There is much discussion at the pres
ent time as to the best way of utilizing
the school lands Of the state. While
the constitution provides for their sale,
there is a strong sentiment against
that manner Of utilizing them, and
favorable to leasing them, the state
retaining the title. An effort is being
made to have the constitution amended
so that they may be leased and not
sold.

lhere Is considerable discussion IN
eastern Dakota papers of the taxing of
farm mortgages. Under the present
system the person in whom the title to
lands is vested pays the taxes. OF
course the presumption is that the mort
gage is taxed somewhere elsewhere
the mortgage resides; but tins is
very seldom the case, and the fact
is that the person in whom the title
to lands is vested pays the taxes and
all of the taxes. OF course the pre-
sumption is that the mortgage is
taxed somewhere else where the
mortgage resides; but this is very sell
dom the case and the fact is that
the five, six, seven, or more hundred
dollars which the mortgage has loaned
and for which he gets good rate of in
terest is not taxed at all. This mort
gagee has the protection of our laws.
The major portion of the mortgages are
drawn so that the failure of the mort
gagor to pay the interest when due
makes the whole amount principal and
interest, due and payable together
with an extortionate attorneys fee.
At once the mortgagee invokes the as
sistance of the courts to foreclosc the
mortgage, and squeeze from the mort
eager the last vestige of title he has IN
the cncuirbered property, and to the
support of these courts the unfortun-
ate mortgagor has already contributed.
That is he has given life TO the very
institution that is used to deprive him
of what little he had. And the mort
gagee, has he helped to support this
court? If he lives outside the territory
he has never paid one cent towards
their maintenance. But the moneyed
men say, and they trcmble for the ca
lamity that will befall the people,i if you
tax mortgages you will drive money
away and thereby greatly cripple the
state. All bosh! With the unparalleled
security and the high rate of interest
western firm loans afford there will be
money enough. Besides it will be
good thing for the people if money
We're not so easy to borrow. More con-
servatism with less Of desire to get
rich too fast and do business on big

that put all their profits into inter-
est and taxes, depriving themselves Of

CHICAGO, Aug. Sit is very broadly
limited by people that may be supposed to
know that the a~ntagonism that has been
manifested toward the coming Grand
Army e%ncampment at Milwaukee has it's
origin in matters in no way connected
With the refusal Of the railroads to grant
a l-cent per mile trip and hat the latter
is but a tiimsy excuse. According to
these people the opposition is being en-.
gineered by individuals and elements that
are not particularly well disposed toward
Commander in-Chief Warner, and that
would be Just rs well pleased should the
encampmeat Of his administration go
into Grand Army history as a lamentable
failure. Ii is also said that much of the
trouble has been fomented by Grand
Army men who were unsuccessful in
their efforts to secure the encampment
for their w localities, and are iust as
bitter over the success Of the Cream city
as they were at Columbus a year ago. All
the advices TO date, however, indicate
that the opposition will fail Of It's object,
and that the veterans from the country
over will respond heartily TO the hos
pitablc call of Mil waukee and in doing so
reflect additional luster ON themselves
and their organization.

WINNIPEG. Man, Aug. 3.-The official
papers for the ~extradition OF Martin
Burke will arrive on the afternoon mail,
and according to the present plan Of the
Chicago police officials the alleged par
ticipant in the murder of DR.. Cronin will
leave for that city tomorrow. The idea
of engaging a special car has been aban-
doned, but the party, consisting of Burke,
Chief of Police Hubbard, Lieutenant
Ross, Detectives Broderick and Hyatt
and Officer Collins will occupy a drawing
room in the sleeping car of the day ex-
press on the St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba road. Attic boundary they will
be reinforced by two other officers and
still another contingent will meet the
party at st. Paul. With such a force no
attempt at escape could be successful,
while it is large enough to Illustrate any
effort toward rescue. Burke will be ar
raigned Immediately upon arriving in
Chicago and after being furnished with a
copy Of the indictment, will be remanded
to the jail. Efforts will then be made by
the police authorities TO induce him &c
make a full confession of his part in the
diabolical affair.

FIGURING Mills Consolidate.

DAVENPORT, Aug. 2.-The heavies.
deal in Touring mill property ever made
in Iowa was contaminated in this city to-
day, the amount involved being close
upon $500, 0C0. Deeds were filed for rec.
ord transferring to the Davenport Mills
company the Phoenix mills, the Crescent
mills and the City elevator. The new
concern will be known as the Davenport
Mills company and will control the entire
Touring interest Of this city, already much
the largest in the state. The present ca
p2City Cf the concern Is LOCO barrels a
day, and tais will Don be increased. 1t
is the intention OF the purchasing syndI-
cate to build up a gigantic Touring busi-
ness at this point, which has special ad-
v~autages for the Manufacture Of certain
BRANDS Of flour, because Of its location
midway between the wheat fields and
mills OF the forth and Of the south, and
directly On the road of the Nebraska
product to Chicago. 1t is probable, also,
tina. an effort will be made To develop the
water power which exists a short distance
above this city. While the new concern
will use largely OF the wheat grown IN
Minnesota, Dakota and Kansas, II ex-
poets 10 draw heavily upon western lows
and Nebraska for it's supply.

