OF the 33,252. Sal acres ceded by the
Indians 2S,911, 632 have been opened to
settlement, the remainder being re-
served for schools and so on. The
total amount paid for the cessions is
$25, 26l 1888: while $3,O0O,OO0 must, it is
thought. be added for the Sioux trust
fund. making S2S.261 1888. And this
last sum does not include over $12, 500,
900 more. to come out of receipts from
disposals of the lands. Finally. if from
the fixed prices already spoken of. ag-
gregating S35. 7S9.2 63. is deducted $446
256. paid on the lands up to June 80,
1896, the sum of $35 ,343, OO7 remains as
the possible net loss.
Summing up the whole matter. the
main argument for the bill is that
homestead settlers on these Indian
lands ought to be treated like home
stead settlers on previously acquired
public lands. The main argument
against it is that this bill establishes
the wrong principal of buying lands
with the money of all the people in
order to give them to a few: and that
it does this by releasing those who
wanted the lands, and still want them,
from their promises to pay for them

The pupils of the Boynton high
school, PASSPORT, recently raised SIC
for the purchase of a large microscope
for the school.
Mr.. Watkins, principal of the Old
Town high school, is making an effort
to organize a debating club among the
students of the school.
Progressive Portland has now added
new facilities for the study of French
and German by her citizens by adding
to the public library over two hun
dred volumes in these languages
The former pupils of Miss Lizzie Ma
son of Brownville, recently raised a
purse of about $40 in ten cent contri-
buttons as a testimonial Of their ap-
probation of her services as a school
teacher.
The constitution of the teachers as
ISOLATION of Caribou, provides for a
meeting on the second Saturday of
every month during the school year
All teachers in the employ of the town
are expected to attend unless excused
by the school board.
The school children in district No s.
BrooksVille, have sent out challenge
to two other schools in town which
register nearly the same number of
pupils, to see which school will have
the best report at the close Of the
term This challenge has been accept

are now in attendance, learning writ

Christian brotherhood. Stenography
and bookkeeping will also be taught.
A party who owed one of the Presque
Isle firms several hundred dollars
came ia a member of the firm few
days ago with a schedule of personal
property which he said he desired to
turn in upon his bill, and which the
merchant assured him he would be
glad to take and give him credit for.
He also stated that he wished to go to
Houlton to make arrangements to Sc
cure permit to cut lumber, the pro-
ceedS of which operation he wished to
apply in large part to liquidate the
account. In order to aid him in this
praiseworthy project for the payment
of his debt, as he said he had not the
money to buy a ticket to Houlton and
return. the merchant lent him his
mileage book. Profuse in his thanks
for the accommodation the man took the
mileage book. started for Houlton. and
on his arrival went direct to an at
torney who runs a very busy lnsol-
vency mill there, and the next word
the Pressure Isle merchant had from
him was the usual formal card notice
that he was in the legal hopper and
being ground through, having mort
gagged to the lawyer the personal chat
tells which he promised to apply to the
payment of his debt. The merchant is
also minus his mileage.
