Loaned Over q Million Of the School
Fund.
At the close of the first year of the
management of the affairs of the state
department of school and public lands
by Commissioner G. J. Bach, he has
sent out to the various county officers
over the state a letter showing what
the department has done for the year.
The letter shows that over 81, 000, 900
of the state school fund has been
placed in the year in the way of farm
loans and municipal securities. This
is divided into the different classes of
securities as follows: Farm loans.
$649, 778; school bonds. $3.50 800; mu-
nicipal bonds, $1S2,500; county bonds,
$50. $50. This makes the total s 1867
03S. CT this amount the Office has
sent out $941,s 800, and the balance has
come from renewals of loans that
have been paid and the money re-
loaned. There Is only $71.S0 of the
school fund idle In the state treasury,
which is certainly gratifying to the
taxpayers Of the state.

election will occur at the same time
as does the general ticket. The set
ting of judicial nominations and cleo

Of keeping them as far as possible

RED ROMANCE e.
Beautiful Indian Maiden With a Flcki,
Mind.

Beautiful Indian Maiden with q Ftckie
Mind.
That there is many a slip betwixt
the cup and the lip" will be long re-
membered by big John Rain-in-the-
Face, a full-blooded Sioux Indian OF
the Santee agency in Nebraska . Big
John had for many Don been in
love with Elizabeth Campbell. the
most beautiful maiden at the Santee
agency, and before she came to visit
some friends at Sisseton agency In
this state no other thoughts entered
her mind than that she was to be his
life partner.
Some weeks ago she met Moses
Cloud. a Sisseton Indian. Moses Is
good to look upon and has been edu-
Gated at Carlisle Indian school, and
when he met the fair Elizabeth he fell
in love at first sight, and his advances
we're not repulsed. Through some Of
his friends Big John heard that Eliza
beth had found a better buck than he.
and thinking that possession was nine
points of the law. came up to Sisseton
agency to claim his own.
After some parleying 1t was agreed
that Big John and Elizabeth we're to
come to Milbanll and be united. How
ever Moses Cloud was not to be cheat
ed so easily. He and his friend, John
Wanamaker, drove to Summit and
took the train for Milbank, where they
consulted Justice Bleser. They Sc
cured a license and awaited the ar.
rival Of Big John and his party. When
the Sisseton train pulled in the sher-
if happened to be at the station, and
Big John, remembering he had q
friend in the Grant county Jail,
thought It a gracious act to visit him.
This was Moses Clouds opportunity.
He rushed the fair Elizabeth up to
Justice Bleser and in five minutes they
were legally man and wife. When Big
John came from the Jail he suspected
all was not right and began a search
for Elizabeth and for the scalp OF
Moses. Eventually he was persuaded
to take the midnight train for his Ne.
braska home, where he declares he
will wed a much pretty squaw" with
broad acres in western Nebraska.
