Those ugly, uncouth and uncomforta BILE
"oench cars" on the Hlterurban line are
always fruitful of adverse comment. The pa
irons OF the line who have occasion to pass
between the Twin Cities by electric cars try
very hard and diligently to submit TO the
olscomforts of the trip for the sake of the
time that may be saved through the speed of
these same bench" affairs, but there is no
galnsaying the fact that for genuine back
ache-inducing devices they challenge every
modern innovation aud invention.

Defective Ballots

To the Editor of the Press:
DEERINe. Sept II, '92.-There has
been a good deal of questioning, es-
pecially among wardens, as to what con-
stitutes defective BALLOT under the
new law-that is-one that has to be en-
tirely thrown out. The law gives war
dens good deal of discretion in the
matter. Sect. 27says: IF for any reason
IL is impossible to determine the voter's
choice for an office to be filled, his ballot
shall not be counted for such office" At
the same time it requires the voter to pre-
parehis ballot by marking lin the appro-
pirate margin or place. "a cross opposite
the name of the party or the name of the
man he wishes to vote for. Under this
latter clause ballots were thrown out in
Deering which had the cross over the
party name although the voters inten-
tion was plainly evident Another ballot
had crosses on the margin at the left OF
the Republican ticket. This was also
thrown out although the voters inten-
ton was evident. Another had straight
lines against each name of the Republican
ticket between the name and the square
and was thrown out. Others had cross
against For Governor on the Republi-
can ticket and were thrown out. Here
DO doubt the voter intended to cross the
party name and got one line too low.
/ think the law should be peremptory
in this respect and say the cross must be
in the square opposite the name or the
vote for that name shall not be counted.

The pisposal of Weeds.

Where weeds have been allowed to
grow until late in the season burning
them is the best preventive of reproduc-
ton. On all farms there is a large
amount of rubbish and vegetable matter
which should be cleared up and raked
together in the fall, and as general
rule it will in the end be found more
profitable to burn it than to permit it to
decay in that state. In the burn heap
both the seeds of weeds and the eggs of
insects will be destroyed. The remains
Of farm crops, especially leguminous
plants, are generally plowed under.

Look After Your. Drains and Drinking

Look After Your Drains and DRINKING
Water.
To the Editor of tie Press:
Considering that we are likely to have
a run of cholera in this country, would
it not be wise for the newspapers of this
state to be constantly advising their read
ers, and especially those who entertain
summer guests, of the necessity of care
fully looking after their water closets,
cesspools, surface drainage, and especial
ly their drinking water supply? This
would seem to be the more important as
in the event of serious outbreak in the
larger cities, there would bea great many
people frem those cities who would seek
an asylum, and no doubt many would
come to our state.

A TAX TITLE CASE SETTLED,
a Decision by the United States Supreme
Court Reversing q District Decree.

u decision by the United States Supreme
Court Reversing District Decree.
The Supreme Court Of the United States to-
day decided In favor Of the plaintiffs and ap-
peuants the cases Of F. W. Sharon and F. G.
Newlands and Thos. J. Fisher against ]. Ran
dolph Tucker ct al. thereby reversing the decree
OF the District Supreme Court. The plaintiffs
claimed ownership to large portion of square
Isl, in the northwest portion Of the city, origin
ally owned by Thos. Tudor Tucker, but which
was sold in 1887 for delinquent taxes. The
plaintiffs in this derived their claim to the
property originally from this tax deed,
which is admittedly invalid. but asserted
the rights Of ownership given by many
parent record title of the defendants.
however, seriously embarrassed any dis,
position OF the property. Suits in equity
were commenced by the plaintiffs
against the heirs OF Thomas Tudor
Tucker for the purpose OF having their
apparent legal title declared to be a cloud upon
the real title claimed by the plaintiffs and OF
obtaining perpetual injunction against its
assertion.
This was novel proceeding in this jurisdic-
ton. The defendants deemed that the plain
tits were entitled to any relief in equity.
The District Supreme Court adopted this
view and refused the relief asked.
The decision of the Supreme Court Of the
District is today reversed and that court is
notified to enter decree declaring
the title Of the compliments to
the premises described in their COM
plant, by adverse possession of the parties
through whom thev claim. to be complete and
that the defendau . De enjoined from asserting
title to the said premises through their former
owner.
The case was argued by Messrs. G. J. Hillyer
and ]. H. Ralston for the plaintiffs and Eppa
Hunton and Henry Wise Garrett for
the defendants. 1t Immediately affects the
title to a valuable square of ground situated
northwest, but it is claimed the effect of the
decision will be to quiet the title and
possession to much real estate in the
District held under similar conditions. There
is provision in the bill recently introduced in
Congress to perfect titles In the
District, intended to cover such cases,
but 1t is said the decision rendered today
makes that provision unnecessary.
