BISMARCK WINS.
The Supreme Court of Dakota Affirms
the Validity Of the Capitol

Commission.
YANKToN, Oak, Sept 20.-Folowing is a
synopsis of the majority opinion Of the SUI
preme court of Dakota in the case of the ter
ritory against the capital commissioners, in
volving the location of the seat of govern
ment. The opinion is written by Justice
Church, of the Deadwood district, and covers
sixty-three pages of closely written legal cap.
Justice Church is sustained in ruling by
Justices Hudson and Palmer, Justice Edger-
ton dissenting.
This was an action in the nature of pro-
ceeding quo warranto brought to prevent
the defendants from exercising certain
duties as commissioners for selecting a
site for the permanent seat of government
and erecting the capitol building of the
territory OF Dakota under appointment OF
an act of the legislature of the territory, ap-
proved March s, 1888. All questions in
volved are discussed by Justice Church.
and authorities cited in defense thereof.
''Our conclusion is that the provisions of
this act for the selection by commissioners
of suitable location for the seat of govern
ment and for the erection thereon of the
necessary buildings and Improvements are
lawful and proper exercise of legislative au-
thority, and that the act in question is in
these respects valid and operative.
''The remaining question is as to whether
the designation of the commissioners by
name in the act itself was lawful. y x X
The duties of these commissioners are Of
the most temporary character. Their func-
tons wholly cease with the completion of
these duties, and we do not think they can
be regarded as officers within the meaning of
the section of the organic act referred to.
In conclusion Justice Church says: 1.-THE
importance which has been given to this
case by the acrimonious contest over the re-
moval and relocation of the capital and the
general interest with which the decision of
this court was awaited, have suggested the
belief that such presentation of the legal
principles upon which our Judgment is based
as would render them measurably clear to
the popular comprehension, would perhaps
be anticipated, and indeed it were well if our
citizens generally were better acquainted
with the resources and extent Of their politi-
cal powers. These considerations have led
to somewhat more extended exposition
of our views and to q fuller QUOTA
ton from the precedents cited than we should
otherwise have deemed necessary since we
regard the questions presented, when viewed
in their true aspects, as free from any consid-
cradle legal difficulties, and have no hesitation
in declaring that in our opinion the appellants
are lawfully entitled to exercise the duties of
their appointment under the act in question.
The judgment of the district court must
therefore be reversed and judgment given by
that court for appellants upon the pleadings

many persons of superior rank and influence
have joined the London society, and have
adopted plain. unpreteutious funeral arrange

for being. Modern funeral customs often
SAVIOR more of extravagant and Hstentatious
display than of any sincere respect for the
dead. Their observance, according to pre-
vailing custom, is often a burden and a
source of embarrassment to the living. The
palmer and simpler the rites for the the
dead the more they will be in keeping with

statement showed an increase in deposits
of 50, $4,000 and decrease on reserve of
$780, 900. Business to-day centered in half
a dozen stocks, while in three times that
number there was not enough doing to afford
quotation. The feeling was still unsettled,
as was evidenced by the shrinking away
which occurred at the finish. 1t appeared
difficult to instill life into any of them, and
the rallies which took place at times did not
hold. Delaware & Lackawanna and Union
Pacific are still largely oversold and command

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept 2O.-wheat closes
heavy at about 1c decline from yesterday.
The situstion is not strong in any way.
Cables report easier markets abroad, and our
exports from the four principal Atlantic
ports for the week aggregate less than a mil
lion bushels Of wheat. Deliveries have con-
tinued liberal, notwithstand low prices, and
it now looks as though further decline
would follow. Corn is apparently eornered
for September, and is dangerous to trade in
for October and November. We quote clos
ing wheat: October 75c, November 77c.
Advices from Dakota are 70 the effect that
farmers cannot get more than 53e for their
wheat. Daily bulletins of the Duluth mar
kets viii soon be received here, the wheat
movement at that place having assumed
such large proportions.

There is very little style about chess. 1t gives
man no opportunity to balance himself on one
leg, lean half over green table and jab real
ivory ball with cue held across the small Of his
back. There s no running the first base or going
over three fences TO find ball il chess and there
are no bulls eyes to hit. These are disadvant-
ages in way. Then, a mean, little, six-by nine
man, with bulging forehead and watery eye,
and spectacles, can whip man twice his size,
