DAKoTA's SCHOOL LANDS.
What Commissioner Lockhart,s he,
port Will Show.


There is no department of the state gov.
ernment in which the people have more
direct interest than in that of the school
and public lands. Commissioner Lock.
hart's forthcoming report will show:
When South Dakota was admitted to the
union the General Government made
grants To the state of 2,S4S,4SO acres Of
land for educational and charitable pur.
poses. OF this amount the common school
fund received 2.150, 400 acres, and under
these lands may be sold for less than $40
per acre, and the income therefrom is to
he invested ut rate of 6 per cent. per an
mum. The lands which have SO far been
disposed of have brought an average price
of about $3.50 per acre, and if
it is all disposed of at this rate
tile income would he yet greater.
SO far the state has disposed
OF 145, ,685 acres, leaving an immense area,
yet to be disposed of, and it will be many
years before it is all finally taken, but
with an improvement in the financial af-
fairs of the country there is but little
question that the sales would soon reach
point where the income from the fund re-
ceived would keep pace with the needs of
the state for school purposes. While the
fund does not yet cut much figure in the
reduction of taxes, there was distributed
among the schools. in the apportionments
made December l5, 1895, and June II,
1896, $l.35 per capita, OH a school popula-
ticn OF 104, ,O29.
The money which goes to the school is
that secured from the interest on money
received from the sale of school lands, and
from the leasing of lands yet held in the
name of the state. At the present time
the state has invested in the various coun-
ties in real estate loans and school bonds,
S623, OH .53, the county securing the largest
amount being Union with $780,
Naturally the sales of lands have been
principally in the older counties of the
southern and eastern portion of the state,
and while most of the lands have been
disposed of in several counties, only one
i'll which all of it has been sold is Clay, in
the southwestern portion.
Besides the common school fund, the
office has the management of about 700, 900
acres of land for the benefit of the various
state educational and charitable institu-
ti0ns. This land was not granted to the
state in specific sections, as was the school
lands, and it was necessary for the COM
missioner to select the acreage granted
from any unappropriated public lands in
the state. OF this amount there has been
been selected up to the present time over
62O, 900 acres, most of which has been app
pOrtioned to the various institutions which
are to be benefited.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR COMMITTEE
WATCHING THE SALOONS AT
NIGHT.
MAYOR DORAN's HESITANCY
WHILE HE PROTESTED SIN
CERTIFY.
Which Violate the
Law May BE Proceeded Against
by Private Citizens.

1T now develops that while the
Christian Endeavor society committee
did not intimate to the mayor that his
assurance of liquor law enforcement
during the encampment was not suf-
HcieEt, they kept watch after midnight
during that week, and are in a position
to make things very embarrassing for
the mayor in the event that he should
appeal to the church people for support
in any future campaign. Prior to the
encampment, it will be remembered
the chairman Of the Christian citizen
ship committee of the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor union of
the city, appointed a committee of nine
TO wait upon the chief Of police and
mayor. The latter agreed that the
saloons should be closed as usual.
though he argued with the committee
that 1t would be wise to do the opposite.
On this point. special committee
was appointed to again visit the mayor,
and still the chief executive agreed
that all the saloons should be closed.
This committee had in it's membership
Walter G. Fordyce, and Deacon"
Wilson, president of the Christian Citi-
zenship league. Their visit to the city
hall was productive of practically the
same result as the visit of the first
committee, the mayor promising that
the saloons should be kept closed after
midnight during encampment week the
same as at other times.
Still the people behind the movement
were not satisfied and during the week
committee made observations during
the wee, small hours, with the result
that the mayors stimulation of aggres-
slve enforcement of the law was clearly
betrayed.
The matter has since been discussed
In the body which gave birth to the
committee, and While in the present
exigencies of the case, pulpit agitation
would be of no avail, apparently, the
mayors lapse is being treasured for
future reference
The committee will continue at work,
watching pseudo-restaurants where
the law is violated.

TONNES SUIT is FILED.
Nothing Is Stipulated About an I'm.

Charles A. Towne filed his COM
plant yesterday in the suit for libel
which he has brought against the Dis
patch Printing company and George
Thompson. Mr.. Towne demands judg-
ment for $4,000 damages for alleged
libel
The complaint consists chiefly of
quotations from the alleged libelous
article published in the Dispatch Aug
Y, 1895. Among the expressions quot
ed are the following:
The ink was not dry on his
(ToWne's) certificate of election before
he was in Montana arranging terms
of complete surrender of his princi-
Pies, If he had any, to the silver miners
and bullion spectators, in whose in
terests his whole time in congress has
been spent
Charles A. Towne presents the very
apotheosis of brazen effrontery, shame
less apostasy and normal obliquity.'
In another paragraph Mr.. Towne is
characterized as the Benedict Arnold
of his party, who lacked the mental ca
paclty of the distinguished traitor. but
possessed all his moral defects.
The complaint characterizes the fore
going and other statements in the arti-
Gle referred to as false, ,1efamator1
and libelous, and charges the defend
ant newspaper with knowledge that
said assertions were false and defam-
atory and with having published such
assertions for the purpose of defaming
ana 1nJuring his character Wherefore
Mr.. Towne demands Judgment for the
sum of SIS, 000

rlson and j. L. Washburn, of Duluth.

J.. j. McCardy, the auditor Of the COM

II. w. Philips, the receiver of the
Auditorium, made a formal application
before Judge Kelly yesterday forenoon
for an order authorizing him to sell
the building and it's contents. Receiver
Phillips satisfied the court that none
of the creditors, except two non-resi-

provided reasonable figure could be

PAIR OF CAMPAIGN SONGS.

Two of the best campaign songs
which have come to our desk are writ
ten by Mrs. John Quincy Adams, of ST.
Paul. One of these, Onward March"
a solo for medium voice with a chorus
for mixed voices, is an exquisite thing
in martial music which is sure TO at.
tract much attention. 1t is intended
as q marching song. The chorus reads:
Sing, my lads, of love that needs creation !;
Sing Of men whose valor made the nation.
Comrades, sing on hill and prairie sunny;
Sing hurrah for Mac and honest money.
Both these songs are on sale by w.
J. Dyer & Bro.
The other song, a solo for medium
voice with unison refrain or chorus, is
entitled 1.-THE Popocrats are Coming,
Boys" 1t is musically very strong and
especially adopted for male voices. The
chorus for this song is:
There's no more work for Jack and Gill;
There's no more climbing UP the hill;
But dollars rolling round our feet
