Richness Of the ndowment Of State
Schools win Be Realized When
q s,s. n Lands are Sold. -'''.6s* .,s
Probably a Hundred Thousand Acres
= of Common School Lands to be ::
* re Sold This Year.

Deputy Land Commissioner Merrick
is preparing bonds for several school dis
tricts that have sold bonds to the state
board Of university and school lands.
There is comfortable balance in the
permanent fund which will be largely
augmented when the sales of land are
made this fall under authority granted
by the last session of the legislature.
Probably 100000 acres of the common
school lands will be sold. There is a
great demand for this land and it said
that two or three times the amount au-
thorized could be sold if put on the
market. The minimum price for the
land is $40 an acre so that a minimum
value for the land to be sold would bring
at least million dollars. Much of the
land sold, however, will be sold at a fig
above the minimum. The richness of
the endowment of the school fund of the
state is not realized until it is converted
into figures upon the occasion of these
land sales.
The last legislature also authorized
the sale of institution lands and some Of
these will be advertised and sold. The
money goes into trust fund and the in
terest and income alone is available. to
the institutions. Some of the income is
already pledged to the payment of bonds
and other bonds have been authorized
for other institutions, notably the agri-
cultural college, the state university
and state reform school.

Philippines, returned to the city last
night, the regiment having returned
from Manila about three weeks ago and
being mustered out several days ago at
San Francisco. The Thirty sixth has

No Unusual Weather.

The monthly weather bulletin publish-
ed by Director. Bronson Of the Bismarck
station, says: February IVES about an
average month, by comparison with the
same month in former years. The mean
temperature was slightly above the nor
NAL. and there was slight deficiency in
precipitation. The coldest weather of
the. month occurred during the first
week, the lowest temperatures at nearly
allstations being recorded at about this
time. At the beginning of the second
week there was considerable moderation
ID temperature, and nild weather pre-
vailed for about ten days during which
period most Of the maximum tempera-
Etnres were recorded. A moderate cold
wave followed this period, which was in
turn followed BY generally mild weather
for this time Of the year, and the month
closed warm and pleasant. The most OF
the precipi for the month fell be
tween the 18th and Goth, but was, as 4
general thing, light, only q few stations
reporting anything like heavy snow, and
at the close Of the month only little
snow was reported on the ground. High
winds we're Of frequent occurence during
the month, but while very unpleasant to
be out in. no damage from them has
been heard Of. The monthly mean tenn

there being a slight deficiency and at
others an excess of temperature. The
temperatures over the western part of

WON HIS CLAIM.
Soldiers Homestead Case Decided by
the General Land Office.

Devils Lake, March 21.-A decision of
much Importance to the volunteer SOL
diers Of the late war, which has just
been made by the commissioner general
of the land Office at Washington, reached
hero today in the matter of the home
stead of Nels E. Peterson, who filed on a
homestead prior to enlisting for service
in the Spanish war.
Peterson left the states and went to
the Philippine islands without making
any improvements on the land. He
served in the army about fifteen months
and after his return built small house
on the land. He then submitted com
mutation proof on the land after liv-
ing thereon only two or three days. The
register and receiver of the Grand Forks
land office rejected the proof.
Peterson, through his attorney, John
W. Maher of this city, appealed the case
to the commissioner at Washington, who
says the register and receiver were in
error in holding that Peterson's term OF
service in the army should not be allowed
as residence and cultivation of the land
for the same time deserved, even though
he had no house on the land. Peterson
was corpora! in the First North Dakots
volunteers. The claim is in the northern
part of this county, located not far from
the extension of the Great Northern
railway, and is quite valuable piece oi
land.

COMPROMISE,
Proposed That South Dakota Shall
Have Headquarters and Collector and
North Dakota Name the Clerks.