latter responded. The Osborne then
accompanied the H~ohenzOllern through

attire ard the spectacle was imposing i'm

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. ga rather in
teresting and sensational trial took place
in Justice Cochran's court yesterday.
Thursday Fannie Chapman, a prostitute,
invited frankie Moore, another Of the
same class, to take a drive with her.
They drove over the city for a time and
then went to West Lincoln, where they
met Jennie Snow and Jennie Rengen,
two other prostitutes. between whom and
the Moore woman there has been bad
blood. The four drove to a grove west
of town, where the two Jennies proceedt d
to pummel frankie until she was black
and blue. She had the two arrested to-
day, and they were fined $40 each and
costs. At the trial it developed that the
invitation for the ride was a conspiracy
to get the Moore woman out there and
do her up.

A Polluted River.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The condition OF
the river and lake at the present time is
attracting universal attention. A distin-
guished enginee- who has watched the
situation closely ever since the storm,
from the top of the water tower and from
the top Of the Pullman building, fur
nishes some interesting facts as to the
effect Of the wind on the spread of
the polluted water in the lake. The
constant effect since Saturday" he
says, has been the precipitation
of the city sewerage On about 100
square miles Of the lake bottom in front
of the city, where it will be liable to agi-
tation by storms, and to mixing with the
drinking waters for years to come. The
water is now certainly polluted. Chem.
ist Long has examined the water, and /
believe what he says in this res%pect-that
the water is impure All lake water
should be boiled before using. as it is liza
BILE to make people i'll, although there is
no alarming danger, as the impurities do
not exist in sufficient quantities to be
harmful to any great extent when the
river does not contaminate the lake. /

Ripple last Saturday. One of the mules
used for moving the machine was very
balky. Continual urging made the beast
more stubborn than ever, and then they
tied a rope around its tongue to lead it
along. The animal still refused to go
and the men actually pulled its tongue
along. The people of the neighborhood
were SO incensed over the matter that
they had the men arrested today.

fr g as; p Killed
tri,aoo Att. "a hofee with al
on koDie street yesterday afternoon, and
vas finally killed beneath the shadow OF
the Moody tent at Milwaukee avenue,
No tiger Of the jungle could have Gre
ated more of a sensation Oh shown a more
vicious desire to oxterminate man and
beast. Two men were bitten and eight
horses torn by the teeth Of the maddened
animal. A thousand people Joined in
the hunt TO destroy the brute. For two
hours they chased up and down the
streets and alleys, pursuing and pur-
sued.
Mr.. Erickson started to hitch his horse
10 his meat market delivery wagon in
front Of his store. The animal was of
gentle disposition, small and wi hout a
rick or vicious habit. When the horse
was led from the harm he showed signs Of
anger. Suddenly throwing back his ears
he sunk his teeth in Mr.. Erickson and
rearing struck at his master with his fore
feet. The attack caused Mr.. Erickson to
drop the halter. The instant the horse
was free he resumed the attack and
chased his master into the meat shop.
The ~infuriated beast then started south
on Robe street. He put men, women
and children to flight. He charged at
every one he CHANGED TO meet or over
take. In rushing after three ONE and
several children he ran over two little
girls, knocking them down but only
slightly bruising them. The others es
capped. one Of the women climbing q
fence and the others, with the screaming
children, ran up the steps and into the
door Of a house neal by. When near
North avenue, Conductor Duff, Of the
North avenue line, stepped off his car
and caught hold Of the animals halter.
He supposed il was simply a runaway
horse. The animal made a vicious snap
al him, catching his right hand with his
teeth, and taking out the skin and flesh.
The conductor Let 60 OF the halter and
jumped on the car, the horse biting and
striking at him.
As the horse went down Milwaukee
avenue he ran at everything he saw, and
took a peculiar fancy for attacking his
own kind. Every horse he passed, and
there were eight Of them, he nipped in
the side. He took large pieces of hide
from the ribs of some. Others he caught
where he could, but always left the mark
of his teeth. The animals thus injured
in turn became demoralized and added to
the excitement.
The police finally drove the horse from
the street TO a vacant lot. Lieutenant
Pensen made a lasso Of a clothes line.
Standing on the sidewalk he made his
throw. The line Strengthened out in
regular Mexican style and settled around
the horses hind leg. The animal started
away and the officer took a turn around
convenient post. This upset the horse
and in a moment four bullets were fired
into his body.
Conductor Duffy had his hand, which
was terribly torn, Immediately cauter-
lied. He and his family are in an agony
of fright as to the results that may fol-
low the bite. He is in great pain. Mr..
Erickson called in a physician, and had
his wound dressed. He says he thinks
the horse was bitten by a mad dog about
two weeks ago.
