POIETS FOR LAND SEEKERS. Leogal Status of the Oitizen Who Reaoches Oklahoma. WHERE THE OLD SOLDIER STANDS Resume of the Laws Bearing Upon the Methods of Taking Up Claims and Holding Them, The Land Laws, Mr. George B. Everitt, attorney of Beat- ricry Nebraska, sends Tre Bee the following resume of the law with refercnco to the opening up of Oklahoma. It will bo found ©of special wterest at this time. Mr. Everitt was, for five years, register of the United States land office at Mitcholl, Dakota, and s therefore thoroughly conversant with the subject. No paper in the west has, up to this timo, publishud a comprehensive statement of the procedure necessary to secure home- steads under this law. Theinformation here prosented will be invaluable to those who in- tend secking homes in Oklahoma, WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES, Section 13 of the Inaian Appropriation act passed by the last congress, rendsas follows: That tho lands acquired by the United States under said agreement shall be a part of tho public domain, to be disposed of only ns herein provided, und sections sixteen and thirty-six of each township, whether sur. yey or unsurveyed, are hercby reserved for the use and benefit of the public schools, to be established within the limits of said lands under such conditions and regulations @s may be hereafter enacted by congress, ‘That the land acquired by conveyance from the Seminole Indians hereunder, ex- cept the sixteenth and thirty sixth sections shall be disposed of to actual settlors under the homestead laws only, except as herein otuerwise provided (excopt that section two thousand three hundred and one of the re- vised statutes shall not apply): And pro- wided further, That any person who having attempted to.” but for any cause, failed to sccure a titlein fee toa homestoad under existing law, or who made entry under what is known s the commuted provision of the homestead law, shall be qualified to make a homestead entry upon sad lands: And pro. vided further, That the rights of honorably discharged union soldiers and sailors in tho late eivil war as defined and described in ions twenty-three hundred and four and twenty-three hundred and flve of the re- vised statutes shall not be abridg: ONE-QUARTER SECTION EACIL And provided further, That each entry #hail be 1n square form as uearly as practic- Bble. and no persou be permitted to entor more than one-quarter section thereof, but until said lands are open for® settlement by proclamation of the president, no person | be permitted to_enter upon and occupy the same, and no person violating this pro- yision shall ever be permitted to enter any of said lands or acquire any right thereto. ‘Ihe secretary of the interior may, after gaid proclamation and not before, permit entry of said lands for town sites, under sec- tions twenty-three hundred and eight and twenty-three hundred and hiy- ulull of the revised statutes, but no such entry shaull embrace more than one-balf scetion of land. That all the foregoing provisions with ref- ;rn-mru 1o lands to be acquired from the Sem- nole Indians including the provisions per- aining to forfeiture shall apply to and regu- late tho disposal of the lands acquired from the Muscogee or Creek Indians by articles of eession and agrecment made and concluded at the city of Washington on the nineteenth ay of Jauuary in the year of our Lord fhteen hundred and eighty-nine. Under the act, actual settlers can bowes and farms in Oklahoma. TIE PROC 3 to secure homesteads under this law must be ascertained from the rules and regulations of the general land office, prescribed to give orco and effect to the general homestend aw of 1802, and from the essential requisites nd directions laid down by the homestead aws referred to by section 13, above quoted. SThe original homestead law confers the fomestead right on “every persou who is at he head of a family, or who has arrived at he age of twenty-one years and is a citizen of the United States, or who has filed his declaration of intention to become such, as wequired by the naturalization laws.” Section 13, under consideration, provides thut the right of honorably discharged Union soldiers and sailors in the late civil war, as defined and described in sections 4 and 2305 of the revised statutes, shall not be ®bridged. These sections are here given, thut these rights and privileges may be clear- appreciated and the law understood : WHERE TIE SOLDIERS COME IN. Section 2304. Every private soldier and oficer who has served in the army of the United States during the recent rebeilion for pivcty days, and who was Lonorubly dis- charged and has remained loyal to the gov- rumeot, including the troops mustered into he service of the United States by virtue of the third tion of an act approved tebru- mry 15, 1862, and every seaman, marine, and ficer who has served in the navy of the nited States, or in the marine corps during the rebellion for ninety days, and who was honorably discharged and bas remained loyal o the government, shall, on compliance with the provisions of this chapter, as hereinafter modified, be entitled to enter upon and recoive | patents for @ quantity of public lands not exceeding 160 acres, or one- uarter scction, to be taken in compact orm, according to legal subdivision, includ ing the alternate reserved sections of public fand along the line of any railroad or other public work not otherwise reserved or ap- Ppropriated, and other lands subject to entry nder