today in Criminal Court No. l. before
Justice Wright and q jury. That the

were several sharp tits between the at

Fields was seated near his counsel. d

if he were of counsel in the case and
frequently advised with his attorneys.
His counsel filed three separate motions
asking for a postponement of the trial
on different grounds. Two of these were
ovcrruled, and the other not considered
by the court. Fields listened to the rul-
ings against him by the court without
apparent evidence of surprise.

TO RECLAIM
SWAMP LANDS
Bill Providing $l5O,OOO for
for Drainage Introduced
by Senator Stephens.

Provision for the reclamation
Of thousands of acres of state
swamp land in the northern part
of the state is made in a bill in
PRODUCED in the senate yesterday
by Senator A. D. Stevens, of
Crookston. The bill enacts the
old drainage law, and appropri-
ates $15O,000 Of which $4,000 is
available in 1905 and $4,000 in
1906.
The state drainage board has
expended $4,000 in the con-
struction of bitches the last two
years and the advocates of an in
creased appropriation say that
every dollar of this added from
$40 to S25 to the wealth of the
state. Almost 100000 acres of
swamp lands were drained in the
two years, and the value of every
acre benefited was increased
from S. to $50.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not
try to suppress it, but remove
the cause. The cough is only a
symptom of some disease, and
the disease is what you should
cure, then the cough will stop it.

coughing is a cold. Anodynes
will promptly suppress the cough
and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, ETC., are used
for that purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy on the other hand
does not suppress the cough, but
relieves it by removing from the
throat and lungs the mucus
which INSTRUCTED the breathing

WILL BENEFIT
THE MINORS
Money Due Red Lake Indian
Children Will Be Placed
In Banks.


The Red Lake band of the
Chippewa Indians will receive
the first installment Of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of eleven town
ships Of their land, which were
disposed of last fall, about Feb
ruary 1.
The first installment may be
$50, 900 or it may be $115, 900. The
amount of distribution depends
upon rather interesting poiat.
Heretofore the distribution Of
moneys to the Indians has been
done on a per capita basis. Adult
and child have shared alike, the
moneys of the minors going to
their parents or guardians. In
the case of the distributions of
the proceeds for the Red Lake
townships that were sold lately,
the secretary of the interior, with
a view to benetitting the minors
Of the band, made ruling that
the money due them is placed in
a bank to their credit, to be avail
able when they become of age.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on the secretary
to change this ruling. If he does
not, the amount to be distributed
February | will be about $3.50, 900.
Should he cancel the ruling $115,-
900 will be distributed. There
are l, $40 Indians to share.

the origin of the system: In 1908 the board

tuition for the education of youth could not
be supported in anything like a state of
responsibility for the reason that no teach
er possessing requisite talents and charac-
ter could be induced to take charge for

corporation and the fees of pay scholars
Authority was given IN 1907 for the eree-
ton of two school buildings for the eastern
and western parts of the city, to be built
upon ground owned by the United States.
The only known specifications for these two
primitive school houses were that they were
not to exceed fifty feet in length and
twenty feet in width and to cost not more
than 81 200 each. The western school house
was located on lot q. square f27, which

Want of Support.
During the first forty. years of the exist
ence Of our public school system, although
many of our best citizens were enlisted in
ITS management, growth was retarded by
the want of proper provision for it's sup
port. The act of 1904 gave it the yearly
sum of 81 500 from the proceeds of taxes
laid on slaves, dogs, licenses from car
faages ana hacks for ordinaries and tav-
ems, Tor retailing wines and spirituous
liquors, for billiard tables for theatrical
and other amusements, and for hawkers
and peddlers This amount was not mate
rlaiiy increased for more than a quarter of
a century. An interesting fact and one not
generally known is that between 1872 and
1888 fourteen joint resolutions authorizing
lotteries for the benefit of the public schools
were passed by Congress. Some of these
revenues We're invested in stocks and des-
1gnated as school funds, the interest on
which was applied to the support of the
schools until Congress in 1878 began to
make appropriations for the schools with
out reference to the school fund. When
Congress in 1881 was appealed to to appro-
pirate money for the first high school build

OF our legislators to spending public money
