MINNESOTA STATE NEWS. fj Squatter* anil Boomers. The sooners who have squatted on township 150 are being driven out by the Indian police, and, while no blood shed has occurred, there is some ugly talk. This township is in dispute and the land office officials have :r.s,t» ac tions not to take filings on land in it. The other townships withdrawn from settlement are: 140-89, 157-27, 158-30, and W 27. Both 157 snd 158 are located in the northeastern, part of the reser vation, and are tamarack lands, not fit for settlement, anyway. The best fea ture of the Bed lake opening, so far, is the impetus given to the sale of loose farming lands in that vicinity. In one day the sales by local real estate men, of Red Lake Falls, aggregated over 10 quarter. sections and from 95 to $10, lying in contiguous townships. The streets present an interesting sight, lined on each side with a motley throng of strangers, and the prairie schooner looming up all in the center. All day and each day the crowd grows greater. It is remarkable, considering that the opening is still a month off. The set tlers driven from township 150 are com ing back to the city. The Piue Sale. The Bed Lake pine will be scheduled for sale at $3 per 1,000 feet, the mini mum price fixed by law. The govern ment has no information to permit a grading of several prices. It was con cluded it would be better to put it all in at the minimum and trust to compe tition to raise this figure to the value of individual tracts. The only thing that might detcat this would be a combina tion between the large bidders, and it is understood that there will be enough smalt bidders to defeat any such plan. It is understood that there will be many persons who will buy a 40 or 80 tract with the intention of putting in portable saw mills and sawing for the immediate local demand on the reservation. The first sale is largely experimental, and if it does not go off satisfactorily, future sales will be conducted on a dif ferent basis. There are 3,001 descrip tions, 40's or lojts, containing from 10,000 to 700,000 feet of pine, and aver aging about 50,000, so that the total of pine is not far from 150,000,000 feet. Stands by Anoka. Judges Brill, Otis and Kelly, of the Ramsey county district court, handed down a decision in the matter of the location of the fourth hospital for the insane by the commission appointed for the purpose, dissolving the temporary injunction granted at the request of Hastings petitioners and refusing longer to restrain the commission from purchasing a site at Anoka. In this the claim of the Hastings petitioners is overruled. While joining witfy the other mem bers of tfie bench in signing the order, Judge Kelly, in a memorandum, dis sents from the views of his colleagues, as to the propriety of the action of the commission in reconsidering their vote, proclaiming that in so doing the com mission was "guilty of a "blunder amounting almost to a crime." Logs and Lumber. A meeting of lumbermen of the upper Mississippi valley was held in the sur veyor general's office recently. Figures were given which showed the season's cut in the woods to have been 585,000,- 000 feet, or about 150,000,000 feet less than the cut last winter. The old log committee, consisting of H: C. Akeley, H. M. De Laittre and W. H. Day, was unanimously re-elected. The boom company was ordered to begin the turn ing of logs as soon as practicable, and not turn more than 75 per cent of the amount turned last year. Minnesota Talent Abroad. J. Murphy, who left Winoua some time ago, taking with him about £300 belonging to the Borton institute, was arrested in Chicago, the other night, while attempting to rob a safe in the residence of Mrs. Catherine Johannes. This safe, it is said, contained valuables to the amount of 8120,000. Murphy, at the time of his arrest, was in company with another man, and both,were ar rested. It is not thought that the case will be pushed, as he will no doubt get the fulL penalty of the law in Chicago. Killed by Cars. A young man, some 20 years of age, whose name is supposed to be J. Shel don, a member of the Third Infantry band at Fort Snelling, was found lying dead between the railroad tracks on the Milwaukee short line, about 400 feet north of 26tli avenue S, Minneap olis. When found the body had evi dently lain for some hours. It was squarely in the middle of the tracks, and the head was severed from the body, hanging only by the spinal cord. News in llrial Gov. Clough, by proclamation, desig nates April 24 as Arbor Day. James Purcell, living near Water •ville, was struck by an engine while walking on the railroad track. His skull was fractured and probably fa tally injured. Herman Johnson fell down a shaft in the Pioneer mine, at Ely, a distance of 325 feet,«and instantly killed.

