POINTER TO M'KINLEY.
Nebraskn's Governor Urges Discharge
of All Volunteers.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1S.-Governor
Poynter to-day sent a letter to President
Mckinley, in which he urges immediate dis
charge of all volunteer soldiers in the army.
Governor Poynter suggests d plan by which
this may be done 1t is that the President
ask permission from Congress to recruit an
army especially for such service as the vol
would in no way interfere with the increase
and organization of the regular army.

and irreconcilable differences of opinion
which exist in regard to the necessity for
the increase of the regular army should not

NEITHER DEAD NOR ASLEEP.
Secretary Cages View of Financial
RefOrm-Extra Session Possible.

hefOrm-EXtra Session Possible.
CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-Secretary of the
Treasury Lyman ]. Gage and Mrs. Gage
were in Chicago to attend the funeral of
DR.. J. H. Etheridge. Before leaving for
Washington to-day Secretary Gage said:
Financial reform is neither dead nor
asleep. The extraordinary prosperity of the
government finances and of the business Of
the country has combined with the glut of
important business increases to delay It, But
the delay only adds to the sense of it's i'm
portance and makes it clearer every day
what legislation is needed. l do not look
for action at the present session of Con-
gress, but l have no doubt that the next
session will give effect to the recommended
tons of the President and the secretary of
the treasury in regard to the retirement
of the greenbacks. viii there be an extra
session OF Congress? That depends the
fate of the army bill. If Congress does not
pass that bill at the present session, there
will certainly be an extra session. The situa-
ton in the Philippines does not give US any
uneasiness. The opposition to the American
occupation is entirely the effect of manipula-
ton. The leaders have temporarily misled
the people. But the strife will soon be over
and as soon as the natives have become
quiet so as to listen to reason, we have no
fear that they will not acquesce in all that
we propose to do there. AS to the islands
being heavy tax on this country. that is
all mOonshine. The revenues of the Philip
pines will be at all times ample to defray
all possible expenses of government We
feel even more hopeful in regard to Cuba
Industries are reV1Ving, there is a growing
spirit of cooperation and the island will in
the near future be more prosperous than it's
people ever expected it could be. Our trade
relations with Canada seem to be difficult to
adjust to the satisfaction of both countries
Mr. Charlton would sweep away the nation
al frontier and make business intercourse
as untrammeled between the two countries
as it is now between our own States. But
think the day is a good way off when such
reciprocity as that will be regarded with
favor in this country.

LINCOLN DAY.

died away, the Worldwide empire Of Charles
V, Phillip II and of Ferdinand and Isabella
had vanished. 1t had become a mirage of
history. The guns Of Dewey against the
Spanish fleet made us a world power, the
guns of Dewey against the assaulting hordes
Of Aguinaldo have made clear the pathway
for Philippine government. The unknown
Dewey of year ago has taken his place
among the foremost naval heroes of our
time. and as we think of his treatment of
delicate complications with Germany and
with other foreign nations. and with the
Spaniards and with the natives across the
sea, we are obtaining clearer vision of
great American statesman.
I'VE look back over the past to wonder
and rejoice at the settlement of the recon-
struction problem--the greatest ever forced
upon a government coming out of a civil
war. We look at the events of to-day. and
see that reconstruction so complete, that
Union and Confederate. federal and rebel
are emuous only as to which shall more
gloriously serve the flag of the Union. We
look forward to the future with confidence
and hope, for the Nation which recon-
structed itself out of the ruins of civil strife
will successfully solve the problems of the
expansion of its territory and the extension
of its power.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

CLEVELAND, o.. Feb. 13.-Jacob Ger
brandt. night fireman at the Hunt stamp
ing works on Hickox street. near Euclid
avenue, was found dead in the boiler room
OF the plant early to-day. having been
stabbed through the heart. The case is
shrouded in mystery. The motive for the
crime was evidently not burglary, for Ger
brandt's watch and money was found on his
body. Appearances indicated that the muir
dered man made valiant struggle for his
life The only clew found was a woman
knit fascinator, which was lying near the
body The opinion is advanced by the no
lice That Gerbrandt may have been holding
a clandestine meeting with the woman. and
that lover or husband witnessed the meet
ing and killed Gerbrandt. The murdered
man was forty years old, and had a wife
and three children.

Public Schools.

