Indiana Capitalists Will Purchase Many Thousand Acres in Minnesota. 3 We learn from the Minneapolis Tribune that another gigantic lasd deal is being negotiated by G. Tk Barnes, of Campbell, Minn., who re- cently disposed of 90,000 acres of Jand in Itasca und Aitkin counties. The Tribune say “G. B. Barnes, of Campbell, Minn. who closed a $270,000 land deal about two weeks ago, is in Minneapolis ne- gotiating for the sale of another im- mense tract of land in the northern part of the state. Representatives of Indiana capitalists will arrive in the city in a few days to close the deal, which involves fully as much money as the former transaction, and it is bélieved a great deal more. The land is to be sold to an Indiana syndicate for improvement purposes, almost identically on the same liues as laid out by the Iowa inves'ors, who pur chased 90,000 acres to be colonized by Towa home seekers. “Phe land to bé sold will involve parts of a number of counties in the northern extremes of the state. They are fur the most part timber sections, some of the timber having been cleared away by lumber cumpanies. Attempts have been made by Indiana capitalists, besides anumber of other eastern financial interests, to secure large tracts of land for colonizing purposes, bnt as the tracts on the market have bee® widely scattered in all parts of the state. it has been almost impossible for them to secure large and undivid- ed sections, The recent large land sales have stimulated much activity, in the Minnesota land market. All land agents and individual owners believe the season will see’ thousands of new settlers take up their homes in the state, there being already many families enroute for different points where land bas been sold.” ‘ A Coming Event. ea On Friday evening, April 12th, Miss Iva Clare Mitchell will give an entertainment in the village hall.-un- der the auspices of the Ladies’ Guild.

This week {t was reported that Hulett Merritt who is at the head of | Itasca Mercantile Co. had been ex- tensively fortunate in his iron stock and had sold 10,000 share of Luke Superior consolidated iron stock.

To remove this wet the glass with diluted hydrochloric acid, and after a few minutes go over the glass with powdered whiting. Pour the acid slowly into the cold water, using four ounces of the acid to twelve ounces of water (one ‘pint and ahalf.) Polish with chamois or soft paper. It must be remembered acid allowed to touch them, nor should the bottle be left open an instant longer than necessary, as the fumes are very destructive—March Ladics’ Home Journal.
