The organic act creating the territory
OF Dakota provides that the supreme
court shall assemble 'at the seat OF gov
ernment." After this Bismarck will be
the place.-Fdryo Argus.
The organic act says there shall be
one term each year at the seat of gov
ernment, but does not fix the time for
such session. An unrepealed section OF
the laws of Dakota says there shall be
two terms of the supreme court each
year at Yankton, and ixes the dates
thereof. So the supreme court will con-
vene semi-annnallv at Yankton.

In pursuance of Hon. Hugh j. Camp.
bells ideas and arguments of the "inhe.
rent sovereign right" of the people to or.
game a state government the Press and
Dakotaian advocates proceeding at once
to organize state of southern Dakota.
The Alert suggested yesterday morning
that if MIR. Campbe!l's theory was cor.
rect there was nothing to prevent part
of the territory from organizing state
and excluding the other part and now
the Press and Dakotaian contains prop.
osition to do that very thing. Following
out this idea 1t would be difficult to de.
termine where the subdivisions would
end. If southern Dakota has the right
to organize itselfinto state government
and exclude the remainder of the tern.
tory what Is to prevent Stutsman county
from doing the same thing? The absurd
lty OF such proposition would seem tC
be apparent to any one, aud we can hard
ly believe that Mr. Campbell means what
his language seems clearly to convey
Jdmesto'cn Alert.
Mr.. Campbell means exactly what his
language clearly conveys-that the peo.
pie of the southern half of Dakota have
the right to organize that portion of the
territory into state. This is clearly
established in the cases of Michigan an6
of Tennessee, which were cut off by vote
of the people from tie organizations te
which they belonged and made into
states. They were sustained upon th.
broad principle that it is the inheren
right Of the people to govern themselve
when they have complied with certain
conditions. These conditions Stutsma,
county can never comply with. becaus.
it can never possess the requisite popula
tion aud TIE resources for the mainte
nance Of state organization. There ar,
certain reasonable limits beyond whicl
this principle cannot be applied, but vi
to those limits it can be (and has been
iapplied.

A number of neighboring towns have
arranged for appropriate exercises on the

1ankton has duty to perform in this
direction. Two or three thousand people

that an organization should be effected
for the purpose and the young men OF
the city are expected to make the first
move. A public meeting would be in

Tom Thumb Dead.

General Tom Thumb Charles s.
StrattOn) died at his home at Middle
boro, Mass, Sunday morning, of apo
plexy. He was ailing for several days,
but no serious result was expected. The
General was the Oldest aud best known
curiosity in America. He was born in
bridgeport, Conn, in January, 1882,
aud when ten years old vas engaged by
Z. Il. Brnum, who dubbed him Gen
eral Tom Thumb" and introduced him
to the public. In 1914 Barnum took
the general to Europe, where he spent
more than e year, and on returning
TO America General Thumb made q
tour OF the principal cities and became
quite famous. Barnum engaged COM
pany Of dwarfs, and among the number
were General Tom Thumb, Commodore
Mutt and the Warren sisters, Minnie
and Lavinis. The General became in
fatuated with the Warren sisters. He
was, however, unable to decide which
he should marry, and his delay enraged
tie Commodore, who also had his eyes
fixed on the fascinating little women.
When Mutt asked Stratton for al ex-
piauation of his delay the General
slapped the Commodore's face. This
indignation so madGened the latter that
he procured a revolver and vowed that
he would kill his insulter. This affair
came very near breaking up the com
biuation, but Barnum finally pacifed
che principals, and on February 10,
1868, the General married Miss Lsvinia.
An immense crowd witnessed the mar
riage ceremony, and at the museum the
newly-married couple were greater
attractions than ever. Some months
late, Commodore Mutt married Minnie
Warren.
Tom Thumb and his wife made
tour OF Europe in 1865, and the intense
patriotism of the American mite was
the subject of much comment. He Wis.,
tied England several times after that
and made a great deal OF money. He
LETT Mr.. Barnum several years ago and
managed himself and wife in their
travels about the country. He and
Mutt were always jealous Of each other.
AS he advanced in years the General
became very fleshy, and it annoyed him
greatly. In his early lite bis habits
were regular and temperate, but after
his infant daughter died be drank
great deal. 1t is estimated that his
estate is worth about $4,000. He
owned the fine house he died in and
valuable farm near Bridgeport.

A case known as the mock marriage
trial was concluded on Friday in Richie
county. w. Va. Miss Mary Hanover,
a beautiful girl of twenty years, the
daughter OF a respectable farmer, who
lives near Richie Court house, was the
victim. About year ago two brothers
named Clayton endeavored to accom-
plished her ruin, but failed. They then
concooted scheme by which to attain
their purpose. The younger brother
Was successful in winning the affections
of Miss Hanover, and prevailed upon
her to consent to private marriage.
One night the couple started for a car
riage drive. At certain point they
met the elder Clayton disguised as 9
minister The marriage ceremony was
performed, and the young couple started
TO settle down iu the mountains. -Four
weeks afterward the young lady was in
formed that she had been deceived, aud
she returned home and told her story.
Violent threats were made against the
perpetrators of the outrage, and it was
feared for time that the Clsytons
would be lynohed. The trial. which
lasted several days, was attended by
vast crowds from the surrounding coun-
try. The two Ciaytons were found
guilty. The younger one was sentenced
TO three years in the penitentiary at

VALUE OF CoAI AsuEs.-Csal ashes are

gentleman having experimental with
tb.n, on q limited scale, says:
al am inclined to different view, not
that | consider them OF sufficient value to
be at much expense in procuring them for
general use, but for specific uses 1 am In
clined to believe they are worth from 81
10 SO per ton, or will be Of that benefit
when applied. They are undoubtedly less
valuable than wood ashes. 1 have found
them very useful as q mulch (having con-
siderable fsrtilizing effect where thus ap-
plied) for currant bushes, gooseberries,
fruit and other trees and shrubs. After
their application l find that currant bushes
IRE nesrly free from the currant worm,
and that the bushes remain longer In sea-
son Of bearing; the longer retain the foil
age fresh and green, and the fruit Is In
every way superior 10 bushes on which no
application is made. The currants may not
mature quite Ms early, but there is very
little difference. The lateness L account
Tor by the fact that the ashes retain the
frost longer, holding the plants In check
from starting till the approach OF settled
spring weather, which is an advantage,
as late frosts do them no damage.
Spread around peach trees, the elects
are similar. The ashes should be applied
in the fall ut the rate of three or four BUSH
OILS to u peach tree four or five inches In
diameter, and to other trees and bushes In
propOrtion-deepes about the trunk and
slopiug sway two or three feet. In the
spring, after the trees have come Into bios
som, spread the ashes over the whole sur
face as wide Cor widor) rs the branches
cover. The ashes tend to repel insects
from committing depredstions."
