , no one of whoit
can receive to exceed ICO acres They mtis
llvo on the land , and must Irrigate at leas
twenty acre * of It yearly. Ths national Jaw
has been supplemented by slate cnactmcni
requiring the tettlcr , who pays GO cents ni
aero for his In nil , lo purchase from the com
pany a Tvaler rlghl This is J15 per acre
and eight years Is given for payment. Ir
case ot default at the cud of that time tie
land may be told , but the company cannel
bid on H In excess of its claim , and one ycai
later any one paying the amount of 'hi
claim may take the land.
Tne compulsory purchase of water right , I
Is declared , l-s necessary to protect the Irrl
gallon company on Its Investment , and als <
lo furlhcr Iho occupancy of Ihe lands by Ihosi
who will cultivate them. Otherwise specula
tors might Hies on lands along the entire
length of a ditch , costing several liundrn
thousand dollars , refuse to buy water right
and hold Iho lands for speculation whlli
making the Investment for the time a deai
one.
IMPOSSIBLE TO GOBBLE.
Therefore Mr. Mondell says there can bi
no wholesale gobbling dono. Indeed , over ;
feature cf the provisions Is favorable to tin
email Bottler. He says , too , that there cm
bo no Inducement to the company to gobble
because Iho value of the lanj Itself Is In
significant compared with Iho value of th
water right , the relurn for which would b
imposslb'c In the case of a grab.
Besides tills , Irrigation companies are unde
a forfeit bond to the stata before being al
lowed to begin operations , and are obllgei
to take one Important risk. All lands cedet
and not settled at the end of. ton years rcvcr
to Iho government. They would then b
open lo settlement by parties who might pur
chase water rights or not , Just as they chose
and the company might 11ml its ditch runnln
through lands held simply for spcculalion.
Mr. Mondell says that It is the expecta
tlon that only a small part of the 1,000,00 )
acres will bo settled at the end of ten years
3o far only one company has been organize
to Irrigate , an I thai Is ono In which Paxtor
McShanc and other Omaha parties are In
terested.
Rega-ding Ihe effect of Iho recent hlg
prices In oil on the dcvulopmcnl of the o
fields In his Mate. Mr Mondell said that
had bee > n beneficial It has led to the form :
tlon of a company to operate around Caspe

but U Cnnglit.
Last night at 9 30 , while II. Rachmnn was
passing hli grocery itoro at 714 South Six
teenth street , on bis way home , he caw a
colored man Inside taking down cunt and Jan
from ono of- the shelves. Ilachman unlocked
the door , but the thief hurriedly disappeared
through the back part of the Hore. Officer
Stiles was called , but as Rachmnn told him
the burglar was In the cellar the latter had
plenty of time to escape through the back
window.
Rachman recognized the colored man as
E. II. Hayes , alias Ham , who was working
for him about Ihe store. He reporled this
fact to the stallon and Dclectlves Donahue
and Dempsey starled for him. They found
him at his home at Seventeenlh and Leaven-
worth Ftrcels , evldenlly cxpecllng Ihem , for
as soon as he sow them ho started up Leav-
enworth street at a pretty fast clip for a fat
man. He was captured and brought to the
station for burglary. He denied lhat he had
entered the store , but Ilachman positively
Identified him Entrance had been effected
through a window , a pane of which had been
cut above Die laUh.
Hayes has been In Jail befcro. About four
months ago he stole a quantity of furs from
a case In front ot Shugart's fur store , but
was caught by the proprietor before ho could
get away. He received a sentence In the
county Jail for this crime. He Is alto sus
pected of being the burglar who entered
Rachman's store some time ago and stole
$10 worth of goods
Hayes has been In the employ of Rachman
for several weeks , during which time the
latler has frequently given him food and
clothing.

remarked further that If he was It was right
Ihcr ? , and shied a brick al Ed. This was
more lhan Ed's spirit , logether with Ihe

ADDRESSED BY THE FOUNDER
Christian Endeavor Societies of Omaha
Listen to "Father Inleavorer" Clark ,
PACKED KOUNTZE MEMORIAL CHURCH
Immense ( Ircmth nnil Kniclency of the
Motcmrnt Duo to Vitality of 1'rliicl-
palaon Which It IR llnscd-Ita
Features.
