A GREAT MAN GONE.
Death OF Alexander stephens, Governor
OF Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga. March Gov. Stephens
died at half past three o'clock. At 2 O'Clock
| this morning it was evident he was much
| weaker and the crisis was approaching
| The doctors placed a strong mustard
plaster on his wrist, let it remain twenty
minutes, and when it was removed there
was not the slightest sign of inflammation,
showing that there was very little vitality
| left. At half-past two his extremities be-
came cold and clammy and assumed a
purplish hue. AS the end drew near Gov.
Stephens was lying on his back, his head
| turned slightly to the right. The husky
rattle in his throat, that had been plainly
perceptible earlier in the night, had ceased
entirely, there was no more heavy breath
ing and not the slightest gassing. At a
quarter past 8 o'clock the family were
called in, and after breathing almost i'm
perceptibly for few moments he died
without the slightest tremor. The news of
his death created the profoundest sensa-
ton, as he was not known to be so near
deaths door.
To-day the remains lay in state at the
executive mansion, and were viewed by
two thousand people In the afternoon
meeting of citizens was held. Addresses
were delivered by Senator Colquitt, Judge
Crawford. Judge Bleckley and other prom
iucut CItIZ6HS. "A CltIZeuS committee was
appointed to cooperate with committee
from the legislature and state house offie-
ers, TO arrange for the conduct of the fun
eral. The remains will lie in state at the
capitol, commencing tomorrow. until
burial Wednesday or Thursday.
Col. John Stephens, nephew of the Gov
ernor, said, II have never known him TO
speak SO little of death as during his pres
ent illness; or to make so few arrangements
for the worst that might come. In all his
other attacks he has been especially careful
to impress on me the minutest details of
his wishes and intentions. In this illness
he has not said word of any of his de-
sires.'
This confirms the theory of his illness,
that it was exhaustion rather than disease
which caused death. 1t was the mind,
not the body. that gave way. Gov. Ste
phens made a will some time ago. He
leaves $4,000 to the children of his late
brother. Judge Stephens, and the rest of
his estate, barring few minor requests,
to his nephew, Col John Stephens. What
the estate will foot up depends largely on
the sale of his new history of the United
States. He made about $50, 600 ON The
War Between the States" His new book
is selling well. Above the requests his
estate win probably pay $4,000.

The Chronicle says: The death of Gov.
Stephens is calamity to the state. All
denominations and classes, irrespective of
party, are profoundly moved by the death
of the statesman, patriot and philauthro-
pist. Though dead, he will still live as
the most illustrious of Georgians.

The Town Of LaNoure.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD Co.,
Construction Department,
FARGO DIVISION, February lst, 1883.
10 whom it may concern:
The Fargo & Southwestern branch of
the Northern Pacific railroad is located
and mostly graded ready for track 10 the
townslte or LaMoure, on the James river,
in LaMoure county, Dakota.
The said railroad company is a half
owner in the townsite of LaMoure, as To-
Gated on the east bank of the James river.
and have received good and sufficient
deeds to the same from E. p. Wells, and
deed to the right Of way for necessary sta
tion grounds in said town from Nathan
Corwith.
The railroad station, side tracks and all
necessary buildings at the crossing on the
James river will be erected at this town
on the east side, under the arrangement
made with the above persons, and there
will be no location of side tracks or
buildings on the west side of the river,
all representations made to the contrary
b. interested persons being made to mis-
lead persons ignorant of the real situa-
ton.
The railroad being ow virtually COM
pleted to Lisbon, and the grading almost
finished to Lah,ou on the east side of
James river, it is probable, and expected
from orders made by the railroad com.
pany, that the road will be finished and
in operation to LaMoure, the railroad
company's town, located on the east side
Of the James river on section l, in town

The Qualifications Of Voters.

. Inc LulLOT OI Tue J0lneStOWn Alert.
DEAR SIR:-1n response to your request
that should answer certain questions
through the columns Of your paper, rela-
tive to the qualifications of voters at
the coming city election, l will 10 the
best of my ability answer the following
questions, or at least indicate my opinion
thereon, to which all whom it may con-
cern are welcome and may take it for
what they consider 1t worth
lst. What are the qualifications of
electors in the city of Jamestown!
2ud. Are those temporary residents of
the city of Jamestown who have claims
under the homestead and pre-. emption
laws, in this and adjoining counties,
eligible voters at the coming election?
3rd. In case of single man or married
man whose family is temporarily absent,
has room and keeps his effects in one
ward and takes his meals and perhaps
has room in another, in which ward is
he entitled to vote?
HtH. SR@ AAO "Ao HAS CSldDll6ACU q
squatter's right on unsurveyed govern
ment lands, but who resides in the city
and has so resided for so days, vote here!
ANSWER.
lst. Every male person above the age
of twenty.one years, who shall have been
q resident Of the territory of Dakota and
the city of jamestown ninety days next
preceding said election, aud who is a
citizen of the United States or shall have
declared his intention on oath to be so,
and taken the oath TO support the con-
stitutlon OF the United States, shall be
entitled to vote at said election. The
word president" IS construed by courts
to mean permanently domiciled," "per-
manently established in a home,'' ''not
transitory,' hence, though a man may
have been in the city six months. If he
has home some where else and has not
become "domiciled' here, he is not q
legal voter. In the language of the
supreme court Of California residence"
depends upon intention as we'll as fact,
and mere inhabitancy, against the lnten-
ton of acquiring domicile, would not
make PRESIDENT" within the meaning of
the law so as to constitute an eleotor.
2nd. One who has taken . claim under
the homestead or pre- emptIon laws 10
"domiclled'' on his claim, and as one
cannot be domiciled in two places at the
same time, certainly if he voted here.
thereby claiming city domicile, he
would forfeit his claim and could not
prove up his claim without committing
perjury, because, while the law allows q
homestead claimant TO be absent six
months at one time, it does not allow
him to change his domlclle therefrom.
Srd. In answer to the third question,
l would say that such a man might elect
his domlcile as 1t is ''question of inten-
tion as we'll as tact,'' but irrespective Of
intention, his home would be where he
slept and kept his wardrobe.
4th, 4 eiti.en may initiate squatter's
right without establishing permanent
home by simply dong some act that
may be perfected INTO one, hence he
might vote here If otherwise qualified.
Very respectfully yours,
W. E. DlassE.
