COURT,
The Coming Ierm-laa;lroa0, County,
Usury and Tao Cases.

The indications are that there will he
a heavy calendar at the approaching
March term of Court. There will be H.
bout forty civil cases, with at present a
prospect of several criminal ones.
RAILROAD CASES.
There will be three of these, viz: The
Southern Minnesota Railroad Company
VS.. The Sioux City and st. Paul Com
pany, and the Southern Minnesota
Railway Extension Company vs.. the
Sioux City & St. Paul Company. These
are both cases involving the title to GER
tain lands lying III Mobiles, Jackson,
Murray and Pipestone counties.
Another interesting case is that OF
Mary Collins VS.. the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad Com
pany for negligence resulting in the
death of Cornelius Collins, on the Goth
OF September last, claiming damages
to the amount of $4,000. Mr.. Collins,
it will be remembered, was a section
hand. A party of section men had been
at work between Won thington and Big
Glow and were returning on two hand
cars, when a freight train, running
without head light, ran into the rear
hand car. Mr.. Collins was thrown up-
on the pilot with the hand car on top of
him, and so badly injured that he died
from the effects Of his injuries.
CsUEY CASES.
There are several Of these already
brought, and, we learn, there are sever
al more in contemplation. The list
thus far is as follows: Nm. NJ. Boyer
VS.. Roscoe G. Chase; VIM. Clark VS..
Joshua 1. N1axwell; Joseph Hyland VS..
Roscoe G.. Chase. In each of these
cases the parties have brought an ac-
ton to cancel notes and mortgages on
the ground of usury, the usury consist
ing in taking a commission or bonus
for procuring loan.
The case of James AchesoD VS.. Ros-
&. Chase, rs heretofore stated in the
ADVANCE, was decided by Judge
Dickinson some weeks ago. This was
a case similar to the others above men,
toned. The decision was to the effect
that when an agent requires borrower
to pay for services as agent, it is not
usury, and that when AL agent takes Il
bonus from Il borrower for procuring a
loan, without the priv,ty or knowledge
of the lender, it is not usury. This
case has been appealed.
COUNTY OR TAX CASES.
Z. Clark, J. E. Walling, Mrs. Clip
penger, and several others have brought
or are about to bring actions in which
the parties refuse to pay tax on rail-
| road land and town lots, Oil the ground
that the same are exempt from taxa
ton.
In most of these cases, we learn, the
point is MADE that the tax sale of 1878
is void, on account of the insutficiency
OF notice of sale, the law requiring that
the lirst publication should he at least
fifteen days before the sale, which was
not the case in 1878.
There are also four or FIVE cases from
this county carried up on appeal.

ILLEGAL MAREIA GEES IN THIS c0UN.

ILLEGAL MARLcIA GEES IN THIS COUN.
TY.
EDITOR ADVANCE: There is q mat
ter which has lately come to our notice
that we deem of sufficient Importance
to give to the people Of this county for
the benefit of whom it may concern.
1t is said that in different parts of the
county, and notably in Grand Prairie,
there are marriages being solemnized
by persons who have no authority to do
so in law or otherwise, and that there are
other cases III which no license has been
first obtained. These are serious mat
ters both as regards the offense and the
results to the parties themselves, in
consequence Of the illegality. 1t would
make grounds upon which to hang vex-
atious law suits and in the end might
dispossess parties or work serious det-
rimet to them in more ways than one.
1t is matter proper for the considera-
ton of our next Grand Jury as the law
provides that offenders under the law
shall suffer Il punishment of $500 doll
ars fine, and one years imprisonment,
or either or both, as the court in it's
wisdom may elect. 1t would be we'll
for those about to cast off the habila-
ments of bachelorhood or to jump into
the sea of matrimony, to look we'll be-
fore they leap legally and lawfully, as
we'll as i'll the many other views to be
considered, and it would also be we'll
for those who have been in the habit Of
illegally solemnizing the end of single
blessedness to pause. 1t is further said
there are now the fruits of this illegality
present in this comfy in five or six
different instances.
Ministers file your credentials. Can
didates get yonr license. Ministers
file certificate with Clerk of Court and
lets have these things done up right.