The area Of the State of North Da-
kota is 1882 square miles. One-eight-
eenth Of this vast domain was granted
to the state by congress for the sup
port Of public schools. This would
amount, in round figures, to 1,130
square miles, aggregating over $4,000
acres. These lands cannot be sold for
less than $40 per acre. Those sold
have averaged upwards Of $40, being
those in the settled portion Of the Red
River valley, largely. The principal
arising from the sale Of these lands can
never be depleted. Only the income
can be used. The funds arising from
their sale is invested in state, county,

STATES CLAIM TO GREATNESS.
Not Confined to Its Celebrated
Wheat-Pcculinr Adaptability
for Mixed Farming.

The foundation OF the wealth and
prosperity of North Dakota is in it's ag-
ricultural products, the development Of
which is still in it's infancy, and the
possibilities Of our agricultural inter-
ests are m unknown quantity. So rap
i'd has been the growth of North Dako-
tn and so marvellous the yield Of cere.
ais that the great trade ccnters have
not ceased to wonder at the new factor
in food productions. 1t will be seen
that in 1897 there were over 1907 1897
acres under cultivation, out of q total
of 47,3GO,O 900 acres of land in the state,
producing nearly 81. 100000 bushels of
small grains, not including divers other
products Of the soil.
North Dakota has attracted attention
by producing a wheat that is a grade
unto itself-No. I haru-famous all over
the civilized world as making the best
flour v known. North Dakota not
only produced bread for it's own people,
but sends millions of bushels of the
bread-malling cereal every year to feed
the hungry people of other lands
North Dakota's claims to agricultural

growth Of wheat. 1t produces corn

THRIFT, PROSPERITY, MORALITY
AND INTELLIGIENCE.

The commissioners to the worlds
fair, from twenty foreign countries,
and speaking sixteen different lam
guages, took a look at the farming
districts Of Minnesota and North Da-
kota during the harvest Of that year,
as guests Of the Great Northern rail-
way. They were not only surprised at
the agricultural thrift and prosperity,
but equally wondered at the great pro-
portion Of educated and cultivated
men and women everywhere in the
city, village and household, a most
favorable comparison against country
life in European countries. The secret
Of this is that the newer portions Of
the American Northwest have been
largely made up of transplanted COM
munities. The railways have taken
the people there by the wholesale. The
Red River valley and other sections
Of the Northwest country know but
little of the frontier life that lasted for
a generation in the valleys of the Ohio
and Mississippi before the era of rail-
ways. The new Northwest has been
occupied by people who have come
from the centers Of civilization and
have brought their civilization with
them. Then again they are more re
spective to the latest developments OF
that civilization than are many com
munities in the East as evidenced by
daily papers, water works, electric
lights, ETC., in towns much smaller
than any in the east where these com
forts are enjoyed.

BY this is meant all wild hay that
has not been cultivated, and represents
the chief product of the state, as but
comparatively little tame hay is grown,
and shows n Of the great resources
Of the state for stoc kpurposes. While
that is true, and most Of u wild
meadows seem ineXhaustible, yet 1t is
not good policy to overtax nature too
far. Some Of our wiser heads have
been casting about to find a substitute
that could be depended upon in all
kinds Of seasons to take the place Of
the nutritious wild grass that now
grows so luxuriantly. After several
years Of careful experiments made in
those parts Of the state where the pre-
%cipitatlon is not as great as in others,
and where a more hardy and rugged
forage plant than the red clover and
timothy Is required, have come to the
conclusion that in the perennial known
as Hungarian Bronze grass" they
have found a forage plant that will
add untold wealth to the state.

The large farms taken UP and pur-

kota largely to the exclusion of all 9th
er means Of making money from the
soil. This was natural, because it took
very little capital to raise wheat, and
the returns were speedy and profitable.
OF late years, however, farmers find
that mixed or diversified farming pays
better in the long run. The adaptable
ity Of North Dakota to successful
stock raising in connection with mixed
farming is becoming better understood.
The success in raising live stock has be-
come so satisfactory that every farmer
is providing himself with as many cat
tie, horses, sheep and hogs as he can
obtain. While wheat is the principal
harvest crop, oats flax, barley rye, corn,
potatoes and all kinds of roots are
largely and profitably raised, yet the
climate has proved most favorable for
the rapid and healthful growth Of cat
tie, horses, sheep and hogs, and the ma
tive grasses are so plentiful and nutri-
tious that the live stock industry, both
with farmers and with stock raisers
who make it q speciality, IS growing III
Importance.
There is NJ more desirable part Of the
republic to engage in the stock-growing
industry than is offered on the broad
and open grazing ranges Of North Da-
kota. The c%oteaus, a chain Of low,
grassy hills running through a portion
Of the state east Of the Missouri river,
and also the wide extent Of rolling prai-
