it is said that McKinley’s Cuban

that of Cleveland.

The Idaho legislature is in

Boise has little show of election.
On a vote of 92 to C Senator
Teller was reelected to the U. S.
senate, Tuesday. This is a distinct
honor to the great silver champion.
Senate bill No. 97, introduced
by Canon, requires Justices of the
peace to take a cost bond in all
criminal cases, from the complain
ant.
There has been a bill introduc
ed in the legislature to require
horse-slioers to pass an examina

Rev. Talmage in his Sunday’s

The Cubans have succeeded in
sinking a Spanish gunboat. The
vessel attempted .to ascend the
river Canto, when she struck a
torpedo wrecking her and killing
several of the officers and crew.
Gov. Adams went to Leadville
and spent several days working
for a settlement of the strike. Ho
and othere succeeded in securing
a reasonable offer from the mine
owners to compromise, but the
miners refused to accept it, not
withstanding that Debs used his
influence to have them agree to
the terms. So the strike goes bn.
Senator Platt of New York has
to be a good deal of scheming to
get an office he once resigned. It
is no credit to the Empire state
to send a political boss like Platt
to the U. S. Senate in preference
to a good man like Choate. What
has New York gained or lost by
the retirement of D. B. Hill?
Nothing, and so far as the west fis
concerned it matters not which
boss is in.
The recurrence of the “black
death,” in Bombay, India, will
give th s physicians a chance to
6'udy the plague that two or three
centuries ago swept about one
fourth the population of Europe
away. In Bombay today the
people are fleeing by the 10,000
lrom the disease. The present
disease is probablv the same
“plague” that visited Europe in
the 16th and 17th centuries.
Western Kansas is never with
out her troupies. Just now the
eastern representatives, in the
Kansas legislature, think four
counties would be enough lor the
western third of the state and
so propose to take tbiry nine
counties, dump them in a box and
shake out four. There is a merry
war on and the legislator llrv,
who makes the proposition is be
coming famous lor the bad names
he is called.
The Methodist ministers yester
day decided to have their official
organ,' 'l’he Rocky Mountain
Uhristain Advocate, run for at
least four years. The conference
has given $12,000 to be expended
at the rate of $3,000 per annum,
with Rev. C. B. Spencer as editor
and manager. John Collins read
the paper of the day which was
on ’‘Conversion.”—Denver Re
publican.
Natural conditions m the “rain
hell” have not changed. There is
no more rain there than there
has been, and there is not going
to be any more. The “subterranean
lake” theory has been exploded,
and irrigation reservoirs are of
limited application. The new
element in the case is the discov
ery, confirmed by a scries of care
ful exderiments made in Kansas,
Nebraska and South Dakota, that
these arid lands can he made to
produce liberal ciops with just the
rainfall they get now, through
new methods of tilling the ground
so as to retain the moisture. The
new tillage will require intelligent
farmers and it will take hard work
to make it a success, but these
considerations are rather in favor
ol the states in which the lands
are located. A new race ot hardy
and diligent pioneers would be
worth far more than the swarm of
irresponsibleß that poured in
when it was thought that fortunes,
ready made, were waiting those
who first seized upon them. The
tillage is in every way a good
thing for the West.—Denver Re
publican.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly,
For February.
A particularly bright and at
tractive number of Frank Leslie’s
Popular Monthly is that for Febru
ary. It has a long list of good
articles and capital short stories
and almost everything is illustrat
ed. The opening paper is a sketch
of “Life in Russia,” by bophie
Fireland, describing a month's
visit at a little Russian house.
There is an excellent article on
“The University of Pennsylvania,
by Dr. Lewis R. Harley, forming
the fourth paper in the Monthly’s
series on “American Universities
and Colleges,” which has previ
ously treated ol Yale, Cornell and
Bryn Mawr. Other good things
ot this number are: “A visit to
the Syracuse Salt Works.” by S.
Turner Willis; “Ants ot the
Tropic’s,” by A. James Miller;
“The Development of the Modern
Hotel,” by John P. Ritter; “Some
Stories of Cats,” showing their
habits, characteristics and affect -
ions, “The character of General K.
E. Lee,” by Edmund Jennings
Lee; A Railway Ride from Edin
burgh to Balmoral,” by M. E.
Leicester Addis, etc. There is an
installment of Edith Sessions
Tapper,s serial story, “Father
John”; some interesting matter
about new plays,’with portraits; a
young folk’s department, contain
ing a Cuban War story, and other
things; and gossip about the new
books. —Frank Leslie’s Publishing

