covered the Lost Art OF Harden
ing Copper.

BISMARCK, Sept. 26.--An action has
has been filed ia the supreme court, be-
ing an appeal from the court of Judge
Roderick Rose, of Foster county, in the
case entitled John G. Yeatman VS..
James King and Wife and the County
Of Foster. 1t is an action brought to
foreclose real estate mortgage exc
cuted in 1887 by King to plaintiff. In
1890 and 1891 King availed himself of
the seed lien law passed by the legisla-,
ture of 1890, and Foster county supplied
him with wheat for seed on land incum-
bered by Yeatman's mortgage. The
statute in question provides that the
amount charged for grain furnished
shall be tax on the land IL not paid,
and shall be made good to the county in
like manner to other taxes. In effect
1t becomes an incumbrance prior
to other mortgage Indebtedness.
Judge Rose holds such cannot
be the fact; that seed lien is infe-
rior to a prior mortgage, and adjudged
the sale of the premises in the order of
the claims. The county appeals. The
question Is one Of great Importance, ais
many claims of like nature are the
result of counties loaning wheat under
the law of 1890. If the Rose decision Ia
sustained many counties win have a
heavy loss.

THEIR PERSONAL HABITS.

The President Said to Re Looking UP the
Lives of judicial Applicants.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.--The president
was relieved from receiving many call
ers during the day, as the cabinet met
for its usual Friday session at 11:3c
o'clock. A few callers, however, occu-
pied his time until then, the most prom.
inent being Justice Lamar, who called
to discuss the merits of the various ap
plicants for vacant judicial honors.
Attorney General Miller also had q talk
with the president on kindred subjects.
The delay in announcing any appoint
ments for the interstate commerce com.
mission, the court Of claims and the
United States circuit courts, in all of
which there are vacancies, is occasioned,
it is said, by the extreme care the presi.
dent is exercising in considering the ap-
plications on hand, and obtaining infor-
nation as to the personal habits Of the
applicants.
