MlnnesotA Cancelled.
WAsHTNGToSv ApriTS5.-The commits
sioner OF the general land Office has
sent a letter to the officers of the Mar
shall land Office directing the ~cancella-
ton OF the states claim TO ON $1,000
acres Of land In the old Henderson land
district which was selected by the state
under the swamp land act. The lands
are located in every county in the Third
congressional district. They had been
entered or sold prior to 1850. when
the swamp act was extended to
Minnesota, and the claim Of the state
all these years has simply been . cloud
on the title of the lanis now all occu-
pied by farmers and many Of the de-
scriptions being highly improved. The
state has never pressed it's claim and the
cancellation is part Of a general move
in the land Office to clear its records.
A portion of the presumption entry OF
Mr.. Archibald Phillips in town 63.
range II, as<oss Vermillion lake from
Tower, is he,d for cancellation, as the

The Massachusetts, legislature is con
sidering a referendum" amendment to
the constitution. 1t has been recon-
mended by the committee on proposed
legislation, audit should be submitted to
the people there is little question about
its adoption. Such an amendment
would be a severe blow to the boodlers
who get into the legislature, as the
most important laws passed must be re.
ferred back to the people for adoption
before they go into effect. With such
an amendment a seat in the Legislature
would be worth very little TO the sand
Dagger and promoter of legislation.

Bitterness. engendsred by q motion by

MAcKISAw, April 5.-The propeller
Minneapolis went down OF McGilpins
Point IA $50 N. m. In 20 fathoms Of
water. Captain Bogard and the crew
of 15 reached shore in safety. The Min
neapolis was d wooden propeller Of
1,O70 tons, owned by A. Parker Of De-
troit. She was rated Az, was valued ct
$50, ZOO, and insured for $4S, 100.
When the disaster occurred
she was on her way from Chicago
to Buffalo laden with $4,000 bushels
Of grain. 1t Is supposed that the heavy
gale that was blowing from the south
west swung o mass Of ice against her
side, staving o hole large enough to sink
her.
The steamer State OF Michigan of the
Grummond line went on Kencsha reef,
90 miles north Of Alpena. Tugs have
gone from here to pull her Off, and as
she lies in still water, 1t is thought she
will not be badly damaged.
The owners had yearly policies on the
feet which did not expire until April
10. This was the reason why the boats
were sent ont so early in the season, al
they could then get to Buffalo. discharge
their grain cargoes and lay mp Cor better
times without paying additional in.
urance. The loss must therefore 60 on
the already over burdened account Of
last season on the books of the insurance
companies.

for wheat and barley in all the northern

knew a man who lived on the outskirts
Of my town who could throw stone
with more accuracy of aim than is dis
played by most sportsmen with . rife.
The man was a perfect giant physical
". He was good deal of hunter,
using stones as his only weapon to
bring down the game. He had large
leather pouch attached to one side of
his coat, in which he always carried .
good supply of carefully selected mis-

no small quantity of game, such as
quail, rabbits and squirrels, He could
kill bird on the wing or rabbit at
full speed almost - easily as 1t rest
One of his fayorite methods for display
