that Mr.. Kelly should have insisted on

transactions would always agree with
the account kept at the bank.
Continuing. Mr.. Bagley said to Kelly:
You have an understanding with the
warden at once make your books agree
with the banks and charge to the war

in his own affairs.
Then have Mr.. Perrin authorize
you, over his signature to make the en-
tries necessary"
On May 18th, 1904, (see cash book
folio 1O3) the clerk made the proper en-
tries to straighten this affair." called the
Warden in his Office and told Mr.. Per-
rim that he knew his true condition.
Whereupon Mr.. Perrin confessed that
he, was sorry that he had not reported
matters correctly to the clerk, but
that he had expected to replace the
money within q short time, and even
had the promise of $4,000 in few
days.
Mr.. Perrin turned back into state
funds during the month Of May in the

SETTLERS REACH
FOR SWAMP LANDS
DuIuthlans Support Bede's
Bill to Get Acres Away
From the State.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 20-Duluth peo-
pie are backing an effort which is now
being made by congressman J. Adam
Bede and others in the national house to
secure a change in the swamp land laws
whereby it is expected that settlers will
De able to wrest a large "a t of land
from the possession of tn, = It is
claimed that by unfair met and I'M
due influence government surveyors have
been induced to SO arrange their field
notes that immense tracts Of land which
have been designated as swamp has
gone to the state and is thus cut Off from
settlement.
The present law provides that the gov
eminent surveyors field notes shall be
final in determining the character Of
given piece Of land. If these data show
that the major portion of any given tract
is unfit for cultivation, it shall then be
Withdrawn from settlement and given to
the state.
1t is claimed that this has worked a
hardship on men who have ''squatted' on
unsurveyed government land, awaiting the
time that 1t would be opened for settle
ment. Many of them have spent months
In improving the property, in the antici-
patton of being able to prove up" only
to find that the surveyor had designed
That particular tract as swamp land"
and as such not available for settlement.
The effort is being made to have the
law so changed as to permit testimony
to be taken as to the character of any
given piece of land and allow this to de-
termine whether the land is swamp or Is
suitable for farming

Mourning PROFESSIONS Look Like Circus

Parades, and Cost as Much.
Even In the modern West funerals are
the occasions of ceremonial which at times
pass the bounds Of common sense, but for
elaboration Of detail and grotesque in
cidents on these mournful occasions we
must go to China. The obsequies attend
nese dignitary, Sheng Shu-ren, are said
to have resulted in the longest cortege
and certainly not the least extraordinary,
ever seen In Shanghai.
To give detailed account Of the pro-
cesSion, which was composed of over
1000 persons, would be tedious, and al
most impossible. There seemed to be very
little organization; silk banners and UNI
brellas were carried at intervals In the
long line, and the soldiery seemed not to
have the best idea of keeping In an or
10 a. m. from the Bubbling Well road,
and was headed by four mounted Sikhs,
followed by two large dummy figures,
drawn on rtckety trucks. which every mo-
ment looked as though they would col
lapse. The pair were intended to repre-
sent the advance couTiers Of the deceased.
There were several bands Of Chinese
musicians, and X their strains did not
brighten off the evil spirits they must GER
tainly have been trying to the good ones
Next to the band came a crowd Of
grotesque figures on horseback and then
followed q group OF soldiers carrying
MISUNDERSTANDING halberds and tridents.
A long procession Of coolies carrying BAN
ners and umbrellas, some of which were
most beautifully ornamenteu, came next.
The rest Of the procession was formed
of soldiery (who smoked and ate ON the
march), priests, In gorgeous vestments,
carrying sticks Of incense; banner and flag
bearers. The town band was also present.
At the rear Of the procession. just preced-
ing the mourners and the coffin, were the
wreaths sent by foreign friends. There
were over fifty OF them, and they were
carried separately on bamboo poles. The
mourners, Sheng Kung -pao, his younger
brothers and son, marched In a sort OF
moving tent, which completely obscured
them from view.
The coffin itself was q most gorgeous
