Final Argument at Willmar.

There is no encouragement for
Russell Sage in the result of the first
hearing in court in his suits against
the homestead settlers in Swift and
adjoining counties. Four of these
cases were tried at the adjourned
term at Benson in which Frederick
Koblman, Theodore Maxwell, Henry
Musterman and Fred Peters were
defendants, involving tracts of land
in the towns of Hegbert and Shible.
In the first two cases questions of fact
concerning the manner in which the
attempted selection of 1883 was made,
also as to the value of improvements
on the land, were submitted to jury.
The verdict sustained the contention
of the settlers in every particular.
The questions of law were submitted
to the court and will be finally argued
at Willmar on the 17th day of July.
In case an appeal is then taken this
will insure the submission of the cases
at the October term of the Supreme
court.-Appleton Press.

The Teachers Pay.

It has always been a matter of
great wonderment to US why our rural
school teachers are not better paid,
and though we have heard many so
called reasons for the deplorable fact,
yet none are really satisfactory. Pay
them more, ye country school districts,
and you'll get better teachers and
your children better education.
The following clipped from the
Princeton Union, is of interest in this
connection: "The state high school
board has taken an action which will
be applauded by all good citizens. It
has decreed that no graded school in
MINES sofa shall receive state aid un-
less it pays it's principal at least S75 q
month and it's grade teachers at least
$40 month. It is too bad that
similar order cannot be made in re-
gard to our rural schools. Few peo-
pie realize the stinginess of the aver
age country school district. The
teachers in the 900 rural school houses
OF Minnesota actually average less
than s23 month for the year. They
are paid even smaller wages than
walters in restaurants. And yet in
their hands is the nations destiny.
Think of it,"
