lands or 2.O6s. $50 acres. II all together the
school lands of Oklahoma would make a
| body of land more than three times the
area Of Sedgwick county. Kansas. The
fourth biennial report of the secretary
of the board for leasing territorial lands
for 1902 showed that there were at that
time 3.3u school land iessees Secretary
Wenner says there are now 1000 and they
are constantly increasing because the
large holders are giving up the land where
they have been held for grazing purposes
1t will be seen from these figures that the
men who have rented the school lands
will be quite factor in the government of
the territory. In addition TO this immense
body Of land given to Oklahoma by the
general government for school purposes
the Hamilton bill which provides for the
admittance of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory into the union as one state
makes an appropriation of five million
dollars to the new state Of Oklahoma for
school purposes.
The rental of these school lands fur
nishes material for interesting study.
Some of the school land lessees claim that
the rents are too high while the school
land board insists that the renters have
the advantage of the men who own their
own farms Here are the figures given
for the average rental value per quarter
section in the different counties OF the
territory:
Kay county, s1os.57: Noble county, s7o. "a;

Special to The Journal.
Albert Lea, MINI, Nov. 1.-The gu
bernatorial battle is coming to close
in Freeborn county with increasing de-
moralization in the Dunn forces. With
practically all the old-time leaders of
the republicans openly out for John
son and blunder after blunder being
made by Mr.. Dunn or his management,
the rank and file are daily deserving
The final blow to the last remnants
Of republican optimism regarding Dunn
were shattered by the publication in
yesterdays j Journal of facsimile
reproduction of Dunn g letter to Heat
wole. Copies of the paper were
snapped up so rapidly that at 8 CLOCK
this morning there was not one left in
the town.
Following Dunn IS denial that he had
ever written such letter, the publica-
tion was taken as final proof of The
most reprehensible political Implicitly.
A tireless republican worker said
this morning that he hoped for nothing
better than majority of 400 for Dunn
in this strong republican county, which
has given candidates for governor as
high as 1900. Eustis carried this
county the year Lind beat him by 900.
g If Dunn cannot get as many votes
as Eustis got in this county, SAID a
prominent republican, - don't see
what hope, there is for him to carry
the state. .
Such men as Senator T. ". Khatvold,
Senator Dunn, Senator Morgan, DR..
Wedge and Ray G. Blackmer, strong
republicans all Of them, are for John
son strong. DR.. Wedge may BIO described
as the leading republican Of the county.

HERSCHOVITz GOES FREE
NEW TRIAL IS GRANTED, BUT IT
WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE
CALLED. = - L. N. y 3 Is.

Judge A. NJ. Harrison this morning
granted the defendants motion for a
new trial in the case Of the state
against Louis Herschovitz, convicted Of
abducting Annie Sundquist.s The de-
PENDANT will be released on $500 bail,
and if. the affdavits read in court this
morning are Substantially, he will
never be tried again. rs
+ George B. Leonard, attorney for the
defendant, based his motion upon two
points, namely: = That the state had
failed to introduce any proof that
the complaining witness was unmarried
and that new evidence, tending to
show that the girl was not of good char
acter, had been discovered. The coun-
ty attorney made no argument and the
court held that either point was suffi-
cient ground for the granting of the de-
PENDANT S motion.
In support of his claim of newly dis
covered evidence, Mr.. Leonard intro
duced half dozen affdavits Of we'll
known citizens Of Cambridge, Mimi,
the girl g former home, which were
unanimous in stating that the girl had
borne notably bad'' reputation for
truthfulness and chastity.
Among the affdavits was one sworn
to by O. L. Sundquist, the husband Of
the girls mother, and it was stated
therein that Annie s word could not be
depended upon, that her habits were bad
andthat the whole countryside was cog
infant of her imprudent ways.

SATISFACTORY WORK OF NEW
PUMPING STATION IN NORTH
EAST MINNEAPOLIS. II.

That the new pupmping- station in
Northeast Minneapolis is doing eco
nomical service for the city is striking
ly shown in the October report of j. H.
Mcconnell, supervisor of waterworks.
The city used during the month 493,-
159,145 gallons of water, which equals
a daily average of 15,908,359 gallons.
s. A year ago, with the old pumps at the
age was 21,243,406 gallons or 100000
gallons more every day than was being
given for the corresponding month Of
the present year. The actual consump-
tion of water in the city is probably
larger now than year ago, at least. it
is no less and all the indications point
was being pumped than the. city used:
It was known that the ',slippage,''
meaning thereby the waste Of water
which slipped past the plungers, was
very great, but no one suspected that
it could have been as large as 6,00O,-
900 day. AS the month just past was
dryer than October Of last year, more
old station been in use last month";
1T costs something like So per million
gallons to pump water at the Camden
Place station. The new station thus
saved the city about $36 day, or about
81 900 for the month.
It has been found that it is more
economical to use coal at the North
east station than to use sawdust at the
Camden Place station, as 1,S41 pounds
Of coal will raise 1000 gallons of water
to the reservoir, and this amount oil
coal will cost about 81.
While the new pumps are being usei
to supply the city with water, thu
Worthington pumps across the river are
being placed in frst-class condition, ani
when the. repair work has been com
pleted the city will have reserve sta
tion almost as reliable and economical
as the principal station, as the expen
sive features, such as q slippage, ,
which could not be corrected when tn
Camden Place pumps were the only one
which could be used, is now rectifed

FEUD AT HAssAN
Quarreling Neighbors Use Each Other
for Shotgun Targets.

Promiscuous shooting seems to have
been the rule at Hassan recently
Sheriff j. w. Dreger brought in one
prisoner yesterday afternoon and may
vet get another participant in the fusi-
lade. John Schurmans is the man I'M
der arrest, and he is said to have shot
thru the coattails Of Jesse Babler, while
he in turn was shot in the hand and
his hat was perforated.
The trouble is all said to have arisen
in the first place when Mrs. Babler Sc
cured q verdict for SANDER against Mr..
Schurmans..a Since that time there has
BEEN bad blood between the families,
and one Of them walking over the 9th
Ter s. land is the direct cause of the
latest trouble.
Schurmans was arraigned in court this
morning, but was dismissed on motion
Of the county attorney. who stated that
he did not know that the man had been
wounded when the complaint was is
sued. The case may be reopened be-
fore a Justice Of the peace at Hassan.
