Land Is Too Cheap

Last winter the Legislature passed
a law reducing the minimum price for
state school lands from So 90 to slips
an acre. Recently Auditor of State
George K. Cole has been receiving
numerous complaints that cattlemen
and Others holding school lands under
lease are giving up their leases and
/ are purchasing til land at the mini
mum price of SI.25 an acre. when in
reality it is worth double or even
treble that amount. Other persons
are prevented it is said, from purchaS-
ing the land at its actual value by
the Iessees claiming IA prior right to
the land by reason of settlement dur
ing the period of their leases. t is
easy, it is claimed. for the interested
parties to have the land appraised at
the minimum amount. All that is
necessary it is asserted, is to secure
the right kind of an appraising board
and it will do the rest.
Auditor Cole referred the matter to
Attorney General GODDARD to see if
there was not some wav of stopping
the practice. Assistant Attorney
opinion to the effect that lessee of
st tie school lands could not volur tart
ly give up his lease, and that the
county commissioners were not au-
thoriZed TO permit him to DO SO before
the expiration of the five years as pro-
vided by law. 1t is their duty, he
claims, to see that the rent is paid
each year and to enforce its collection
if necessary should the lessee attempt
to violate the terms of the contract
under which he secured control of the
land.
In addition, Mr.. Clayton holds that
neither the lessee or any other person
can acquire any prior rights of pur-
chase to the lands during the time
they are under lease, nor will the time
a person lives on the land, while he
controls it under lease, be applied on
the six months actual residence re-
quired of a settler.
This decision, it is thought, will
have the effect of stopping, for time
at least, the sale of any more leased
school land, and at the next session of
the Legislature the law can be so
amended that definite provisions will
be made against such transactions.
Land is Increasing in value SO rapidly
in Western Kansas that in most local
tiles s1.25 an acre is regarded as an
absuidly low price--Capital.

The Irl X. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far
the finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes
as premium 10 every subscriber who
pays one dollar year for Prof. Hicks

manac alone is sent prepaid for only

WEED IS WORTH MILLIONS.
Makes Irvine and Rope as Good AS That of
Hemp.

Creston, Ia. Feb. 7.-State Senator
Clark. of Page county has made pub
lie way to beat the twine combine.
At Il farmers institute he displayed e
piece of irvine and a piece of rope, re-
sembling a good quantity of hemp.
These. he explained We're made from
velvet weed, or abutilon, which grows
rankly on almost every farm, and has
been considered a useless weed.
The discovery that the weed could
be thus utilized was made by ID. ID.
Weir. n farmer living near Clarinda.
Weir discovered the strength of the
fiber Of the weed about two months
ago. He picked up Il few strands from
the ground after they had lain there
rotting since last summer. and found
them very strong. They were sepa-
rated into threads as fine as the best
of hemp.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CHINESE
Decree Recently Published Pleads for the
Life of General.

Picking, Feb. THE foreign minis
tiers yesterday morning gave out for
publication secret imperial edict
handed to them Tuesday by the Chi
nese peace plenipotentiaries. which
pleads especially for the life of Tung
Flu Slang, commandments of the
army 1t says the only reason is on
account of the turbulent population Of
the province of Shen 81 and Kan Su,
who are devoted to him and might
rise and commit acts of violence
against the missionaries and Christians
which the court would greatly deplore
Consequently his punishment requires
caution. deliberation and careful con-
sideration.
The emperor, it is pointed out even
in the punishment of princes of the
blood has not been moved by motives
for their protection. Why then should
he do so in the ease of Tung Flu Slang?
What had already been done should
be taken into consideration. His army
had been reduced to 5000 men with
the object Of lessening his power and
with the ultimate object of his future
punishment. which will be promulgated
in an edict. the language of which
will not be too patent. After the de-
privation of his official rank the en-
peror will hereafter decide on heavy
punishment.
At their meeting yesterday morning
the the foreign ENJOYS prepared a note
to he delivered to the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries containing the substance
of the decisions arrived at Tuesday
night including the sentences of ex-
ecution This will be translated and
delivered TO Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang. who will Immediately com
municate with the court before reply
ing. The ministers refuse TO spare
The life of Tung Flu Hsiang on the
ground that they did not consider the
claim of the plenipotentiaries reason
able. They allowed the lives of
Prince Tuan and Duke Ian not be-
cause they considered their crimes
less, but on account of their relation
ship to the imperial family and the
effect their death might have on the

IOWA STATE COLUMN.
Telegraphic Matters of Interest to Our
Own People.
Happenings Throughout the State Re
corded for the BENEFIT of the Read
ers of This Paper.

Sioux City, Ia, Feb. 11.-Prompt
and active work by the authorities at
Manila. Ia, has resulted in the arrest
of three men who are supposed to be
implicated in the theft Of United
States express safe that contained S40,-
600. Their names are John Jackson,
John Stovall and Charles Hayes. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul train
on which the safe was taken from
p. m. Saturday. The Omaha train was
late. and the express safe. with other
articles, was unloaded and placed on a
truck on the station platform, and then
Express Messenger Sturtevant and the
baggageman went to the other end of
the platform to get another truck load.
Thieves Carried OFF the Safe.
When Sturtevant returned henoticed
that the articles on the truck were dis
arranged, and a glance showed that
the iron box was gone. No time was
lost in spreading the alarm. City
Marshal Terrell hastily assembled ii
posse and vigorous work was begun
Snow lay thick upon the ground, and
it did not take long to discover the
tracks of two persons, who evidently
had been carrying some heavy OBJ
ject. They carried the safe a distance
of about two blocks and then loaded it
into a wagon, which had been left
there in waiting. The wagon was
driven about a mile and half out
into the country, and there the safe
was forced open and the contents were
distracted.
Were Easily Traced in the Snow.
The men there abandoned the safe
and went their way ON new track.
1t was not difficult to trace them. how
ever, and yesterday morning John
Jackson, John Stovall and Charles
Hayes, men who live at Manila and
are well known, We're arrested. Their
regulations heretofore have not been
bad. They stoutly protested their in
nocence, but the authorities believe the
evidence against at least two of them
will prove conclusive The safe which
was stolen contained in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Twelve thousand
dollars was in cash and the remainder
in drafts, checks and various yalua-
bles
Did Not Know Their Prizes Value
While the robbery undoubtedly was
deliberately planned, as the horse and
wagon We're in waiting in convenient
spot it is not believed that the men
knew they were making SO rich a
haul. They had no means of knowing
the contents of the safe, only that it
was used for carrying valuables. Jack
son, Stovall and Hayes have been in
the habit of hanging about the sta
ton at train time, but that was not
considered significant, as it is the Gus
tom of a number of town people at
Manila. The authorities say the
shoes of two of the men exactly fit
the tracks in the snow ut the depot
where the safe was carried off. None
of the money and other valuables was
recovered.
