PoTHENVEREIN SPLIT UP.
German Dem0crat-Citizens' Club Or.
ganized with q Large Member ship.

The Pothenverein has. lost its pothensy-so
to speak. Last night saw its finish, when
126 members of the yerein, met at the corner
of Dale and Minnehaha streets and formed
the German Democrat Citizens Club Of the
Eighth Ward <-5.t 90
, The club has been in existence for some
time, and it's officers were active in the
Kiefer campaign. The members did not like
the action Of the officers, but it was thought
better for social reasons, not to wrest the
organization from them. Last nights meet
ing was called for the purpose of organizing
new club, and just 120 members OF the
old club were present ' -
The meeting was enthusiastic, and the senti-
ments expressed by the speakers were APP
plauded to the echo. Among those who ad-
dressed the meeting were Matthew Homer,
Frank Klein and Mat Bautz.
A resolution passed embodyfng an In
vitatien to DR.. Schifmann. r. S. MeNamee.
Anthony Yeorg and Mat BantZ to meet the
club Saturday night in the same hall at which

safes VIII He Held During the
Months of May and June, ana
Promise to Be Large-Dennnd
fer Lands in All Parts of the State
Exceptionally GOod-Mnny Ap-
pIfcations Received
State Auditor Dunn yesterday issued
list of dates and places where stat,
land sales will be held during next
month and June. Mr.. Dunn says that
! che states possessions in the back
woods counties are very much in de-
mand this season, owing to the large
parties of immigrants who are now on
their way to this country
The demand for land has not been
confined alone to parties interested in
colonization schemes, but there has
been an increased demand from the
farmers themselves wishing to enlarge
and extend the limits of their farms.
Although the sales could not be ar
| ranged in time to enable farmers to
put In crop on such lands purchased
from the state. they would, however. be
able this year to harvest a crop of hay.
which, judging from the present mar
ket price of the product would net a
neat little sum.
T The following is the schedule ar
ranged:

Pine City. Pine, June 2 10 a. M
Little Falls, Morrison, June 4. 10 a. m.
Mr.. Dunn stated that go far as pos
possible at these sales he would en-
| deavor to dispose of the land to indi-
viduals for their own use rather than
to people who purchase it for specula-
tion
Not alone had he received applica-
lions from the northern counties, but
in the southwestern part of the state
the people had been asking for sales
for some time. In view of the fact that
no sales had been held since Auditor
Braden's term of office, he weuld. In
thte near future. arrange a scheduIs
of dates for this part of the state.
Mr. Dunn, In speaking of the sales
as conducted by his department, STATED
yesterday that it was his policy to dis
pose of state lands whenever he could.
even II he had to let them go at re-
duced price, rather than hold them in
trust for the state.
The sales of state lands reduced the
rate OF taxation for the people i'm the
community where they were situated.
Every acre of state land was in reality
a burden to the taxpayers, as no as
sessment was made against it, and the
proportion which would be assessed
against the property in case it was
owned by an individual was paid by
the people who paid the taxes.
Mr.. Dunn stated that he expected
|that the sales this year would greatly
exceed those of former years.

The Measure Presented to Congress
by Senator HansbrOugh, of North

ton of the American Flag, Under
COnsideration-AM Motion to In

The Loyal Legion, Commandery of
Minnesota at a meeting held at the
Ryan hotel last night, refused to In
dorse the bill presented to congress by
Senator HanSbrough, of North Dakota,
TO prevent the Dissertation of the Amer

At a previous meeting of the COM

appointed to consider the bill, and the
report of this committee was present.

A majority of your committee are CT the
opinion that this bill implies a state Of
things that does not actually exist, namely,
that there is among the people of this
country such lack of love and vener2t on
for their flag that they need to be
PEELED to show respect for 1t by PENAL
statute; that the bill is reflection against
the instructive patriotism and sense of pro-
priety of our people, unwarranted by the
experience Of the century of our national
existence.
The report was presented to the
commandery early in the evening and
before all of those afterwards present

adopted after short debate, and the
incident was forgotten.

Col. Kiefer has such correct idsas of
economy that Ii he had been pursuing soma
other occupation than that of running for
or filing, public Office he would still save
something for himself. Anyone who has
seen the colonel squandering his money when
there was no election knows that he is a
large-hearted man. He can count as we'll
as anyone, and for years he has been able
to order four beers without muscle culver
ing He has sehooled himself to it But
his fixed ideas on economy are not to be
doubted. Few people, however are aware Of
the tremendous power of foresight that he
combines with this gift of economy He can
look years into the future and provide for a
reduction of expenses.
Which tribute to his combined capacity for
economy and for reading the future is de-
manded by the fact that he is using the
Autograph pictures of himself Tn this cam
paign that he used III the last two campaigns
that he made for congress. They were hung
