Com missioner Naii's Work.

Land Commissioner Nall closed the
month of January with II total OF Is, a0a
worth of lands sold, which amount has
been paid into the State treasury. The
sales were: Forfeited tax lands, 81, 800,
swamp lands, 81, $40; Chickasaw school
lands, $l,575; Lowry Island lands,
$3.50. The land commissioner has also
paid into the treasury on account Of
patent fees and other fees OF his office
collected for the month of January the
sum of $50. This amount alone is
more than sufficient to pay the ex-
penses of the Office for the month, and
in addition the State gets the taxes on
the lands sold during the coming year.
A striking feature of the land commits
sioner's report is the heavy sale OF for
feitcd tax lands. These are lands
which went back to the State because
the II did not think them worth
the taxes at the time they were for
fcitcd. As the lands were forfeited
more than two years ago, the purchase
of them now indicates an increase in
value.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Farmer Vote Decreasing.

The State auditor has completed the
distribution Of the school fund. The
delay in the distribution has been
caused by the failure of the counties
and separate school districts to make
their reports of poll collections. The
auditor has to deduct the polls from the
amount pro rated to each county and
district. The total poll collections for
the year 1898 gives some interesting
comparisons. The total collections for
the counties for last year were sisa,
900. II and for the year 1897 they were
$l15.la1.9l, a falling off last year Of
$l..lal.7A. This falling off means that
there are some 5000 or 1000 less quail.
ned voters in the counties than there
were in 1897. The poll tax is g., and
the sherif's commissions have also been
taken OFT the foregoing figures. In the
separate school districts. on the other
hand, there has been an enormous In
crease in the number OF polls paid, and
consequently "A large increase in the
number of voters in the cities and
towns.

END OF LITIGATION.
Sioux city and Northern Will Be Up
In Court Oct. 5.

Sioux City, Sept. 27.-The Sioux City
& Northern receivership, almost the
last of the big litigations growing out
of the failure here in 1893, win be
closed up at the federal court session IN
this city commencing October 8. A fore
closure would have been ordered long
ago but for the tangle of legal proceed
ings between the bondholders and the
unsecured creditors represented by the
Credits Communication Company, of this
place. These suits have now all been
settled in the bondholders favor and
no reason remains for further delay
in the final order.
The Sioux City & Northern was con-
structed during the latter SOS by the
famous railway syndicate which OPP
Grated on so magnificent scale during
the palmy days of the boom. After 1t
had been finished between Sioux City
and Garretson, S. D., it was bonded to
the Manhattan Trust Company, as
trustee, for 100000. In 1898 it col
lapsed during the financial crash and in
October OF that year Samuel ]. Beals
and Judge Warwick Hough were APP
pointed receivers. Under their manage
ment 1t has been very prosperous. But
for the bonded indebtedness and a
lease requiring the payment OF an an
nual rental of $1,000 for the use Of the
terminal facilities here 1t would always
have been paying property. Even
with these handicaps It has been &c

road for a long time.

Great Western at Oelwein. He arrived
here about 6 O'clock last Monday night

He had on three pairs Of trousers and
in each of the other pairs was con-
siderable money which the robbers
failed to discover. After the man was

shut. He was so badly used up that he
could not open the door. Some train
men heard him grooming in the car at
Nelson and an investigation led to his
discovery. A physician was tele-
graphed for from Dixon, but as none
could be secured the injured man was
taken to Chicago.
