would not act in such an important and
far reaching matter without competent
legal authority and this no doubt can be
furnished at once. The purchasers Of
the lands of course look To
the state to protect their titles that
are rendered invalid by the illegal sale,
It such it prove to be. 1t has been sug-
gested that a future legislature would
have the right to legalize the sale, but
that is question perhaps for the courts
to decide. II the charge be true, it will
prove source Of great uncertainty to
those who have secured valuable lands
at low price. with long time and easy
payments.
The total number of acres of school
lands sold to date, including the alleged
illegal sale OF 1892, is e9,s78 53-lOO acres.
The average price per acre was SO. So.
The total amount of the sales is $1,744,-
75O. so.
1t will be seen that twice as much land
was sold in 1892 AS in 1891, and no doubt
the lands were the best lands IN the
state. These lands are lntrinsically
worth more than $40. .53 per acre, and
many people believe they would
bring in few years at least $50 per
acre, and that they are worth s75. Should
their full value be secured for the state
it will be just so much more to the credit
of the school fund, and great source of
benefit in reducing the school taxes of
the future.
There ls said to be at present large
sum of money in the state treasury to be
loaned out on securities prescribed by
law, the interest Of which should be ap-
piled to the school fund.

To Help Famine Sufferers.

A mass meeting was held in the Opera
rink last night, to express sympathy for
the sufferers by the Russian famine.
Rev. VIM. Glbb was chairman. Rev. Mr..
Teall led in prayer. Among the speakers
were, B. S. Bussell, Attorneys Camp
and Hamilton, Judge Rose, Postmaster
Smith, Rev. Father Connolly, Rev. Mr..
Ryan, Rev. Mr.. Harvey, Rev. Mr.. White
law and J. p. Baker. 1t was pointed out
that the widespread destltution and
suffering which exists in Russia Is a
calamity which the people could neither
forsee nor avert. Already the govern
ment of Russia has spent los million
dollars in measures of relief, besides the
remittance of taxes amounting to large
sum. Yet thu need for charity was as
great az ever, IA millions were living
on charitable aid doled out to then from
day to day. II citizens needed anything
more than the teaching and example of
Christ to show them their duty
towards their suffering brothers
and sisters 10 this great calamity, they
might recall the fact that during the war
Of the rebellion. when the existence Of
the Union was imperiled. Russia stood
by them as a friend and refused to &C.
knowledge the confederate government.
When that disastrous fire occurred
which in one night left thousands of
fellow citizens in Chicago homeless and
involved a loss Of ninety millions Of dol
lars, contributions from Europe poured
in freely for the relief of the destitute.
They only need to know some of the facts
regarding the extent and severity of the
distress which at present existed in Rus
sia to feel that here was a loud call for
sympathy and help.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That in response to the ap-
peal OF Gov. Burke, Judge Rose (chair-
man), Anton Klaus, w. NJ. Lloyd, E. w.
Camp. L. T. Hamilton, and Father Con-
molly form a central committee
to solicit and receive contributions from
the citizens Of Stutsman county, for the
relief OF the sufferers by the Russian
famine.
At the close of the meeting $92 we're
subscribed, with some contributions in
-four.

the bare ground of the guard tent and
while he lay there preparations were going
forward to make the last state of the
guardsman, who called for three cheers
for an anarchist assassin, considerably
worse than the first, though the first was
thumb hanging.
Colonel StreatOr drew up formal re-
port of what had been done, and added a
recommendation that Private Iams be dis
honorably dismissed from the service.
This morning, bright and early, an or
derby crossed the river on the Little Bill,
walked through the silent works and
climbed the hill to General Snowden' S
headquarters In his belt were Colonel
Streator's report and recommendation
with Colenel Hawkins approval Endorsed
thereon. He found the General burning
an after breakfast cigar in his favorite
seat on the shady side of Carnegie school
house.
Silently the general read the papers,
and then entering headquarters wrote and
signed the order for Private Iams dishon-
orable discharge. Then he handed the
papers back to the orderly and in the
same low, quiet voice in which he had re-
ceived the brass band delegation of ctiz-
ems, said: ''Orderly give Colonel Hawk
ms my compliments and tell him also TO
shave one side of this man head.
''Shave one side of this mans head, .

