Helped Raise tho Debt.

The trustees of the Willmar Semiu-
airy were agreeable surprised this
week to learn of the receipt of a,
81, COO check from President James j..
Hill of the Great Northern, TO be ap-
piled to raise the debt which has been
Tor some time hanging over that pop
u]ar institution. The check arrived
here Wednesday and is now in the
treasury, which is steadily increasing
towards the liquidation of the debt.
1t is announced that at the last aunuaI
meeting of the trustees there was a.
debt OF over $4,000 on the Seminary.
Steps we're taken to reduce this debt.
aud Rev. T. o. Toto, of the Crow
River congregation, was chosen to
raise the necessary funds, and has
been quite successful as the mission
airy in the field outside of Willmar..
Willmar citizens have also contrib
uted towards the payment of the debit
among whom are mentioned Messrs.
L. 0. and M. o. Thorpe, Andrew Lar
son and A. 0. Nasset, gentlemen who,
have been prominently identified with
the institution since it's founding.
The lift which Mr.. Hill has given
the Seminary cuts the indebtedness
down to about 50 500, and Willmar
people will no doubt be given an OPP
portunity to help decrease this amount.
The school brings quite an income to-
the city through its large attendance,
the majority of its pupils being from
out of town These many pupils, some:
OF whom come from quite a distance,
add considerable to the surplus of the
Great Northern as we'll. in the way of
railroad fare, but President Hills
most generous gift is nevertheless g,
most acceptable one and will entitle=
him to the thanks CT all who have the
worthy institution at heart.

For Principal Of Public Schools.

The Willmar school board is in re-
ceipt of an application from Prof. n.
S. Hilleboe for the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the city schools for the coming year.
Prof. Hilleboe has made a most ex-
cellent superintendent Iof the schools
In Benson during his several years
residence there. Willmar people
would be glad to welcome him back
to this city should the application be
favorably acted upon by the board.
His good record at the head of the
Seminary in this city is too wellknown
to need any comment. Suffice it to
say that he is one of the ablest in
structors in the Northwest. The
scho oil board will act upon this matter
at its meeting on the first Tuesday in
February.

JUDGE POWERS REVERSED
verd'ce I" Sws" Lake Land Case Has
Been Turned Down by the
Supreme Court.

The supreme court Of the state has
reversed the decision of the lower
court in the Swan Lake land case of
this county. The following is from
the Minneapolis Journals report of
same:
The lower court held that where the
meander line was incorrect, the land
between it and the lake should be de-
vided on the east and west lines. The
supreme court holds that from the
meander line each owners boundary
should run converging toward the
center OF the lake, to give each owner
riparian rights.
This case will be precedent for others.
and is also important from the fact
that the court assumes this land, to be
private property, and not government
land, as decided by the land Office in a
similar case. The syllabus says:
John Hanson ct al, respondents, vs..
Albert E. Rice ct al, defendant; AL
bert E. Rice ct al, appellants.
r1rSt"" mere t19 =meanQer line OF an
inland, meapdefef sxigable lake is
not a bounda~ theHfractional
lots or tract Aabuttt6g thereon.
the title of cont uUus owners extends
to all lands between such line and the
shore of the lake, precisely as though
it were the result of accretions or re-
Lotions; and the boundaries of adioin-
ing tracts, as to land beyond the
meander line, are fixed by extending
their side lines, on a DETECTED course,
from their Intersection with the mean
der line, toward point in the center
of the lake.
Second-Where there is variance
between the meander line established
by the surveyors, as shown by the
official plat of the survey, and the field
notes, the former controls,

Tariff Taken OF for Once.

Congress has passed q bill taking
the duty off coal for a period of one
year, and providing that the duty on
anthra cite shall not be restored at the
end of that period. Sixty-seven cents
a ton does not mean very much, but
there is some satisfaction to see the
high protectionists acknowledge that
there are circumstances in which the
sacred tariff may be abrogated for
some time.
