( Special Telegram. ) Today has been one of the llvo- llcsl days at the United States land olllco | alncu the opening to fotllcmcnt of the Great Sioux reservation seven years ago , the oc casion being the opening to homesteaders of the abandoned Fort Randall military reserva tion. Settlers have been gathering In town Hlncc Friday , * nearly all having driven about n hundred miles to reach here , and shortly after C o'flock this morn'ng ' they gathered , at the land cilice doors and patiently a\\aitcd the opening of the olllce at 0 o'clock. When ' the doors wcro promptly opened at that lioiir the crush was so great that" the doats wcro nearly broken down and the crowd only controlled by the caution from thu land of ficers that only one poison would be per- , i milted In the office at a time unless they i ' ceased making the latter a test of physical ' strength. j | Ono 8'iuatti'r who undertook a Journey of 1 i about 200 milts to be present to make his | ' miry before another mai : claiming the same I ipiaiter eectlon could do to , thinking tie touM better his chances by a little shrewd we'rk , went to the residence of Reg'iUcr Row ] j of the land office yeslcrtlay during his nb- ] hi iii'c and left his entry papers with the ! I ; family. An effort was made lust night to i find him anl return the papers , but without I sinciss This morr..ng ' after the land olllce had opened lie pquiitter again called at the restdciK'o ot the register and when told be was at the olllce replied that ho bad stood In front of thi ) olllcu all thu morning and there wab no one there , ll was afterwards n cer- Ulncd that the squntlcr bad mis taken the abandoned law olllce of Reglsicr Row for tne land olllce and had jutleiiily stood there for hours waiting for il to open , M > ho could tender his homestead illlng. When ho finally learned of his mis- lake and succeeded In reaching the proper place , ho found that his rival bad already ( secured an etury on 120 acres of the quarter section hu claimed. Although hu had re- elded on the tract for two years , his disap pointment w t In a measure alleviated by being permitted to make entry of other land In the vicinity. Instead of being one of the ilrst to tender his entry , as he had for months fondly dreamed , his substituted entry was the fortieth placed on record In the laud olllco today. The Ftrt Randall reservation was estab lished by executive order , June * Ifi , 1SOO. A military p-.st was established there In 1851. The post was abandoned and an executive order of October liO. IbM , placed the reserva tion under control of the Interior depart ment for dkiK'sal under the homestead law. The reservation contains a total of more than 100,000 acres , n portion of which lies In South Dakota , the remainder In Nebraska. Thut-rortion lying lu this state was ope > ned to settlement today. In early days Fort Randall was the handsomest and gayest of frontier military posts and played oai Im portant figure In early hlatory of Dakota , 3IISS KAHMI3II KINDS I3.MP1.OY.MI3XT.

SITTMX < S TIM : ALASKA nnuxn.vuY. Treaty Uhrly to Hi * I'IIMNIM ! On liy CoiiKrcNM at an Karly Dale * . NEW YORK , Oct. 25. It Is believed here that In view of the great prominence Alaska has achieved owing to the recent gohl dls- coverles and the Importance of definitely fixIng - Ing the boundary line between our terrlUvlcs and that ot the Dominion ot Canada , that the senate , when It assembles In Daccmbcr , will take early action upon * the treaty pending between Great Britain and the United Stales for the survey and marking of the Hist meridian. This treaty was tent to the senate almost two years ago. The 141st meridian mark * the eistern bmmdaiy of Alaska down to within ten marine leagues of the southern coast , where the line trends to the southeast , Keeping that distance from the coast. Con cerning the lllsl meridian , there Is ot course no controversy between the United States and Great Britain , hut no basis of settlc- mcnt of the southcaotcrn line has yet been leeched by the tv.'o countries. The o'lglnal trexity as ecnt to the .senate. It Is under stood , was amended 61 proi > osed to be amended by Senator StewArt so as to Include the settlement of the dlsjirtc relating to tha southeantern line. If cuch an amendment wcro Insisted upon by the senate , ns appears not unlikely will be the case. It Is not at all certain that Great Britain will nt present agree to the.modification. . . The work of adjusting the differences be tween the two countries regarding the southeastern - eastern line has not progressed for two yvara. In IS93 each government appointed a com missioner to survey the territory through which this line runs and each made mipu of the country which were submitted to the re spective governments December 31. 1805. Thcso commlsslcnerK. however , had no power to propose a eiettlenicnt , an their work was confined strictly to furnishing Information upon which subsequent negotiations could pio.ced. As no ranee of mountains rune along the const , as was assumed to be the case when the boundary line between Rus sia nnd Canada was fixed In terms , the nl- ( crnatlvo proposition of a line ten marine leagues from the co.int must mark the limit of our territory but In the determination many Intricate ( mentions are Involved ; whether the coast line shall bo assumed to follow the slnuotillles of the shore or run from headland to headland ; or whether the line shall be conslderud to run ten niirinc leagues from the outer shore of the Islauita which form a. sort of archipelago along the coaat. The government olllcla's ' who have ptudled the fUe | tloii are confident that our title Includes the Islands and ten marine eagues of territory from the coaat line with all Its Klnuos'tliK.

