FALLS MORRISON M1NN, FRIDAY NOVEMBER
THEY ALL WANT IT.
The Democrats Already After the
POstmastership.

From Fridays Daily.
There is much speculation among
the unterrifed, of the city as to who
will get the office of postmaster when
the new administration steps into
Office on the fourth of next March.
A number of names have been
mentioned in connection with the
berth, and several are already laying
their wires to get pull so as to
secure the appointment. A number
OF prominent Democrats have ex-
pressed their preference for j.
Simmons who has been q life long
Democrat and who has been
influential in local Democratic circles
for years.
> William A. Butler also hasastrong
following, and there are many who
would be pleased to see him get the
appointment. Mr.. Butler belongs
to the younger representatives of
Democracy, and they think that it
is only just and proper that the
younger element should be recognized
There are a number of others,
many of them in fact, who are will
ing and anxious to serve their
country in the capacity OF drawing
good salary, but the two named
seem to have the call on the ma after
at this early date.

MILE Laos LANDS.
The Only Valid Claims Are Those That
We're Initiated Before
July 4, 1884.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Now 12.-Act-
ing Commissioner Stone, OF the gen
eral land office, today rendered an
important decision in reference to
the Mile Lacs reservation lands,
He holds that under the law and the
ruling of the secretary OF the interior
the only valid pre-emption claims on
the reservation are those initiated
prior to July 4, 1884. When the con-
test of the Northern Pacific against
Walters was decided, Sept. 3, 1891 +,
Secretary Noble said that the lands
were not subject to disposal bet ween
July 4, 1884, and Jan. l, 1889, and
that under the law the lands must
he divided into pine lands and agri-
cultural lands; that the pine lands
must be sold at auction and the
agricultural lands disposed Of under
the homestead act, with the addi-
tional requirement OF the payment OF
81 .25 per acre. Last April the secre-
tary informed the commissioner that
lands formerly occupied by the Mile
Lacs Indians could not be disposed
of under the general land laws, but
under tho special act of Jan. IA, 1889.
The claims Of the following parties
are held for cancellations: David
Haverstock, John c. Mcqueen, Nath.
aniel Hayerstoch, Johnathan Havcr
stock, Charles Malone, E. +. Red
dings, Alvin Barret, John Haggberg

Grant, William Baker, E. f. Talbert
NJ. Phalen, Frank w. Hankinson,
Nj. Curlie. Alfred Fink, E. Bacod
w. A. Wallace, John Bartlett, JOhl
McCarty. The parties have'60 da!
in which to appeal.
Acting Commissioner Stone ais
decided in favor of Garrett G. Fo
and against f. Nicholson, both {
whom had claimed q track Of land
the Mile Lacs reservation. Fox ha
taken the land as homestead an
Nicholson as a pre-emption.
Senator Washburn's joint resOl,
tion which passed congress just b
, fore adjournment protects thos
homestead settlers who took the
land on this reservation during tt
period when it was open to settl
ment under Il mistaken ruling of ii

HOW IS 1T DONE.
The Manner of Swindling Country
Banks by Forged Drafts.

The Pioneer Press in speaking Of
the manner in which the st. Cloud
banks were victinized makes an eX-
pose of the method commonly pract-
ised as follows:
"Mrs Murphy is a member OF Il
noted gang of swindless who have
been travelling mainly through the
west. They are clever and plausible
and their victims are generally the
country banks. Their method is to
obtain a draft for small sum from
an Out-Of-tOwn bank on it's New
York correspondent. From this
genuine draft they have forged dupli-
Gates made. The genuine draft, OF
course, goes through all right. Then
the bogus drafts are presented, and
the swindlers having established a
sort of credit with the genuine draft
and being sufficiently well known tC
be identified bv the country bank
the bogus drafts on the New Yort
bank are generally cashed without
question.
"Some New York bank every littl'
while will receive III it's mail from ;
western correspondent bank bogu
draft drawn upon the New Yorl
bank and which has been cashed b.
it's western correspondent. O
course the loser in this case is til
country bank which has cashed
for the swindler, not the New Yor
institution upon which it is drawn.

MINNESOTA Is ALL RIGHT.

Knute Nelson after one of the most
magnificent canvasses in the states
political history, appears to be elected
governor of Minnesota by from
15,O0U to 10000 plurality. Despite
the fact that the consolidated energies
of the opposition were directed
against him, and gave him the most
bitter antagonlsm in the history of
Minnesota elections, Nelson apparently
has run ahead of of every other
candidate on the ticket says the
Minneapolis Tribune. Donnelly fell
down woefully, and seemingly has
not received over 60 per cent Of the
vote given S. NJ. Owen in 1890.
Nelson swept the strongholds of the
third party in the wheat districts of
the Red river valley with fine
pluralities. Elbow Lake and
vicinity, which, according to opposi-
ton talk, was to have punished
Nelson for seizing the the bully of a
gang Of disturbers, gave Nelson a far
higher vote than any other candidate
on the ticket.
Six out Of the seven congressman
which Minnesota will send to the
Fifty-third congress promise to be
Republicans. Their names are
Senator Tawney, in the First
district; Prof. McCleary, in the
Second; Col. Kiefer, in the Fourth;
Loren Fletcher, in the Fifth; Judge
Searle, in the Sixth; and Represent
ative Feig in the Seventh. Editor
, Joel Heatwole, of Northfeld, has
made a vigorous and effective
campaign against odds in the Third,
and may yet pull through, although
returns at writing point to a slight
. . plurality f>r Congressman Hall.
: Whatever the outcome, Heatwole has
( made a gallant and able fight, and
has held up the banner of Republi-
canism with credit to himself, his
district and his party.
Last but by no means least, the
b legislature is with strong probability
e Republican. --latest returns indicate
