The claim of the Kearney Hardware
company for 11,080 for hardware furnished
the Kearney Normal school, which was
llowed by the State Normal board on
August 29, has been held up by Auditor
Bearle for Investigation. C. H. Gregg, a
niember of the State Normal board. Is
president of the KaaruaV. i Hardware com- .
I'Any, and, as such officer, died a receipt
with the auditor showing that the hard
ware had been received. This receipt he
igned as a member of the State Normal
board, while as president of the Kearney
Hardware company he signed the voucher
asking for payment for the hardware. Mr.
Bearle held up the claim because he thought
It not proper that Mr. Gregg, niember of
the board, should receipt for goods sold by
Mr. Gr-;s. president of the Kearney Hard
ware (.ompany, to the State Normal board.
The question of the right of Mr. Gregg,
as a member of the board, to be a partner
of the firm selling hardware to the board,
Mr. Searle has not gone into, but this
question may come up later.
The contract created some stir at the last
meeting of the State Normal board, when
Mr. Mortensen demanded to know of Mr.
Gregg whether it was not Illegal for him
to be a partner in the firm dealing with
I'lC woi u I'l n iiivii tic m luriuuvi. ait.
rfKir hiirwi'i rn iimi us m ii inuivinum it
Would be Illegal for him to hold such con
tract, but that It was perfectly legal for
film to be a member of the corporation
that held the contract. He t also stated
that he became a niember of the Kearney
Hardware company after the contract had
been made for this hardware.
The contract was originally let July 15.

The sad spectacle of a prominent county
official with one breath loudly proclaiming
for an anti-pass law and almost with the
next requesting free transportation was
witnessed at the state house this morning.
The man came into a state office and told
oi the good work his county had done
with his assistance in endorsing an anti
pass law, and a. few minutes later asked
the slate official for transportation for
himself. The man was turned down, the
state official telling him the best way to
get reform laws was by the reformers first
practicing what they preach.

In common with evangelical Christianity,
aguinst the continuance of the liquor traf
fic. We protest against the license ss
tem as a corruptor of the public conscience,
as the creator of a political oligarchy
which exacts subserviency to its shameless
demands as the price of political prefer
ment, and as a cloak under which the out
crying outrages of rum are perpetrated,
under, the sanction of the law, and under
the protection of the flag. We again place
ourselves on record In declaring that the
prohibition or Tne manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors is the only honorable
and succeasful solutloa of Uils question.
Resolved. That we recognize In the non
enforcement of law against crime a grave
danger to public morals ano a menace to
the perpetuation of the noblst traditions
of our American heritage. We point with
pride to the brave and persistent attitude
of our brother. Governor Joseph W. Folk
of Missouri, In the enforcement of the
Sunday law. We respectfully represent to
the governor of Nebraska that he Instruct
bis police boards in Omaha and South

pledge him herewith our own support and
assure him of the enthusiastic approval of
all law-abiding citizens in a fearless car
rying out of his official oath to enforce all
law.

