LANDS TO BE SOLD
State Will Dispose of Farm Property
lnSouthern Minnesota.

CT'i NiOIudy bhIiS
The October sale of school lands which
the state auditor is to hold in southern
Minnesota during October will probably
bring little money for the state. There
are 1854 acres to be offered, lands
which for many years past the public
has been asked to purchase and has re-
fused. The land is the ,''leavings" Of
state holdings in southern Minnesota AMI
is good for little except pasturage Much
of it is along the Mississippi river, and
in the high water stage can be best ira
versed in boats. The offerings will he
as follows: In Dakota county, 400
acres; in Goodhue, l20 acres; in Ohm
sted. 941. acres; in Wmona, l,24O acres:
in Fillmore, 100 acres: in Houston, $50
acres.
Next July the state auditor plans to-
hold sale of school II Ids in the north
ern counties of the state. These will
include some valuable agricultural lands
and will probably bring good prices
All state lands must bring at least So
an acre. and Is per cent of the price
is to be paid at the sale. the rest of
the price any time within forty years.

RAlN CUT ATTENDANCE.
Picnic at Lake Madison Yesterday
Mas Much Enjoyed.

FROM Mondays Daily.
The annual picnic held yesterday at
Madison Lake by All Saints Catholic
church was interferred with by the rain
but nevertheless was a very pleasant
event, greatly enjoyed by those attend
ing it. The Concordia band of this CITY
went on the morning train, spending the
day there, and discoursing some of its
best selections during the afternoon and
evening, this being very agreeable fea-
ture of the day. The Great Western
road added two coaches to its regular
equipment in the morning, but the at
tendance from this city was only about
fifty, the rain lettering great many
who would have otherwise gone. The
attendance from the village and coul-
tryside was fairly large, and the man.
agement came out about even, final,.
cially.
There were games and amusements in
the afternoon, and basket picnic din
ner and supper were served.

NOT THE MAN.
Otto Dollar Disciaims Connection
With white Horse Mystery"


Otto Dollar, whose name has been
brought out in connection with the
"white horse mystery" states that he
was not the man connected with that
famous case. He says that while he has
white horse, it is not capable of the
speed that has been attributed to the
snowy equine in the tales of the mys-
terry. He also has buggy with side
curtains. but its gear is not yellow trim
med. Mr.. Dollar states that he will
give 500 to anyone who can prove that
he was the man in the "white horse
mystery"
Speaking of the testimony which he
gave at the trial of August Niebel for
assault upon his wife, Mr.. Dollar states
that he did not testify that he had some
property in Mrs. Nebel's house, which
was the reason for his calling there, but
that he went there to take tobacco
stems. for use in the hen house. He
states that whenever he went there it
was merely in the line of his express
business. He made no social calls upon
her.

DULUTH ACCEPTS SPELLING.
New Form Of Framing Up WORDS
Goes In Schools.


The public schools of Duluth will
adopt simplifed smelling on AT optional
basis. The list of 900 words suggested
by the simplified spelling board will be
circulated among the city schools, and
the children given to understand that
the forms suggested are convenient AMI
regarded as correct, and the choice OF
spellings left entirely to the pupil.
Said Superintendent Denfeld yester-
day: 81 am in favor of the movement
taken by the board i'm the direction of
simplifying the spelling of the language,
and of every one of the rules they sug-
gest There is nothing new or especially
startling about any of these rules, mary
forms having been in use by good au-
thorities in the literary world for years.
The most radical rule of the lot is that
replacing the suffix ed by IT, and even
this may be found in the works OF
various writer's for many years.
"We will teach the children the sim
pier forms as well as the old one, and
hope in time to educate them to the
use of the new spelling which, by its
simplicity, will appeal to them. There
will be nothing compulsory about it,
and the old form will not be corrected"
Superintendent Mcconnell has read
the statement made by Superintendent
Denfeld and in answer to a question by
The Free Press said that the Mankato
teaching force has taken no formal ac-
,tion looking to the introduction of sim
plified spelling into the schools of Man
kato. Mr.. Mcconnell felt that the new
form of spelling could not be taken up
in the schools until the newspapers, edu-
Gators and the public generally accept it.

BUeL0W'S HORSE.
John Brown Nearly Gets Into Trouble
For Taking It.


From Mondays Daily.
August Buelow drove into town this
forenoon with roam horse and light
runabout, and after purchasing some
groceries hitched in front of the North
Star saloon. A young man named John
Brown spoke to him about buying his
horse and asked permission to try the
animal. He drove around little and
brought the horse back. Later he said
he thought he could sell the horse to
Mr. Gunstrom, the butcher, and asked
permission to show it to him. Mr. Bue-
low says that he told the young man
not to take the horse. as he did not
care to sell. Others corroborate him. 1t
appears, however, that Brown took the
horse anyway and was gone nearly three
hours, driving to his home in West Man
kato and getting his dinner and then
showing the horse to Mr.. GunstrOm and
trying to sell it to the latter for $50.
In the meantime. when Mr.. Buelow
discovered that his horse was gone, he
notified the police. Officer Robb was
starting out to search for it and Brown,
when the latter drove by the city hail.
The officer stopped him, tied the horse,
summoned Mr.. Buelow, and the latter
consulted County Attorney Hughes
about getting out warrant, but was
refused one
Brown said that he was merely trying
to sell the horse for Buelow. He was
allowed to 90.

= SAVED TWO LIVES.
Travelling Man M axes Heroic Res
cue at Sioux Falls, S. D.
Fro do noil

From Mondays Daily. i
BY his heroism in saving two lives
while in Sioux Falls. b. Jensen, a, travel
ing man whose home is at South Omaha
has placed himself in line for Carna-
gle hero medal
Jensen, by jumping into the Sioux
river saved the lives of Miss Maude E.
Brandt, Sioux Falls belle, and Pearl
Loeffler, a travelling man.
Loeffler, i'll company with Miss
Brandt, was boating on the Sioux in "A
rowboat when the little craft was run
into by gasoline launch which carries
passengers and excursion parties TO
points of interest in the vicinity. They
were soon struggling helplessly in the
river.
Jensen, notwithstanding that it was
dark, the accident having occurred at
about nine o'clock at night, leaped with
out an instant's hesitation, and with all
his clothing on, from the launch into
the river.
When he staggered up the bank after
the rescue he was vigorously cheered for
his heroic work.
{ Not for $1,000 would I have made
the leap into the river that Jensen
made" remarked a gentleman who was
an eyewitness of the entire thrilling
scene.
