SCHOOL FUNDS IN DEMAND.
Counties to Get No Money Jan. I for
investment.

Land Commissioner Bach is sending
out letters to the county officers over
the state announcing that he has no
funds to disburse on Jan. l to the diff
ferent counties from the permanent
school fund for their investment.
There is only 1892 Of the fund lying
idle in the state treasury, and this
would make an apportionment so small
that it would be of no use to any coun-
ty. The balance of the fund, amount
ing to $4,670,499, is invested and draw
ing interest. For the past year the
permanent fund at no time has
amounted to more than a few hundred
dollars, all of it being kept out. The
money coming in is all placed long be-
fore 1t reaches the treasury, and is
sent to places waiting for 1t as fast as
it accumulates. The commissioner
congratulates the different county Off
GERS on their efforts in keeping the
funds invested.

Convlncinu Evidence.

Winthrop, Cal, Nov. goth Especially
A plain and straightforward story
is always the most convincing. And
that is what has impressed us most
in reading the testimonials In regard
to Dodd's Kidney Pills. The expert
ence told by Davis Lewis of this place
bears the ring and stamp of truth
upon it. He says
Il was troubled for six months
with dull, heavy pains in the small
of my back, sometimes it passed into
my stomach, at other times up be-
tween my shoulders. When it was
in my stomach l was doubled up, and
hardly knew what to do for the pain.
l was advised to take all kinds of
remedies, and did SO, but without get
ting any relief. Then some one told
me TO try Dodd's Kidney Pills. l got
a box and began taking them. The
first few doses gave me relief, by the
time | had finished them all the pain
was gone and | have been well ever
since"

LACK or ADVERTISING.
North Dakota's Population Shows Big
Gain Over South Dakota.

=-a obV SvSt SVoeb SoNSto
When the two Dakotas were admit
ted to statehood, in 1889, South Dako-
ia had fully a third more population
than did the north state.
At the present time the population
OF the two states is practically the
same, as shown by the census of this
year. Ever since the admission, North
Dakota has been working to secure
new population. It's state land depart
ment is supplied with a sufficient fund
for advertising purposes to send out
Illustrated circulars and a large
amount of printed matter, in which
not only the state lands alone are ad-
vertised, but the section in which they
are located is shown up to the best
advantage.
During the same time the Great
Northern road has kept in existence

has done a great deal towards secur-
rng settlers for hat state. For the
came time every effort to secure any
thing in the way of an appropriation
from the legislature of South Dakota
tor advertising the state or keeping an
Immigration bureau in existence has
met with a cold rundown.
Nothing has been done outside OF
private efforts Of different land compa-
MES. The result of the different poll
cies followed by the two states is
shown in the figures which give North
Dakota a gain of 10000 in population
since 1890, and South Dakota a gain
Of but 10000.

Is hoped that if the next Legislature

SCARE WOMEN TO OPEN JAIL.

friends of one of the prisoners in the
county Jail. awaiting trial, tried to in
timidate Mrs. Harry Wright, hoping
thereby to compel her to telephone her
husband. on duty as jailer, to come
home to her assistance. The visitors,
a man and woman, badly scared Mrs.
Wright by trying doors and peeping
into windows fer three hours, when
they were frightened away. Mrs.
Wright was alone, and as the tele-
phone was not working she vas I'M
able to ecure help. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that another person in the plot
was hid near the jail door while the
operations were on at the Wright
home.

Additional Claim for Turkey.

The great American bird, descend
ed from the Phoenix of old, has a way
peculiar to itself of turning up at stat
ed intervals. 1t is indeed possible
that the ancients when they wrote
about the fowl that rose triumphant
from the ashes. made a hitherto I'M.
discovered reference to the Thanks
giving turkey. OF course, there is .
gaping hole in this argument, because
the ancients had no Thanksgiving day
nor yet turkeys, but that is q matter
for theorists to fuss about.

COLE OUTPUT is VAST.
Black Hills Have Recorded $4,000
coo, in 90 Years.

The Black Hills have produced in

made from a ece estimate by n
OF the principal mining men Of Lead.
This output is from the mills and from
the placer mines and is based on ac-
tual returns. Just what the Black
Hills has produced outside this record
no person ever could estimate. Thou
sands Of dollars were mined and sent
out in private ways which never have

output, owing to a large number OF

commission. These new plants will
have a daily capacity of from 200 to

late this afternoon The defendant
was on the witness stand several hours
today and he testified that he had no
recollection of shooting his wife,
though he did not deny firing the

insanity, produced by his wife per-
sistently refusing to live with him.
The case will go to the jury tomor-

nounced this afternoon that they
would argue to the jury that the State
had failed to prove generalization
and deliberation, hence they could
not convict the prisoner of murder
