RAINING TIE PRICE.

hlS1Nt TIE xHlCE.
The Jackson Republic intimatcs that
the st. Paul 4 Sioux City Railroad
Company have raised the price of their
lands in that county some two dollars
IN acre. This, we suppose, brings them
up to about the schedule price Of their
lands in this county. Tho railroad
lands in this county have been held at
prices about % to so per cent. above
the actual selling price of partly inn
proved government lands. However,
last year the Company gave nearly that
l~r cent. off for cash so that it brought
their lands nearly to the market value
Of llonesteatlS.
Tho policy OF the Company is certain
ly in marked contrast of the liberal pol
icy OF the Southern Minnesota Com
pany, which sells 1T low rates, requires
10 down payment and allows a rebate
Oh all the acres broken.
Here is something to the point from
the Pioneer Press:
n few days ago the Pioneer Press gave
the details Of plan matured by the
Minnesota Southern Railroad Exten-
sion company for the rapid settlement
Ut the land ennuring to that company
In Martin and Jackson counties. All
other Immigrant companies are dis
tanccd by this extension company in
the matter Ut liberal Inducements to
settlers to occupy the country tributary
to its line of road, and now the exam.
llu is followed by other parties who
control large sections of land in tho
southwestern corner of the state. Mr..
W. Il .)essnp and Others OWL i body of
9n,tAW acres in Martin, Jackson, Muir
ray and Rock counties, and they have
been induced to dispose of them on the
same terms as are offered by tho State
in the sale Of State school lands-l5 per
cent. Of the appraised value to lie paid
down, and the balance ut the convent
ence VI the purchaser, ut any time with
in fifteen years, ut per cent. interest.
1t is the general impression Of Mr.. j.
l.. E;.stOn, of 1.anesborO, from whom
the foregoing facts were obtained, that
this scheme is likely to bring to Mime
sofa IN immense immigration during
the present year, ut the close Of which
the Southern Minnesota will be COM
plrtctl to the west line of the State.
Other railroad companies will no doubt
find it to their advantage to follow this
example, the wisdom Of which is al
ready apparent.

Olson Sather was found on tire prairie
northeast of Jackson. Bruises were
found about the temple, forehead, nose

the mystery.

THE VETO.

As We hoped and anticipated the
President has vetoed the bill restricting
Chinese immigration. The bill WAS a
TASTY partizan measure, modifying An
existing treaty, and usurping a prerog-
alive Of the executive department. 1t
Is on this ground mainly, If we under
stand the Presidents veto message,
that lie refuses his assent to the bill.
Congress has the power to abrogate q
treaty. but the making of new treaty
or the modifying Of an existing one,
rests with the executive, by and with
the advice AMI consent of two-thirls of
the senate.

SIOUX CITY & ST Pal III RAILROAD
LANDS DECLARED NOT TAXABLE.
In the case Of the Sioux City & St. p.
Il. Il. Go against Osceola county, the
Supreme Court has rendered Il decision
declaring that the lands of that Com
pany were not taxable until certified by
the Governor. We find the following
digest Of the decision in the Western
Jurlst for February: "Where lands were
held in trust by tie State to be certified
to the railroad company by the Gov
ernor, and Until this was done the title
remained in the State the same rs it
did in March 18th, 1873, and the rail-
road company did not possess any taxa
BILE interest in the land until the same
were certified to them by the Governor,
the collection Of taxes for 1875 was cor
rectly enjoi.,ed by the railroad company.
The railroad company repeatedly urged
t mt the lands should he certified to
them. but it WAS hot done and there is
no evidence showing that they desired
them to remain in the hands of the
State to escape taxation. This dec,s-
ion applies with the same force to tie
company's lands III this county, and
bars the collection Of taxes for the year
1877 and previous years.-Spirit Lake

Hew n Home was Wrecked.

A recent case in the divorce court IN
Cincinnati presents sriking example
of the power for evil vicious woman
can exercise over an infatuated man.
Some years ago John D. Ruff, a rising
Young man OF that city, was the FORUM
ate possessor ola happy home, loving
wife and two pretty children. He stood
high In society, and all was bright and
prosperous in his future prospects. To-
day his home is broken up, and with
character and reputation ruined, he is a
social outcast and wanderer. The wo'
man to whom he owes his ruin is Lou
Whitlock. the discarded wife of pho
toprapher. She had neither beauty,
culture nor engaging manners, but des'
nite all this, Mr.. Ruff fell victim to
her wiles, notwithstanding that his own
wife was a handsome, refined, amlable
lady, and good wife aud mother to his
children. Their intrigues, carried on
secretly at first, were at last discovered
aud abandoning his happy home, his
loving wife and charming children, the
infatuated man gave up his business
and with his mistress visited New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and other Eastern
cities, where he squandered his wealth
in satisfying her luxurious wants. The
injured wife sought and obtained a d.
yorce on the GROUND Of her husbands
adultery. A couple ofyears passed. and
the guilty husband separated from his
yile companion, returned to his wife and
protesting repentance and reformation,
obtained forgiveness, aud the parted
pair we're remarked. Together they
lived short year in seeming happiness, ,
when, sad 10 relate, the husband again
fell into the tolls of his former enslav'r.
He met her at place Of amusement,
and forgetting all his former protesta-
tons, he again abandoned all to the in
diligence of an Illicit love. To the plead
ing and remonstrances Of his faithful
and injured wife he replied with oaths
and blows, aud flying from him with her
children, she sought refuge in the home
of her childhood. Ruff and his mistress
fed 10 Canada, and for the second time
the divorce court has granted the unfor-
tunate wife final separation from her
miserable husband.