North Dakota Name the Clerks,
Washington, March 2l.-Although no
decision has been reached as to the To-
cation of the headquarters of the new
North and South Dakota internal rev.
enue district, proposition to end the
controversy has been submitted to all
parties interested, which will, it is ex-
pected, be accepted. This provides that
the headquarters of the district shall be
located at Aberdeen, a concession to
Senator Kyle. 1t further provides that
the collector shall be named by Senator
Gamble and Representative Martin and
Burke, and that the North Dakota SEN
ators shall name the clerks who are to
be employed at headquarters.
The North Dakota senators make con-
cessions on two points because their
state yields only ne-third of the revenue
of the entire district, and allowing Sen
ator Kyle to have the district head
quarters located in his home town
ought, in the opinion of some of the
other parties, to satisfy him, while Sen
ator Gamble and his colleagues ought
certainly to be contented to name the
collector.
Of course this solution has not been
accepted by any of the parties con-
cerned, but it is simply put forward as a
compromise that will end the trouble
and permit the treasury department to
60 ahead and establish the new district,

SELLING COAL.

Results Of the Efforts to Introduce the
North Dakota Product Into South
Dakota.
Col. J. W. Morrow of Fargo, state
agent for North and South Dakota for
the Washburn coal, reports rapidly in
creasing trade. He has sold over 800
cars in South Dakota, most of it in Alb
erdeen. He is also sending Ignite stoves
to Grand Forks and Aberdeen to show
the, value and cheapness of the fuel
when combustion is properly obtained.
A large increase in the output of the
mines is contemplated in order to sup
ply the demand. The active efforts of
Che coal men Of the state to introduce
this native coal are beginning to produce
results.

Exaggerated the Chinese Incident,
st. Petersburg. March 2l.-A semi
official note issued today says: "A
commonplace incident has been terribly
exaggerated by the British press until
it almost assumed the gravity of casus
belli. 1t was entirely due to the forcible
manner in which the British tried to
obtain possession of disputed land that
the Russian government found it neces-
sary to order energetic action taken.
The matter is manifestly question for
diplomatic treatment and the govern
ment has no doubt it will be amicably
settled between London and St. Peters

England's libel law is a terror to the
defendants. "A short time ago young.
playwright sold a piece to- a London
manager and drew a small royalty
each week, which was paid BY check.
One week, when the. playwright pre-
sented the check to the bank for cash
ing it was returned to him marked
mo funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung eonspicuously
in his study. He took pleasure in
pointing it out to visitors and making
biting comments until one day the
managers lawyer called and told the
young man that he was committing
q serious libel on the manager, where
upon the check was taken down at
once. -. - = - s =.
Over in England the railway com.
panies, or at least one Of them, put up
in the station placards bearing the
names of passengers who had violated
rules Of the road, with addresses, the
nature Of the offense and fines impos-
ed. The offenders took the matter into
court, and now the placards show only
the words opposite the offense, "a
passenger" :,
1t frequently happens that names
given to villains and ridiculous charac-
ters in fiction will duplicate in real life.
A certain English novel had it's scene
laid on the west coast of Africa, and
the villain Of the book was a major
in the army, supposed to be stationed
there. To the novelist's dismay there
appeared one day out of the unknown
a real major, bearing the name of the
villain Of the novel, who also had been
stationed on the west coast of Africa.
In vain the unhappy author protested
in the consequent action that he had
never seen Or heard Of the plaintiff.
A verdict for the latter was given,
with substantial damages. e.,
A Birmingham lawyer held that one
could libel a man effectually enough
by leaving out his name. He brought
an action against a local paper for
persistently omitting his name from
its reports Of cases in which he pro.
fessionally was engaged. Presumably
he imagined that the loss of the ad-
vertisement he would have obtained
by his name repeatedly appearing was
damage enough. He was nonsuited,

FINED For I'd Death On C board. j,

"rhe only place, as far as law is con-
cerned, where it costs money to die
from natural causes is aboard q steam
ship" remarked a vessel owner. The

enough. There was d time when emil
grants were being brought to this
country in very large numbers. or by
the shipload.' as it was termed. There
is no doubt that there was croWding In
the ships that brought them, and to
prevent this d law was passed impos-
ing upon the ship q fine of $40 for
every death that occurred during the
passage from natural causes of per.
sons over s years of age. This
put stop to overcroWd ding. or, at
least. IT. is supposed that 1t did, which
ii about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having to pay fines of this kind.
OF course. in comparison with the
great army Of persons who are brought
across the ocean from month to month.
there are very few deaths, for the stat
