Indian Territory, and allowing 8300 in
addition to salary for extra work. The
bill was then passed.
The military acadetry appropriation
bill was passed after some remarks had

Coavic ted of Perjury.
Helena, Dec. 22.—Ike B. Sheldon was
Convicted iu the United States court
late this afternoon of perjury. Sheldon
made two pre-emption filings, one be
fore the Miles City land office in 1832,
and the other bee ire the Hileua land
office in 1832. The proof was of a posi
tive character and when the jury went
out at 5 this afternoon it returned in a
few minutes with a verdict of guilty.
Sheldon will be sentenced Monday.
Filings For Reservoirs.
Washington, Die. 21.—The commis
sioner of the general land office has ren
dered a decision holding the tiling of the
reservoir site declaratory statements in
the west upon the public domain with
the intention of constructing reservoirs
is done with the understanding that
filing or other adverse entries will be
allowed by the general land office during
the pendency of the reservoir declaratory
statement and take precedence of it in
the event that the party of first filing
does not comply with the law.
Tho ruling 011 the part of the commis
sion:^ is a result of _i 11 formation reach
ing him of au alleged abuse of the ex
isting law permitting the tiling of decla
ratory statements. It is said,that many
persons avail themselves of the right
merely to appropriate land thoreunder
having no intention of constructing
reservoi :s, thus preventing in the mean
while t he initiation of other rights sub
ject to non compliance with the law
under the first filings.
Woman Army Oft'icrr.
Washington, Dec. 22.- -Dr. Anita New
comb McGee, who has tendered lier
resiguatiön as an assistant surgeon
Unitod States Army is the second woman
to hold an officer's rank in Uncle Sam's
service. The other is Dr. Mary Walker,
who had this honor conferred upon her
in the early sixties. It . McGee served
in the surgeon general's department
during the Spanish-American and Phil
lipine wars and Dr. Walker occupied, a
similar position during the civil war.
Dr. McGee's resignation has been
formally accepted to take effect Decem
ber 31, after which date the unique
position held by this talented daughter
of the weil known astronomer, Simeon
Neweomb, will be abolished, as no suc
cessor will be appointed wich the fuil
honors and title.
In her resignation Dr. McGee says
that the experimental and organizing
stages of the army nurse corps having
been passed after two and one-half years
labor she feels at liberty to ask that
her work be carried on by another. She
thanks c urgeon General Sternberg and
his staff for many courtesies received.
In accepting the resignation Surgeon
General Sternberg expressed high ap
preciation of the valuable services ren
dered by Dr. McGee in selecting trained
women nurses for duty in the field and
general hospitals and in organizing the
army nurse corps upon a satisfactory
basis and commended the excellent
judgment and executive ability shown.
Dr. McGee was appointed a regular
army officer on August 29,1893 at the
expiration of the work which the
Daughters of the American Revolution
accomplished in regard to the selection
and equipment of a corps of skilled
trained nurses for field «nd hospital
work during the Spanish-American
war. Her appointment as acting assis
tant surgeon, United States army, con
ferred upon her the rank of a first lieu
tenant. with the right to ^wear the
shoulder strap3 and uniform of that
grade officer, wi'.h the exception that
ustead of geld braid, siiver would have
been used had she chosen to avail her
self of tnis privilege. This, however,
she never did.
The continuance of Dr. McGee's offi
cial work in connection with the army
nurse corps will be discharged by Mrs
Dita H. Kinney, who up to the time of
Dr. McGee's resignation, was head nurse
at Fort Baird Hospital, New Mexico.
As soon as the army reorganization bill
passes Congress her title will be super
intendent of army nurse corps.
Rockefeller's Stock Ranch.
Wichita, Kan., Dec. 20.—It is report
ed here that Frank Rockefeller, of
Cleveland, Ohio, is negotiating for the
purchase of 140,000 acres of land in
Kiowa and Clark counties with a view
of stocking it with horses and high grade
cattle, sheep and hogs, especially norses ,
lor which he sees a profitable future. The
and is along Soldier creek, the fastest
running water in the state, and which is
fed by a great many springs, many of
them of aa arcesian character. At près
ent he has laud on both sides of the
creek for over seven miles, but the area
is too small for his plans.
He has but few horses on his ranch,
but they have demonstrated the adapt
ability of the country for giving bone
and wind to their kind, so that Mr.
Rockefeller is anxious to experiment on
a larger scale. It is also said that he
will experiment with poultry and ani
mals of various kinds, including some of
the wild animals of the plains. At
present his ranch is stocked with higa
grade Hereford cattle and saeep.

at Helena, which will install Gov.
Joseph K. Toole and other state officers

invited to be present and greet the new
governor and other officers and then
take part in the dance to follow. Five
thousand or more ^invitations will be
issued, and the committee on invitations
will send one to every citizen wüose name
they have. But the failure to receive an
invitation is no bar to attendance. It is
for the whole people.
The event, which takes place on the
evening of January 7,1901, will bo held
at the Auditorium, in Helena, and pre
parations are already under way to
irake it a success in every particular.

early part of the evening, when every
one present will be afforded an oppor
tunity to meet Gov. Toole. After the
reception the dance will begin and last
until he d; n sers quit.
The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound to
the affected parts is superior to any
plaster. When troubled with lame back
or pains in the side or chest, give it a
trial and you are certain to be more than
pioased with the prompt relief which it
affords. Pain Balm also cures rheuma
tism. One application gives relief. For
sale by Thos. B. Magee.

at Radcliffe College, recently astonished
the freshman class, of which she is a vice
president, by making a short address at
a class luncheon in Fay Hall.

make sounds which cau be understood
bv those familiar to her. She spoke ouly
a few words in a low, unmodulated
voice, which did not lack in strength,
and was even musical. She takes up
words and sentences and repeats them
until she improves in tone and modula
tion.
Her studies at Radcliffe include
French, English and History.
How to Cure Croup.
Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Douchess county, N. Y., says: "Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best
mar 1 ici ne I have ever used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fails to cure.' When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should be
borne in mind and h bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept aW hand ready for instant
use as soon as these symptoms appear
