A QUESTION OF Law.
IL Chattel Mortgage ON General
Merchandise R1mA1n~v


Merchandise BindineY
Quite commotion was caused in HONE last
Sunday night by the arrival Of several wagon
loads OF goods nom Clifford, taken from the
store Of c. R. Black by Mcmahon l. MacLarep.
attorneys for Allen Moon & Co., of St. Paul. A
history Of the case, as far as We can learn. il
about as follows: Some few months since C,
R. Black moved from Hope to Clifford and
opened general store, purchasing from Plum
mer d Hanson a stock Of goods amounting to
S2,SO0, which they had taken to secure debt
Black giving Plummer & Hanson his notes for
the purchase price. Subsequently Black pur
chased from Allen Moon Il Co. a bill of goods
amounting to about $1,000, on which only a
part vas paid. At this stage one Of the notes
given by Black to Plummer l. Hanson became
due which he was unable to meet, and, It ia
alleged, Plummer l. Hanson demanded that
Black should give them chattel mortgage on
the whole Of his stock Of goods, which he did.
Allen Moon & Co. becoming alarmed for the
balance yet due them, authorized Mcmahon l.
MacLaren to take possession of their goods.
Claiming that as the goods were sold for cash
the title had never vested In Black, and that
consequently the mortgage given to Plummer
d Hanson was void so far as 1t covered goods
sold by them to Black. Upon this the goods were
taken possession of and removed to Hope,
Plummer d Hanson next procured q writ of
replcvin and placed it in the hands Of Sheriff
Walden, who took possession of the goods, but
atterwarl released them OH Allen Moon l. Co.
giving bond.
The case presents question of law Of great
Importance, and one in which the decisions Of
the courts in different States are at variance
viz: does chattel mortgage given Oh stock
Of general merchandise, unless in actual pos
session OF the Mortgagee-that Is, unless some
one 10 present to whom the proceeds Of sales
are to be turned over as rapidly as sales may be
made-hold good. Some of the courts.
notably those of Illinois, California, Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, most Of the South
ern States, and the United States courts, ex-
cept where they are bound by State court de-
cisions, have held such mortgages to he void,
while on the other hand Michigan, Iowa and
Minnesota have held them binding. In Dakota
the question is an open one, and Its decision
will be looked forward to with considerable
interest.

IfnneaDolis Wheat,

Tho Pioneer Press in its weekly review of the
wheat market says: The heavy movement Of
wheat, which has been the principal feature
of weakness in eur market, shows signs of a.
batement. Receipts at Minneapolis last week
were 100000 bushels less than The week before,
and stocks here and at St. Paul increased 15O,-
600 bushels less than the previous week. There
is still large amount Of wheat on track in the
yards here waiting to be unloaded, which, if
emptied now, would increase stocks in eleva-
tors TO more than 10000 bushels. There
were 1,790 cars on track Monday morning, OF
which the Milwaukee road alone had LOO.
Farmers are now through plowing, or have
been stopped by the cold snap of Friday, and
il they intend to deliver soon, an increased
movement from first hands may be expected
during the next ten days. But the various
elevator lines running int Minneapolis and
Duluth now claim to have sufficient storage to
take care Of all the wheat yet to come, and in
ths fact lies the chief factor in determining the
course Of the market. The elevator companies
can hold the wheat whieh they may receive
from this time, or can forward it at will.
President Barnes, Of the Northern Pacific Ele.
vator company says he will hold his in his OWL
houses and earn storage on it instead Of run.

This is the sentiment Of all large elevator com.
panies who can command sufficient capital te

from this time will depend largely upon the
temper Of the elevator companies. Small ship
pers will, Of course, be compelled to rush their
wheat TO Market but accumulations are not
likely to be as great during the next eight
weeks as they have in the past month. Wheat

Fer December is received, SURPRISING IN beauty
even what we had expected. It contains two
costly steel-engravings; mammoth colored
steel fashion plate; superb colored pattern,
such as weuld sell at retail for fifty cents; and
more than half hundred wood-cuts Of en-

circulation Of "Peterson" can explain how all
this can be afforded. The literary Contents
are even better than usual. Mrs. Ann s.
Stephens finishes her powerful noyelet, that
has awakened 80 much interest during the

sesntensely exciting, that 1t might have been
written py the late Hugh Conway himself.
Besides these, there are numerous other first
class tales and other articles, some Of them
charmingly illustrated. This number ends the

promised, though 'Peterson'' seems to u al
ready as nearly perfect as lady's book can be.

Never since the foundation of the town Of
Hope has there been feeling Of suoh unamity
among the people as prevails at present. The
petty jealousies and dissensons which at one
were so rife, have given place to feeling of
contentment and an earnest desire to aid in
every way in advancing the interests of Hope
and her people. That this is due in part to the
improvement in business and the more health
full financial condition, is probably true. But
it also arises flom the fact that many of tho
discordant factors haye been eliminated, and
those who remain have settled down to the
fact that harmony and good feeling are better
promoters of prosperity than nharmony and
discord. That this will do much to enhance
The commercial prosperity Of the town cannot
be doubted. And now is the proper time to
move for objects Of public bpneat. One Of the
mQst important Of these is the building Of a
schOol-hOuse, such a one as would be not only
adequate to the wants Of our community, but
such ono as would be an ornament to Hope
and lasting monument to the enlightened
liberalty OF our people. A fine school-house
in town acts as beacon light to attract the
attention of the traveller seeking for location.
Viewed purely from mercenary point Of
view we believe a good school-house would
prove a paying Investment. It would attract
capital to be invested in our lands and would

Utilizing a Waste Product.


Fergus Falls, Minn., has new industry
which is Of Importance to everv farmer through-
out the Red River Valley. It is a mill where
wheat straw is made into building and various
other coarse grades Of paper. They arc
using about fifteen tons Of straw per day, for
about $50 days In the year, for which is paid
about two dollars per ton. The farmers in the
vicinity are, therefore, receiving about $4,000
year for product which they have been ac-
eustomed to burn as being worse than useless.
The product Of this is Of a character to make
over r-produciien almest impossible. Building
paper we need in unlimited quantities, it is
such cheap and efficient protection from the
cold of our winters, while wrapping and ether
coarse papers are always In demand; there
fore we can see no reason why other localities
should not have such outlets for straw, and
other communities Of farmers be gathering In
the thousands of dollars which have heretofore
