SENATOR TILLMAN DENIES
HE'S INTERESTED IN LAND
Pitchfork' Statesman Red Over Assertion that He Is
Behind Syndicate Which Is Going After the Ore.
gon Land Grant Tracts.

The St. Paul Dispatch of Monday
contained telegram from Washing
ton concerning some Oregon land
grant schemes which may possibly
have an indirect bearing on the
Oregon railroad land grants in which
many local parties have an interest.
The message referred to is as
follows:
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Car
olina, whose name was used in the
circular issued by the St. Paul and
Pacific timber syndicate, is going
after that concern with pitchfork.
He has placed the matter in the
hands of the inspection division of
the postofice department, for the
purpose of investigation. It is
claimed in the circular issue, that
Senator Tillman is much interested
in the scheme. The circular says:
That the right men are behind
this movement will be appreciated
at once when I state that among
those who have spoken through our
attorney for part of this land, is
Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, leader of the Democratic party
in the United States senate, man
who usually gets what he goes after.
So sure is Senator Tillman of our
success that he has subscribed and
paid the necessary fees for a quar-
ter section for himself and ten other
quarter sections for ten of his near
est relatives.'
When Senator Tillman read the
above statement he denounced it on
the floor of the senate, and said:

during June and July 396, 900 acres
of land in the northern part of
Minnesota. The tracts include
prairie, meadow, timber and some
swamp lands. There is probably
very little of it that cannot be made
to produce excellent crops, and none
of it that will not be worth much
more in a few years than will be
asked by the state this summer.
The good land available for SETTLE
ment in this state and the rest of
the Northwest is diminishing rap.
idly. It is a question of only
short time before. there will be no
more on the market, and then
sharp rise in land values may be
expected.
One cannot we'll make a mistake
in putting money into fertile acres.
They may be depended upon to
produce the interest on the cost
and to yield a handsome profit as
prices of land advance. The terms
offered by the state make the
purchase Of tract of land possible
for practically every frugal person.
Only IS per cent of the purchase
price is required at the time of the
sale, and the balance may run for
forty years at 4 per cent. The sale
offers an opportunity to every
young man, by a little thrift and
economy, to lay the foundation of
a competence. But he is expected
to go on the land and make good"

AS a matter of fact, 1 have not
bought any land anywhere in the
West nor undertaken to buy any. I
have made some inquiries, as one
naturally would in roaming through
the West. simply want people of
the country to be warned that this
swindler at Portland has no warrant
whatsoever for endeavoring to in
veigle others into his game.
have telephoned to the post
office department to ask the official
in charge of the fraud order bureau
to come down here so I can present
the evidence and endeavor to block
this record in order to give it>pub-
licity.'
Senator Fulton, of Oregon, made
this statement:
The scheme very evidently is
for the company issuing the circu-
lar to accumulate a vast fund of
money by getting dupes throughout
the country, to send it to them.
They are advertising that these
lands can be acquired because con-
gressional grant provides that the
land should be sold to private in
dividuals in quantities not to exceed
100 acres, at $3.50 per acre. :, But
the probability is that the courts
will hold that whenever that ques-
tion is presented that no Individual
can take advantage of the provision,
and that the government alone can
enforce, by some proper method,
the observance of this condition.
Any suits brought by private indi-
viduals in all probability will fall"

STANTON CONGRATULATED
ON GODETTS PROSECUTION
Case Was Very CIeverIy Worked 0ut..-
Mr.. Stanton in the City
Today.

c. w. Stanton of International
Falls, county attorney of Koochi-
ching county came down from his
home this morning and appeared
before Judge Spooner looking after
some legal matters in which he is
interested.
Mr.. Stanton has been the recipient
of many congratulatory commenda-
tions on the very efficient manner in
which he handled the prosecution in
the recent trial of the state VS.. James
Godetts, in which Godetts was found
guilty and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life.
Mr.. Stanton closely followed up
every part connected with the trial
and after resting his case and allow
ing the defendant to testify brought
in rebuttal evidence that was very
strong and which undoubtedly con-
victed the defendant and caused
the jury to bring in a verdict of
guilty, despite the fact that Judge
Spooner charged them that they
must render verdict of guilty of
wilful, premeditated and brutal mur-
der or accquittal. The trial of the
case and the results thereof was
certainly a great victory for Mr..