a smile, as he acknowledged the orderly 5

Once again the tenth regiment was order

avte Iams was marched to meet it from the
guard tent. Then the adiutant stepped to
the front of the color company and in Il
clear voice read the whole Of the proceed
ings beginning with Colonel Streatol's re
port and ending with General Snowden $
order. Back to the guard tent went Pri-
waite Iams, where his uniform was shuck-
ed off him as quickly as Anarchist Berg
the day before. In place of his blue and
brass, a straw hat, pair of overalls and
a shirt We're given him, and the regiment
al barber was sent for.
He drew an imaginary straight line
down the middle of the skull of what had
been Private Iams, from the forehead to
the base of the brain, and with pair of
clippers neatly reduced good head of
hair to close single. Then he lathered
the shinge and with a few scrapes of his RAJ
zor left the right side OF the head of what
had been Private Iams as bare as the palm
of his hand.
Then the drum corps was ordered out,

Outbound.

A lonely sail in the vast sea-room,
l have put out for the port of gloom.
The voyage is far on the traekless tide,
The watch is long, and the seas are wide.
The headlands blue in the sinking day,
Kiss me hand on the outward way.
The fading gulls, as they dip and veer,
Lift me IA voice that is good to hear.
The great winds come, and the heaving sea,
The restless mother, is calling me.
The cry of her heart is lone and Wild
Searching the night for her wandered child.
Beautiful, wearless mother of mine,
In the drift of doom / am here, am thine.
Beyond the fathom of hope or fear,
From bourne to bourne Of the dusk l steer
Swept on IN the wake of the stars, in the
stream
OF rowing tide from dream to dream.

The Rule of the Sea.

1t is rule of the sea that vessel at
anchor is helpless, and is entitled to he
treated as such by all other craft. 1t is
incumbent on vessel at anchor in fog
to give warning by fog signals, ringing
her bell or blowing her whistle at inter
walls of at least once a minute. 1t will be
incumbent on the owner of the yacht
Alva, which was lying at anchor when
the Dimock collided with her, to show
that she was conforming to these rules
and if this is shown, the loss sustained by
the sinking of the Alva will doubtless
fall on the owners of the Dimock This

The rapid growth of population at the
West is astonishing, and is illustrated by
the experience Of st. Louis. That city
now manufactures more shoes in month
than it used to turn out in year in the
7Os, and even during the early part of
the SOS. This does not reduce the ship
ment from Boston. During the first six
months of this year more than 1856, 600
cases were sent to st Louis, an increase
of more than 80 per cent. as compared
with 81. st Louis now imports more
shoes from Boston than do Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati combined.
This goes to show that the population is
rapidly increasing for people must have
shoes.

Heroes have been found at the throttle

the wages of the skilled laborer and of the
unskilled laborer, as truly as between the
prices of two grades of cotton cloth. If
the first is cut down, the other, too, must
come down. If labor is thrown out Of

and confesses to having more money IN
vested in iron and steel works than he
wishes he had. said to some friends to-
day: ''We learn from the newspapers that
some of the striking mill men earn as
much as Is a day. These are the rollers.
The statement falls short of the truth, for
many men in my employ at similar work
have earned so and $40 day. and they
can do it in evening dress without soiling
white gloves. They are skilled men in
their line. Upon their skill depends the
merchant ability of our product, and it
is costlier to put inexperienced men in
their place than it is to pay them $40 "a
day. Still they rarely save anything out
OF their pay, and are among the most au-
tocratic and difficult to manage of any we
have to deal with. | have seen them stop
work and leave the furnace full of melted
iron, causing great loss to the mill, simp-
ly because Of a change in lengths of rolled
iron. which really enabled them to earn
more than before. | knew mill owner

be more secure as a roller than as a pro-

tee of the men, who demanded that his
son be taken out of the mill. They would
not allow him to learn their trade. The
alternative was a strike at a time when it
would have been fatal to the business. so

trade even at his fathers shop, and had
