to the printers counterfeit c-dollar 81 O.

one of the counterfeit notes to the guide

the genuine notes Of the same demon
nation. He said his son had received
the notes recently and when the fiMud
was discovered II was too late to trace
the impostcr
He stated that the genuine issue is so
poor that he believes the country is

who saw the counterfeit notes could
deny that they looked equally "a well

point made by the plato printers, that
the best possible work is the cheapest.
Mr.. Graves submitted to the Finance
Committee specimens of both hand and
steam work. II Is not likely, the plate
printers assert, that he submitted any
that would prove against the steam
presses. The experts who gave evil
doncc on these specimens did IL under
protest and claimed that the test was
unfair and trick for Mr.. Graves to
take the best steam work from new
plates and the worst hand work from
old plates.
The printers also asked TO have three

Graves called before the committee.
but Mr. Graves promptly objected and
claimed 1t was too late TO offer more

Secret Service also wanted to testify

county, is located on the Fargo and
Southwestern division of the Northern
Pacific railroad, fifty-six miles south
west from Fargo.
1t is conceded by all who have
visited this beautiful little city that
no finer location exists in Dakota. 1t
is situated upon the Sheyenne river
which flows through the entire length
of the city, and whose banks are
beautifully wooded with natural elms,
oaks, box elders and ash. The bluffs
on either side gradually ascend to a
height of about one hundred feet,
affording superb building sites, with
pure water at depth of about thirty
feet, and afiording the best possible
drainage.
Lisbon was organized as a city in
1888 with a population of about three
hundred people. It's growth since its
organization has been steady and
constant, each year adding new and
improved business buildings and resi-
dences. Its present population is two
thousand and from present indications
1889 will show more growth in popu-
lation and more new buildings than
any year since its organization. 1t
has five churches, two school build
ings, one Touring mill run by water
power, two banks, and several general
stores, besides various stores carrying
special stocks. 1t has a fine fire
department equipped with two Bah
cock chemical engines.
The trade of a large section of fine
farming country centers at Lisbon,
aHording an excellent trade for its
business houses.
The browning glory of Lisbon is not
so much in the city itself as in the
magnificent farming country sur
rounding it on all sides. Go in what
ever direction you will from Lisbon,
and on every hand stretches before the
view a most excellent and beautiful
country, which is rapidly being cult
waited and brought under subsection
by the sturdy farmers who have
located here.
Ransom county presents the best
field for diversified farming to be
found in North Dakota. The surface
in most parts is gently rolling, afford
ing ample drainage, while its rich
black loan backed by a heavy clay
subsoil, renders it able to resist severe
drouth without damage to crops.
The Sheyenne river flows nearly
through the county from northwest
to southeast, thence easterly for several
miles. thence turning again to the
nOrthward flows again thoruph the
county in a nOrtheasterly direction.
The valley of the river in its entire
length is finely timbered and protected
by sheltering bluffs on both sides. No
finer place for stock growing exists
anywhere than in this valley. The
river affords q water power about
every eight miles in its course and
already four Touring mills operated
by water power are turning out
"Patent Process" -four in the county.
Very little settlement was made in
Ransom county until 1881. From
that time its settlement has been
rapid, permanent and increasing. 1t
has now population of about seven
thousand, consisting very largely of
American born citizens. Statistics
show that about sixty-fve per cent
Of all the population of Ransom
county are American born, the remain
ing thirty-five per cent being chiefly
Scandinavian, German and Irish.
The area of the county Ia twenty
four by thirty-six miles containing

