This is true but it does not initiate
against what seems to me to be the wise
and equitable rule in the other case.
The stakeholder takes his share of the
assets in the end in accordance with the
contract. That was the agreement when
ever made, whether ten, or fifty, or
hundred years before. In stock CON-
pany, the stock is issued for the whole
period of the company's existence. In
mutual, the policy (the stock is issued
for a limited period-a certain number
of years only. Either may be assigned,
but one for the existence of the company
and the other for the life OF the policy.
In the one certain number of shares
represent the worth of the company and
its business in the other a certain num-
Der OF policies /; the former generally re-
main the same in number, though they
may increase or diminish in value while
the latter fiuctuates, the number of
policies being liable to be much greater
at some times than OF others.
And it is claimed that because the
owners of the stock in joint stock COM
pany take all the assets at the dissolu-
tiop, the owners of policies take all at
the period of final dissolution of a mu-
tual company. The inference is not ex-
actly correct reasoning. Iadmit that the
time of dissolution is the time of distri.
button but think that while there can
be but one time Of dissolution for
stock company, there are as many times
for dissolution of mutual as the recur-
renee of times fer the expiration of poll
cies. In other words, whenever policy
expires, dissolution is effected as be-
tween the rest and the holder of that
policy. And at such time he is entitled
to his share of the assets, il under the
management during the period he was
such policy holder (such stockholder)
there be any. If take any other view
of the case, / find myself going against
reason and fair dealing, and taking the
money which was given and held in
trust for one and giving it to others.
In my judgment, every policy which
has been issued by the company since
the year 1876 on which premium has
been paid, and which has not been for
feited, should be represented in making
distribution of tho surplus now on hand
and the respective owners and holders
thereof receive their fair proportion.
think this proportion should DO ascer-
tained upon the basis of premiums paid
rather than the amount of reinsurance
covered by tho policy. For premiums
include by time and amount and are
regulated accordingly. A policy for
no, 900 for five years would be worth less
than Tor ten years. And besides the
premium is the amount actually paid,
and this seems to render it the proper

The Mikado Fan Drill at Lyceum
Hall. Friday evening.

--0ne day week or two ago a strap
ping, hearty looking tramp entered the
premises of Mrs. Susan Rittenhouse. in
Kingwood township, near Conkling's
Corner, aud seeing Mrs. Rittenhouse and
her young daughter in the wood house he
approached and insolently demanded q
sum of money. Mrs. .Rittenhouse told
the intruder that she had no money for
him, but offered to go into the house and
get him something to eat. The loafer
thercupon picked up club and swore
that money was what he wanted and whpt
he would have. But Mrs. Rittenhouse
was not SO easily frightened as he had
calculated upon. She seized the axe and
swung it high, at the same time ordering
the cowardly rufiian to take himself off
or the band would play some lively dance
music right quick. The tramp was not

A Bridge at Pierre.

Washington, March 19-Mr. Dnnham
has introduced a bill to authorize the
construction of bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at Pierre, Oak. by the Da-
kota Central (Northwestern). In ad-
dltion to the maintenance of tracks over
the bridge, the bill authorizes the COM
pany to construct ways for vehicles and
foot passengers, and charge such tolls
as may be approved by the secretary OF
war. The company is required to con-
struct the bridge without interference
with navigation, and all plans are to be
submitted to the secretary of war with
map of the location, giving one mile
above and below the Topography of tie
banks, etc. If built with an unbroken
span the bridge must not be OF less ele-7
walton than fifty feet above extreme
high water marks, and the spans must
not be less than 400 feet. III q
draw is necessary it must be pivot
draw over the main channel, at an ac-
cessible and navigable point. and with
spans of not less than 160 feet long to
clear on each side of the pivot pier, and
the scans adjoining the draw must not
be less than three hundred feet. By an
agreement between the Dakota Central
and the Sioux Indians in 1880, the COM
pany obtained the right to use for rail
| road purposes one section of the land
on the western bank of the river at or
near Fort Pierre, so long az the land re-
mained part of the reservation, the
company paying the Indians five dol
lars 40 sicre. The money. amounting to
SO, 200, was paid to the secretary Of the
| interior, for the use of. the Indians, on
July IS, 1881. The bill recites this
! agreement and payment of the money
and grants the land to the railroad, and
provides that when the bridge is COM
pIeted patent shall be issued to The
company for the land purchased from
| the Sioux.

Canton News: From letter Just re-
ceived from Delegate Clifford, We learn
he is trying to get the war department.
to cancel the charges which stand
against Dakota for arms furnished many
years since, and which have gone, no
one seems to know where. If he can get
this old claim cancelled, he thinks the
show for getting ordnance te equip two
companies of Dakota light artillery, very
good. Delegate Clifford also states he
sees no reason for doubling that the
movement for division and admission
will be successful. The News would
prefer to see Dakota admitted as q
whole, but if congress will let us in in
time to vote for Blaine and Logan in
1888 we shall be satisfied, even though
we have to be cut in two.
The man at the helm and the ordinary
passenger seldom see things just alike
hence it is that the Washington correspon
dent of the Press and Dakotaian is not as
sanguine of admission as Judge Clifford
but believes that we ore bound to be
divided, the democrats seeming willing
to favor division on the 46th
parallel. Division and admission are
what the people of southern Dakota want
it is what is demanded as matter OF JUS.

mands admission into the union no less

In conformity with public sentiment
and with what has grown to be custom
IN many states of the union, l hereby
designate Saturday, the Oath day OF
April, prox., as Arbor day, to be devoted
to tree planting and such beautifying
of public and private grounds as shall

people and make pleasant the public
places OF the territory. And by the
authority conferred by law do hereby
proclaim the said Oath day of April a
general holiday and direct that the ter
ritoriaf Offices be closed and all official
business suspended. The one requisite
to make this land the equal, fl not
the superior, of the most favored regions
Of earth is the growth of forest and
ornamental trees. The wide pralries
need them. They are q protection and
an ornament. They are direct and ad :
dition to the value of land, and will in q
few years become O source of positive
income. They will grow while you
sleep. They will add to your wealth
while you rest. No investment will pay
yon better. both in material sense and
in that satisfaction which is the out
growth Of pleasant surroundings. In-
yite the particular attention of teachers
in the public schools aud those in charge
of our territorial institutions to the i'm
portance of deyoting this day to or
namenting the grounds where our
children cougregate or where the un-

Let every public place be made to bios

loveliest and purest ornaments, which
