A New Prohibition Point.

Judge Plowman of the county court at
Deadwood, s. D., rendered decision on a
new point in the state prohibitory law. The
defendants demurred to the information on
the ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional because the act embraced more than
one subjectnot named in the title. The point
had never been raised before in all the lit-
cation that has grown out of the act in the
state. Judge Plowman sustained the de-
murrers and dismissed the defendants

That Decision ON the Law.

The decision of Judge Plowman, at Dead
wood, in which he held to the unconstitu-
tionality of the prohibition law, is arousing
a good deal of interest. The judges de-
cision is made on the grounds that the title
of the act covers more than one subject
and that the text covers subjects not men
toned in the title; that section covers two
subjects. and that these irregularities are
plainly unconstitutional. 1t is the first de-
cision adverse to the prohibition law made
since It's naSSarn.

MILITARY CAREER.
Gen. Sibley as the Savior of Min

Gen. Sibley'S military career began
with the outbreak of the Sioux Indians
in August, 1862, and from that time
until the close of the civil war he was
one of the brightest stars in Minnesota's
military galaxy. The biographer enters
into minute explanation of the causes
which led to the Sioux uprising, and
then gives in detail the heroic part per-
formed by Gen. Sibley and his gallant
Minnesotians in quelling the outbreak.
all of which is familiar history to our
people. On receipt of the news of the

during his absence in the field, and the
thought of home and its irreparable
desolation. Even before the order to
march from Camp Pope was given the
blow had fallen. "June Is, 1SS3.-Col.

and that body was in It's glory. The or
ganization of new territories, with the
expectation that they would soon be-
come new states in the Union, was one
of great public interest. Wisconsin had
just been admitted as a state, but with
diminished boundaries, which produced
some complications in Mr.. Sibley's case:
He represented the lopped-otf part OF
the territory. 1t was understood that
the admission of Mr.. Sibley to seat in
congress would be equivalent to obtain
ing the assent of congress to the crea-
ton of the new territory of Minnesota.
The biographer gives in detail the in
teresting occurrences in congress dur
ing the discussion of this subject, which
finally eliminated in a victory for Mr..
Sibley, who was admitted to his seat on
Tuesday. Jan. 2, I949, by a vote OF 124
ayes to 81 nays. Next came the strug-
gle for the creation Of Minnesota as
territory, and for its final admission as
