NILE Laos LANDS FOR SETTLERS
Secretary Bliss has submitted

suggests to tie committee that

tiers on the reservation title fol-
their lands, and the representative
feels much pleased with the report
Of the secretary. The secretary
says that the Indians have, by
treaty and agreement duly OK
cuted, parted with all their rights
to the lands on this reservation.
THAT being true" he says, il
is not apparent why the equities
Of the settlers who have in god
faith gone upon these lands under
the belief that these were vacant
public lands of the United States,
and made valuable improvements
GU them, should not be respected
by the enactment of some law that
would permit such settlers to per-
feet their title to these lands.
HI says that such an act would
be no infringement upon the
rights of the Indians, and says thai
it is his opinion that presumption

move his plant from Main street, and
will have twice as much room. He
will carry on the wagon and carriage
business, making them to order and
also manufacturing lumber wagons

will employ more men. MIR. Koehne

DEMURRER OVERRULED.
Attorney Hughes Point Not Sustained
by the Court.

Judge Severance Saturday fled
decision over ruling the demurrer to
the Indictment in the case Of John
Edward Mccall. McCau's attorney,
VIM. f. Hughes, yesterday demurred
on the point that what purported to
be the forged check was Of no value
as it did not denote what First Ma
tional bank it was drawn upon. The
blank form is the one largely used,
and omits the words 'of Mankato
Minn.," as those words appear in the
date line.
The trial of the suit of the Massil-
lon Engine and Thresher Co. VS..
Jacob and John Groll, J. w. Egley
and Geo, Emerson is dragging along
slowly. Jacob Groll was on all of the
forenoon and portion of the after
noon. Objections rained in thickly
while he testified, and the case is be-
ing fought inch by inch.
1t should be borne in mind by those
who have not yet taken out their
second papers that the present term
of court will be the ]ast opportunity
for doing so in time to vote at next
falls election. Second papers must
be taken out three months before
election, so that the next term Of
court will be too late.
Mccall was brought into court again
Saturday to plead to the charge
of forgery in the second degree, con-
tanned in the Indictment, and plehded
not guilty.

LAWS OF MINNESOTA.
The PEOPLES New Law Book

1t is a matter of interest for all our
people to know more about the laws
OF our state. The publishers of the
Free Press recognizing this fact and
the benefit it will be to have copy
of this work, in the homes and bust
ness houses of Blue Earth County, has
arranged to publish such book and
will give it free to every subscriber of
the Free Press. This valuable book,
Laws Of Minnesota and Business
Manual" contains information that
should be possessed by all. 1t will be
found not only to contain review of
the laws touching the interests of the
people, but practical dictionary Of
the laws, comprehensive digest Of
the laws and legal forms Of the state.
In fact it is book that can be re-
ferred to with profit whenever law
point comes up for solution. 1t has
been compiled with great care by the
best legal talent. 1t is so we'll adapt
ed to every day life that we have no
hesitancy in saying that our law book
will be highly priced by all business
and professional men, merchants,
mechanics and farmers, for it gives
the rights of the people, which makes
it most valuable to all citizens. 1t
contains the information affecting
their relations to each other and to
the state. All our people will be in
terested in it, and one of the princi-
pal objects in sending out this valu-
able work, aside from giving a bene-
fit to all our patrons, is to increase
the popularity Of the Free Press. AS
this will be a reference work for years
to come it has been thought best to
have it contain review of the in
terests of the county and the bust
ness, commercial, manufacturing
trades and professions of the cities
and towns. 1t may thus be made a
most complete and practical reference
work which will be of interest to all.
Our representative will call and see
the business men, as limited
amount of space will be given them,
fer such representation of their bust
ness as they may desire.

Miss Clara M. Burns has received a
letter dated June 9Th from her cousin,
w. T. Sylvester, who is member of
Co H, 18th MINI. VOL, at Camp Geo.
Fl. Thomas, Georgia. The following
extracts will be of interest:
1t has been very hot and dry since
we came here, and the dust rises at
every step. June 4th, we had brigade
review. 1t was grand to see the 9Th
Penn. and the 18th MINI. march in
unison, not soldier of the 1000 men
out of step. Our band furnished the
music. I have not heard a person
criticise the 18th MINI. Everybody
has praise for the Minnesota boys.
We are inspected or reviewed nearly
every day. We are expecting orders
to move soon, for they would not be
so particular If we were not going to
be moved soon. Every gun that is
not just right is condemned, and we
get new one.
All our officers rank high in the
army. The 5th Penn. is in our
brigade. The 1st Ill. were here but
now have gone to Tampa. We are
with good regiments. The 5th Penn.
was at the Homestead strike, and the
5th Ill. was at the Pullman trouble.
They are all good men and under.
stand what is wanted of them. We
have skirmish drill every day, and
sometimes advance guard drill.
