Matter. .
BONESTEEL. a D., July 5. Speclal.)
The'ooumlssloner of the general land office
propose to look after - the public in the
distribution of the Rosebud lands. , He
did that In Oklahoma and he is doing it
her today. Ha called the notary trust.
and put It out of business In short order.
Commissioner Richards is an official above
reproach,, and will not stand for anything
not absolutely on the square.
' "I notice the people of Yankton were
forming; a vigilance committee to suppress
th fake contest graft," said tha commis
sioner. "Tou may tell your readers that
no legitimate entryman need fear thla
bunoo game. We propose to take care of
that"
Th take contest graft Jm where contest
paper are filed for the express purpose of
extorting money from the original entry
man. The delay In ordinary contest cases
gives ample opportunity for an experi
enced grafter to aeparate the average
homesteader from considerable money In
order to stop proceedings. - '
W win handle these fake contests here
as we did In Oklahoma," aald Commis
sioner Richards today. "When a contest
la offered on Bonesteel lands the register
and receiver of th local land office act at
one. Th case la placed before the gen
eral land office within twenty-four hours,
and from there goes at once on appeal to
th secretary of the Interior. It will take
lea than trn day to dispose of it finally,
and It immediate consideration by the
register and receiver eliminates all oppor
tunity for grafting. The legitimate entry
man need hav no fear of the fake con
test grafter, and the Tankton vlgllanc
committee may as well dliband." n
In th selection of lands on the Rose
bud the aame plan followed at the Okla
homa opening will be adopted. The last
man to register haa th aame chance as
th first. There I absolutely no advan
tage In the order of registration. On the
dag th first successful hundred are no
tified to appear at Bonesteel, the name of
th person holding No. 1 will be called,
and he will b admitted . and allowed to
elect hi claim. On the wall will be
posted a large sectional map of the dis
trict, aod hi selection will be checked off.
When th last selection has been made,
th remaining lands will be offered for
sals at St per acre.
There la much criticism here over the
seemingly Intentional removal of all, gov
ernment landmarks on th reservation. It
la said that thsy have been purposely re
moved, and many openly charge It to some
of the locators. William Fisher of Omaha
and a Be representative traveled over
fifty mile of th reservation yesterday
and found all stakes removed. One cor
nerstone was found, but It had been dug
up. When Commissioner Richards' atten
tion was called to thla state of affairs he
condemned It la most vigorous language

Raise a Little Storm, nnt It
Soon Blows Itself
Oat.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 1,-Thomas P.
Watson of Georgia waa placed in nomina
tion for president by the populist national
convention, Jo A. Parker of Kentucky
making the nominating speech.
When the populist convention was called
to order today there was a long wrangle
of the report of th committee on resolu
tions. The report of th committee on cre
dentials brought forth a storm of protest
Robert Shilling of Wisconsin protested
against what he termed high-handed and
Unfair methods.
The question at Issue waa whether states
that had only a partial list of delegates
present should be permitted to cast th full
vote of the state. , It was finally decided I
that where states were represented in the
convention, those delegates be permitted
to cast the full rot of tha state.
Oil for Troubled Waters.
Th report of the committee waa adopted
and the following 'permanent officer were
elected: Chairman, J. M. Follett of Texas;
secretary, J. D Franc of Nebraska; as
sistant aecretary, W. C. Campbell of Kan
sas. Three from each state were selected
a members of the national committee,
and where no state had representative in
th convention it was d Raided that the ex
ecutive committee appoint members from
those states.
Th committee on resolutions In Its re
port to the convention reaffirmed adherence
to the basio truths of th Omaha plat
form of 1893 and of th subsequent plat
form of 18& and 1900. The platform than
aaya:
Th issuing of money is a function of
government and should never be delegated
to corporations or Individuals. The consti
tution gives to congress alone power to
Issue money and regulate its value. We
therefore demand that all money shall be
Issued by the government In such quanti
ties as shall maintain stability in prices
every dollar to be a full legal tender, none
of which shall be a debt redeemable In
other money.
Want Postal Savlagra Banks.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of ths saving of the people.
We believe in the right of labor to or
ganise fur tlie benefit and protection of
those who toil and pledge the efforts of th
populist party to preserve this right In
violate. Capital Is organised end has no
right to dtriiy to labor ths privilege which
it clalma for itself.
We feel that Intelligent organisation of
labor Is essential: that It raises th stand
ard of workmanship.
W favor the enactment of legislation
looking to the Improvement of conditions
for wag earners, the abolition of child la
bor, the suppression of sweat-shops and
of convict labor in competition with tree
labor and the exclusion from American
shores of foreign pauper labor. We favor
the shorter workday snd declare that if
eight hours constitutes a day's labor In
government servloe thst eight hours should
constitute a day's labor In faotorio, work
shops and mines.