the homestead laws of the United tates. B3ut such homestead settler shall be allowed six months after locating his home- secure stead and filing his declaratory statement within which to make his entry and com- lement and improyoment. The time which the home- stead settler has served in the 1y, navy or vine corps shall be deducted from the gime heretofore required to perfect title, or, if discharged on account of wounds re- geived or disability incurred in the lino of duty, then the term of enlistment shall be a;anlur\ml from the time heretofore required perfoct title, without reforence to the length of time he may have served. But no patent shall issue to any bomestead sottler who has not resided upon, unprovad and cul- tivated his homestead for a period of at Jeast ono yi after he shall have commenced his amprovements, THE BOLDIERS' ADDITIONAL. The advantages these sections present ovor the general homestead 'aw are: 1, The privilege of filing a declaration with the r pgister and receiver which will hold a lected in person or by an agent, for six months, without entry, residence, or cultiva- tion. It has been held by thé secrotary of the interior that the soldier must make his entry and establish his residence vithin the six months from the date of his xx claration papers. 2. The right of making fual proof before the end of tho usual five ears' residence, at least one year's actual znnu fide residence and culuivation of the homestead is required of soldiers and sailors, ‘The soldiers’ additional howmestead law gives gho right to onter 80 much land as will make 100 acres, where an entry for a less quantity was made prior to Jutie 22, 18743 but con ress hos ently extonded the benefit of iis et to every homesteader without regard to date of original entry No land scrip of an, Oklahoma, The widow of a soldier, it unmarried, or n case of her death or marriage, his winor orphan chiliren becomes entitled to his ights aud benefits under the homestead W, o securo the claim they wust strictly comply with the requirements of the law. THE ACY, OFENING OKLAMOMA to settiement further provides: That any poerson who having attempted to, but for #ny cause failed to secure a title in feo to a Bomesteud under existing laws, or who made entry under what is known as the commuted provision of the homestead law, shall be fualificd to make a howestead entry upon #oid lands. This is one of the most import ant .~luu-u of the entire act, for it brings tho 3““ »st secker after a home in Oklahoma in cct conflict and competition, with the pfessionul land shark, and confers unde ved credit upon this latter class, 1t says Ar B, that if you have made au eniry @er the homestead law, and sold your relin guishment for any sun of money, you may ko another claim in Oklahuma, or if you bandoned your entry and it was cancelled gnd' @u honest contest, you may likewise ave the privilege of selling or lewving an- @tber claim theve; and even if you have re- liind can be issued in ocivod, under the homestead law, 160 acres of land, you may have the opportunity of do- priving some man of a home in Oklahoma, who has never yet received the slightest bon- efit from the homestead law. The schooled observer finds himself unable to appreciate such generosity as that, at the hands of con- and this action 'explains why there ,000 claimants for the 10,000 quarter sections of land in tho reservation. nder the homestead law a right toa claim 18 iniated either by settlement upon it or by entry for it made at the local land of- fice. TR ENTRY OF THE CLAIM is constructive notice to all the world that it has been taken for a homestead and is no longer subjoct to entry, while an actual sc tlement upon the land serves the same pur- pose. But tho settlement must be of such a character as to identify the clairiant with the land and impart addi- tional valuo to it. The entryman has six months, from date of his entry, to establish his residence on the land, while again, the actual settler must make his claim of record, by entering the land, within ninety days from the date of bis settlement. For illu tration: Say that A B, and C D, on the day of April, enter the land office at Guthrie at the same time and present to the register their application for the northeast quarter of tion six, township 100, range sixty. What is to be donet The applications arc simulta neous ana the right of entry shoula be sold to the highest bidder. If, however, there is any difference between the terms of the applications then the ‘“first in time is tho first in rignt,” and first applicant will hold the land. But in the evening of that day, while A 13 is waking his entry at the land office, C 1) was making his settlemant upon the land: now, when C D offers his entry papers he is told by the register that the land as already boen entered by A B, and that two entries cannot be made for the same claim, he will have to reject his application, C D then alleges that he segrogated the land by his settlement before A B did so by his entry. Again in this case ‘‘the first in time will be THE FIRST IN RIGnT," and the register aud the ceiver will have to order a hearin that this issue of fact may be legally and equitably decided. An aggrieved party has y days within which to appeal from the s of registors and receivers and sixty days within which to appeal from the com missioner of the general land oMice to the secretary of the interior. 