LOOK OUT FOR swlNDLERs.
The Interior Department has is.
sued the following bulletin

DSHUA VAAOAV LOO I'D.
sued the following bulletin
An organized band of swindlers
is actively at work in several west
ern states, notably Utah, North and
South Dakota and also operating in
a lesser extent in the east. These
sharpers have selected as easy vic
tins prospective homeseekers who
are greatly interested in the various
reclamation projects undertaken by
the government.
By means of advertising closely
worded, in which they claim to
have secured inside information
regarding the plans Of the engi.
neers and by the display of alleged
copies Of government maps and
surveys, they have been successful
in dipping many unwary homeseek-
ers. For a consideration of from
$50 to $500, these swindlers guar
antee to locate settlers upon the
best irrigable lands under the gov
eminent works.
Notwithstanding that the gov
eminent some time ago issued a
circular warning the people against
being taken in by just such frauds
the swindling goes right along and
the sharks are reaping a rich har-
vest. It should be clearly under
stood that these sharpers have no
inside information. Their maps
are mere township plats, or rough
drafts such as can be obtained from
the land Office. The swindlers have
no data other than any intending
settler can obtain upon request of
the department.
The land under these govern
ment projects are withdrawn from
entry excepting homestead be-
fore any actual work Of co3nstruc-
ton is ordered and the secretary is
law required to outline the size
and location of each farm. Until
the plans IRE completed for con-
and the contract has been
let for the works, it is impossible to
state with any degree of accuracy
what the cost of the water will be
or what lands will be irrigated.
Settlers who make filing based on
the information received from these
swindlers will not only lose all the
money paid out, but are liable later
to find the lands are not included
in the governments proposed sys-
TEN, and thus will have exhausted
their homestead entry upon worth
less land. When the proper time
comes for throwing open homestead
entry lands upon these great irri-
CATION projects, the Secretary of the
Interior will give due notice thru
the public press: Until such an
nouncement, it will not be safe for
settlers to locate upon these lands.

Chicago, spoke for the delegation. In
word, she said, all that was wanted
was plank in the platform favoring
constitutional amendment preventing
the disfranchisement of citizens of the
United States because of sex.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor pton of Ohio;
Mrs. Clara Parker Wiley and Rev.
Olympia Brown of Wisconsin, made n
plea for the plank. The last two speak
ers quoted President Roosevelt in fav-
OF of the movement.
Ralph Loveland, a member Of the
committee. presented a plank pledging
the party to further improvement of
waterways, but that such improve
ments be confined to channels within
the United States. He said a great deal
Of our river and harbor work had been
done in Canadian waters.
An application was made for hear
ing by the Afro-A American League and
Negro Suffrage Association.
A peonage plank was presented by H.
l.. Johnson of Georgia.
The full committee adjourned till 10
o'clock, tomorrow.
When the subcommittee met, Sena-
tor Lodge, for the first time, present.
ed his draft of a platform, saying that
it was intended largely as basis for
action by the committee. His draft in
cluded a plank strongly recommending
the established Republican policy on
the tariff and resenting in terse Ian
guage the necessity of maintaining
the protective policy in the interest Of
American labor and American indus
RI trio fr hi, 4
tion committing the party to a read
justment of their schedules if found to
be desirable i'm the future.
There was also mild declaration on
the subject of reciprocity and a pro-
nOuncement against trusts but with a
reservation of established, legiti-
mate industries" In this connection it
congratulated the party upon the leg
islation on the trust question which
has been secured since Mr.. Roosevelt
became President.
There were also planks dealing with
tho isthmian canal and the policy of the
United States towards Cuba, upon
which the Republican party is fclicitat-
ed. 1t also contained declaration in
favor of encouraging American ship
ping.
Mr.. Lodges draft did not contain any
declaration on the success of the arbi-
tration of the Canadian boundary qucs-
ton, but other members of the commit
tee suggested a plank covering that
point.
Just before midnight a member Of the
subcommittee said that an agreement
had been reached on the tariff plank,
and that there would be no minority
report by any members of the sub-com-
mittee. He said the declaration for pro-
lection was emphatic, but promised re-
vision when necessary, but such revi-
sion should be made by Republicans. a
mild reciprocity clause, he added, is in
corpOrated in the resolution.
1t is not the intention of the SUBJ COM
mittee to make the platform public un-
til it Is reported to the full committee.
Senator Spooner. though not a men,

room during the evening and took part

RAIL- Y|NG FROM FIRE LOSS
Hanska Sufferers Starting in Bust
ness Anew.
Haenze Buys New Outfit And Will
Continue Herald.
Two of Burned Buildings Probably
Will Be Replaced.

Hanska, fre-stricken, is recovering
bravely from it's loss and is in a fair
way of being as prosperous as ever.
Already the work of establishing
the business wiped out by the flames
is in progress and one and possibly
two of the buildings wiped out will be
rebuilt in the spring.
Nelson q Grothe, the furniture firm
which lost So, 600 in the fire, started up
business within two days after the dis
ssster. They are located in the Nun
dahl building and with the part of
their stock that they saved and with
new orders, are doing d fourishing
business. They, expect to rebuild their
building next spring.
O. w. Hart, the barber, did not lose
his place of business but only his
household goods, SO that he is continu-
ing as before. O. K. Kiorlaug, the
man in whose store the fire started, is
trying to arrange to start up business
again, but it is understood is having
a hard time of it. as he has no capital
and his partner, George Ash of Made
liza, it is said, is unwilling to go into

TRIAL WILL BE ONE OF MOST
NOTED in COURT HISTORY

Il One of the hardest fought and most
interesting legal battles in criminal
court history is soon to be waged in
the Brown county courthouse before
Judge Weber and a jury of twelve
men. The legal talent on both sides.
IS the best to be procured. For the
defense, Brown, Abbot & Somsen of
Winona, and Somerville & Olsen of
Sleepy Eye are engaged, the firms be-
ing two OF the most widely known in
the state. For the prosecution is
former Attorney General W. II. Childs
and probably an able assistant, who
has not yet been named. Money has
been no object on either side in pro-
curing attorneys and in working up
the case.
Not only is the trial one to be
memorable for the legal talent en-
ployed, but the case itself is a most
remarkable one in every respect. The
awfnlness and the brutality of the
murder; the prominence of the victim;
the prominence of the accused and his
previous high reputation. The chain
OF evidence that has been forged by
the prosecution is just strong enough
to make an equally strong defense
possible.
AS the case stands now the evidence
which seems to connect DIR. Koch with
