The school Fund Question.

Inspector Wright has returned
from a trip to the Choctaw nation.
says the Kansas City Star, where
he has been in conference with the
Indian council. His trip was more
especially to investigate the status
of Indian school matters over which
he now has full control. He found
the condition peculiar. The school
funds are theoretically community
property and each child is entitled
to an equal share. Instead of car
rying this out in practice, however,
some of the Indian children are
drawing as high as $3.50 year to
pay tuition in eastern schools;
others are not getting over $40 as
their per capita in the district
schools. These latter schools Mr.
Wright found TO be very poor.
His solution of the question will
be to apply all of the school funds
to the district schools and eudeavol
to increase the efficiency.

A Brutal rIurdercr.

On the night of the 11th Robert
Brown, farmer living near Slick
Rock, KY, went to his father-in-laws
home, Lewis McClelland, with
whom he had been. on bad
terms for some time, and told
him he had come to settle all
differences. Mrs. McClelland begged
him to leave, but he would not and
continued quarreling. He finally
shot and killed McClelland. He also
tried to shoot Mrs. McClelland, but
she ran to the home of her son-in-
law, Layton, near by. Brown then
shot and killed Bertha McClelland,
the 12-year-old granddaughter of
Mrs. McClelland. He then startedin
pursuit of Mrs. McCl slland and shot
her fatally while she was standing
near q window. The son-in-law,
Layton, was wounded with the same
load. Just then Will McCIeliand, aged

Strange Tastes.

One day while at Versailles during
the French war Lord Odo Russell went
to call on Bismarck, but found him
closeted with Count Harry Arnim, who
was known as the "Ape, from his fam
tastical ways. Before long Arnim came
out, tanning himself with his handker-
chief and looking as il about to choke.
"Well, {" he gasped, "I cannot under
stand how Bismarck can bear that
smoking the strongest Havanas in q
stuffy little room. had to beg him to

When Russell entered the room, he
found the chancellor tanning himself
beside an open easement. "What strange
tastes some people hayel' heexclaimed.
"Arnim has just been with me, and he
was SO overpoweringly perfumed that ]
had to open the window"

IN NORTH DAKOTA
DRIVES ALL AWAY.
Helmuth Schultz, in North Dakota
Not a Friendly NeighbOr.

Helmuth Schultz, in North Dakota,
Not a Friendly Neighbour.
Lisbon, N. D. In the northeastern
part of Ransom county there is a
thriving settlement Of German farm
ers, the most Of whom are now fairly
well off and prosperous. One of their
number, Helmuth Schultz, settled on
the Cheyenne river long before the In
dian title to the land had been OK
tineuished, and has been living at Il
place now called Oswego ever since.
and several years since claimed title
to some valuable timber and valley
land by prescription, that is on the
ground that he had enclosed the same
and occupied it with his family for
over twenty years. After many years
of fruitless litigation the supreme
court of North Dakota handed down a
decision adverse to SchultZ's cOnten-
ton, on the ground that. inasmuch as
Schultz had settled on the land and
claimed it as his own by occupancy
only prior to the eXtinguishment of
the Indian title, no right accrued to
him as such occupant. 10 save him
self from being d-ispossessed from his
homestead, on which he had made
valuable improvements, and from
which he had kept the rightful owner
out of possession by threats and liti-
CATION for more than twenty years, he
finally purchased the title from the
rightful owner, and then it vas sup
posed that peace would reign in this
community, for Schultz had been con-
sidered by many to be a terror by
night and by day to any one who APP
preached hear his domicile and tres
passed on land to. which he claimed
title, but the developments Of the past
few days seem to indicate that he still
considers himself monarch of all he
surveys.
William Henschel, who resides at
Claffee, Cass county, N. D., claims to
own some land in the same section on
which Schultz lives, and adjoining
his, and that he went there to show
the land to Frank NJ. Probert, n Pho
neer in these parts, and n of the
first commissioners of Ransom county,
and that while there he and PrObert
were assaulted by Schultz with an AK,
and terribly abused in language most
vile, and that, in ~self-defense, he was
compelled to draw q revolver and
threaten to shoot his assailant unless
he desisted; but this didn't G to
brighten him, for, getting behind his
wife, who was also on the ground, he
pushed her ahead and continued to
advance on his supposed enemy.
Henschel, finding that his comrade,
Probert, had left him in the lurch,
and, thinking discretion vas the bet
ter part of valor, retreatcd and came
to Lisbon and swore out a warrant
for Schultz's arrest. A preliminary
examination before Squire Pierson re-
suited in the prisoner being committed
for trial for the assault. and also on a
peace proceeding. Bail was fixed at
$1,4cO. The defendants wife and
family now stand guard, armed to the
teeth, and it looks as If the end was
not yet.

order to initiate members last Tues

Grand Recorder Moore has received
reports from about three-fourths of
the lodges in the state and these show
q rev membership Of $50. Some Of
the lodges yet to hear from are the
largest in the state and will swell the
total number Of new members initi-
ated that night to more than COO. Since
the limitations Fargo is now the ban
ner lodge in the state, having 415
members, while Grand Forks, which
has held the record for some time, has
about 400. The Fargo members are
proud of their prominence. The Fargo
lodge initiated more members than
any Of the other lodges-5O, with
Jamestown second with 48. Noun

ty, took in 80.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements Will Be Found
Indispensable.

Some Requirements hat Will Be Found
Indispensable.
The universal article Of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able. is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only n which will
stand in that peculiar climate Of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to so to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find a solid caked mass
or a lot Of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate. and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that oil food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit. or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part Of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use Of every kind OF
supply, says: I'VE find in Alaska that
the Importance of a proper kind Of
baking powder cannot be overestl-
mated. A miner with a can OF bad
baking powder is almost helpless IN
Alaska. We have tried all sorts. and
have beer obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
expeditions, and Peary. the famous
arctic traveller. have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either ON
board ship or in damp climates. and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient of l%eavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt Of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
of the other brands of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and
trouble.

Some men have a most distressing
habit of carrying their business home
with them in the evening and lying
awake at night to think about it. This
is a bad habit which anyone with any
sort of control over himself can break
up. The conclusion of the whole mat
ter is that man walketh in a vain sha-
dow and disQuieteth himself in vain,
and the most unhappy nan is the one
who thinks everything is wrong, and
It is his especial calling to set it right.
Fretting causes u food to remain un-
digested, it whitens u locks and
makes wrinkles and imparts the BIZ