that he will secure artificial feet and
soon be able to get about among

There is no better fellow on top
of this world of trouble than Frank
Jeffers, and anything within reason
that he wants, over in Polk or Red
Lake counties, will undoubtedly be
given him, in his hour of need.

infatuated with the l6.year.old Daughter
of Charles Fleischman, j. 0. Jahnke
Asks Her Hand in MARRIAGE.
Crazed by Girls Refusal, Jahnke Stays
Her and Sends Bullet Crashing
Into His Own Brain.

infatuated with the charms of a
16-year-old girl who spurned his in
sane love, ]. 0. Jahnke, aged 80, at
$50 o'clock this morning shot and
instantly killed Laura Fleischman
at her fathers home near Tenstrike
and then turned the gun on himself,
putting a bullet in his own brain
and dying instantly.
The horrible crime was committed
in the presence of three smaller
children, members of the FleiSchman
family, who were the only witnesses
of the shooting.
1t appears that Jahnke asked the
Fleischman girl to marry him and
her refusal to become engaged
coupled with the statement that
she did not love Jahnke turned the
latter's love to hatred and created in
his mind the insane determination to
destroy the object of his infatuation
and end his own earthly career.
1t appears that Jahnke taught
school three years ago in the dis
trict known as the Ralph school,
near the home of Mr.. Fleischman.
Laura Fleischman was one of the
scholars who attended Jahnke's
school.
Two years ago Jahnke left Ten
strike, and has since made his
home at Langdon, N. D. He
kept up a correspondence with the
Fleischman family, and appeared
to be on very friendly terms with
them.
Jahnke came back to Tenstrike
three months ago and has been
making his home at the Fleischman
farm since that time.
Jahnke had evidently been pay
ing his attention to the Fleischman
girl since returning, but her father
was not aware of the fact until
yesterday afternoon, when Jahnke
told Fleischman that he was a
great admirer of the girl and
wanted to marry her. Mr.. Fleisch-
man told Jahnke that the girl was
too young to think of becoming a
wife, and that he would not con-
sent to her marriage to anyone at
the present time.
Yesterday afternoon Jahnke asked

why it is the best of personal and family

on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

A Hollow Rail-,

A hollow rail has just been invented
by J. c. Allendorph. The standard
now in use is 81 inches high with
5k inch base. and is solid. Mr.. Allen.
dorph's rail is inches high, with a
6-inch base, and is hollow. There is
also a device for connecting these
rails which takes the place of the
familiar fish-plate. It consists OF a
plate feet long and inches wide,
and carrying an upright the length of
plate, which Ats into the hollow OF the
rails to complete the connection. II
is asserted that the danger of spread.
ing rails will be greatly minimized.
The present standard rail carries 80
pounds to the yard, while that Of Mr..
Allendorph is only II. At $2S q ton
for rails this would mean q saving OF
$517.76 per mile.

Of many farmers throughout the coun-

When Channel island cattle were
first imported to the United States.
and for long time thereafter, both
Jersey and Guernsey, and especially
the former, were called by many peo-
pie Attorney cattle. The Island of
Attorney is one of the Channel group,
and although the third in size is too
small to export any cattle. 1t prob
ably has no cattle except few for
family use, and so far as records
show none were ever exported from
there. The name may have originated
from the fact that Attorney. having
a good harbor and being nearer Eng
land, all the vessels carrying cattle
or produce from Guernsey and Jersey
formerly cleared from the Attorney
port before leaving the islands for
England. This may have given the
impr ession to early English importers
that they were Attorney cattle, and
the name SO came to this country.
The fact is that there is no such
thing as an Attorney breed of cattle.
