Wanted to Escape.

Anton Grum, is an Austrian gentle
man who became tired of America
suddenly after pay day. He had Sc
cured his money for the months
work and promptly "blew it in" On
going home to his better half he
he did not succeed In melting the ice
from around the cold heart of his
spouse and consequently he was shy Of
the wherewithal with which to con-
tinue his jag. Anton was foxy boy
however. He had money on deposit
in one of our institutions and Monday
drew his wad. Taking one of the
children he left on the afternoon train
for Duluth and the old country, un-
known to his wife, having purchased
his ticket to Austria. A message
from the chief of police stopped him
in the Zenith City and Chief of Police
LaBeau went down Tuesday and
brought him home. He furnished
bail and was allowed to go home. In
the morning he appeared in court and
stated himself and wife had settled
their differences and upon payment
of fine and costs he was allowed to
60 home. Next pay day Anton will
probably make another squirt for the
classic hills of his native land.

about 1000, 900 acres of land still to
be taken from the government. The
claims are going rapidly, but it will
be several years before all are EXHAUST
3D." said Register Culkin. "In the
four northeastern counties of Mime
sofa there are at least 100 neighbor-
hood settlements where number of
settlers have taken land close together
and established postoff1ce for their
convenience.
"There is some hrstclass land in
every portion of the country, though,
of course. there is some which is rough
and not so profitable for the settler.
The land north Of Duluth is unusu-
ally valuable for farming purposes be-
cause of the fact that Duluth, Sup
eror and the range towns furnish
markets for all they can produce.
1.-THE sooner the land is taken up
by settlers, the better it will be for
the country in this section, as it
places the acreage on the tax rolls.
Every much of the land which is
now classed as worthless will be found
capable of supporting a large popula-
tion, as much of it is of better quail
ity than the European territory which
supports immense numbers of people.
At one time all of the land west of
the Alleghanies was termed worth
less. but it was found very valuable
when needed for settlement. Terri
tory between Duluth and st. Paul
which was once considered worthless
is now worth SIS to $50 per acre.

Blew off An Arm.

An Italian residing In the old Pion-
eer HoJel building Thursday bought
a new gun. On arrival home he load
ed the affair and was about to step
out of the house to prove to his wife
that the gun was Ok, when it was
accidentally discharged. The mans
young daughter was near her father
and after the explosion it was found
that her forearm from the elbow
down was missing, besides she had
several glancing shot wounds in her
side. She was at once taken to the
Shlpman hospital where the wounds
were given attention and she is now
doing as well as can be expected. The
parents are almost Frustrated over the

MAKING FARMS.
Much Land Being Taken for Agricultural
Purposes.

Purposes.
Officials of the Duluth land Office
are preparing for big rush during
September, as two new townships are
to be opened which already contain
settlements and are very desirable ON
account of the excellent quality Of
the land which they contain.
Business of the office has not been
slack this month in spite of the hot
summer weather which usually re-
tards activity. During the last month
325 entries representing $4,000 acres,
two and one half townships, have
boen claimed by entrymen either
under the homestead act or the stone
and timber law. Fully $50 families
have found homes on the lands taken.
People living on the ranges, Scandi-
navians, Firms and Austrians are
rapidly taking up the homestead
land. Young men from the farming
districts in the southern portion of
Minnesota and neighboring states are
also searching out valuable lands on
which to establish farms.
Bankers, lawyers and well-tO-do
business men from the parts of the
country where timber is scarce and
standing trees are regarded as much
more valuable than they are by people
in northern Minnesota take most Of
the timber and stone land, using it
for purposes OF speculation and not
for agriculture.

lead of ore IS feet in width has been
traced for quite distance. The ore
is of low grade on the surface and
the drill is put in to test the deposit
as TO depth and quality. The COM
panY, when organized. placed shares
on the market at SOC. each but the de-
mand was subscribed for within few
hours. The demand has continued

THE FULLBLooD INDIAN.


A great deal of unnecessary sen.
timent is being wasted on the full
blood Indian in this territory and
elsewhere, and much has crspt in
to books and into the minds of
the uninitiated with reference to
his true character and inclinations
and prospects. In the first place
he is paraded as being constitu-
tionally and rigidly honest, which
is untrue and a gross exaggeration
Of facts. He is naturally secre-
tive and deceptive and his mode
Of warfare from the beginning has
been from behind trees and rocks
and from the brush. Nobody ever
knows what a full blood will do
until he has done it. He is the
fret man to sell his vote at an
election and gets ssss FOX it. He
follows his leader like sheep.
When 9 leader is bought he carries
his following with him. Just what
is to become of the fullblood is
one of the problems OF the day
and will not be solved in the in
terest OF the Indian. He is doomed
to poverty and will eventually be
lost in history. There are excep-
tions, but they are so rare and so
far between as to be Of little con.
sequence in viewing the fullblood
as whole. This condition ex
tends to all the tribes on the Amer.
ican continent.

lUI mUic tudu uCCdu0 anu Was ~
thoroughly the autccrat Of Mis-
souri, politics as 10 land him
self in the great position Of Unit
ed States senator, where have sat
such men as Brown. Benton and
Vest.
And now the people want to
make Mr.. Folk the next governor
of the state, which sentiment
augurs well for the commonwealth
and is withal hopeful sign.
But boodling and frauds at cleo
tions are by no means confined to
Missouri, and the most promising
feature in the whole subject is
that the country is beginning to
wake up and to discuss and to agi-
tate the subject. The very fact
that the people are not callous to
to these stupendous wrongs may
mean the salvations Of our insti
tutions
Every good citizen detests these
evils and longs to see the time
when boOdling and bribery will
be punished as promptly as horse
theft. Buying votes at an elec
tion is a species of bribery and
can not be regarded otherwise, and
it is the kind that will swamp the
government quicker than any
other because it makes popular
elections farce andsets at naught
the will Of the people.
At our last chiefs election the
open and shameless purchase Of
votes was engaged in by both po
litical parties; perhaps by one as
much as the other. Men who stand
high in financial circles and who
would esteem it an insult to be
designated other than good citi-
zens openly paid the cash for votes
on election day; bought them sin.
gly and in groups without shame
or oompunction. These men would
perhaps stand aghast at being
called bribers. But what else are
they?
We are told our system Of gov
ernment is but an experiment and
that it may yet prove failure II
it proves a failure it will be on &C
count of the perfdy and dishon
esty of its citizens. The man who
sells his vote parts with the most
valuable asset of citizenship, and
that which has cost the blood and +
treasure of all the centuries, the
acme Of civiliz tion and the crown
and glory of struggle as heroic
and magnificent as has been chron
icled in all the annals of the hu
man race.
May it uot be that the work of {
Mr.. Folk and others, here and
here in the eau Sc OF civic right
and good government is
he beginning Of a revolution
In thought along this line, and
that the dawn of a better day is
streaking the East? When pure
politics becomes as vital and as
sacred as liberty itself, then the
ascals, bribers aud boodlers may
Degin to get worried.
