Higher Wheat Frices.


New York, Oct. 2l-It is thought by
some Of the leading commission houses
in this city that higher prices for wheat
may be looked for in the immediate fu-
ture, and they are advising purchases
of the December option. A promiaent
broker with extensive western, con-
nections said to-day that he knew of
heavy purchases for export during the
coming month. He looked to-. see a
heavier export movement than ever be-
fore during November. One important
reason for speculative advance, in the
December option will be found in the
impression that France was liable to
lay IN import duty upon wheat.

The Clerk of Court Case.

1t will be remembe+ed that the last
legislature enacted a law making the
Office of clerk Of the district court cleo
tive, said act to take effect this fall, ex-
cept in Moody and Brookings counties,
Where clerks were elected last fall. Be
fore this Office was filled by appoint
ment of the presiding Judge.
Some months ago doubts arose in the
minds of many leading men as to the
constitutionality of this law and in or
der to test it, at the last term Of court
in this county, Judge Palmer appointed
Peter G Murphy to the position In place
Of H. S. Murphy who was elected last
fall and at the time mentioned was in
possession of the office.
Peter G. Murphy thefeupon- COM
menced action to gain possession of the
Office on the ground that H. S. Murphys
election was invalid, the legislature not
having authority to pass such a law as
was in conflict within the United
States statutes. The case was tried be-
fore Judge Smith in spink county, Dis
trict Attorney G. A. Matthews and j.
OBJ. Scobey appearing for the plaintiff
and j. O. Andrews for the defendant.
Judge Smith decided that the law was
constitutional, wheretipon the plaintiff
appealed the case to tie supreme court
Of the territory.
It was given a hearing before the Oc-
tober term of said court Just adjourned
at Yankton, and after due considera-
tion the superi or court reversed the de-
cision of the lower court, THUS deposing
Hugh 8. Murphy and making Peter G.
Murphy, the appointed clerF, the right
full posaessor of the Office.
The effect Of this DECISION is that so
long as Dakota remains territory the
clerk of the district court will be ap-
pointed by the presiding judge, the
Legislature not having power to enact a
lazy different Press.

GENTLEMEN: Your special attention
Is called to the case Of, Marquardt vs..
Olson c. d. o. Oct, Is, 1884, page 213
In the above case, Secretary Teller says!
"Marquardt did not appear at the time
assigned for Olson's proof, although no.
tace thereof was duly published and the
same was allowed without objections.
But four days thereafter he filed an af-
fidavit alleging fraudin the proof, and
asked for hearing thereon which you
ordered. Noticebf final proof is pub
lished that all parties in interest may
be advised of the proceedings and when
one neglects this opportunity for objec-
stidhs, it unreasonable I'd presume that
h6has noAe. Marquardt's affidavit al
leges Olson 'sndn-co ompliance with the
gessA. i'll respect to residence and i'm
provenient. These were the very ques-
tions in the final proof and which Olson
was required to substantiate. His
whole claim as well as the rights of
Marquardt rested thereon; and it was
in my judgment in my practice to al
low Marqaardt, after having avoided a
regular hearing to institute another
four days subsequently to again try the
same issues. Such practice prolongs
litigation and increases expenses with
out corresponding benefits and should
not be sanctioned Unless i'll special cas-
es and for special reasons.''
In this connection your attention is
called to the case of Tremain vs. Hauge,
X. G. L. o. 345. In this case commits
sioner McFa arland says that "tt was
competent therefore I'd make his objec-
tions either BIZ cross-examining Hauge
and her witnesses Or by Introducing
counter proof or BOTH"
Under the first named case when
proof is to be made before a commits
sioner or at this office on the day named
for maxim g said proof parties must ap-
pear, file their objections and submit
their testimony in support Of the same,
and parties who fail to do this waive
their rights TO contest a claim conflict
ing with his own.
Under the case of Tremain VS.. Hauge
the proper procedure as to testimony
and examination of witness is fully set
forth by the Honorable Commissioner.
