spotted fever described in the medical

S. DAKOTA SCHOOL FUND
HALT MILLION IS LYING IDLE
State Finds the LonninE Business
Decidedly. sIow--RemedinI Leg
islation Necessary.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., May 20.-The, amount Of
practically half million dollars lying
idle in the permanent school fund to be
loaned to the various counties in June,
or, in case Of failure, to be returned to
the state at the expiration Of sixty days,
with interest for that time, will call for
remedial legislation at the next session
step was made in that direction at the
last session by providing for the submits
sion of a constitutional amendment to
reduce the interest rate from per cent
to 5, but as the, amount which may be
loaned on real estate will be left at half
the assessed value, 1t will be too small
to be of any value to the borrower, and
this reduction of interest will not be of
great benefit toward getting the fund
out.
The piling up of this fund, which brings
no revenue except as 1t is pushed upon
the counties as forced loan from the
state, Is directing attention to the poll
Icy advanced by minority at the time
of statehood that the lands should never
be sold, but held by the state for rental
alone. If this policy had been adopted
there would never have been surplus
fund piled up, as all the revenue derived
from the land would have at once gone
into the fund for maintenance OF public
schools, and the trouble Of loaning would
never have developed.
+ AS against.this policy 1t is pointed out
that the revenue derived: from leases for
hay OF grazing alone, as Is now provided
by law, would be SO small that it would
be of little benefit to the public schools.

to Have Bands-The Ctty's
Preparations.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 20-It was orig
inally intended to have the big meeting
of the state league Of republican clubs on
Wednesday forenoon June 4, prior to the
converting of the republican st ate conven-
ton on that day.
It has now, however, beeen definitely
determined to have the meeting on Tues
day evening, June 3. LATE Young, the
journalist-orator Of Des Moines, will be
the principal speaker at the meeting.
1t is certain that while the republican
state convention will not be held until
the next day, there will be an immense
crowd in Sioux Falls on Tuesday evening,
as incoming trains Tuesday afternoon will
bring republicans from all parts of the
state who will wish to be on the ground
early. 1s
From present indications about all the
best bands in the state will be here to
ai6 in entert aiming the crowds. 1t is
understood that Professor George x. Nash,
a prominent candidate for nomination to
the Office of superintendent of public in
struction, will bring the Canton or Len
nox band, or both, with him to aid him in
his candidacy. :
With this sort of an example before
them, it is thought other candidates may
also decide to bring bands with them. J..
F. Halliday, editor of the Iroquois Chief,
Who has the field to himself in his candi-
dacy for nomination to the office of state
auditor, will, it is said, entertain his
friends by bringing with him the .Desmet
band.
The Aberdeen and Flandreau bands are
also expected to be here, and in addition
the local entertainment committees will
provide for two bands to play during the
convention.

LEMON LEASE MAY FAIL
DIR, GRINNELL WILL BE THOROUGH
Whole Leasing Proposition May Be
Lost-Fresh Movement Against
BinSenheimer.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Cannon Ball, n. D., May 2C.-Dr. Grin
nall and Major Mclaughlin are making a
thorough inspection of the land con-
tanned in the Lemon lease and the opin-
ion seems to be that the whole leasing
proposition Will be turned down. Doctor
Grinnell has not EXPRESSED any opinion
on the matter as yet, however. It Is
said he will personally interview Wade,
who charges corruption on the part OF
Commissioner Jones and Agent Bingen-
heimer, in order that he may be able to
give his opinion to the president, on his
return.
The only foundation for any charges
against Commissioner Jones in the leas-
ing matter, so far as is known here, is the
fact that the lease was first offered to the
Milwaukee road, the Indians, however,
refusing to treat with that corporation.
The fact that Mr.. Jones came from Wis
consin led to remarks, especially as there
is a good deal of bad feeling over the
right of way granted the Milwaukee from
Evarts across the Sioux country. The
idea Of Jones being, in with Lemon is
secuted as ridiculous, by those familiar
with the situation. 49,
sBinge nheiner's enemies have appealed
to the president to order a fresh investi-
cation, asserting that the one held by
Inspector Nessler was not fair. It is not
thought their request will be granted, as
any one, who had anything against the
agent had ample opportunity to testify

Special to The Journal.
Chamberlain, S. d., May 90. = Deputy
United States Marshal 2Petrie left Cham-
berlain to-day for the Rosebud agency to
secure an Indian named Walking Shield
charged with killing an old squaw named
Ghost Face Bear. The killing took place
early on the morning Of May 8. The vic
tim was residing alone with her daughter
Emily on Little White river, about eight
miles from Westover.
Walking Shield appeared at the place,
and, after arousins the inmates by rap
ping upon the window. in response to the
inquiry of the old squaw, replied that he
was hungry and tired and wanted to. stay
all night. The old lady arose, dressed,
lit lamp and admitted Walking Shield
1t is charged that as she turned to walk
back into the room, Walking Shield shot
her twice in the back of the head with a
shotgun, scattering her brains about the
room. %a ~
, tits charged by the Indian police and
neighbors that he then assaulted the
daughter, but this she denies, saying that
he merely embraced her. He stayed at
the house until about Z O'Clock in the
morning and it is. charged that, he then
desired to kill the daughter, but having
no cartridges he mounted his horse and
crossed White river, passing MISSIONER
soon after o'clock. There he procured
d supply VI Ammunition, 'puI was uHdDle
to secure cartridges for a revolver he car
ried.
Deputy United States Marshal Petrie
was at once notified of the crime and
left Chamberlain Immediately for the
scene, taking with him several men armed
with Winchesters, Walking Shield hav-
ing the reputation of being very bad
Indian. The officer travelled $50 miles,
but was unable to locate the desperate,
and returned to Chamberlain, believing
that Walking Shield had gone into the
Cheyenne country as he was moving in
that direction. 1t seems however. that
he subsequently returned to the Rosebud
reservation, where the Indian police &C
complished his capture. Deputy Marshal
Petrie will bring him before United States
Commi ssioner Tidrick in this city, be-
fore whom the preliminary examination