fifteen per cent only 10 as yet under
cultivation leaving over 100000 acres
of fine land yet open for tillage.
Fully ninety per cent of the entire
area of this country is capable of
tillage, the remaining ten per cent
being mostly hay lands. We venture
the opinion that no other county in
North Dakota has so small q proper
ton of untillable land as Ransom.
The chief products as yet are wheat,
oats and barley, but each year shows
an increased average of corn, which,
with acclimated seed Is now becoming
an assured crop except in seasons of
unusually early frosts.
During the past three years stock
growing has engaged the attention of
farmers to considerable extent and
last season for the first time cattle
were shipped to the st. Paul market.
Stock winters easily even on the
prairie, and owing to the abundant
supply of cheap hay and grain can be
fattened for market as cheaply as
elsewhere.
Many fine blooded horses and cattle
are now owned here and the grade of
stock is improving at an astonishing
rate.
Ransom county has passed the point
of being lone crop" county, since
the experience of past years shows
that while it can raise wheat equal
to any, it can raise more and better
stock than any other county in North
Dakota. The subjoined letter from
Mr.. w. w. Moore, one of our largest
farmers, shows what can be accomp-
lished in Ransom county by business
like attention to farming:
Lisbon, ID. II. April |. 1899.
~ came to Fargo in the spring of
1880. After staying there a year con-
cluded to settle in Ransom county,
which did in the spring of 1881.
My brother came on from Cataraugus
county, New York. We bought five
yoke of oxen and that season broke
two hundred acres for ourselves and
one hundred acres for other settlers.
In 1882 we seeded one hundred and
eighty acres to wheat, seventeen acres
to oats and three acres to vegetables.
Our wheat averaged twenty three and
oats eighty bushels per acre. We
have broken more land every year and
seeded to wheat, oats and barley. In
1886 we commenced raising stock and
have been very successful in our
undertaking. We now have one
thousand acres ready for seed, have
thirty head of horses and colts and
several head OF short horn cattle.
There has never been q failure of
crops and no place on earth can raise
finer vegetables. We like the country
and climate and think there is no
country where farming pays as we'll as
here. The settlers are thrifty, 60
ahead people. We have good schools,
and school-houses are being built as
fast as needed. The cost of our fuel
for the past year has been, ten cords
of wood at $500 per cord and four
tons of hard coal at $3.50 per ton.
We get plenty of good water at a
depth of twenty feet. There are more
pleasant days in year here than in
any place l ever saw. Stock does
well and comes out in the spring fat
enough for beef on the wild prairie
hay, which costs us $3.50 per ton to
put up. w. w. MOORE"
The experience of Mr.. Moore is
only sample of that of many others
whose names might be mentioned.
The county has no bonded debt and
its floating debt is so small that its
warrants are nearly at par. Its
farmers are prosperous and contented,

First-The bill does not describe any
property that the Government claims
has been escheated, or Is subject tx
escheat or forfeiture.
Second-There is no averment OF
claim thatany OF the personal property
is subject to escheat or forfeiture to the
Government.
| Three-fhere is no averment in the
| bill. or proof, that any of the property
| referred to was in danger of being lost
or injured, or that it was not safe in the
hands of the persons who are alleged
to be in the possession of the same-it is
only claimed to be illegally in their pos
session, and that they have no right to
hold it.
If it be commended that the action o.
the court in the appointment of a
receiver was proper because the cor.
poration was dissolved, and therefore
| there was no one to hold the property,
we answer that it appears from the
record, and is found as a fact by the
court, that no part of the property in
controversy was held by the corpora
ton itself. The title was vested in
| trustees, who were just as capable of
holding. managing and preserving it
for the members of the Church as an
| unincorporated religious sect, as they
had been to hold it for the corporation.
The record shows that at the time this
suit was brought the titles to the real
estate were held by trustees, duly ap.
pointed by the Probate Court. in pur-
suance OF the act of Congress of March
3, 1887, and that the personal property
was in the pos ess on of William B. Pres
ton, the presiding bishop of the Church.
So that the reason for the rule which
justlfies the appointment was without
precedent or legal authority.
The court in its decree specially finds
that all the real property described in
the findings of the court was, at the
time of the institution of the suit, held
in trust for the corporation. These
proceedings are extraordinary. to say
the least of them. The act of Congress
assumes hat it not only has the power
to disprove the a3t by which the cor
poratiou was chartered, but to declare
that the property may be seized by the
government officers without any
evidence that the corporation has in
any respect violated the provisions OF
its charter, that it may be held in the
hands of a receiver and finally dis
tributed in such manner as the court
might think proper.
Can such proceedings be justified ex
cept upon the ground that the Govern
ment of the United States, it's legisla-
tors, its courts and their officers, are
not bound to regard that provision of
the fundamental law of all free gov
ernments, that no person shall be
deprived of life. liberty or property,
without due process of law? We think
not. Here Is a judgment without a
hearing, seizure without cause. and
an escheat without the pretence of any
authority of law. The decree appealed
from must certainly be reversed.
