THE EDUCATED GLASSES OP-
POSED TO FRACAS.
Many of the Breeds Would Avoid
the Trouble With Full
BlOOdS.

A special from Washington, D.
G. says the interior department.
and Indian Office have realized
during the past few days that
the Minnesota delegation in con
gress keeps almost perfectly
posted on what is going on in
their world.
The White Earth sale which
was to have been rather quietly
conducted is now a "dead and
down" tim Der proposition and as
an original project of the depart
ments will be never resurrected.
The allotments of the remain
ing portions of the White Earth
reservation are now in process of
adjustment and Agent Thomas
W. Downs was yesterday sent
back to White Earth to obtain
some additional information,
which he did not bring with him
to Washington.
Mr.. Downs came here rather
committed to plan to divide the
unallotted lands up into tracts of
twenty acres each and then ap-
portion them out to the full bloods
and mixed bloods, his argument
being that it would make a more
equita bic disposition of pine. But
Commissioner Leupp does not
deem this advisable.
The Stevenson act of 1904
clearly provides that each Indian
shall receive additional allot-
ments, sufficient to make his
total land holdings 160acres.
This land belongs to the Indians
and the White Earth band rather
pride themselves as being intel
ligent and thrifty and to be able
to take care of a quarter section
of land. ..-..
Many of them, it is said at the
department. are educated men
and women, and they do not wish
to get into row with the full
bloods who are easily persuaded
by some of the white men who
have schemes of their own to
work.

RALPH WILL
MAKE SURVEY
Drainage Survey in Northern
Minnesota Will Be Made
by Crookston Man.

The state drainage board has
decided to divide the work of
making a typographical survey
of northern Minnesota and John
Abercrombie of Alexandria who
was originally assigned the work
was today told to do the work for
only two counties. George Ralph
of Crookston, will make the sur.
vey for six northern counties.
The change is made on account
Of alleged slow work by Aber-
GROIN bic.
Mr.. Ralph will take up the
work Instantly and push it to a
finish. Upon being pressed for
an interview in regard to the
matter he said: eyes, that T
should be permitted to relieve
Mr.. Abercrom bic of part of his
burden is an honor l appreciate.
| trust that in the handling of
the typographical survey I may
do work rapidly. I shall start
with a crew of six assistants to
Kittson and Roseau counties next
Monday morning. Our opera
tions for the next two or three
months will be confined to the
open country. It will not be un-
til winter comes that we will
tackle the timber and swamp
country.

Hears Wife Tell Police That
She Was Married to An
other Man.
WOMAN CLAIMED THAT HER
SPOUSE DIED OF TYPHOID.
Appearance of Her Right Husband
Startles Her Into Expression
of Disl0yalty.

To hear his wife claim that she
was married to another and that
he had died several years ago Of
typhoid fever, was the experience
of John Rauchman of Superior,
Wis, who arrived in Bemidj j last
night looking for the woman who
left him some time ago and came
to Bemidji to live with another
man.
Mr.. 'Rauchman, upon his ar
rival here, told the police that
the wife had deserted him and
that he believed that she was
here. He gave the chief de-
scription, and the result was that
in short time the woman and
the man with whom she was in
company were taken to the police
headqu quarters, where the woman s
right husband awaited her. The
police arranged so that Rauch-
man was concealed behind the
door of the room, and the woman
was wholly unconscious of his
presence. She was asked a few
questions and she claimed that
the man with whom she was
with, whose name is Siske, was
her right husband and that they
had been legally married. She
admitted that she had been mar
ried before, but that her former
husband had died of typhoid
fever. The woman said that she
had loved her husband and that
they had always lived happily to-
gether and expressed deep sor-
row over his untimely taking off.
She described him as he lay in
his coffin and said that he looked
$50 sweet" with roses all round
him. The concealed hus band
thought that she had reached
the limit, and stepped out into
the room.
The tableau presented when
the irate husband stepped out
was one that will never be forgot
ten by those who witnessed it.
Mrs. Rauchman showed surprise,
Indignation, then anger, and
while in the latter mood she vio-
lently exclaimed that she had
never loved her husband. Turn
ing to Siske, she said, This is
the man I love, and l don't care
who knows it," She admitted
that Rauchman was her right
husband, and 10 Judge Fender

Old Time Celebration Decid-
ed Upon by Business
Mems Club.
DISTRICT CONVENTION OF
WOODMEN AT SAME TIME.
Committee Appointed to Solicit
Funds for an Elaborate
Convention.

At a meeting of the Business
Mems Club last evening it was
decided to celebrate the Fourth
of July in Bemidji this year. It
is now several years since Be.
midi has attempted a celebration
of the nation birthday. For a
number of years past Bemidji
has been content to attend the
celebrations given by surround
ing towns and it seems no more
than right and fitting that the
city should take it's turn this
year.
The attendance at the meeting
of the club last evening was not
large but those present were un-
animously of the opinion that
celebration should be attempted.
A committee was present from
the Modern Woodmen and it was
agreed that the district conven-
ton of the " oodmen for north
ern Minnesota should be held in
Bemidji at the same time. The
convention will probably be a
three day affair and will help
materially to swell the crowd
which will visit the city for the
celebration.
A committee consisting of w.
H. Robert, G.. 3. Carson and e..
A. Schneider was appointed to
solicite funds for the cele bration.
It is planned to do everything on
an extensive scale and to make
the celebration the biggest occa-
sion of the kind ever held in the
northern part of the state.

OUTSIDE KEEPS
 EYE ON SEWARD
Coast Cities We'll Posted and Il, A, Ingalls, Predicts Big Rush
 Here This Winter.

Seward has found a place on the maps in use in Pacific coast cities. It was not 50 a few months ago when the Seattle newspapers were shipping the cargoeS of the Alaska Central to Nal- de2. Men have been coming here this fall from other parts of Alaska and from the states who said that they had just learned that the town wa, in existence and all agree that Seward is rapidly becoming the most talked of Alaska town. II. A. Ingalls,, the Nome mining man who was here two months ago and bonded Falls creek quartz property and who returned on the Oregon Saturday, said this week;
 "I expect a big rush 10 Seward this winter from all parts Of the Coast. [ was in San Francisco few days while I was outside and they were talking Seward down there. It iS the same way all along the Coast"
 Mir. Ingalls, k a reticcnt person. who talks very little about his own business and not much more concerning matter, of general interest. His simple state meut that he iS looking for a rush means that the opinion is based upon tangible information.
 The Oregon brought up several young men who had never been here but who came because of what they had recently heard concerning oppor- tunitics here. Other parts of Alaska draw their immigrants in the spring but Seward iS beginning to get them tine year around.
 l.. E. Shaw. formerly of the Nome Nuggjt, who is interested with Alr. Ingalls,, has said repeatedly since he came here month ago that all Sew ard needs iS advertising and the town will draw from all of Alaska because of its mildcr climate and the fact that it is an open port every day of every year.