New Yorl April 13.—Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth gave out a five-column stalement Sunday night giving officially some of the reasons for having foresworn) allegiance to foreign headquarters. '.Me vital points in the statement are hwHt international head quarters there una come to be a positive hatred of everything American. Ob jections were urged by Gen. Booth against the display of the national Hag upon badges and in halls and homes. He said the time had arrived to cease carrying the stars and stripes at the head of parades. He objected to the use at the eagle upon crests, and con stantly spoke deprecatingly of the country and of its people and its insti tutions. The statement says that the attempt was made to annex the army in the United Sta'es to that of Canada, and that, in spite of the protestations of the writers, they were forced to make a partial annexation, and at-the present time the army work in Dakota, North Montana and North Washington is governed from Toronto, and it is said that the, officers hardly dare to let the citizens of these states know that their money goes to Ca nadian headquarters. "Apart from the above reasons," the statement continues, "the unjust man ifestos and un-Christian assertions made by the leaders of the army and their representatives in this country, particularly their comparison of our movement with 'the Moore scandal,' their statement that we fell beneath 'the art of flattery and temptation,' the unrebuked and excused assertion by one of their trusted staffs that I (Ball ington Booth) am insane, and the most abominable reflections upon the private character of Mrs. Booth, which have proceeded from another staft officer, have been sufficient reason for refusing to entertain any suggestions of return ing the ranks of the old movement. "There will undoubtedly be denials and counter-statements made to the above, but we can only add that we be lieve that our lives before the American public will at least exonerate us from insincerity of motive and unworthijiess Df purpose. We wish the army no evil, and would not have thus written had thej' taken our advice and remained silent." Commissioner Booth-Tucker says lie has no fears on account of the giving up of these records. He hardly credits the intention to publish them, but says the Salvation Army has nothing it is ashamed to make public. "Expediency and such reasons as night argue with the merchant to keep lis business private," said the commis sioner, "make us wish to keep the con fidential letters, and, indeed, all further consideration of this unfortunate schism, out of the public mind. Al ready it threatens to lead, attention away from our. true cause, the rescue of souls, but there has been nothing in the struggle we wish to. hide. Truth can only help the Salvation Army." LEO IS FOR ARBITRATION. Cardinal Rampolla Writes a Letter Com mending Kfforts to Preserve Peace. London, April 10.—The pope, through Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of ptate, has addressed to the Chionicle a ietter in which he commends that jour nal's earnestness in promoting the in stitution of a permaneut tribunal for the purpose of deciding international controversies and safeguarding the peo ple from the perils of war, and expresses 1 he wish that God will hhppily crown its praiseworthy efforts with success. The letter also says that amongst the most precious gifts the Divine Re deemer bestowed upon the world was that of peace, and no Letter desire can exist than that peace should reign upon the earth.

KNOW THYSELF. Science Helps You to Be Tour Own Doctor. The Story of a Woman Who Kept Posted on the Work of Science and Saved Her Own Life. From the Era, Bradford, Pa. Too few people are acquainted with the rapid advance of medical science„and too many aths now themselves, that all physic! abreast of the world's knowledge, much of oar suffering will cota/t to an end. Medic al scientists are not delving into the depths of knowledge for the mere neneflt of brother physicians, but for the benefit of the world. They place in the hands of the well man a means of keeping well, in the hands of the sick a means of. recovery. To the parent they give the power of saving the child. Science is working for 3' ou—willyou accept tbe proffered help? Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady who resides at Mo. 276 East Main Street, has cause to feel grateful toward tbe science of medicine. One day recently, a reporter, learning that Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by the use of a new medicine, interviewed her. She stated that she had been suffering with a female trouble for manyyears. She had been doctored for the ailment for a long time—in fact, nearly all her .'ife—and had never received any thing more than tempo rary relief. During the last three years her condition grew worse and was aggravated by an affection of the heart. Her health was so poor that she found it almost impossible to perform her household duties. "I never believed in proprietary medi cines," said Mrs. Rowend, "but one day last fall 1 read an article in a newspaper which told of the cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to try the medi cine. Before I had taken the contents of one box-I began to feel better. The depress ing weakness which had bothered me for so manyyears began to disappear, and the ac tion of the heart at once became stronger and more regular. "I took nine boxes of the pills and I am now feeling better than I have for several years, and I have unbounded faith in the medicine." Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in health and strength and gives all the credit for her restoration to health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.
