Twenty=Six Go Out.

Twenty-six deputy land commission
ners in Northern Minnesota ana
Dakota are involved in the recent
order emanating from the department
of justice, calling for the resignation
of these officials.
Several years ago congress passeda an
act, permitting the appointment OF
certain officials residing in towns re-
mote from land offices, who should be
qualified to receive entries for land
and to accept final proofs, their acts
being subject to the review OF the
officials of the district in which they
were located and the department al
Washington.
Instead of making these officials
answera BILE to the land department
they were tackled onto the department
or justice and were to be appointed by
judge of the United States court.
Most of the Officials in Northern
Minnesota were named by Judge
William Lochren of st. Paul. 1t is
claimed that too many were appointed
and that in some instances they were
incompetent. Accordingly it was de-
cided to ask the greater number OF
them to resign, the idea being to a.
low at least one in each of the inn
portant towns to remain in office.
Commissioner WestcOtt .of this city
has not as yet officially heard of his
being let out, He probably is one to
be retained as being in one of the inn
portrait towns. 1t is to be hoped
this Is true as considerable additional
expense would be caused entrymen If
compelled to 20 to Duluth to transact
business.
Duluth land officials pointed out
that they had nothing to do with
either the appointment or discharge
of these officials and consequently
they resented the imputation, pur-
porting to come from Hibbing that
the resignation were caused by a de-
sire tn prevent the abridgement of
fees which would naturally come to
the Duluth Office. The fee which the
Duluth office gets from these COM
missioners is exactly the same .as if
the entry is made at headquarters
and the only change that is made is
that some of the work which would
naturally have to he performed here is
done by the special commissioner.
1--WE have nothing to do with these
officials" said Receiver J. M. Smith,
'and the question of fees has never
entered into the case, SO far as we are
concerned. The Government estab-
lshed certain fee, in all cases. If
the commissioner takes the entry he
is permitted to charge a certain adj
ditional fee, which is his compensa-
tion. He returns to us the same
amount as if we had made the collec-
tiOn ourselves"

STRANGE WILLS
A Dozen Statues to Cost $4,000 Each
Provisions Of Will.
Westminster Gazette)

There have been many will makers
more eccentric than Mr.. MacCraig
the Scotch banker, whose last tesla
ment will shortly come under the con-
sideration of the Edinburgh Court of
Session. Mr.. MacCaig, it may be re-
membered, left instructions in his Will
that gigantic statues Of himself, MS
brothers and sisters, a round dozen
in all, should be placed on the sum-
NIT of a great tower he had commence
ed to build on Battery Hill, near
Oban- each statue to cost not less
than $4,000.
A much more whimsical testator
was Mr.. Sanborn, Of Boston, who
left $4,000 to Prof. Agassiz to have
his skin converted into drumheads
and two of his bones into drum,s::: .ks,
and the balance of his fortune to his
friend, Mr.. Simpson, on condition
that on every 18th of June he should
repair to the foot Of Bunker Hill, and.
as the sun rose, cheat on the drum
the spirit stirring strain of "Yankee
Doodle'
A Mr.. Stowe left a sum of money
to an eminent Kings counsel.

a viper singing his benefactor, =. as
a perpetual warning against the sin
of ingratitude.
1t was a rich English brewer who
bequeathed $4,000 to his daughter
on condition that on the brit. Of her
first child she should forfeit $4,000
to specified hospital, $4,000 on the
birth of the second child, and so on
by arit.metical progression until the
$3.50, 900 was exhausted.
Sydney Dickinson left $780, to

dition that she should spend two

THE STARBUCk MYSTERY
Henry County Will Take a Hand in
Apprel1ending Murderers.