Just What Miners Want.
All who are, or expect to he, in
terested in mines will be glad to
know that Henry N. Copp, the
Washington, (D. C.) land lawyer,
has revised Cops Prospector’s Man
uel. The inineralngical part of the
work lias been almost entirely re
written by a Colt rado mining en
gineer, who has had years ot ex
perience as a prospector, nssayor
and superintendent ot mines and
United States surveyor.
The book is a popular treatise
on assaying and meneralogv. and
will be found useful to all who
wish to discover mines. The first
part of the work gives the United
States mining laws and regula
turns, how to locate and survey a
mining claim, various forms and
much valuable information. The
price is 50 cents at the principal
book stores, or of the author.
Another Smart Woman.
My husband is poor hut proud
and does not want me to work, as I
have nothing to do I get restless,
and alter reading in your paper of
Mrs. Russell’s experience selling
selt-heating flatirons l concluded 1
would try it. I wrote to J. F. Casv
&Co. St Louis Mo., and they treated
me so nicely that 1 tool very much
encouraged. As soon as 1 got my
sample iron I started out and sold
8 irons the first day, clearing sl2.
I have not sold less than 8 any day
and one day I sold 17. I now have
$225 clear money, and my husband
does not know 1 have been work
ing, but I am afraid tie will be mad
when I tell him. Have I done
right or should I quit work and
leave him to struggle alone?
An Anxious Wife.
You are doing just right, your
husband should be proud ot you.
go right ahead and show the world
what an energetic woman can do.
That self-healing iron must be a
wonderful seller, as we hear of so
many that are succeeding in sell
ing it. 2
A Churn that Churns in
One Minute.
I have been in the dairy business
all my life and have many times
churned for an hour before butter
would appear, so when l heard of a
churn that would churn in a minute
I concluded to try it. Every day
for a week 1 used it and not only
could 1 churn in a minute but 1 got
more butter than with the common
churn. This is very important in
formation to butler makers. The
churn works easily and will churn
an ordinary churning in less than
sixty seconds. 1 have sold two
dozen of these churns in the past
month. Every butter maker that
has seen me churn in less than a
minute has bought one. You cau
obtain all besired information re
garding the churn by addressing
J. F. Basey <fc Co., St. Louis, Mo.,
and they will give you prompt and
courteous attention. 2

The New Hook Spoon Free to All:
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A.M. Fritz,Station A. St.
Louis, Mo., would give an elegant
plated hook spoon to anyone send
ing her ten 2 cent stamps. I sent
for one and found it so useful that
1 showed it to inv friends, and made
$13.00 in two hours, t lung orders
tortile spoon. The hook spoon is :t
household necessity. Ii cannot slip
into the dish or cooking vessel, be
ing held in the place bv it hook on
the back. The spoon is something
that housekeepers have needed ev
er since spoons were first invented.
Anyone can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps t«> Miss
Fritz. Tins is a spk nded way to
make money around home.
Very truly, Jeanette S.
How the Dipper Saved the Farm.
Father was s? k and the mortgage
on the farm was coming due, 1 saw
in the Christian Advocate where
Miss A. M. Fritz of Station A, St.
Louis, Mo., would send a sample
combination dipper for IS two cent
stamps, ami 1 ordered one. I saw
tin* dipper could be used as a fruit
,]jtr filler; a plain dipper; a funnel;
a line st miner; a strainer funnel; a
sick room warming pan and a pint
measure. These eightdifferent uses
makes the dipper such a necessary
article that I went to work with it
and it sells "at very near every
house. And in four months I paid
off the mortgage. 1 think I can clear
as much as S2OO a mouth. If you
need work you can do well by giv-.
ing this a trial. Miss A. M. Fritz
{Station A, ISt. Louis, Mo., will send
you a sample lor 18 2-cent stamps
write at once. John G. N.
Make Your Own Lantern.
Your home is incomplete without,
it, and the price is within reach of
all. I ordered one lor my own üßo
und it was so handy and convenient
I went to taking orders for them
and sold 51 m one day making over
$5 clear. It gives a beautilul while
light, chimneys never break lrom
heat, it is always clean and ready.
Francis Casey, St. Louis, Mo., will
send sample for 13 two cent stamps
write for one. I got my start from
him. . George B.
Marry This Girl Quick.
I saw in your paper that a 13 year
old boy made $1.25 the first hour iie
worked selling the Uerfection Met
al Tip Lampwick. I ordered a sam
ple and went to work and the first
week I cleared $lO, the second
week 1 cleared sls. I expect to rm?
up to $25 a week in the near future,
as the Perfection Metal Tip Lamp
wick makes such a beautiful white
light and does away with smokey
chimneys and bad odor and saves
oil, it is easy to sell. If you wish to
try it send 13 two cent stamps to
Miss A.M.Fritz, station A. St. Louis
Mo., and she will send you sample
outfit, this is a good wav to make
money around home. Miss Tima\V.
A Chance to Make Money.
I read how one of your subscrib
ers made monev selling Dish wash
ere; 1 ordered one, and my lady
Iriends were charmed, as they hate
dish washing. My brother and I
commenced selling them, and have
made sl,7ooa!ter paving all expei -
ses. We don’t canvass any. Our
sales are all made at hon e. People
come or send for them, 'i h • Mound
City Dish Washer is the best Dish
washer on the market. Our busi
ness is increasing, and we are going
to keep right on, until we make ten
thousand dollars. We sell lrom 5 to
15 machines every day, ah l some
days more. The Dishwasher is love
ly, every housekeeper wants one.
There is no excuse to be poor when

