COURT week in a country
town is generally lively one, and
in Alexandria it generally goes the
same way. Monday was the first
day of the regular October term.
Country people in groups, most of
whom were jurors, deputy sheriffs
and lawyers in profusion, newspa-
per scribblers and reporters, and
hangers on, all were there. The
scene as the judge took his seat
was all animation. Every eye was
in the same direction, every ear
was listening to its "utmost capaci-
ty." Our Court room is a nice one
the Sheriff had the floor nicely
spread with saw dust. not a tread
conld be heard, and silence reign
ed supreme. Such was the way
the DEMOCRAT reporter looked at
things on Monday when he was
present in person. The lawyers of
our Town are a handsome set of
men, wear nice clothes and weigh
we'll their words before uttering
them. If one is not favorably i'm
pressed with the dignity of the
Judge, and the general manner in
which everything is conducted,
why then he is an individual who
has not travelled, and may not have
had allotted him most of the adj
vantages which befall the male
sex-Selah.

THE starry heavens present a
rare attraction this month. The
splendid planet Saturn, with its
vast rings spread open to their wi
dest extent, will be in perihelion
this week, and as the earth is near
ly between it and the sun, the op-
portunity thus afforded for studying
the ringed world is such as occurs
only once in abour thirty years. 1t
is a sight calculated to open ones
eyes to the possibilities of creation
to see this huge globe of Saturn
hung in space, surrounded by a Sc
ries of gigantic rings, one inside
the other, and all as solid in ap-
pearanee as the great planet itself.

not be conclusive, and may be rebntted
by evidence that such land warrant was
improperly granted.
ln the case of widow of soldier of
the war of 1912, whose husband during
his life time was granted both land
warrant and a pension, Commissioner
Black thus decided:
1t would be a great hardship to re-
quest, after the lapse of so many years,
new evidence to reestablish the fact,
character and period of service which
had previously been determined by COM
petent authority, the prima facie case
provided for the statute having been
supplemented and strengthened, and
hence the widows claim for pension
should be allowed, and no attempt made
to rebut the evidence upon which her
husbands claim for bounty land and
pension had been granted. In other
cases, however, in which no pension had
been allowed the soldier, and where
only the prlma facie cases made by the
law exists, the matter of pension never
having been adjudicated, the commits
sioner held that these were cases of first
impression, so far as claims for pension
are concerned, and as it appears that the
husbands of the claimants were not in
the service for fourteen days during the
war of 1872, and the preponderence of
evidence being that they were not in any
engagement in that war, the prima facie
case created by the statute is overcome,
and the applications for pensions in
these cases will be rejected.

At stated intervals MIR. Ordway as
sumes the role of Washington cores
ponaent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press
and on these occasions the public is
given dose of alleged Dakota 1nforma-

this:
Dakota affairs are assuming new
phase. Two weeks ago when the terri
torlal democrats met they appointed a.
Boynton, OF south Dakota, as the repre-
sentative of the committee to come to
Washington and make an effort to rid
the party of the soandalous Office brok-
erage that is beng carried on by M. II.
Day, the member of the national COM
mittee. The men who have been bled
by Day do not complain publicly, but
enough is known to settle the fact that
he ia laying heavy taxes on applicants
even for small and unimportant places.
Days operations have been brought to
the presidents attention, and this was
one of the reasons for the recent order
prohibiting office seekers from coming
to the white house. Day has been a
Inveterate visitor, and the president
long ago become very much annoyed
by him. Mr.. Boynton has paid his re-
spect to the president and most of the
cabinet, and made his mission known,
He has been we'll received, aud will be

modest country merchant, and has
made good impression with the ad.
ministration.
The idea that the president has closed
the white house to all Office
seekers because of Mr.. Days pres.
ence in Washington is au Ordwayisn,
pure and simple. No Correspondent

representation of things not the truth
would ever have invented such theory
Boynton, as one of the pets OF the Ord
way family, has gone to Washington
with the credentials of the Inmanites o
the capital coterie and must be doomed
else his greatness will never dawn up
on public comprehension. Hence tn