Kountze Memorial church yesterday after
noon \vas crowded with members of the
Christian I"nJea\or societies of the city.
"Father Endeavorer" Olark of Boston Is on
his way to San Francisco for the purpose
of arranging to hold the annual Endeavor
convention two years hence , and stopped In
Omaha over the Sabbath. He spoke at the
church to the societies of Omaha ,
Upon the platform were seated Hevs.
ramblet , llavsley , Powell , Wnr , Turkic ,
Dyers , Duller and Wilson. Music was led
iy Prof Kratz , consisting of hjmns comment
t the Christian Endeavor meeting.
Dr. Clark was Introduced by Hev. T. E
Cramblet , and expressed his pleasure at mect-
ng the Christian Endeavor societies of Omaha
Ic visited Omaha twenty-six years ago , so ,
\\lille not the oldest citizen , still he Bald he
could claim to have seen this city long before
a large part of his audience. Then It was a
place of from 7,000 to 10,000 , white now the
population in this vicinity approaches 00,000
The reason for this remarkable ( jrowi'i ' h.is
not been because It "happened" to tal.e
place Just so the growth of the Christian
Endeavor movement , with Its 2,500uOO mem
bers , has not "happened" to attain the
trenRtli It possesses. When the K'dety
started It was thought by some cities that
t was the outcome of beardless enthusiasm ,
nut the movement has been proved to pos
sess a God-gUen vitality. Tor som reason
oil has a use for It , and It has attainpd a
phenomenal growth.
THRIVES IN ALL. CLIMES.
It Is not altogether an American product.
Dr. Clark used to think it was. But It has
proven a hardy plant and stands the cli
mates of Europe , Africa and Asia. There Is
something In the hearts of the young people
the world around which responds to the call
of God. The conventions which have been
held all over show this. Each of the states
and provinces of North America has Its con
ventions ; so , too , in Europe the same enthusi
asm is manifested Birmingham expects to
take care of 10,000 at Its comentlon this
year. The people of Boston expect to enter
tain 50,000 this summer at the convention
The city of Boston will be decorated from
ono end to the other in honor of the occasion
There is a vast significance , continued Mr.
Clark , In this general recognition of the
movement. It shows that the bible has not
lost its power. There is vast encouragement
for Christian work in these evidences of
growth and enthusiasm. It Is the religious
idea that brings these delegates together , and
not simply the social features , though these
arc recognized In their proper place by the
Endeavor society. The characteristic meet
ing of the con\ention the 0 o'clock morning
prayer meeting proves this.
This religious thought , or Idea , Dr. Clark
said , should predominate In every Christian
Endeavor society. The missionary Idea is a
splendid one and Christians should thank
God for what It has done , but even this can
not take the place of this Idea of religious
inspiration.
CIVIL DUTIES OF ENDEAVORERS.
Dr. Clark called attention to the duties of
Christian Endeavorers as cltl7ens. There Is
scarcely any city but calls for porno effort to
purify Its government. Ho had noticed
placards In Omaha announcing a bao ball
game for Sunday. Here was work for the
Christian Endeavorer.
The missionary spirit In the Christian En
deavor society bears witness to the fact that
the spirit animating the Endeavorers is a
willingness to go where Christ calls them to
go. In the various conventions young men
and women ore always found willing to con
secrate themselves to missionary work.
"Where do these lines of work and where
does this enthusiasm get its force ? " asked
the speaker. "It Is In the little societies and
their prayer meetings. There Is something
In their pledge , their covenant between God
and the Christian Endeavorer , which has
mode them a power. No matter what the
form of words Is , the fundamental Idea must
be carried out of having a pledge with God
to do some particular work for Him. "
Another of the attractive features of the
society Is Its" fellowship. The society Is
composed of all denominations. It stands on
a platform large and broad enough for all
kinds of common service for Jesus Christ.
