WINTER SPORT News.

Our old friend Noisy Bill Rapps,
who played in bygone years in the out
field for Leavenworth and Oklahoma
City has been signed for the first base
job for the Kaws. William will be re-
membered as a peppery chap, who was
famous in these parts before Doc
Shively was separated from his West
ern Association meal ticket. He has
played first base for the Portland club
in the Pacific Coast League for four
years and his club has finished well
most of the time. He isn't a young
ster nor a 300 hitter, he hit PA last
year, but he's a good ball player and
more fun than Bill Dwyer used to be.
Another Kaw trade is in the air and
will likely be announced as soon as
waivers are secured. The manager de-
clines to discuss it at present 1t is
rumored however, that this is the King
trade, mentioned in this column some
time ago. The deal as mentioned at
that time might prove a help to the
Kaws, not because it removes King but
because it bring a good man to another
place on the squad.
And the Doin's at Lincoln are prob
ably touching and fearful.

Referring to the little writeup in

ceptions and say this mans name is

by him, and that he lives on a farm
just few miles from Scandal, and
that his brother is in business here in

will assure you that 'Tommie" will

lust write me or any of his friends in
Scandal. We all know him and lots
of good things about his ability. Yours

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
CALL EXTRA SESSION
Definite Announcement Made BY Mr..
Eberhart; His Reasons For This
Altitude

St Paul, Sept. 24.-There will be
no special session of the present Min
nesota legislature. Governor Eber-
hart announced that because OF the
unresponsive attitude of the house or
SANITATION he is convinced that no
measure for state control of public
utilities can be passed now. He will
refer the matter TO the next regular
session and make it the issue of the
next primary and general elections.
The governor, in brief statement
giving his reasons for his change OF
position, puts the entire responsibility
for the failure to obtain some utilities
legislation this year up to the house or
ganization, represented by Speaker
Henry Rines OF Mora and w. |. Nolan
Of Minneapolis, chairman of the house
special committee on public utilities.
Because he is convinced that this or
ganiZation, which defeated the meas
IRE at the regular session, would
block its passage at the special SEES
sion. he does not feel justified in call
ing the special session.
The governors statement practical
ly is an announcement that he will be
a candidate for reelection, although
he does not say SO in so many words.
The only way of securing the enact
ment of a public utilities law for Min.
nesota is by submitting the entire
matter to the people, he says.

LOOK FOR S5O,OOO,OOO
FROM SWAMP LANDS
Disposal Of Surface Rights and Miner
ais BY the State TO Bring
Large Fortune

According to an estimate just pre-.
pared by State Auditor Iverson, $780,
100000 will ultimately be realized by
the state from the sale of swamp
lands, obtained under the federal
grant of the early sixties. l-
In 1907 the legislature enacted a
law providing that the income from
moneys received from the sale of
land, timber and minerals on the
state swamp lands is to be divided
equally between the common school
fund and the state institutions, in pro-
portion to the cost of support. This
fund in land contracts and bonds,
all interest bearing, now amounts to
$3,5S3,42S. The income is about
per cent and is rapidly increasing as
result of large shipments of iron
ore from swamp lands in st. Louis
county.
According to Mr.. Iverson, large
iron deposits have already been
found on these swamp lands and
more are sure to follow. It is from
this source that the $5O,0O0,0OO her
itage is to be obtained. This amount,
it is estimated, will be reached by
1860 at the latest, and then the state
institutions will get an income, out

FALSE TEETH MAY give
CLEW TO THE DEAD MAN
Store MoIars Have Been Turned Over
To Dental Society For An
Investigation

The false teeth found beside the
dead man under the brush pile near
the river Monday afternoon, seem
to be the only clue to the identity of
the murdered man. Inquiries by the
police department from Fort Smell
ing have uncovered nothing.
The records have been looked up
and it was found that no one bear
ing a name in any way similar to
Silas c. SHE, the name written in
the memorandum book found under
the dead body, has been in the fort
for the past five years, and farther
back than this, the authorities did
not deem it advisable to go. A
round of the stores here have failed
to develop anything. The trade
mark on the trousers bore the word,
Hugo" but this does not necessarily
signify that the garment was made
BY the Hugo Shirt company here.
AS far as learned, the suit was not
purchased in Mankato
The false teeth are to be turned
over to the dental society through
County Attorney J, w. Schmitt. Dr..
C. P. Peterson, secretary of the To-
cal dental association, will attempt
to identity the teeth. False teeth
are ell different and the teeth are
numbered, so that the dentist or COM
pany who manufactured the mastica-
tory appliances, will know them.
