NEW LAND DISTRICTS.
Gossip About the Appointment Of
Officers to Fill The
Places. q
From III. Journal Bureau, Room, is, Post Build:

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build:
/ ing, Washington. s sa ~
| Washington, March o5.--When the
president issues an executive order
| changing the boundaries Of the Mime
sofa land DISTRICTS it will be necessary for
him to make new appointments Of regis
ters and receivers to, cover7~the new dis
tricts. He may reappoint the old officers
or he may make changes, as he and the
members Of the delegations may decide.
The present officers are: ~'&sSt. Cloud,
refister, Myron D. Taylor, receiver, "a f.
yah Eastman; Duluth, register, William
E. Culkin; receiver, Jay M.Smith; Crooks
ton. register, Sylvester Patterson re-
ceiver, August: r. George; Marshall,
register, Cyrus P. Shepherd, receiver,
Christopher Case. ~ ny:
1t is understood that the incumbents
at st. Cloud, Duluth and Crookston will
be reappointed, but that there will be
Lake, which will take the place Of the
Marshall office so far as patronage is con-
cerned. ~ s-
Representative McCleary made the fight
against the change, not because there was
| no justifca ton for abolishing the marshal
| office but only because he wanted to save
the official life of Register c. P. Shepherd
who has held the office since 1894. 1t is
possible that some arrangements may be
made by which Mr.. Shepherd may be
transferred to Cass Lake. if he wants to &C
there and if he does not new appointments
| will be made. The only avowed candidate
for either office at Cass Lake is A. G.
Bernard who represented the business men
Of Minneapolis and st. Paul in Washing
ton when the Morris bill was pending. He
! wants to be either register or receiver oil
the new office and would probably rathe,
| have the latter, as it does not involve any
particular knowledge of the land law
Under the Encouragement all land Officers
| In the. state will get $4,000 year. 1t is
expected that Secretary Hitchcock will
| rush the preparation Of the order defining
| the new districts, so that the presiden,
may sign it before he leaves on his west,
| ern trip. =.

Nantes, Frances, March 25.-There was

cluded number. of Partisan critics. The
municipality gave the play. recognition by
providing the scenery for the principal act,
showing the island prison where the hero
was confined. The play represents a
young lieutenant who is condemned on
false proofs, and the audience was spe-
cially enthL siastic at the close Of the
fourth act. which shows the condemnation
of the officer before a council of war,
which is a+faithful reproduction Of the
actual council which condemned Dreyfus.
The author received many calls. Fatal

Company Takes Another Form.
St Paul codncilmen who are after the
street railway company have drafted a
bill which is intended to give the council
power to adopt a Scent fare ordinance.
The members of the committee, Messrs.
ARNOLD, Wheeler and M. Doran, Jr.; do not
believes that when the st. Paul franchise
was granted the council had any author
ity to fix a. maximum charge. The bill
drawn is to give the council that power.
The bill as drawn is broad, and permits
any city council in. the state from time to
time, but not oftener than two years, to
fix the charges to be made by all public
service. corporations. 1t provides that no
further extension of franchise shall be
granted to such companies except on con-
dition that the council shall have power
to fix maximum charges. The bill also
declares it to be the settled policy Of the
state: that no council has a right to grant
privileges Of the city streets without re-
tanning the power to fix the maximum
charges for service once in two years.

A Host Of Witnesses-Pe-ru-na Ca.
tarrh Cure That Rests on the unso-
IEcited Testimony Of Thousands.
This is an age when theories have little
or no weight on the average mind, but
actual demonstration is demanded. The
busy people of to-day have neither time
nor inclination to speculate, and turn
with distrust from everything that does
not plainly bear the stamp of fact.
The reason Peruna has gained such
universal hold Of the confidence of the
people as a catarrh cure is because all
statements concerning it are accompanied
by facts.
A book containing specimens selected
at random from a cloud of witnesses who
have been cured of chronic catarrh by
Peruna sent free by The Peruna. Medi-
cine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DR.. Hartman giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
