Permanent school rusd Loans.

LAND COMMISSIONER RUTH Is sending
out circulars to the Board Of Invest
ment OF the permanent school funds Of
counties, which state that at . meeting
OF the Board of School and Public
Lands 1t has been decided to loan the
permanent school fund upon real estate
at 8 per cent net to the State. The
boards are authorized 10 make loans on
school bonds or real estate ut the rate
above designed. Counties wanting
money to invest will make application
for the same to the Commissioner under
the seal OF the county. The rate fixed
by the board heretofore has been per
cent on real estate net to the State.
The per cent. Is the lowest rate that
funds can be loaned for according k
tho constitution. The county boards
can make . higher rate and pocket the
difference. All the board asks Is that
it receive the per cent. Probably
most of the counties will demand :
higher rate TO pay for their trouble In
handling the money.

seq.e, to an Old story.

-
A PETITION has just been filed In the
County Court at Aberdeen asking for
the appointment OF an administrators in
the matter OF the estate OF Joseph 3.
johnson, deceased.
johnson was the first white settler in
Brown County. He located about two
miles southeast of Columbia, and exper.
fenced considerable trouble with the
famous old chief, Drifting Goose, who,
with his band Of hostile warriors, was
determined not to allow any white man
In that section Of the country. In the
fall of 1879 johnson was brutally mur-
dered by Brave Hear, . tramp Indian.
between Fort Sully and the agency at
Standing Rock. lie had on his person
nearly $500 in money, which was
taken by the Indian assassin, together
with saddle horse, watch. gold rings,
etc. The body was found by an old
scout called Texas" who was carry
ing the mail from the fort to the agency,
and who is now resident Of lie Beau,
In Walworth County. Brave Bear was
arrested in the vicinity Of Fort Sisse-
ton and taken to Yankton, the capital,
where he was tried, convicted, and ex-
ecuted. 1t Is difficult to believe that
these things occurred less than thir-
teen years ago in region which now
views the Indian as sort OF curios-
tty. and which has every comfort and
many advantages at its very door.

The temperature was considerably

however, been made In wheat and oats

considered, not over half has been com-

Is done. 1t Is believed, however, that
up to Friday and Saturday, mild and

How to Clean Eronzes,

A lady who has had some expert
ence in cleaning ornamental articles in
bronze says: "Do not put vinegar on
bronze. Vinegar or water takes the
bronzing off if imitation and affects
the gloss OF real bronze. The safest
thing is pure salad oil, lightly rubbed
on, the dust being all removed first,
then rubbed off with soft cloth and
afterwards polished with channels.
Another way is to plunge the object in
boiling soapsuds, then in pure boiling
water. Afterwards expose the article
to the air, ard when it is dry rub it
very lightly with q leather on which a
little whiting has been rubbed. l be.
lieve rinsing the articles in beer, after
having washed them in soap and wat.
er, is very good. The beer should not
be wiped off, but allowed to dry on in
a warm place. But prefer the salad
oil to any other application"

One Should Be Fed and 'Tother
kiiled--Some Testimony,
4, l recall five days of March, 1891.
when Is different trapops were ar
ra'gned. To my surprise, nearly every
one related a similar experience, and
l was convinced that their stories
were true. As general thing the verv
poorest peop'e, they said, cheerfully
divided with them of their meaoer
stores, and frequently invited them to
sit at their tables and often ated
them as guests. Persons who lived in
comfortable and modest houses--sel-
dom turned them away without food,
but at these places they were rarely
invited indoors. But there WAS nor
one rich man in so who would give a
tramp q bite-except that of bull
dog--and rich women and their serv-
ants invariably slammed the door
IN Their faces. Several of them testi-
ned that they had been driven from
the doors OF rich mems houses with
clubs. and q number Of them, when
questioned as to the reasons assigned
ior a refusal to support them with
tood, said the invariable reason was
that they could not afford it.
These stories told on different &C.
caslons, without collusion in q
modest and respectful manner, with
out the slightest evidence of ill-will to
anybody, with no reproaches for any
unklndness, and with grateful ac-
knowledoement of every benefaction,

ness and truth.
l have often wondered if after all it
isn't easier work to feed a tramp oc-
cas'onally than to weary yourself
throwing him over the fence or pursu-
ing, him with a club; and wouldn't
1t be cheaper to feed an occasional
tramp than continual bulldog, orto