A fifty-pound wl'dcat , with a split eyelid , an car considerably the worse for mastication , and fresh battle scars innumerable , was last night billed ns "two cats" by Messenger Gamble of Wells , Fargo & Co.'s express , and forwarded to Itn con- slgnco In Ohio. Messenger Gamble averred that as a matter of fact there were ro.illy iwo cats In the cage , although only one was visible. The other , he said , was somewhere In the innermcst recesses of the disreputnb'e looking beast which spat viciously ever his shoulder at all comers , and some frag mentary scsaniolds and tufts of gray fur strewn about the floor of the cage and tlm ensanguined whiskers of Its occupint sccmeJ to bear out his statement. The cats previous to assimilation were en trusted to Meteengcr Gamble's care at Kan sas City. Ho wan there assured that the animals had traveled together from Fall- broolc Cal. , In peace and harmony. How the difficulty arose Gamble sayn he cannot tell , but an hour out of Kansas City there was a sudden "I'hhtt" from the cage that made him overbalance In hla fhair and roll over on the floor. When ho got up ho noticed thnt his pets were crouching lu oppo site corners of the cage , their eats laid back , and their bobtails twitching nervously. He also noiloed that there didn't seem to bo as much so'ldlty about the structure lu which they were confined as ho would have liked , so he hastened to poke some beef In between the bars CM n diversion. lie had no sooner done this than the cats came together. Hi > would have lofl the car right there only that he scorned to leave his post. He nlso would hnvo been compelled to descend from the top of the safe to get to the door , so he drew his revolver with trembling band and rising hair and awaited developments. Every mlu- ute the combatants struck the bars of th : cage with a force that made them quiver. The fight lasted over an hour , and when at last the haggard mcrsenger left his perch and cautiously approached the cage to Investigate there was only ono cat left. iiiioTi3CTix < s 'i nn mrvci.i : I-ATII.

Mr. Howe stated that ho had occasion to go over the lath Sunday and he found It In bad shape. U was cut up In a dozen places by the wheels of heavy wagons. The tracks were evidently made shortly after the last rain and were EO dee-p in places that they would not admit of a bicycle passing over them. The roadway for wagons to Florence is also In bad shape In places , and where the soft spots have been encountered by the farmers they have' turned aside ami have used the path. Mr. Howe asserts that If this abuse of the path Is allowed to continue , H will soon be rulne-J. Chief Gallagher looked up the streets which mark the city limit. and found that a large paitlon of the path was cnutlud to police protection by the city. Olllcers Baldwin and Barnes the blcyclo men of the t'urce , will be In structs ! to watch the path hereafter and to place under arrest any owners of vehicles found using It. The county officials have been notified and they will have the path occasionally Inspected by an officer.

