LIENS ON A HOMESTEAD.
Foreclosures ot Them Unconstitutional
In South nis,tn.

In South aiSOtu.
JtDGE Il. II. AIKESs of Sioux Falls
has Just decided u question which will
Tie action was from Lake County and
was to foreclosc IL mechanics lien OH a
homestead. This the Judge decides is
unconstitutional. After rccitlng the
facts in the ease and uuotinng from the
stead from forced sale. the court comes
TO the nub of the question in the follow
ing language.
1.-The plain import of the language
employed is prohibitive. That is, it
prohibits the Legislature from passing
any law subJccting homestead to
forced sale. The term forced sale
must be understood as meaning q sale
which is not authorized by the specia
consent of the owner thereof. The
owners may by power of sale contained
in mortgage give the right TO the
mortgagec TO sell at public vendue un-
der the forms and rules prescribed by
law, their homestead. There is no re-
Striction upon alienation of their eX-
empt property where the terms of the
statute governing it's disposition arc
strictly observed But ,he right of ~
mechanic or material man TO u lien
upon the property whose value is en-
HANGED by reason of the labor expended
or material furnished. does not sbrlng
from tho nature OF his contra t, but
owes its existence entirely to the stat-
ute. and oi crates simply as Il remedial
preference or security. 1t is totally
distinct from the contract or debt and
does not form part of either, and it
must follow that u sale OF it by virtue
of Judgment of foreclosure OF u me-
chanic's lien, as provided by our law,
would be u forced sale within the
meaning of that term as used i'm the
Constitution"

with complaints of insuilicicncy of cars
and is powcrlcss TO give relief. Tho
Chicago and Northwestern has added
ten locomotives to the Dakota Central
division the past Week, and Is doing Its

elevators and warehouses. Over go car
loads have been sent from one town in
twenty-four hours. One million bushels
of wheat were shipped to Eastern mar
iets last month. The deep snow in the
northern part of the state will delay
threshing and hauling of grain to mar
ket, thus giving railways an opportun-
ity to relieve points where buying has
ceased because of no storage. The
present blockade is worse than that
eNper cnced year ago and is likely
TO continue till the middle of February.
The Chicago. Milwaukee and ST. Paul
line has added largely TO its rolling
stock. but is unable to meet the de-
manas OF shippers AT many points on
that line BUYERS have given notice to
farmers not to haul grain to market, US

THE OLD CHURCH TOWER.

Only Just across the way there's an ancient
church tower gray,
Old and gloomy, high and lonely to behold.
There are vines about the door, aud they trail
across the floor.
While the shattered panes let in the winters
cold.
In the tower there hangs a bell, though it
seems as if spell
Had been laid upon its rusty, brazen tongue:
With its hangings rotting down, and with ivy
overgrown,
Lone and silent it remains where first twas
hung.
Many years have passed and gone since its
sweet and silvery tone
Called the villagers to meet in praise and
prayer,
Or gave warning in the night OF the nrenend
in his might,
As it rang the loud alarm on the air.
Often, too, has that old bell tolled the solemn
funeral kuell
Ger some pilgrim in the churchyard laid to
rest;
Or the joyous wedding bell pealing forth that
all is well
As the new made bride and groom the portals
passed.
And that couple, where are they, who were
once so blithe and gay?
Hand in hand along life's path they slowly
strayed;
In old age they passed away, but their chill
dren's children play
Round the spot where they in childhood too
had played.
High above the sleepy town, the church tower
still looks down,
Grave and solemn on the shifting scene below;
And the tide of human life, with its ceaseless
toll and strife,
Watching as the generations come and go.
