MUCH AT STAKE.
The people of Minnesota will
watch with much interest the at
tempt of the state to make good
its title to the valuable swamp
lands of Northern Minnesota.
Although less than fifty acres
is involved in the claim of the
state\ which will be argued at
Washington within two weeks it
is estimated that a decision favor
able to the state will mean an ad
dition of $1,000,000 to the state's
strong box in one royalties alone.
The state apparently has a
very good claim to these lands.
The United States surveyor
general has given it as his official
opinion that the state's claim is a
just one. From this decision
Wisconsin parties have appealed,
and upon the appeal arguments
yriU. be heard at Washington
Hov, 13.
Minnesota is richly endowed
with valuable lands, but in one
-way and another it has lost much
thai should rightfully belong to
it today. The present swamp
land contest is but one of several
and should the state win out in
this, it stands an excellent chance
of winning out in all.
ALTHOUGH Bob Dunn never
ties himself down with promises
ib is pretty safe to gamble that
Tsrhen he gets to be governor Sam
Johnson's career as public ex
aminer will come to a sudden and
a timely end. No man in the
state more richly deserves to be
put out of the way politically
than Johnson. No honest official
in the state is safe from out
rageous slander so long as John
son has the power to hail him be
fore a grand jury. No more
mischievous man than Johnson
ever held an office of trust in
Minnescta.
ly is safe to say without in
vestigation that the story that
secretary of the state Peter
Hanson has been advocating Bob
Dunn for governor is a canard.
V^hatever may be the secre
tary's personal preferences he
is too sensible a man toembarass
the administration of which he is
a part by any such action. The
St. Paul Globe should aspire to a
higher plane of .political attack.
..WHATcauses Roosevelt's ene
naies a great deal of deep think
ing these days is whether they
can be so successful in pre
venting his nomination next year
as they were, in securing it three
years ago.
HE St. Paul Dispatch has dis
covered 15 newspapers that are
opposed to Bob Dunn. There
are some fifteen hundred news
papers all told in the state.
I SEEMS that the state game
commission overlooked the fact
that Minnesota has a supreme
court. It knows it now however.
Now you may pay your bets.

everybody reads it.

Broadhurst's hilarious suffi
ciency, "What Happened to
Jones," will be the attraction at
the City Opera House tonight, in
which are presented MillardReid

cleverest people who have ever
been seen in this city. "Brown's

comedies of the stripe have had
MILLARD REID and MURENA DELMAR,
With What Happened to Jones."
large runs, but as a business
getter "What Happened toJones"
is clearly in the supremacy. The
costuming of the piece is a mag
nificent effort. It is dazzlingly
rich and is always a subject of
comment. Aside from its funny
features it has merit as a well
written bit. The seat sale at
Barker's will be clc sad at seven
o'clock.
DON CAESAR DE BAZAN.
Tells the story of the beautiful
gypsy girl, Maritana, who is
sought by the king of Spain, and
the ragged cavalier, Don Caesar,
who is married to her fifteen
minutes before he is to be exe
cuted. In fact, the whole play is
full of dramatic interest and
startling situations, and combin
ing as it does a great deal of
sparkling comedy, makes one of
the most fascinating plays ever
presented by Mr. Sanford Dodge,
who wiil, with an excellent com
pany, produce this great drama
at the City Opera House Tuesday
evening, Nov. 3. Seats will be
on sale at usual place.

Lake Bemidji's Gruesome Record.
The gruesome record of Lake
Bemidji is recalled by the recent
supposed drowning of Glenn
Adams and Charles Gregory.
During the past twoyearsnoless
than twenty people have met
death by drowning in the lake.
There are two or three cases of
double drownings, a case of triple
drowning and on the 17th of
May, 1902, five people lost their
lives. Several swimmers have
been drowned in the lake who
were considered among the best
jand there seems to be a hoodoo
connected with the beautiful
sheet of water somewhere. Lum
bermen, the Indians and oldresi
dedts of this vicinity say that
there is a strong undercurrent
in certain sections of the lake,
which may be responsible for the
fact that people who get into the
water rarely get out of it.