New Castle, Ind, Aug. 15-The
county council, which was called in
special session, authorized the county
commissioners to make an appropria-
ton of $500 to be used as a reward for
the arrest and conviction of the muir
derers of Mrs. Starbuck and her baby
girl, who We're killed and thrown into
an abandoned well on the night of
July 8.
In addition to the $500 offered by
the county, friends and neighbors of
William StarbucK, the husband of the
murdered woman, have, it is under
stood, subscribed another $500 The
total amount will shortly be duly post
ed and another arrest will doubtless
follow in short time.
Sheriff Christopher is satisfied who
killed the defenseless mother and
child, but he has not sufficient evidence
to warrant an arrest. Further than
this, there have been no new develop
ments during the past week The das-
tardly attempt to chloroform Madison
Starbuck and Mrs. Mary Creetor, i'm
portant witnesses, has received much
attention during the last few days, but
1t, like the murder, is still shrouded
In cloud of mystery.

PREBLB COUNTY
And Home PRIDE Practical Illus
tration.
(Hamilton Republican News. J

(Hamilton Republican News.)
| Some Democrats hereabouts must
think that the good Republicans of
Preble county are great boobies which
they are not by any means. These
Democrats are trying to tell the Re-
pnblicans Of Preble county that local
pride should impel them to put aside
their principles and opinions and sup
port their 5neighbor, DR.. C. C. Conley
for congress. What an insult to the
character and common sense of the
Republicans of Preble county. Does
anyone believe that the Republicans
of Preble county are going to vote
INTO the congress of the republic a
free-silver Democrat, simply because
he happens to be a neighbor No man
can ask another to sacrifice conviction
for friendship without by the act con-
veying an insult
In addition it makes some difference
whose OK is being gored. Preble county
Democrats sang law on home pride
when the Hon. Andrew L. Harris of
their county was Republican can
dldate for congress, against the late
Paul J. Sorg of Butler county. just
four of them had sufficient sense of
home pride and neighborly feeling to
support Gen. Harris. The Eaton
Register thus records the incident:
Republican voters of Preble county
will not forget the congressional cleo
ton of 1894, when the s'local pride"
effected the votes Of but four Demo-
Gratis. Do any of our citizens think
that DIR. Conley would more ably and
consclentiously represent the county
Or the third district than our honored
citizen, Gen. A. l.. Harris?

ROYAL BABY
And the Battle - Russians Get One,
Japs the Other.
Commercial Tribune !


The baby has come to the Russians
but the battle has gone to the Japs.
There will be rejoicings in st. Peters
burg and handshakings in Tokyo. and
pity it is that the little child shall
not lead Russian and japanese to
forego further slaughterings and each
be content with his own vine and fig
tree-but he will not be- Neither the
stubbornness of the Russian nor the
determination Of the japanese will
submit to proposals for peace. until
the japanese victory at Port Arthur
has been supplemented by the sur
render Of Kuropatkin and his entire
army. Then Russia may see the in
evitable and appreciate it.
In the meantime the world is well
coming the little stranger, hoping that
he may live long and prosper, and
that in the fullness Of time and his
reign he may give to Russia and the
Russians a constitutional government,
on which the solidity of his throne
would not be questioned.
The only certainty in the news from
the far East is in the birth of a son
to the Gar and the giving of a victory
to the japanese. What has become Of
the Russian fleet assisting in the de-
Tense of Port Arthur is the question
difficult to disentangle from the mass
Of contradictory news, official and
otherwise. The greater probability is
that the feet is heading again for the
harbor of Port Arthur, notwithstand-
ing it is destruction within the harbor
or capture without.
That the feet steamed out from the
harbor, following the example Of gal
liant old Cervera, appeared to be GER
tain, but the only harbors of refuge
were those of neutral powers, and
Germany has cabled the German au-
thorities at Tsingchou to compel the
fleeing Russian vessels in the harbor
to leave within twenty-four hours.
To crawl back to Port Arthur har-
Dor appears to be the plan adopted by
the scattered Russian vessels, and, in
deed, there appears to be no other
harbor open to them and no haven of
safety elsewhere. Not even the COM
ing of the little stranger will dim the
glory of the victory of the sturdy and
the civilizing Japanese.

Laporte, Ind. Aug. 15.-Driven al

Sunday and fervently prayed for rain.
The drouth has been so protracted
that fires are devastating the country,
destroying immense quantities of grain

loss.
Farmers fear that the drouth will
become as severe as that of five years
ago. when hundreds of cattle persisted
