Shortly afterward Pat went to a

MEW HOMES IN THE WEST.
Two Million Acres of Govern
ment Lands to Be opened
- To The Homesteader.
(From Thursday’s Daily.)
Almost half a million acres of
Government land in the Rosebud
Indian Reservation, in the south
eastern part of South Dakota, and
one and a half million acres on the
Shoshone Reservation in Wyoming,
are to be opened for homestead
settlement at an early day.
Registration for the Rosebud lands'
will probably begin August 8 and
the final allotment take place a
month later. The Rosebud reser
vation lands are well watered by the
Missouri, Niobrara and White rivers
and are situated in the great corn
belt, where adjacent farm lands are
selliDg at from $25.00 to $40.00 per
acre. The region that is to be
opened is reached by the direct
hue of the Chicago & North-West
ern R’y from Chicago, St. Paul
Minneapolis,Sioux CityqDes Moines,
Omaha,Fremont,the Black Hills and
other points in the west, through
to Bonesteel on the - eastern reser
vation border.
The Shoshone or Wind River Res
ervation is in the high plateau lands
of Central Wyoming, bounded on
the south by the Wind River, and
on the north by the Owl Creek
mountains, while the Big Horn'
drains the eastern portion of the
lands that are to be opened.
These lands are to be reached via
the Chicago & North-Western R’y
to Casper, thence by stage to
Lander, or via the Chicago, Uniqu
Pacific and North-Western Line to
Rawlins. ,
The treaty has been made by
which the Shoshone lands north of
the Wind River are to be opened to
settlement, and awaits early Con
gressional action. Government
lands of good quality are much
scarcer than they were atone time,
and the interest evidenced by this
announcement of new lands to be
opened tc the settler is very great.
A heavy movement westward of
those who desire to avail themselves
of the United States Homestead
act will doubtless begin as a result
of the announcement that these
lands are to be opened,
THIS AND THAT.
A man in Arkansas was recently
tried for assault and battery with
intent to kill. The state brought
into court the weapons used, a
rail, ax, gun, a pair of tongs, saw
and rifle. The defendant’s counsel
exhibited as the other man’s weap
ons a scythe, pitchfork, pistol, dog,
razor and hoe. The jury decided
the case as follows: “We,the jury,
would have given a dollar to have
seen the fight.”
An exchange tells of a lady who
decided to scare her husband, who
was quite a hard drinker, so he
would reform. To do this she pro
cured the costume of a devil she
had worn in a masquerade. The
next time the erring spouse came
home feeling happy she quickly
donned the costume. As he open
ed the door she stepped forward
and said in sepulchral tones:
“Come with me —I am the devil.”
The result rather startled her as
the response which greeted her
was: “Zat so? Shake ol’ boy; I’m
vour brother-in-law. I married
your sister.”
The merchants of Me Leansboro
have been offering a prize for the

pose laying a lot of eggs filled with
scrap iron when every lay threat
ened to wreck her constitution and
impair her by-laws.

§€§lls;
Mrs. Honora M. Shahon an old
time resident of Kilbourn, died
May 9, 1904, aged seventy-three
years, at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. P. G. Reynolds, in
Chicago. The funeral was held at
Lyndon Station, Wis., from St.
Mary’s church conducted by Rev.
Father Nevin, the services being
touchingly solemn and impressive.
Miss Shelton of Chicago, sang Open
Wide the Heavenly Portals and
Nearer My God to Thee. The in
terment was in the cemetery near

who have so long preceded her.
The pall-bearers were John Gleason
Wm. Brew, Chas. Collins, John En
right, Patrick Carrol and Michael
Conway. Deceased leaves four
daughters to mourn her loss. Mrs.
Ella Enright of Hannibal, Mo., Mrs.
Kate Reynolds, Mrs. Anna Me Gov
ern and Miss Mary Shahon of Chi
cago, besides two sisters and a host
of dear friends, many of whom ac
companied her remains to their
last resting place. Mrs. Shahon
was a woman of strong Christian
character. Chastened by sorrow,
and accepting responsibilities en
tailed upon her by the death ef
husband and son, she successfully
accomplished her mission. Her 'ife
was a living example of her religion,
always gentle and kind iu manner,
her presence will long be felt by
the sick and suffering whom she
cheered and helped in many ways.
She was a devoted daughter, an
exemplary wife, an indulgent
mother, a kind genial neighbor and
true loving friend. During the last
two years of her life she gradually
failed in health, and all that her
devoted children could do for her
comfort was powerless to keep her
longer. Her sorrow in leaving dear
ones here was greatly overcome in
anticipation oi the joyful reunion
beyond the grave.
