ASSESSMENT OF COUNTY LANDS C ~
monwsalth's Attorney j; e olsm y ..,, Of t
.anorter. said The assessor OF land,
Mr. Robert R. Vel CD. has commenced his
mo,k Of assessments 10 the country. Many
oasstions arise to perpiex the assessor be-
q qsnse of the high value of land for instance
land has been selling here from $50 TO $500
nar acre. Now the s ate tax is 40 cents Cd
iba 800 va luatiop. Suppose a farmer own
no 100 acres is assessed ut 500 per acre,
hen he would be compelled TO pay the State
80 annual tax while 10 many ccun'ies Of
rbe State the assessment on agricultural
linda lust 90 prolific as the county lands is
irolo s. to so per acre; consequently the
ogner. on this land pay a State tax of oniy
f,om 81 20 to 81 ON a tract of 100 acrts. The
farmers of Alexandria county sre opposed
~ pa,ing 30 much more State tax in COM
carson with many other couGties of the
SIate and are bringing the matter strongly
to the attention of the assessor, and will
~nrohabiy petition legislator Hnms for slatu
tory relief in the matter.

Hon. George N. BaXter-The reference in
your Minneapolis letter i'll SUNDAYS GCoBE
to my appointment as special assistant
United States attorney in the Northern Pa
cific and Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
way cases has my attention. The imputa-
ton upon Mr. hay is unfair and entirely UNI
deserved. In the Northern Pacific case, At
torney General Garland appointed N. W.
Hobson Esq, of Denver, to assist me IN the
conduct of the case. and was appointed by
Attorney General Miller 10 fill the vacancy oc
casioned by his recent resignation. In the
Milwaukee case, I had already, while United
States attorney, requested the appointment
of an assistant, and the request had been ac-
ceded to before Mr.. Hay had been appointed
my successor. 1 did not and do not under
stand that such appointments were or are
disparagement of my ability or that of Mr..
Hay. The department of justice simply
recognized the fact that these special cases re-
quired more time for their preparation than
could be given them by the district attorney
without neglecting the other important bust
ness of his Office. Such appointments are
not unusual; the statute makes special pro-
vision for them. and there is not a judicial
district in the United States i'll which they
have not been made repeatedly

Will the Sioux City & Northern Rail-

with $1,000 in cold cash before being in
cOrporated in Minnesota?
The Sioux City & Northern is rail-
road company incorporated under the
laws of the state Of Iowa. 1t now de-
sires to extend its lines into Minnesota,
and desires to become domestic cor
poration under the provisions of chap
ter 255 of the General Laws of 1889,
claiming, however, that its prior incor-
poration In Iowa should free it from the
taxes imposed i'll chapter 225 of the
same laws, which provides for the pay
ment of $50 Oh the first $4,000 capital
stock, and 50 additional for every S1O,-
600 or fraction thereof of capital stock.
Under this law the fees due from the
Sioux City IL Northern are something
like $1,000.
The railroad company is obdurate,
and Attorney General Clapp yesterday
secured writ of quo warranto from
the supreme court, returnable Friday,
commanding the railroad corporation
to snow cause at that time why it should
not pay the fees as provided by law.

by attacking its constitutionality.

GILFILLAN, c. j.
In an action Of ejectment by cor
poration of which there are contesting
claimants to the Offices, upon an answer
alleging that the defendant is in posses
ion under one set of claimants, the
court, while it can not render judgment
as between the claimants so as to eX-
clude one set and put another into the
offices, will determine whether the set
which let defendant in were officers of
the corporation. One can not be de
facto officer unless he is acting as
such under colcr of having been
rightfully elected or appointed.
In the case of a church congre-
cation, if majority, not acting within
the regular organization, get together
and assume to elect trustees, it has not
the color of an election by the congrega-
ton. Civil courts never assume to de-
termine the abstract truth or falsitv of
any religious doctrine. The most they
can do is when rights of property are
dependent on adherence to or teaching
of particular religious doctrine, to
examine what, as fact, the doctrine is,
and whether as fact the particular
person adheres to or teaches it. When
the contract provides or by implication
contempiates that what is according to
or consistent with the particular doc
trine shall be determined by some re-
ligious iudicatOrY, the determination of
such judicatory duly made, when the
matter is properly brought before 1t. is
conclusive on the civil courts. In the
case of a religious congregation,
what are the doctrines adherence
to which is condition of
membership must be determined
by reference to the rules, constitution
or bylaws of the congregation. Where
a congregation in Its constitution adopts
certain books as the opponents of its
faith and doctrine. and there subse-
quently arise honest differences of
opinion as to the Interpretation of the
statements of doctrine in such books.
and the constitution is silent as to such
matter of Interpretation, and provides
no mode for determining the differ
ences, the civil courts will not hold that
adherence to either Interpretation dis
solves ipse facto members connection
with the congregation, so that he ceases
to be member of the corporation it
has formed TO hold and control its prop
erty.