WoRTH1NaToN. "A correspondent
forwards us copy of the ADVANCE
of this place, wherein is contained a
plain-spoken and liberal-spirited edi-
torial, entitled "Another Hereto"
The "heretic'' in question is Rev. DR..
Thomas, Of Chicago, Ill. After re-
ferring to the bravery of this clerical
gentleman and the progressive ten
denotes Of his thought, the ADVANCE
editor says:
"Among all the articles we have
read on the subject Of Dr. Thomas
heresy, we have not seen a word as to
what led him out of error into the
truth. DIR. Thomas for some years
has been investigating the phenom-
ena and the literature of Spiritualism,
and he grew under it as inevitably as
plant grows under sunshine and
rain. Three years ago, when we
were in Chicago investigating among
the best mediums, we heard every
where of DIR. Thomas, and learned of
a number Of tests which he had re-
ceived.
AS showing the liberality Of his
church, as compared with the mar
rowness and prejudice Of churches
generally, we give the following: A
few years ago, while the yellow fever
was raging in Memphis, we hap
pened to be in Chicago, and on Sun
day attended service at Centenary
Church. After the sermon DR..
Thomas said lady of his acquaint-
ance desired to go to Memphis to u.s.
sist in nursing the yellow fever suf-
ferers. He gave the name Of the
lady, who was known in Chicago as
healing medium one Of those
dreadful Spiritualists. The Doctor
asked his church to raise q fund to
send the lady to Memphis. The con-
grcgation responded promptly, the
lady went to Memphis, and q few
weeks after her arrival we saw an an
nouncement in Chicago paper that
she had fallen 4 victi,:l to TIC fever
herself"

ton. A few days ago violont female
patient was allowed to get loose when
she fell upon another female patient
and beat and stamped the poor creature
to death. The usual white washing
account has been sent to tile papers.
The institution, as now managed, is
a disgrace to the State. Within the
past few years, three or four murders
have been committed there and over
thirty patients burned to death.

TIM NORWEGIAN POET

Bjornson, the eminent Norwegian
poet. novelist and political agitator, who
is having an enthusiastic reception from
his countrymen in Chicago and other
cities, is on visit to Minnesota. He
might lie called the Milton Of Norway,
as he is equally distinguished as a po-
litical and poetical writer. Like Mil
ton, too, he is intensely Republican in
his feelings and is liberal in religion
This makes him unpopular with the
clergy, but he seems to be immensely
popular with the people whose cause he
espouses. Burns put the Declaration
of Independence into song before Jeffer-
son formulated it into political docu-
mcnt. Bjornson, it seems, is doing
sonnet hing similar for Norway.

LETTER EROx JUSTICE HOcX.

O~A A1AS* = AbVA - O0AANO ~8VV6s
-. WILLMoNT, January II. 1881.
EDITOR ADVANCE: You will excuse
me for taking the liberty to ask for q
little space in your paper. I hope you
will kindly grant my request Is I am
forced to defend myself. *@ -.
"Hawkeye," of this town has attack
ed me for some time in your paper, and
in the Journal. If it were only pri-
vate matter, wouldn't take the pen
yet, but as he has attacked me on my
official duty, I must and will show the
public, who the public Liar" is.
''Hawkeye" said about a month ago
that at the late election one of the
clerks iii his town made it his business
las usual on such occasions) to run out
doors with handful Of his Demo-
cratic candidates, every time a dog
would bark, thus leaving his poll list
alone lying on the table, till he got
through electioneering," etc.
Now is this true, or is it a lie?
1 can prove that I didn't vote the
Democratic ticket at all. That I
changed my political faith before the
election. Now how can sensible man
expect that would have worked for a
ticket which I didn't intend to vote N.Y.
self. Why didn't he say used money
on said day, too? guess his (Hawk)
eyes didn't notice that paid to a man
in the other room $500. For what
purpose. it amt his business.
I challenge any voter of this town to
say that offered him ticket (of any
kind) or electioneered any, outside the
poll room. Now Hawkeye come out
with your witnesses. We will see who
the public "Liar'' is. There is no fool
ing about this.
He further said, that at the late e.
lection, our town was changing for the
better part, so that we are getting to
. have quite respectable town. True
Mr.. ''11awkeye"! l said so right after
the last town election, where you was
running for the Justice Office, and got
only IL votes, exclusive of your own,
out of22.
Mr.. Editor, am afraid have taken
too much space already, so l have to
come to a close. Only a few lines
more.
Last week "Hawkeye" attacked me
in the Journal about certain Justices
transactions. only refer that great
truth worthy Hawk-eye to sec. LOG. G..
S. and S. l.. 1872, as amended 1873. and
to Justices Practice" page 4s. That
will cover his questions.
But here I must show the public an
other of his lies. He said III the Jour-
nal last week: "That was three weeks
after the trial." I can show, by the
record of my Office, and by witnesses,
that it was just 10 days after the trial.
and not three weeks.
Now who is the Public ''Liar?''
On the whole must. and do very
willingly agree with Thomas Wilson,
of Dewald, in the last Journal, who
thinks there is something wrong with
his (Hawkeye's) spout.
In conclusion, I will only advise
"Hawkeye" to use his pen-hol'ler as a
broom stick, and sweep in the future
before his own door.