awakened the 700 persons who occupy the
various buildings of the exhibit

from the wlndowa or rushed Into the
streets, half-clad. Othera thought of their
possessions and packed their trunks, only
to throw them from the wlndowa when
tbey had them strapped, fearing they
would be unable to convey them down
stairs. Trunk after trunk was thrown to
the street, breaking open when ' it struck
tha ground, scattering trinkets around.
After them their owners would Jump, In
danger of being seriously Injured, but
none sustained more than light bruises,

within the enclosure, rushed from his
rooms to the scene of the fire and as he
passed th Central hotel, a trunk thrown
from the second story struck him on the
head. He was picked up unconscious and
waa taken to the emergency hospital. His
Injuries are thought to be serious and per

ant, and his son, Norman Jeurs, were
compelled to ' leap from the second-story
windows of th building to save themselves.
They were first awakened by the shots
fired by the watchmen.

peopl that he has th biggest and beat
stock of goods at the lowest prices and re
cite it until they begin to believe him
and then surprises himself by finding that
he haa really what he ojlalm. Th peopl
who were yesterday predicting Parker'
nomination on tha second ballot are now
saying that his nomination may be ex
pected on the first ballot, but In this their
hopes are getting thai better of their rea
son. In the meantime th opposition haa not
been idle. The efforts to consolidate tha
anti-Parker force hav been manifested
In frequent conferences, but it Is uphill
work, especially as they .hav no common
bond of union to unite thsm on one man.
Tammany's antipathy ta Parker is mani

seen, very few. Some McClellan literati.
Is also being distributed, but Without c.i
atlng the .expected diversion.
The dally edition of the Commoner that
Bryan promised some time, ago haa not
materialized; In fact Bryan haa been so
busy mending his broken fenc that he
would not have had time to devot to such
an enterprise. . ' . .
Talk of Platform. '
The talk about platform la all to tha
effect that -a declaration of principle will
be all patched up to which no 'one will
take very decided exceptions,' Bryan will
present his Nebraska platform to th com
mittee which may accept part of it to hold
him to It The 'platform la to be left en
tirely to a few leaders, th rank and fll
of the delegates are evincing llttl Interest
in It So far aa Nebraska' sixteen vote
are concerned, the meeting of tha delega
tion merely emphasised the fact that they
are to be placed wherever Bryan want to
plant them. Nebraska, however, is by no
means the center of political gravity her
that It was four years ago at Kansas City,
nor even so near the canter aa it waa
eight yeara ago at Chicago. In all tha
tables Nebraska'a votea are almply labelled
"ant!," and no one undertakes to flgura
whlre any will finally land. All Bryan
gives 6ut is that no one has a right ta
quote him as favoring any particular can
didate. ' .His nearest friends, however, ex
press the belief that no matter what, tha
convention doe he will smile ana tak
hla medicine if he haa to.
Parker Men Court Bryaa.
The Parker men are making strenuous
overture to Bryan and hi Nebraska dele
gation In the hopes of placating them to
what they insist Is the inevitable. Judge
Elliott Danfort of New York called today
to tell Mr. Bryan and his supporters of
tha friendly feeling harbored by Judge
Parker for him. He wanted to assure him
above all of Parker's regularity In the cam
paigns of 1S96 and 1900, and had the docu
ment with him to show that Parker had
contributed to the Bryan aampalgn fund
both time. In lm Parker gave $260, which,
next to the contribution of Hearst waa th ,
largest received in the atate of New Tork,,
and In 1900 Judge Parker'a contribution waa
$600. All these statements were taken un
der advisement by tha Brysnltea. . ,
Another effort along the same line was
made late last night Just after the Penn
sylvania delegation had declared for Par- '
ker when a representalldn of the Pennsyl
vanlan called at the Nebraska headquar
ters to tell him what they had done and
to make the request, coupled with their
friendly greetings, that Bryan be a good
boy after Parker should he n imed. To '
on of the Nebraska delegation, 'hey de
clared that with Parker the ri uluee they
could get all kinds of mon . ..it would
