GOVERNMENT LANDS.
Judge Burford Molds Out a Warning Against Sharks Who Are 0«t For Game.
Hon. John H. Burford, chief justice of the supreme court of Oklahoma Territory, has written a letter to an old soldier of Orawfordsville regarding the proposed opening of Oklahoma lands. It will be of interest to many who contemplate entering this land. "GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, March :?0, 1901.—My dear] old Friend—IJwas very much gratified to receive a letter from you some days since, but you will excuse delay in answering. I have been so busy in court that I have allowed my correspondence to accumulate, and this is the first opportunity 1 have had to answer. I am unable at this time to give you any definate' information in relation to the opening of the Indian lands to settlement. The matter is now under consideration by the interier department. The law under which these lands are tb be opened provides that they shall be opened to homestead entry under such rules and regulations as the President shall prescribo and announce in his proclamation. "These matters are now under consideration and no one is able at this time to determine what rules, regula tions or plans may be provided for the opening of these lands. The purpose of the law is to'avoid, so far as possible, the conditions which have heretofore existed in the way of contests and conflicting claims. "Forms for declaratory statements to be filed by old soldiers may be had by addressing the register and receiver of any United States land office, or rn application to the commissioner of the general land office, at Washington, Also information may be had from I the commissioner more easily than I from any other source. A letter addressed to Hon. Binger Harraann, commissionei' of the general land office, at Washington, will bring you any infor- I mation or blanks that they may nave which will be suitable for your use. "There are a great many persons whom I might mention who would be suitable persons to act as attorney or agent in filing your declaratory state-! ment, and then there are hundreds of sharks and robbers who are working any old scheme to rob the old soldiers and others who desire to file upon lands. There is no scheme, combination, association, society or person who can procure any advantage in this matter lawfully, and the United States attorney here is now taking steps to-1 ward procuring the indictment of a: number of persons who have been sending out circulars and letters to the effect that they ean procure homestead filings, or the location of lands either for old soldiers or for homestead applicants. The country is on a gradual steady boom, and hundreds of homeseekers are coming in every day. '"Improved lands are changing handa daily. Well-to-do farmers from Iowa, I Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas are buying these lands and coming to live upon them. Of course, none are for sale except those which have been proved up and are fairly well improved. All public lands must be homesteaded, lived upon and improved by the party before title can be obtained, and no person owning one hundred and sixty acres, or who has heretofore acquired title to a homestead, is qualified to make entry. "These lands will evidently not be opened until the latter part of July or
the first part of August, and the probability now is that some scheme for the allotment of these lands by lot or chance will probably be adopted by the interior department, and when the same is announced, it will be published in the papers generally, and you will know of it, probably as soon as we will

Damaged by Fire.
On Tuesday about daylierht as Nate Davis, cook at the Crawford, was coming to work he discovered that fire had broken out in a rear room of Russell & Martin's wool store house on east Main street. He gave the alarm and the blaze was quickly extinguished with a couple of chemical engines. It seems that the flue had burned out when a man living in a room above the wool rooms had lighted afire and the burning soot fell down and through an uncapped stove pipe hole onto the wool. Only a few fleeces were burned but it is thought that the damage from smoke will be considerable. Over 125,000 pounds of wool were stored in the rooms and on it there was $12,000 insurance. "I HAD a running sore on my leg for seven years," writes Mrs. Jas. Forest, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., "and spent hundreds of dollars in trying to get it healed. Two boxes of Banner Salve entirely cured it." No other salvo so healing. Nye & Booe, druggists.
IN the ad of Alf Lookabill & Co. on March 22 there was an error in the price quoted on a farm near Brown's Valley. It should have been $40 per acre.

rMowed Mrs.Pinkham\ Advice and Now I am Well."
A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is tlie
hundreds of thousands of women are now in correspondence with Mrs. l'inkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkliam. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this bo done in order that other women who suffer may bo benefited by their experience.
Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes:
"BEAU MRS. PINKHAM:—For two years I was troubled with falling and inflammation of the womb. 1 suffered very much with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and was not able to do anything.

REWARD
Vincent W. Clnrk.
Vinccnt W. Clark, who died Thursday of last week, was one of Montgom ery county's best citizens. A man whose life was full of energy and zeal. Ho was well known throughout the county, especially among the farmers for his ambition and good judgment carried him far beyond the ordinary in this occupation. Ho was once a prominent member of the Montgomery county agricultural society, but on account of his mature years he desired only to bo a stockholder, yet ever since he has held tho worthy position of lion orary member. I-Ie lived and worked with a system, his large farm being known as one of tho most scientific and best improved places in the county. He was married to Nancy E. llogers over fifty years ago, and they together have spent along life of business and pleasure. While they have not been devoid of discouragement and trouble, yet the father was the first of the immediate family to be taken. The five daughters have all been married. Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Say res and tho only son are at present living at the old homestead. Their congenial home and pleasant surroundings have been incentives to only increase the harmony and nearness that always prevailed in that fam ily. Mr. Clark had been afllicted wiih rheumatism for a long time and for several years had not been able to walk without the assistance of crutches, yet ho bore his affliction with great fortitude. One that lived to a ripe old age, a successful farmer, and will be greatly missed in his community.

A rlooter Coae.
The county commissioners Wednesday heard the claim of one W. J. Richards, a cobbler, who asked $100 reward for securing tho conviction of Ora L. Brown who pleaded guilty to selling his vote. He and Brown were friends and after the election Brown told him he had sold out and showed the money. Richards had him pulled the last of January and Brown did not stand trial. Richards said before the commissioners that he did it to purify the ballot but he did not stop at Brown's conviction and has been tearing about like a hen with its head ofl'to get the reward. Richards is a noisy Democrat. sv*
The commissioners after hearing the evidence disallowed tho claim, acting on the advise of county attorney, A. B. Anderson.
