NEWS NOTES.

Is a homestead in Minnesota, after being
proved up upon and previous to a patent
being issued for such, liable to be. assessed
for taxes? This same question came up in
1877 and was submitted to Hon. George G,
Wilson, then attorney general of the state,
VINO gave his opinion based upon a decision
OF the United States supreme court, sixteenth
wallace, COB. to the effect that as soon as
hnal proof was made the land became sub
]ect to taxation and must be placed upon
the assessment rolls. In this opinion At
torney General Hahn comedies, as the title

ties who were evidently intent on robbery.
Several persons have since been arrested on
suspicion, among them w. A. Kline of
Corning. He ives released on a writ of
habeas corpus. Saturday he was rearrested.
1t appears the grand jury has been investi-
eating the murder afresb, and an indict-
Hlent is the result. kline's business associ-
ates have q great deal of confidence in his
innocence.

Michael Curran, a laborer, was run over

The Pcrils of Army Pickering

Washington Special: 1t is almost GER
ain that the exposure OF Col. A. 2. Nor
row Will result in further exposures, which
will bring a much needed publication to
army circles in Washington. To state the
whole case in a word, Col. Morrow is the
latest victim of the army poker club here.
1t includes among its active players two, if
not three, officers of the highest rank, and
each handling and disbursins large sums o
public money. With these there are a doz
ell military men who are known in army
circles as active poker players. Col. Nor
row is not by any means the first
victim. Members OF the club are be-
lieved 10 have used their knowledge of
their superior's shortcomings to attempt
the control of their actions in important
matters Of public duty, mainly in cases
where punishment for o~tfenses should have
been inflicted by those sllperiors in The dis
charge of their duty. 1t is expected that
Col. Morrow's case, which officials of high
rank supposed had been buried beyond dis
covery, will bring out the more prominent
features of the situation. This seems iney-
liable, because the official efforts to cover
the matter up have apparently very serious

persons. The duplication of this OIL
ticer's pay accounts became known
only last month. The paymas-
ter general promptly issued an order to re-
fuse all pay accounts Of this officer. But at
this point proceedings against Col. Morrow
halted. 1t is understood that as one means
OF concealing the affair the duplicate paw
accounts have been withdrawn and that.

set of pay accounts. reaching many mouths

The crop reports received from the various
tations along the several railroads leading
out of St. Paul are very encouraging, ex-
cept as regards corn. For the latter the
weather has been too wet and cold, and the
majority. of corn already planted is said TO be
rotting in the ground. In many places,
however, farmers have not as yet commenced
planting and are holding off until the
weather settles and the ground dries off.
Wheat and small grain, however, is doing
timely, and is already above ground and
looking nicely.

Kcepins Ont Mormon p,un.rs

Aletter has been sent from the treasury
department to Collector Robertson of New
York, with the object of preventing the
landing of a cargo of Mormon Immigrants,
it possible. The consul at Basic, Switzer-
land, seemed to think that their landing
could be prohibited, because they were
Mormons bound for Utah. They can be
forbidden to land on the ground that they
are paupers, but even then it is doubtful if
it can be enforced. This letter to Collector
Robertson is intended to be made Il test.
He is directed to endeavor TO prevent their
landing, and lett to his own devices as to
the means to be employed. If he should
refuse the vessel a clearance, he could only
tine her $500 every time she left without ii,
and she would no DOUBT pay that il, prefer
ence to taking back the paupers. The out
come of the matter will be of interest.