Much ought to be made of this because It
promises much. It does not mean disloyalty
to one's church , but ajarger loyalty.

of the Douglas County Teacher's association ,
which Is called by Superintendent Hill to
meet next Saturday In Omaha. The ques
tion of revising iho course of sltidy pursued
In the public schools of this , county outside
of those of Omaha will come up for consider
ation. Superintendent Hill Is canvassing the
subject seriously nt present , and has Invited
alt the teachers of the public schools to
participate In the discussions. Us asks all
the teachers to come prepared with sugges
tions , as something , he says , will bo done In
this direction quite probably by the opening
of the fall term of school.
"Tho school syst3in In Douglas county , "
says Mr. Hill , "ocpuples a somewhat differ
ent position from that In any other county
In the stale. The stale superintendent has
mapped out a course of study that Is , ot
course , optional. It has called forth much
criticism , and will be changed at the meet
ing Ihls summer of Iho State Teachers' asso
elation But here In Douglas county It Is
deemed necessary to pursue a special course
of study which will especially fit tha gradu
ates from the eighth grade to step Into the
Omaha High school " As so many of the pu
pils of this county finish their course In this
way. It Is almost necessary , Mr. Hill Ihlnks
that this aim should be constantly kept In
view.
The two topics laid out for the discussion
Saturday embrace Ihls Idea. They are
"What our fcchools most need" and "The
Course of Study for the Counly. "
For Ihree years Douglas county has had
a graded school system In the country dis
tricts. Waterloo on May 17 will graduate-
Tour pupils from It" , schools. They passed
the county examinations. Plorenc ? and Hen
son have graduates who will take the exam
inations , and also several schools In tin-
west end of the county. The county super
intendent holds examinations this wc"k In
these schooK Some of the schools , notably
that at Waterloo , expecl lo make quite an
occasion of the day , and will Invite outside
speakers. "The result of the Introducllon of
the graded school system Into the country
schools , " Mr. Hill says , "Is quite remarkable
Pupils who flnUh the schools are as much
advanced as were the teachers of Douglas
county ten years ago. "
The annual examination of Douglas county-
teachers will be held this year earlier than
usual. Instead of following the. Institute , It
will be held before. June 19 , 20 and HI have
been set as the dates.
EDITOR MEDILI/3 COMMENT.
When lie Looked Over the llrllllniit Array
of Ills Ncwsp.lporVorkerB. .
The venerable Joseph Metllll , publisher of
the Chicago Tribune , and than whom no
wiser editor ever walked the quarterdeck of
a great dally , spends most of his time In
California , where he has divers and various
possessions of a fruit plantation sort. In his
absence the paper Is under the controlling
guidance of Managing Editor Van Benthuy-
sen. Among his other emphatic editorial
trails , Medlll has the one of frugality. He
likes not waste and extravagance. Recently
Medlll relumed lo Chicago on a brief visit ,
says the Washlnglon Star. The men on the
Tribune force , as told to a writer for the
Star , concluded , as an evidence of the re
spect and veneration which they felt for
their ripe , old chief , to give Medlll a recep
tion at the Newspaper club. Van Benthuypen
had the celebration most In command , anO
that night beneath the central chandelier he
stood with Medlll and inlroduced lo him the
Tribune young men , as one by one they filed
by and shook the old editor's hand.
"Do all of these splendid young men work
on the Tribune ? " asked Medlll In his simple ,
genuine way , as the sixty-seventh dress-
suited gentleman gave his hand a South
Clark street grip and passed on.
"They do , Mr. Medlll , " replied Van Ben-
Ihuysen proudly , "they do. And I can as
sure you , sir , that a better or more compe
tent set of newspaper men never look an
assignment In Chicago. "
"No doubt of It , " said Medlll , In a mus
ing , far-away tone , "no doubt of 11 , whal-
cver. I can see It In their faces. But 1 11
lell you , Van , " and here the old editor's far
away look faded , while a brighter and ex
ceedingly fin de slecle expression supplanted
It , "tomorrow you and I had better take a
look over the pay roll. "
