NORTH PtiATTE, Neb., March ll-(Spe-cil.)
On of th features of the homestead
law seems to have been taken advantage
of by soma of the men who are vciy
reluctant to rive up the land which they
have for years past used as free range
for their slock. An enactment of con
tress of some years standing- provides that
old soldleia of the rebellion may have
certain privileges not accorded to othor
' ptopte desiring homesteads. One of these
privileges la that by filing a soldier's de
' claratory statement the soldier shall have
' the right to enter for six months there
after the land described In the declaratory
ttatcment. The declaratory statement may
be filed by an agent, and there Is nothing
In the law to prohibit one agent from act
ing for a number of people.
The 'effect of filing the statement Is prac
tically to Keep other people from nilng
on the land for a per I ml of six months. It
' costs the applicant but $J per filing. Dur
' lug th recent opening ot land In this re
gion to one-section, homesteads one I'hlle
tua II. Wlntersteen filed sixty-four such
soldier declaratory statements, and alto
gether thera were filed uevcnty-slx such
statements which covered and rjrnctlcally
prohibited from entry by bona fide appli
cants 45.0UO acres of homestead land. There
was method In the affair, too, fur the agent
was In the employ of a prominent cattle
, man of the state and these declaratory
statements covered the best land in the re
gion. The Way It Works.
An example of the manner of covering
the land may be seen from the fact that
the records of the United BUU land ofllco
here show that there were 10,000 acres
In township 1, range 36; 14,000 acres In
township 17, range 3t; 1,000 acres In town
ship If, range 37; 4,000 acres In township
IT, .range 37; in round numbers 36,000 acres
were covered by these statements. On the
face of them and the records, all is fair
and no fraud exists, but back of it there
can be no concealment of the motives.
It Is not saying more than there is ample
evidence to substantiate to say that It is
but renting the government land by a
cattle man or two for this year's grazing
season at 12 per section. The applica
tions show that the postofllce address of
the old soldiers who have signed these
applications are most entirely locations
of soldiers' homes, which presents unmis
takable evidence that the agent. Winter
stern, went to these homes and procured
the old soldiers' signatures to the power of
t attorney authorising him to choose land
for them.
The land has been pronounced by people
who, are acquainted with its character
a being the best that was thrown open
for entry In February. Consequently there
will become subject to one-Bectlon home
stead entry at the North Platte, Neb., land
office 46,000 acres of the beat homestead
land In the region. These declaratory
statements expire six months from date
of flllnt and they will all run out between
August 13 and 30 of the present year, at
which time no doubt there wilt again be
a goodly number or applicants in this city
bunting for land. . ,
Rock Island "Wias Contest.
BEATRICE, Neb.. March .-Special.)
By a clever move the Rock Island road has
secured right-of-way over certain, streets
and alleys In the south part of th city
for the purpose of building a switch to the
grocery house of E. 8. Stevens. The ex
tension will be about four blocks in length
and Will run diagonally across three blocks.
The ordlnanoe granting the company this
.privilege was passed at the last meeting
of the city council, and, - although the
Union Pacific had a similar proposition
before the council several months ago, it
met with defeat.
While the statement was made at the
.meeting of the council that the company
wanted the right-of-way merely for side
track purposes. It is believed there is
something behind this move on the part of
the company not yet known to the public,
and that It may be figuring on making
What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease.
The mention ot sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mother and grandmothers gave us our
dally doe of sulphur and molasses every
spring and tall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purlller." tonlo and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crudo and unpalatable, and a large quantity
had to be taken to get any effect.
1 Nowaday we get all the beneficial effect
of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated
form, so that a single grain is far more
effective than a tablespoonfui of the crude
sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that th best sulphur for
mdlclnal us i that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug
tores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafer. They are small chocolate coated
pellets and contain the acjlye medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con
centrated, effective form.
Few people are awr oY h value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and main
taining bodily vigor end health: sulphur
act directly on the liver, and excretory
organs and purine and enriches the blood
by the prompt elimination of waate ma
terial. Our grandmother knew this when thoy
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall but the crudity and Impurity
of ordinary Mowers of sulphur were often
worse than the disease, and cannot com
pat with the modern concentrated prep
aration of sulphur. Of Which Stuart' Cal
cium Wafe la undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They, are the natural antidote far liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood in a way that often
kurbrlsus patient and physicians alike. '
Dr. n. M. Wllklns while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that th
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He say: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when result,
lug fiom constipation or malaria. I have
been surprised at the result obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafer. In patient suf
fering from boll and pimples and even
deep-Mated carbuncles. I hav repeatedly
seen them dry up and disappear in four
or five days, leaving the okln clear and
smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafer
is a proprietary article and sold by drug
gists and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet I know Of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles and especially lu all forms of
sk!n disease a thl remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of pills,
cathartics and so-culled blood "purifiers"
will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers, a
far safer, more palatable and Oeotlva

SHO WALTER'S FIRST KSLISTMEST
How a Member of the Virginia
Mllltla not Into the Army.
FREMONT. Neb, March 18.-(Kpeeial.)-Major
J. H. Bhowalter of this city Is one
of the few survivors of the members of the
Virginia militia, who wero called Into
service during the John Brown Insur
rection Just liefore the war. He was at
that time first lieutenant of the Marlon
Ouards of Fairmont. Va.. now West
Virginia. At the time Brown was hung,
his company wss again In service doing
guard duty at Harper's Ferry. He was
bitterly opposed to secession an were a
majority of the people in that part of the
state, but not In that county and while
still retaining his commission In the guards
he quietly formed a decision not to fight
against the flng. The circumstances at
tending his enlisting In the Union army
are more remarkable than anything in
fiction. When the Virginia militia were
called Into service by Governor Itcher, the
women of Fairmont presented the Marlon
guards with the confederate colors. The
same day the captain left for Richmond
on a political errand and the command of
the Company fell to Lieutenant Showalter.
He knew the sentiments of most of his
men and during the afternoon it was under
stood among the Union men, who num
bered twenty-three, not quite a third of the
company that they would meet In the
cellar of the Fairmont tannery that even
ing and dcolde what to do. In spite of all
precautions the news leaked out that the
first lieutenant was not loyal and some of
the hotheaded among the town people
determined to hang him. Just after supper
the mob found him sitting In front of his
brother' house reading. This brother was
a strong secessionist and later nn officer
In the confederate army. They Informed
him that he had been enlisting men for
"Abe Lincoln's hirelings" and that they
had the rope there to hnng him. They
would undoubtedly have succeeded for he
was unarmed had .not his sister-in-law, a
handsome, resolute young woman, stepped
In front of him giving him an opportunity
to escape through the house. That night
one by one the twenty-three men gathered
In the tannery building and by the light
of a solitary candle signed an agreement
drawn by their lieutenant to enlist
In the Union army. They left by
different roads and by the following
noon nearly all succeeded in reach
ing General Kelley's forees which were on
their way to Fairmont. The next morning
the union forces entered Fairmont.
Showalter's former command and another
company of Virginia mllltla which ar
rived the day before having taken to the
woods. He was commissioned captain
upon the organisation ot thcTh!rd West
Virginia Infantry, In a few months was
promoted to be major serving for three
year. Governor Letcher of Virginia of
fered a reward of $000 for' the apprehension
of one John H. Showalter dead or alive
charging him with being a traitor. The
major has one of the small posters which
were circulated throughout the western
part of the state offering the reward. He
Is now 75 years of age and is living with
hi son F. II. P. Showalter In this city.