AT NORTH PLATTE
Kearly Ona Hundred ThoaM-fid Acres of
Land Taken in AnguiU
SOME GOOD CLAIMS TO BE FOUND
Removal of Fences from Pnblle
Domain Will Permit Settlers to
Secure Large Tracts of
Land.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) The officials of the United States
land office located In this city have Just
completed their monthly report, showing
the number of entries and the acreage em
braced wtlhln tha same,'rmade by parties
who took advantage of the Klnkald act
or one-section homestead law during the
month of August, 1906. The showing Is
good and most of the entrymen seemed to
have bona fide Intentions. In fact quite
a few have already gone to their lands,
and have begun to Improve the same and
build homes. Some who filed during the
month have already taken their families
to the land, although under the law they
have full six months after entry for filing
in which to establish their residence en
the land. The report shows that during
the month 172 entries or filings were made
and that these embrace 99.V36.52 acrea.
The report of the North Platte United
States land office for July 1, 1905, showed
that there were still vacant and subject
to entry at that time within the district of
the North Platte office, which embraces
all of Keith, Perkins and Lincoln counties
and the aouth half of McPherson and the
southwest quarter of Logan counties, 26L
719 acres. Since that date 110,872 acres have
been homestead ed, which would leave 160,
M7 still vacant and subject to homestead
entries of one section. Most of this land
lies in McPherson and Keith counties,
hence there la ample opportunity for the
seeker of one-section homesteads. The
land vacant la about of the same grade
as that taken, but lies further north, being
mainly In the south half of McPherson
and the north half of Keith, and hence on
account of the distance was not taken dur
ing the August rush until that near the
Union Pacific railroad was nearly all gone.
It is mainly covered with natural wild
grasses and splendid for grazing purposes,
but aa yet the soil has never tilled..
c Xatare of Remaining La. ad.
Most of tha land is rolling, although
there would be no difficulty In finding sec
tions as rough as desired. Many, if not
most of the vacant sections have portions
whtch can be profitably put to crops, but
grazing and dairying Is the best use to
which the land can be put.
A former homestead Is Dot bar of entry
under the Klnkald law of such a number
of acres which, added to that of the former
entry, does not make more than 640 acres.
Those who either abandoned, commuted
(paid out) or for some reason lost their
homestead entry before proof, before Au
gust 30, 1890, are entitled to a whole sec
tion now. Soldiers have the privilege of
filing by agent. All others must appear In
person. Soldiers may file declaratory state
ments which will give them the preferen
tial rights for six months to homestead
the land. They must, however, before the
six months expire establish their residence
upon the land.
The railroads are doing all within their
power to settle the country. On the first
and third Tuesdays of each month they are
giving a rate of one fare, plus tZ. for the
round trip, and where this fare plus 12 is
more than a fare and a third for the round
trip the latter rate Is allowed. These rates
are good on practically all the roads In the
United States. The next homeseekers' ex
cursion will be the coming Tuesday, Sep
tember 5, 190G. Usually at these times quite
a number of parties seeking deeded as well
aa government land arrive.
Entry hy Mentha.
The following report taken from the re
capitulations of the United States land
office books at North Platte. Neb., ahowa
the number of entries and the number of
acres Bled upon since the Klnkald. or one
section homestead law, took effect, June
28, 1904. The total number of acres filed
upon since the Klnkald act took effect Is
better than 600,000 acrea:

On February 14. 1905, 167 entries were
made, which embraced about 100.000 acres.
This kept the land officials working every
minute and Is probably the largest acreage
ever filed upon In any one day in any land
office tn the United States.
Trouble from Grnslera.
The trouble with the cattlemen, who are
unwilling and unable to learn that the va
cant land belonging to the government, la
not their public domain, haa not ended yet
altogether, although there has been quit
a hauling down of fences. Information
has been furnished District Attorney Bax
ter by the United States special agents tn
regard to sixteen others besides those who
are out on bond, who have been violating
the laws prohibiting fence Inclosing gov
ernment land, and unless soma of the per
sistent ones remove their fences mandatory
Injunctions will probably be secured or
dering them to take their fences down and
keep them down. To pay two or three fines
of tt.000 each dos not hurt the cattlemen
when. If they still range the country, their
cattle may eat 150,000 to $100,000 worth of
government grass- each year. All those
whose fenceo inclose government land have
had notice served upon them by the gov
ernment to remove the fences. It Is only
a question of time until the unlawful fen
cing will be a thing of the past if the per
sistent and vigilant action of the govern
ment which Is now In vogue continues.
First Child Samed "Klnkald."
The first man to get a homestead of one
section under the Klnkald act In the North
Platte (Nebraska) land office district was
Robert A. Welch, who. with his wife, came
to this city early before the land opening
on June 28, 1904. Mr. Welch inquired at
the land office about the vacant land and
went out and made his selection. The
evening before the opening he took his
place, when the land office closed, next to
its door, and there he stayed all night long
and until 9 o'clock the next morning, and
although several hundred were lined up, he
held his place and got the land of his
choice, section 10. township 12, range 32,
about fourteen miles southwest of this city.
Without waiting for the six Months to ex
pire, he Immediately moved upon the land,
with his wife, and has resided there ever
since. He was In North Platte a few days
ago and told of hl success. He says that
he has fifty head of nice cattle, thirty-five
acres of splendid corn, ten or twelve acres
of good millet, lots of potatoes and garden
vegetables In any quantity. He has a fine
lot of watermelons, which he says he will
market If the frost does not come too soon.
Best of all. during the spring their first
child waa born, and on a Klnkald home
stead, and what was more fitting than that
It be named "Klnkald," and the Hon. Moses
P. Klnkald, member of congress from tho
"Big Sixth," hearing of it, and its name
and history, ent it a gold spoon as a souvenir.
