MONEY FROM A NEW SOURCE
State Gets Some Rental for Use of Its
Penitentiary Lands.
PAYMENT FIRST OF THE KIND ON REco1D
aand Commi issioner Wolfe Turns into
the Treasury Two Hundred Dol
lars Received from Lcssees
of state Domain.

LINCOLN, July 9.-(special)-The state
etil owns some fractional pieces Of peniten-
tiary land, amounting in all to about &c
acres. located in Lancaster and Seward coun-
ties. For the rent Of part Of this land
for this year the commissioner Of public
lands and buildings has just received $20I50
In cash and note for equal amount This
cash item has been turned into the state
treasury, and is said to be the first money
that was ever paid into the treasury from
the commissioners office. The report of Com
missioner Russell recently issued shows that
during his term 5000 was derived from the
rent of penitentiary lands. but the report also
shows that this money was used for postage
and other incidental expenses of the office,
so that 1t did not go direct to the treasury.
The report says that by reason Of using this
item of cash and exercising economy in va
rious ways there was at the end Of the term
about 1000 of the school land expense fund
left over, which had during former terms been
entirely used up. Prior to Mr.. Russell's term
there Is no record that any money was re-
ceived for the rent Of the penientiary lands.
The Board of Educational Lands and
Funds met today and passed upon the delin-
Quent school land leases in eight counties,
with the result that large acreage was
cancelled and added to the amount now open
for new leases. The following Is the list
cancelled today, with the acreage previously
vacant and the total now open for lease in
each or the counties named:

A party of relic hunters, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, recently landed on the
leland OF San Nicolas and discovered many
relics, which they brought back
The Clemente went after the party last
channel was unable to effect a landing until
yesterday. The party found eighty-seven
skulls buried in the sand OF the island. but
were only able to secure three entire. They
made one excavation twenty feet square,
in which they found nine skeletons in a
crouching attitude, as though men, women
and children had been buried alive In am
other place they found the remains of hun
dreds of bodies that had been burned, and
some Of the party believe that cremation
was practiced by the ancient people Of the
island.
Positive evidence was found that the is
land was inhabited by two or more different
races in the dim past, one OF which was of
giant size, a peculiar characteristic being
gigantic jawbones. Some of the specimens
of the latter brought by the party are al
most large enough to slip over the head OF
an ordinary man. MIR. Longfelow the
leader Of the party, speaking of the trip,
said:
"One OF the most interesting relics
brought back by us was part OF a skeleton
of a large man in whose bones long bone
spear point was sticking In the shattered
skull was a big round stone used a war
implement. The spear passed near the heart
and entirely through the shoulder blade
am sure that two different races fought
and died on the island, as most of the
bodies were of moderate size while some
were almost giants. The latter were al
ways in isolated graves. We found many
implements and weapons OF stone. but all
very crude and show almost no ornamental
ton"
Mr.. Longfellow says the island in large
part along the coast is sand and powdered
she'll. which the Indians in some way made
into cement This they nodded into various
utensils which are far harder than basalt
On the island are hundreds of small red
foxes. The only other creatures are two
horses and flock of 500 sheep.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. July 19.-The
championship contest at the interstate drill
was opened today by the Thurston Rifles of
Omaha, who drilled this evening They put
up fine drill though the impression is that
they stand but little chance of winning
first prize. The company step was a trife
slow and the file cltsers were a little care
less. Early in the drill Captain Foye and
the judges held a consultation over the pro-
gram while the company waited There is
much speculation as to the cause and a
rumor is current that the captain misin-
terpreted the program. After the Thurston
drill the Morton Cadets were made favorites
In the betting of to 2. The Zouaves fol-
lowed the Thurstons on the field and put
up splendid drill though the Nicely
zouaves are still favorites. The weather
today was good and the attendance at the
drill was large
The judges today decided to hand the
program to the captain five minutes before
their companies were to drill and will not
allow either officers privates of COM
peting companies to witness the drill of
rival companies.
Captain Foye suffered from a slight
indisposition Saturday but was well to-
day and in good form for the strug-
gle, which promises to be a captains
battle from all surface appearances. The
Rifles have been assigned the finest quar-
ters in camp in beautiful grove of pecan
trees, with the river and bathing pool not
100 feet from the rear of the tents They
have an invitation from Brigadier General
Richard Cooke, commanding Second brigade
to attend reception at his quarters Tues
day evening and have accepted. The Rifles
have received very courteous treatment all

Messrs. Crosby & Rich were tried in police
court yesterday afternoon on the charge of
selling impure ice in violation of a city ordi-
nance. The testimony was about the same
az introduced at the trial some time ago.
The attorney for the defense submitted to
the court a statement OF a chemical analysis
of the ice made in May and June which
showed that the ice sold was above the
standard so far as albuminoid impurities
were concerned. He further showed that ac-
cordng to the standard required by the ordi-
nance only two ice companies in Omaha would
be allowed to sell City Attorney Montgom-
cry conducted the case for the city and in
troduced witnesses to show that Crosby &
Rich sold ice after having been notified to
stop. The testimony was all presented to
the court during the afternoon and the at
torneys will argue the case today.

The Thurstons presented a fine appearance
as they entered the beautiful Maverick
| mansion and marched through the spacious
Railways in "a true. military style. You
needn't tell me those fellows can't drill, "
said one of the old guards as he noted
their step so steady and true. When the
boys entered the parior they were met by
array of beauty that would cause a faint
heart to quail, but like true soldiers they
passed through the ordeal band of good

floors were cleared for dancing and it was

The angels that bring healthy, happy
children into the world are the angels of
health and contentment. Children reflect
their parents, particularly the mother.
She is responsible for what they are -
for what they do. She is responsible if
they are puny, sick, weak useless, miser-
able. 1t depends on her health Her health
depends on her care of it. If she is strong
and healthy in wonanly way, she will
have strong healthy children. She NAV be
sick or well-it is a matter of choice She
can be we'll if she wants to. DR.. Pierce's
Favorte Prescription will make her well.
1t is the only positive, permanent, infallible
cure for diseases of the organs distinctly

FATHER MURPHY GOES To Seward.
Carrying out the Decision In the
nonacum Case.


TECUMSEH, Neb., July 19.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-On point in the decision of the
apostolic delegate in the Bonacum versus
Murphy and Fitzgerald case just settled was
that the priests were to be transferred from
their present missions TO others equally
good in this diocese. Nor we're the selec-
ions left to the arbitrary judgment Of the
bishop, but had to be acceptable to Fathers
Murphy and Fitzgerald. In conformity with
this part Of Martinellis decision number
of misoions were suggested and Father
Murphy selected that of Seward, while
Father Fitzgerald chose the one at Grafton
Father Murphy has arranged to so to the
scene of his new labors within few days
having preached his farewell sermon at St
Andrews church yesterday. A general re-
ception was planned for the reverend gen
tleman tonight at his home and the citizens
turned out enmasSe, regardless OF religious
Affiliations, to pay their respects to this
greatly beloved pastor and generally re-
spected citizen. The spacious house and
lawn were crowded. Refreshments were
served. Father Murphy was the recipient
OF many congratulations on the victories he
won in the recent settlement OF his con-
troversy and given many words OF encour-
agement to follow him to the new work he
Is about to assume. In his removal from
Tecumseh citizens realize that they Will
lose one Of their most desirable citizens and
a man who was ever striving for the promo
tion of right and Justice among all classes
of his fellow men.