1% is perfectly evident that under the above circumstunces, itwould be bettor for A. 1. and C. D. to compromise their honest differences by cach taking half of the claim than to enzage in expensive litigation. 'This can be done by the entryman relinguishing 80 acres for the benefit 51 the actual settler. who, thereupon, makes his entry for the same. Does the law require the continuous pr ence of the homesteader upon his land! This is an important question for imperativ necessity will require many settlers to leave their homes this summer to obtain the means with which to improve their land and koc the wolf from their doors. Having once gone upon the claim with the intent to make it his home and having shown the intent by actually ESTABLISHING A the honest settler SIDENCE ON THE LAND an leaye it for the pur- pose of making a living or to meet the exigencies of ~ business life. Under theso circumstances he leaves with the intent to return to the and and this intent makes it his home. An absence of six months, howevor, from his claim raises a presumption of abandon- ment and the claim is subject to a contest for this cause. Residence cannot be established and maintained by proxy. Meagre improve- ment and occasional visits to a claim do not establish nor maintain a residence. One must take the land in good faith for a homo and fora farmand must occupy and must use it as such, This requirement of the law is easy for an honest farmer to comply with while the land-grabber finds it exceedingly annoying aud difficult. There is no provision in the act of congress under which town sites can be legally located in Oklahoma and the sale of town lots to innocent parties is flagrant fraud. There is no machinery in Olklahoma, nor will there be until provided by congress, through which the town site scction of the law can be made to operate. ‘Che homesteader should know accurately the description of the claim on which he settles; that his papers presented to the local land office are absolutely correct and then should be prepared, if necessary, to defend his rights before the general land oftice and the secretary of the interior. This is all that he can do for himseclf and all that can be done for him, T. GRAN StEwArT, M, D,, F. R. S. E., ordinary physician to H.

Fancy Canines Draw Crowds to the Bench Show. RECORDS OF THE MARKSMEN, The Base Ball Season to Open With a Band Wagon and Afl Accesso- ries—Minneapolis the First Victim, The Bench Show. The attendance at Manager Ingram's bench show yesterday was very large, considering the weather, and of all the peo- ple who were there, it is safo to say not a single person went away dissatisfied. The display in rare and beautiful dogs surpasses anything of the kind ever secn in this part of the country, and a half-hour spent thore is & half-hour profitably disposed of, indeod. The arbiters were appointed yesterday af- ternoon, aud the dogs will bo judged Friday, the last day, when the prizes will ulso o awarded. The attendance of ladies and children was very large, and it would bo difficult for them to find a more pleasant or interesting resort. Thnero are splendid specimens of dogs here of all classes and strains, and the opportunity afforded to study their respective points and characteristics is a fine one, In the ubsence of a kennel club in Omaha, or even a sporting contingent who cared to cembark in an enterprise of this kind, Mr, Ingram has taken the task upon himself, and most admirably too he has succoeded. 'To suppose that he is to do all this for the glory there is in it, isdiotic. He is the only man in the city who has sought to give an impe- tus to the breeding of fine dogs in Omaha, and in fact is about the only man thoroughly qualified to engineer such' an undertaking, and the lovers of the genus canine are lib’ erally and _properly attésting to their ap- preciation by extending to him their liberal onage.

DIED FOR HIS LOV The Melancholy Termination of a Young Man's Life. Daniel E. Rohan, a young man apparently about twenty-one years old, committed sui- cide in Ewall's lodging house at 1107 Farnam stroot. He came to Omaha last Monday from Carrol, Ta., where his parents resido, and, according to a postal card found among some lettors on his person, the decoased uad ar- ranged to go into business with Roscoe M. ‘Wier, of 220 North Sixteenth street. The supposition is that Rohan had beon disuppointed in love, and so brooded over the matter that death was decided upon to atford him relief. ‘Tuesday D. O'Neill, a friond of Rohan's arrived here, and slept with him Tuesday ight. Both arose botween 6 and 7 o'clock in the morning, dressed and left the room together. O'Neill then went outdoors, and while he wa gone Rohan went back to the room and shot himself in the head, just be- hind the right ear, with a 35-calibre revoiver. As 800n 8 tha roport was he: body in the houss rushed to the locality whenes the report came and, in Rohan’s room,on the edge of the bed, they found the victim lying dead.

He still grasped the revolver in his hand, A bundle of letters was found on the bed beside him. One of the missives was addressed to his father and another to tho police authorities, notifying thom where to telegraph to apprise his folks of the rash act. In this package was a postal card to Wier, saying: “1 can't become your partner as agroed.” our or five shocts of letter paper were covered on which he had commenced to write to o girl whom he addressed us “*Dear Frieud Emma,” but could not nerve himself to do it. On another sheet were three or four lines to Thomas B.