ing Dish Washers. For full partic

Money, Make It Yourself.
I haye never seen anything in
the papers about the People’s
Windmill; we call if the People’s
because the inventor never patent
ed it, but let eve.vbody use it tree.
Any farmer can make a mill him
self, and ail the material complete
will not cost over $lO. It is a splen
did mill, will pump the deepest of
wells, and will last, longer than
any mill 1 ever had. Any person
can got diagrams and complete
directinds, free as I did, by sending
IS two-cent stamps to pay postage
etc., to Francis Casey, St. Louis Mo
he sells pumps also and when you
get your wind mill going would he
glad to sell you a pump if von
need it. It is certainly useless to
pay SSO or SOO for a wind mil!
when you can make one just as
good for $lO. I think there could
be big money made putting these
mills’ up through the country as
everybody likes them. 2

Save Your Homestead Right.
The Department of the Interior
is sending out the following circu
lar to the different land offices:
Your attention is called to the
provisions of an act. of Congress,
approved Dec. 29 ’9-1, entitled “An
act to amend section 3 of an act to
withdraw certain public lands fioni
private entry, and lor other pur
poses, approved March 2d 1889.
Sec. 3 of the act of March 2d 1889
reads as follows:
That whenever it shall be made
to appear to the register and re
ceiver of any public land office,
under such regulations as the Sec
retary of the Interior i.iav pro
scribe, that any settler upon the
public domain under existing law
is unable, by reason of a- total or
partial destruction or failure of
crops, sickness, or other unavoid
able casualty, to secure a support
lor himself, herself, or those de
pendent. upon him or her upon the
lands settled upon, then such reg
ister and receiver may grant to
such settler a leave of absence
from the claim upon which he or
she has filed lor a period not ex
ceeding one year at any one time,
and such settlers o granted leave of
absence shall forfeit no rights by
reason of such absence; Provided, j
That the time of such actual ab
sencc sliall not bo deducted from
the actual residence required by
law.
And the provision added there
to by the amendatory act is as
follows:
That it any such settler has here
tofore forfeit ted lus or her entry
for anv of said reasons. such per
son shall he permitted to make
entry of not to exceed a quarter
section on any public land subject
to entry under the homestead law
and to perfect title to the same
under the same conditions in ev
ery respect as if he had not made
tlie former entry.
No party will be allowed to make
a second entry under this act, un
loss his former entry is cancelled
for anv of the causes named, aris
ing before December 20 1594.
The applicant for such permis
sion to make second entry will be j
required to liie in the district lund
office having jurisdiction over tin*
land he desires to enter, an appli
cation for a specific tract ot land,
and to submit testimony to consist
of his own testimony*. corroborat
ed by the affidavits of disinterest
ed witnesses, executed before the
register or receiver or some officer
in the district using a seal and au
thorized to administer oaths, set
ting forth in detail the facts on
which lie relies to support his ap
plication, and which must be suf
ficient to satisfy the register and
receiver, who are enjoined to ex
ercise their best and most careful
judgment in the matter, that his
former entrv was in fact forfeited
by reason of his inability, caused
by a total or partial destruction or
failure of crops, sickness, or other
unavoidable casualty, to secure u
support for himself or those de
pendent upon him, upon the land
settled uppn.
The facts to be shown embrace
the following, viz:
1. The character and date of
Ihe entry, date of establishing res
idence upon the land, and what
improvements were made thereon
by the applicant.
2. I low much land was culM
! vuted by the applicant, and for
what period of time.
3. In case of failure or injury
to crop, what crops failed or were
injured or destroyed, to what ex
tent, and the cause tfiereof.
4. In case oi sickness, what
disease or injury, and to what ex
tent the claimant was thereby
prevented from continuing upon
the land, and if practicable a cer
tificate from a reliable physician
should be furnished.