Concerning the attack made upon him by the World-Herald and his connection In plac ing funds hi the two defunct banks , the Ger man Savings and the Midland , County Treas urer Helm rod has the following to say : "If the German vote ot Douglas county had not risen ciimasso against the mongrel ticket , supported by the World-Herald , no attack would have been made upon me. Ang'y , bccaurt ) of this disaffection In the ranks of Its own party that sheet Is seek ing revenge by attempting to besmirch my record. "Tho populist state examiners spent seven weeks going through my olllce end have completed their work. I have received $1,250,000 In the last twenty months and lave disbursed $1,100,000. Every voucher was checked and every entry examined by thcuc blate examiners. Their report will speak for Itself. "Now. with direct reference to the matteis . - . . l forth by the World-Herald , I will sd.i .hut the reporter distorted the 'acts c.1tumbtucd the figures hi a way to nlslcail . . : id d:1 so purposely with the in cut to influence voters lu the coming elec tion. "Unfortunately , I am a stockholder In the German Savings bank and as such stock- li lder am responsible for twice the amount ot my stock to the creditors of that bank. It Is true 1 resigned as a director long be fore the bank's condition aroused suspicion and refused to act because 1 was county treasurer , but my resignation was not accepted. "It Is true that when the German Savings bank closed Its doors It had $39,722.04 of county money. It Is also true that during the nine days 'immediately preceding , 1 checked out a net sum ot ? 20l29.)3. ! ( ) This was not done , however , because 1 thought the Lank was Insolvent , but because I kept my active account there. If the World-Her ald man had cared to be fair ho would have found the lluctnatlon of dally balances In that bank greater than In any other In the city. CO.MMISSIONEKS APPROVED BOND. "However , the county board approved a bond of the German Savings bank for $100- 000 and authorized me to keep on deposit t..ero $50,000 at all times , nni I say If thla eatlro sum were now In that bank the county would not lose a cent. Fred Krug Is one of the bondsmen , and that fact alone contra dicts the statement that the $39,000 Is a total loss. But the assets of the Lank are also liable ) and the stockholders arc liable. Fur thermore , the bank claims an affect against the * entlro sum for tax certificates paid and which should be refunded by the county. Suit is now pending against the bondsmen and the issues will all be determined in court. "It is true that at times during the busy months of the year the balances on deposit occasionally exceeded $50.000 , but more times IcSss , the Intention "of the bank being that the average dally balances should not ex ceed the sum covered by a depository bond. If the bank bad closed with any sum above $50,000 on deposit 1 would have been per sonally responsible on my bond for the ex cess. cess.'The unfairness of the Insinuation of the World-Herald Is very apparent when It an nounces In capital letters that on the very day of the suspension I deposited $537.05. I luicl known the bank wan about to close 1 should not have deposited a single dollar. If I had 'Intended to brace up the bank 1 could have deposited on that day nearly $11- 000 without Incurring one dollar of pcrsonil responsibility , because I was authorized bj the- bond ot that bank to place and keep $50UOO there. I had on July i ) , 1S9G , $20S.- SSJ.71 fin deposit In the other banks of the city subject to my check. Had I suspected anything wrong with the bank I certainly should have drawn out the savings deposit of my children , amounting to $322 , which' was there when the bank failed. SOMH OF THE STOCKHOLDER. "Lot me emphasize the fact that de plorable ao the German Savings bsnk failure Is and surprising as It was to many well Informed persons no man can examine the list of stockholders. Including such names as ex-Governor Crouiife , Fred Metz , Fred Krug and Casper E. Yost , and then believe that the depositors will receive nothicig and that the county deposit Is n total loss. The bond for $100,000 , given to the county to secure the balance In that Institution , is. In my judgment , good. What there Is In the offset for tax receipts the courts will have to determine. The 15 per cent dividend to the county la held by the receiver on an order of tJie court pending the decision upon this point. The county , therefore , has the bank assets , the boml , the stockholders and the chose In action of the bank all be tween it and loss. I may add that I did not open the account In the German Savings bank originally. I found an account there and all that was done under my administra tion was to continue It and to secure It by the bond for $100,000 , blgncd by Fred Krug and other olllcers of the bank , bind ing themselves personally to the county. THE MIDLAND BANK. "As to the Midland State bank failure I will say that this Institution' gave the county a bond in tlm sum of $50.000 signed by the olllcers of the bank-anil Maria T. John son , the daughter and heir of Byron Hoed , anw If no other name on the bond Is good that name was sufficient to nullify the county commltslonerH and ought to satisfy the taxpayers of Douglas county. That bank was > entitled to $25,000 upon Us bond. It closed with $21,710 of county money charged against It. This money was not depowlted In that bank because one of ltn officers Is a surety on my bond , but because I thought and titlll think the county was abundantly protected by the depository bond filed with tha county commissioners and approved by them. No county commissioner came to mete to suggest that the bank was unsafe. I drew out $1,000 per week from that bank for several weeks prior to Itti suspension. The county has commenced suit upon this bond , and It Is presumed It will bo reached In due corn-go. "Upon my request and at my direction my de-puty , F. B. Bryant gave to the World- Herald reporter every facility to get at His facts. Ho answered every question frankly and fully. Ho mode him statement after statement of the business of the olllce. know ing full well that tlm reporter was seeking Information which could bo distorted Into something to my discredit. If the Wor'.d- Hcrald meant to bo honest In Us criticism and truthful In Its charges it would not juggle Its figures lu the unconscionable ) manner characteristic of this article.