1. In an action in repievin originally
brought in Justices court, defendant, by
general and specific denials in his an
swer. put in issue all of the allegations
of the complainant, which was in the
usual form. He further averred in the
answer that he was the owner of the
property in dispute, but the previous
denials in the pleading do not seem to
have been predicated upon this claim of
ownership. Held, that it was not error
for the trial court to admit in evidence
certified copy of the chattel mortgage
upon the property, executed and de-
livered by its owner, not the plaintiff, to
a third person, it having previously APP
peared from the testimony that the de-
PENDANTS possession was as the author

gee, and in accordance with the terms
of the mortgage. 2. Other alleged er-
rors considered and disposed of.

power ten or fourteen miles to this city
would be small, aud that the loss In
transmittal would be only 90 per cent of
the total power made at the falls.
John Birkinbine, of Philadelphia,
estimates the total available power
at the lowest stages at 100000 horse
power. He states that while the
entire fall of the river is $50 feet be-
tween Thompson and Fond du Lac,
ten dams the owners have decided to
put in will utilize 1854 feet, or about
81. 200 horse power. at the lowest stage.
Dam No. will be located at the state
line, half mile above Fond du Lac. 1t
will be 800 feet long and 20 feet high,
and the sides and bottom will rest and
be supported by solid rock bed and
banks. By this dam the river bed will
be turned and large natural basin will
be formed. This dam will give over
5000 horse power. Other dams will use
the water over and over again, and the
company expects to locate mills, facto-
ries. stamping shops and great indus
tries of all kinds.

A Probably Fatal Stabbing ARRAY

A Probably Fatal Stabbing ARRAY
in a Washington Street Saloon.
What may yet prove fatal affray &C.
cured last night about II o'clock in the
Swede saloon at the corner of Third and
Washington streets. The trouble was
between Domenico Angelo and
Francesca Palombo. two Italian
railroad laborers, and Pat Clan
cey, a young Irishman. The
story of Clancy is that he and COM
panion entered the saloon and went up
to the for glass of beer. The two
Italians were playing pool, and without
any provocation rushed upon him with
knife, cutting a long and
deep cash in his left groin
and narrowly missing the fem
oral artery. After the cutting, the
two Italians ran out of the place, and
an hour later were arrested at Jack
son and Seventh streets by Officer
Coveny. the two having been described
to all the police, who were on the look
out for them. Assistant City Physician
Coggswell was called and dressed
Clancey's wound. He pronounced it
very dangerous one, which might prove
fatal at any time. Clancy was removed
to his home, 755 Park avenue, in the
central patrol wagon.
When searched at the central station
Palombo had knife on his person.
Angelo had big revolver and two
knives, one of the latter being
bloody. 1t is common large
bladed black-handled pocketknife. The
two affected not to speak English at the
station. Later, with Officer Deiosso for
an Interpreter, Palambo stated that he
asked Clancey for chew of tobacco
and Clancy responded with slap in
the face. He also pulled off his coat to
fight when Angelo pulled out his pocket
knife and inflicted the wound.

VANDERBURGH, J.
When a party had settled upon land
and made lawful Improvements thereon
as required i'll order to be entitled to
enter and purchase the same under the
laws of the United States and without
fraud on his part, subsequent to the
entry thereof, sells and conveys the
same to purchaser who knows the ma
ture of the title, and that the same is
subject to be contested by another
claimant, he may recover of the pur-
chaser the sum agreed to be paid as the
consideration of such deed. The pur
chaser of real estate has it in his power
to exact covenants In the deed, as
condition of his purchase. otherwise he
must ordinarily be considered to have
assumed the risk of the title, and the
price is deemed to be regulated accord

Contracts Must Be Mutual.

Cyrus E. Brown, respondent. VS.. Alphonzo
Munger, appellant. Order reversed. COL
Inns, j.
a. An agreement for the sale, ex-
change or conveyance of real property
is sufficient if it contains the essential
terms of the contract, expressed with
such certainty that they may be under-
stood from the instrument itself. The
legal principle that contracts must be
mutual does not mean that each party
must be entitled to the same remedy for
a breach by the other. There must be
mutually of obligation, but not neces-
sarily mutuality of remedy. e. In
the case at bar defendant agreed to con-
vey and plaintiff stipulated that he
would receive in part payment of GER
tain leasehold interest 800 acres of good,
tillable lands in Dakota, to be situated
within nine miles of a railway station.
Held that this conferred upon the de-
PENDANT the right to select and appropri-
ate to the contract the tract, or tracts of
land, subject to the requirements, as TO
quality, quantity and location above
mentioned. 81 In order that specific
performance of an agreement for the
sale, exchange or conveyance of land he
decreed, it is not absolutely essential
that there be mutually of remedy, alb
initis; but the mutual enforcement of
the contract should be practicable when
specific performance is adjudged. The
court should be able to enforce, by its
decree, all of the terms, in present.,
should have the power to supervise the
performance of the contract by each of
the parties, and in all of its par is. ~
The answer in this case alleged that the
defendant. who demanded specific per-
Torrance by the plaintiff, had selected
out, set apart and appropriated to the
contract before mentioned, certain tracts
of land completely answering the re-
quirements of the instruments as to
quality, quantity and location, had exc
'cuted proper conveyance thereof, ten
dered the same to- plaintiff, and in all
things stood prepared and willing to
perform the contract on his part. Held,
upon such allegations. that he was en-
titled to decree as demanded.

such fact will not relieve the employer
