A LITTLE ISLAND.
The Subject Of Contest in the Local
Land Office.


a little island, located in Mccoy
crns bay, near the site of the John
O'Brien Lumber Company's mills. and
which the st. Paul Minneapolis and
Manitoba railway took up under the
script act Of August 5. 1892, promises
to become famous. The island does
not contain more than an acre. most
of it being stone ledge in the cen
ter Of which is enough soil to make
a small garden
For years the island attracted no
attention, in fact it would have per-
baps never been taken up had not the
lumber company located their mills
near it.

g contest at the land Office claiming
that he settled on the island on Or
tcber 30. which date was at least six

The political complexion of the next
house Of representatives is problemat-
zeal. In the present house the repub-
leans are in a majority of &c over the
combined opposition. Of the total
membership. 20 were elected by plur-
alities of 1000 or less. Of whom - are
republicans, - democrats and four
populists. These republicans were
elected as follows: Indiana, four: Hi
nois. three; California. Iowa. Maryland
and West Virginia, two each; Alabama,
Kentucky. Massachusetts, Minnesota.
New Jersey. New York. North Carolina,
Ohio and Virginia. one each. The dem
ocratic list is as follows: New York.
four; Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, Two each; Illinois Maryland,
Massachusetts, North Carolina and Nir-
ginia, one each. OF the populists. two
are from Nebraska and one each from
Kansas ana North Carolina. 1t will be
noted that for the republicans the
greatest number of close districts is in
Indiana, and for the democrats in New
York.
Expansion, the trusts and the war
tariff will come up for discussion. and
republicans must be prepared with
botb offensive and defensive tactics.
While the republican party is appar-
emily in a better position in the eX-
treme west than il was in 1896. the
situation in the north and middle west
is sufficient to cause concern. The
sound money democrats were willing
to support Mckinley or Palmer in the
last campaign rather than permit Brv.
an TO become president. and to inaugu-
rate a free silver policy. These demo-
Gratis are now hostile to Mckinley and
not so averse to Bryan since congress
deprived the secretary Of the treasury
of the privilege of disturbing the gold
standard. The disposition of the sound
money men may not affect the electoral
vote of the eastern states, but it is like
ly to cut some figure in the congress
sional elections. There seems to be
considerable discomfort with the adj
ministration in such states as Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Iowa and
Minnesota, growing out of the colonial
questions. Republicans may treat this
with disdain. but If they ignore il they
may awake on the morning after tie
election to an unpleasant realization

fact that a treasury expert who dis
covered and called attention OF his su-
perior officers TO these irregularities

There is plenty of reason for believ-
ing that at least three of the most I'M
popular and oppressive trust combina-
tions in the country have given notice
to Mr.. Hanna and the president that
they do not intend to be held up to
public scorn in the republican plat
forms Of the year, no matter how nee
essary that course may be regarded by
the machine managers. They have al
ready allowed their interests TO be men
acedinsuch ways more than is comfort
able. II the party which they own,
support and provide with the means
of corruption cannot stand by them
openly, they demand at least that it
shall keep quiet about them. In view
of this sentiment among the magnates
who control the administration, it is
probable that there will be n desperate
fight over the trust plank in the repub-
lican national platform of 1900. The
result is very apt TO be a colorless ut
terance similar to that at Columbus

GEORGE MooRMAN,
Adj't-Gen. and Chief Of Stat
Educable Children.

The educable children of the State
those from 5 to 81 years of age-are
enumerated by the assessors every four
years. Two lists are made for each
county, one of which is filed with the
chancery clerk; the other with State
superintendent OF education. These
lists are made the basis of the distribu-
ton of the public school fund-the
auditor being guided by the schedule
submitted by State superintendent.
The lists nov being filed will govern
until the enumeration four years hence.
The total distributors in June, 1899,
was sol 400. The enumeration for 1900
shows a remarkable increase in the
number of educable children, or special
industry on the part of assessors in
hunting them up, as the following
shows:

Capitol Plans Adopted


The State Capitol Commission, on
Thursday last, adopted the plans of
Theodore c. Linck, of st. Louis, and
he will be employed to superintend the
erection of the building. The fourteen
competing plans were thoroughly ex-
amined by the consulting architect,
Prof. Barnard Green, of Washington,
and he recommended those bearing the
number on the register corresponding
to Mr.. Linck's. The capitol will be on
the classic style of architecture, S75
feet front, 90 feet deep, three stories,
with central dome, and smaller domes
on end. The building and furnishing
will be completed within the appro-
priation of one million dollars.

reported case of typhoid fever
which had been traced to eating
celery grown on ground that had
been fertilized with sewage waste.
This is problem that will need to
be considered in connection with the
utilization of this kind of waste for
fertilizing purposes. That this kind
of fertilizer can be used without
danger in growing certain staple
crops, like the cereals, is scarcely to
be doubted, but for the production
of articles containing SO large a per-
centage of water as celery, and the
whole plant of which is eaten, it
can hardly be considered advisable
at any time to use it. Sewage
should be used, then, on the farm
and not in the market garden,
