Minnasnta SMamn Lands.

The secretary of the interior has rendered
another decision affecting the validity of the
field notes of surveys of public lands in Min
nesotu, by which the state secured q large
amount of alleged swamp lands. Margaret
s. Spence applied to enter the northwest
quarter dissection 30, town 63, range IL,
Duluth land District but was met with the
protest from the state that those were
swamp lands and belonged to the state. A.
hearing was bad; and it was shown that the
lands were high dry and even hilly. The
comm: m:ssioner of the general land Office
affirmed the decision that Spence should
take the land. The state appealed to the
secretary, claiming that the government
could not go back OF the field notes. The
secretary, quoting from the old decis-
ion of Minnesota against Lachance,-
showed that while the state might
elect whether it would select its
lands from field notes of the surveys or by
selections by agents, the government retained
the right to overturn the field notes and re,
survey the ground il it saw fit In this case
the secretary decided that the field notes
were false and fraudulent and that the lands
are not swamp lands. He allows Spence to
complete her entry This is but one of two
or three cases which will lead up to an entire
resuryey of the al eyed swamp lands in the
northern part of the state. 1t is alleged by
officials of the general land office that great
frauds have been perpetrated in noting
swamp lands and that the goyergment can
only protect itself by resurveys. The secre-
tarv of the interior has dismissed the appeal
of the Northern Pacific road from the de-
cision allowing William Daw to enter a
quarter section in section 13, township 1884,
range Al, Fergus Falls land district The
land lies within the indemnity limits of the
Manitoba and Northern Pacific roads

fore the fire department could get to the
ground the building with its valuable ma

A fatal wreck occurred on the York river
branch of the Richmond < Danville railroad
about two miles above West Point Va. The
heavy rains washed out Il culvert aud a part
of the dam between the tank pond and the

buried under the cars and killed. The en-
gineer named Lynch, was terribly scalded,
but managed to crawl cut o. the wreck.

cago, Milwaukee L st. Paul freight cars
When they were arrested the matter was un-
der consideration, and they had not got to

but O'Brien said the idea was to fasten
timber upon the rails in curve south of the
city, and in the confusion following the de-
railruent to get away with as much plunder
as possible. Whether they were really equal
to the execution of such diaholiCal piece
OF business or not, they will probably remain
for some time where they can do no harm,
as they have confessed to having robbed

implicated another man, James Cooper,
who is also under arrest. Cooper was re-

fore the death of her brother Miss Alexander

her urging her not to marry and leave her
parents. He agreed to pay her an addti-
onal $40, 900 If she would remain with her

promise she shipped her lover and the
wedding was declared off Miss. Alexander

father and mother in their declining years.
The old people outlived their son, and are
both still alive and enjoying good health.
Up to his death Alexander did not even keep
his promise to pay his sister the $1,000 u
year. She received nothing. Alexander
made no provision in his will for the pay
ment of the 81, 900 year or of the $4,000
conditional upon her staying with her pare

$41. 800 but Judge Clifford has decided that
the plaintiff was not entitled to recover the
$4,000 until the death of her parents and
entered judgement against E. s. Aexander's
estate for the balance.

Wou Kwang Pei, formerly of the Chinese

The president appointed Joel B. Erhardt
collector of customs at New York, and Cor

This is the reason they were made. There

felt very kindly toward Capt. Beecher, there
upon appointed him a special agent of the

alleged opium smuggler, was arrested at

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, April A.
Ex-Gov. Ordway intended to start for Bis
marck to-day, but was detained by the illness
of member of his family. He will start
Saturday without fail. Ordway says he is
going to take charge of the operations for
the organization of the new State of North
Dakota and see it safely through the consti-
tutional convention before he begins his
campaign for the senatorship He is full of
cheerful confidence as to the territory's
future and his own. Gen. Harrison Allen of
Fargo, who has seen good deal of Ordway
since he has been here, follows him West one
day later, laevng Washington Sunday. Da-
kota people here believe that Ordway and
Allen have made a combina'io ion to capture
the North Dakota senatorship, and state that
this combination may be the means of a
powerful syndicate to be formed later for
the control of the election of the officers of
the territory generally; what "Cal" might
call band wagon.

which he would offer to appear at the assize
court, and meet any charges that might be
brought against him in a proper and legal

Entire Wheat as Food.

Lawes and Gilbert investigated this
subject several years ago, and conclud-
ed that more nutriment was lost to the
human system by the clearing action OF
the branny particles than was gained
by their introduction. AS a laxative
the coarse flour is not without hmita-
tions. 1t is not uncommon for those
who have long used graham as a prin-
cipal article of food to become depen.
dent upon rectal injections. Many nice
breakfast dishes are made from the
entire wheat, whole, cracked or ground,
and their occasional use is often found
agreeable and beneficial. AS for sub
stituting them altogether for fine flour,
it appears TO me to be truer food econo-
my to leave the outer shell of the
wheat for the ruminants Used with
caution, and upon competent advice, il
is undoubtedly valuable as q remedial
agent; but the unqualified recommenda-
tion of any curative agent, however
simple, and its hit-or-miss application
to all sorts of persons and conditions,
seems to me less dangerous but quite
as irrational as the calomel and blood
letting treatment of former days.-New

Minnesota Irnn Lands.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, April 4
Secretary Noble has affirmed the decision of
the commissioner of the general land Office
in the land cases of Svend Oleson, E. F. Krel-
witz and Fred NJ. Krelwitz against Charles
Fielder, james Wegner and Frank Lakewitz
and the Minnesota Iron company. The lands
involved are iron lands on the Vermillion
range. E. F. Krelwitz and an agent of the
company hired the three last named men to
enter these lands for the company, paying
them 1925 apiece. The improvements were
made, and at the end of six months final
proof was made and the entries transferred
TO the company. Krelwitz fell out with the
company, and got a relative and Oleson to
contest the entries As q result the entries
were Cancelled. The company took an ap-
peal to the secretary, who to-day decided
that the company had no standing in this
case, and that the entries should be can
celed