For the past two weeks there has been a od deal of complaint by certain Farnam street property owneis In regard to the man ner In which the curb on that street was being reset. It had been alleged that the old wooden blocks were being used as a foundation , for the curb on Farnam street , and that in other ccs the s'tone was being set in clay , In stead of sand , as rcMiiircJ by the specifica tions. Chris Hartmas has been doing mrst of the talking , and he Incidentally criticised the city engineer. Last Saturday night a meeting of property owners was calle'd to discuss the subject. City Engineer Rosewater - water declined to attend , but yesterday lie gave the property owners an opportunity to substantiate their charges. He tool : Mr. Hartman , Curtlss Turner and others along the street and Invited them to designate the [ ilaces where the curb had been Improperly laid. Mr. Hartman pointed out the locality ant ! Mr. Rosewatcr Immediately set a couple cf men to digging up the curb. The result showed that the stone rested on a solid bed of from six to eight Inches of fc-and , or even more than was required by the specifications. The same thing was repeated halt a dozen times with a similar result , and the com- [ ilalnants were finally compelled to admit ihelr assertions were mistaken. Not a parti cle of foundation was discovered for the charges. i\u effort will also be made to push the Center street curbing , which has been pro gressing very slowly for the last month. The paving contractor was originally bound to complete the job by November 1 , but on ac- eount of the diilay In curbing an extension will bo granted. The Farnam street pavement Is being pushed as rapidly as possible while the good weather lasts , and If the sun continues to shine for three weeks more the entire street will be completed. Another day or two will finish both sldro of the street to Thirtieth street , so that nothing but new pavement will bo visible from the city ball.

A delegation of South Twenty-fourth alrcet property owners met the dlty council at the committee meeting yesterday afternoon to urge thnt some action bo taken to open the street so It could bo used for traffic. The obstruction Is at the crossing of the Burlington tracks wheto the street was oilglnally graded In contemplation of a via duct that has never been built. The re sult Is that the grade of the street Is about thirty feet higher than lho , tracks. Some time ago the railroad company had the croon ing fenced up In order to save thu expense of maintaining a watchman and It has remained in that condition ever since. The property owners Contend that they have paid the special taxes to pay for grad ing the street and that It Is unjust that they should now bo denied the uao of the street. They want the fence torn down and cither a viaduct or a grading uf tha embankment so that a passage will be possible. City Engineer Rcsewnter cays that ic his opinion It would be poor policy to try to grade the street down to tho' crossing. In the first place no grade could'bo ' made that would not bo too steep for ordinary travel , und to make the street pzeuablo for light wagons would cost fully $150 , aside from the fact that It would be undoing tlm grad ing that the property owners paid for orig- 1 : ally. In bis opinion no grade could now be made that would not be dangerous. Councilman Mount has Introduced an ordl- uincc which requires the railroad companies to build a viaduct at that point and this Is now pending. Similar ordinances have been Introduced before , b it they have Invariably been pigeonholed or placed on file. Thn last udimmed ; of that description wt < i Introduced a coup'e of years ago. Immediately after the local railroad companies decided not to Issue P&SSCS to city officials.
