Pro vided; that all set'ers upon the public lands whose claims have been initiated prior to the passage f this act may change such en tries to homestead entries and pro ceed to perfect their titles to their respective claims under the home stead law, notwithstanding they may have heretofore had the bene fit of such law, but such settlers who perfect title to claims under tie homestead law shall not there after be entitled to enter other lands under the pre-emption - or homestead laws of the United States. Sec. 3. That whenever it shall be made to appear to the register and receiver of any public land olfice, .under ' such regulations as the secretary of the interior may prescribe, that any settler upon the public domain under existing law is unable by reason of "a total wr partial destruction or failure of crops, sickness or other unavoid able casualty, to secure a support for himself or herself, or those de pendent upon him or her upon the lands settled upon, then such regis ter and receiver may grant to such settler a leave of absence from the elaim upon which he or she has filed for a period not exceeding one year at any one time, and such settler so granted leave of absence shall forfeit no rights by reason . of said absence.

Sec 5.

Dated March 4, 1889." VIRTUE'S REWARD. "Honesty is the best policy," and is always sure to be rewarded. Oftentimes it is like virtue, "has its own reward," but a pure con science is something that no money can buy. This, however, is rather cold comfort to those persons who, tn a fearful struggle "with the evil one, overcome temptation and do an honest act. A person who is honest in order to secure a reward 19 not deserving of what he seeks to obtain, for at heart he is insin cere, but, nevertheless, it does no particular harm to encourage hon esty whenever an opportunity may arise. This is probably realized by the man who picked up' $31,000 that was lost in the New York post office one day last week. For tunately for the owners he hap pened to be the . "one out of a thousad honest men," and he car ried the package around the cor ner to the Merchants' Bank of Canada and restored it to its right ful owner. His action was all the more commendable, as he examin ed the package after picking it up and discovered that it contained $12,000 in bank notes and a certi fied check for $19,000. Any ordinary person "would gladly have rewarded the honest man with $500 and considered himself in luck to secure its return at that figure. But apparently the officials of that particular bank are not ordinary persons. In feverish haste they counted the money, asked the man a few searching questions,' and then actually gave him $5. Who can better realize the reward of virtue than this man? One of the finest opals in the country is worn on h s cap by the Chinese Minister at Washington. It is as large as a pigeon's egg, and is surrounded by diamonds. The value of th$ cap,, with its orna ment, is placed at $5,000. Pitcher's Castoria, Spring Disorders Shattered nerves, tired brain. Impure blood, debilitated system, all are the natural out come in the Spring. A medicine must be used, and nothing' equals Falne'a Celery Com pound.

Greenleaf, Burling ton, Vt, writes: "I have used Palne's Celery Compound on several occasions, and always with benefit. Last spring, being very much run down and debilitated, I commenced taking it. Two bottles made mo feel like a new man. As a general tonic and spring medicine I do not know of its equal." r JXOJx. IT IS EASY TO THREE-YEAR-OLD RECORD, 2:42.

Two Texas women are the larg est individual sheep and stock owners in the world. One of these, the Widow Cllahan, owns 50,000 sheep, and when a long train of wagons starts out each spring and tall lor market loaded down with the wool of her sheep it is a sight worth seeing. The other is Mrs. Rogers, the herd owner of south western Texas, who is worth about a million dollars. Mrs-. Iiogers owns no carriages, preferring to ride on horseback in the free and easy style of. the cow-boy. OREGON RAILWAY& NAVIGATION CO. "Columbia River Route."
