Important Supreme Court Cases.

Important Supreme Court Cases.
Three cases we're filed in the supreme
court last Tuesday, two of them at least
being quite important to the litigants.
The old Trail county seat case is among
the number, coming up 'on a exception
taken to an order of Judge Mcconnell
dissolving a temporary injunction grant
ed by Judge Rose, in the absence of
Judge Mcconnell, restraining the inter-
ference by the citizens of Hillsboro with
the old county buildings situated at
Caledonia, the legal county seat, but not
the actual one.
Another one is entitled Jasper vs..
Hazep, comes from Cass county and is
the third appeal in the action. 1t in
wolves the right of possession of a fine
section Of Cass county dirt and a large
lot of personal property. Jasper, the
plaintiff, was at one time unfortunate
and by a combination of circumstances
landed in the p%eniteptiary. While there
he transferred his property to the de-.
PENDANT, as he now claims simply in
trust; as the defendant claims as an alb
solute transfer. In the district court
Jasper always ecovers but twice on law
questions the judgment has been re-
versed. The case probably comes up on
It's merits this time, all the incidental
questions having been disposed Of pre-
viously.
The third case comes from Morton
county and is entitled Charles E. Roby,
ct al. vs.. 4. j. Mitchell, ct al. and the
Bismarck National bank. This is an
action to secure q decree that certain
liens held by the plaintiffs on Morton
county property be declared superior to
certain one held by the bank. Judge
Winchester rendered Judgment for the
defendant bank and E. @. Rice, for the
plaintiffs claim sundry grievous errors
therein.

There was a pretty warm session for a
time over the bill of John White. In
the bill was included a team for the city
board of health, last August, when an
investigation Of some cattle east Of town
was made.
Mr.. Gussner opposed the allowance of
the bill, as he thought the board of
health had been induced to the investi-
CATION as a matter of personal spite to
him to whom the cattle belonged.
MI. Reade, who was one of the board
of health, promptly arose and objected
to such remarks, and he denied MI.
Gussner's statement pretty vigorously.
The remark also aroused MI. McDon-
aid, who was another member of the
board, and he told Mr.. Gussner in Ian
guage more forcible than elegant that he
uttered an untrhth when he said the in
vestigation had been induced by spite.
And after the council adjourned, MI.
Mcdonald took opportunity to call MI.
Gussner down, and pretty vigorously.

Women and Mustaches.

A learned German. who has devoted him.
self to the study of physiology, anthropol-
oily and allied sciences, makes the rather
startling assertion that mustaches are be-
coming among women in the
present day than in the past. He says that
in Constantinople among the unveiled wo-
men that are to be met one out of ten pos
sesses an unmistakable covering of down
on Hle upper lip. In the capital of Spain
again the proportion of ladies with this
masculine characteristic is said to be quite
equal to that observable IN the Golden
Horn. +,
An American medical man states that in
Philadelphia fully per cent of the adult
fairseX are similarly adorned, and probably
the proportion would be still larger but
that many women take the trouble to eradi-
cate the unwelcome growth by the applica-
tion of depilatory preparations. Is this in
crease in the number of women with hair
on their faces to be regarded as a sign that
the human race is improving? Very few
men, at all events, will be disposed to con-
slider that a mustache adds to the charms
Of the opposite sex. Why should the fair
sex be visited with this infliction? Some
writer's on ethnology hold that the higher
races of mankind are always the hairier,
and Mr.. Mott thinks that in a few Gen.
turtles men and women will all be clothed
with hair.-London Standard. /.

No Time to Do Anything.

ut makes me mad" said the old engi-
neer. ito hear people ask why a man don't
do so and so when his engine strikes. It all
comes like a stroke of lightnin. When
we piled 'em up in the Whitesville cut and
killed eight, I was sittin in my window
that night lookin ahead as careful as any
n could. We had started on the curve,
and she was goin as fast as the wheels
could turn, 10 minutes behind time and the
deuce to pay if we didn't make it up by
mornin. Jimmy Hartsell was feedin Ter
every minute.
II thought I saw a glimmer of light on
the bank ahead. 1t was the fash from the
headlight around the other bend of the
curve. Between the time I caught that
flash and when l saw the headlight swing
around the cut a big as a tub it couldn't
have been a hundredth part of a second.
We were nose to nose before I realized-no,
l don't think I realized-but I put on the
air with one yank, yelled t o Jimmy and
fell out of the window. When they threw
water in my face, l s'posed I was cut all up.
The wreck was on fire, and people was hol-
lerin underneath. l laid there fcelin of
myself, expectin every minute to find asott

TO ALI CAT1RRH SUFFERERS
1 Recommend Pe-ru-na, Says Mary Mas
say, Clinton, Texas. She Speaks
From Experience.

The tendency of catarrh of the head is
to pass downwards through the
bronchial tubes to the lungs. Any one
who has had catarrh of the head a year
or more finds the disease gradually pro-
crossing d~ownwards. In some cases the
progress is rapid, and in other cases it is
slow; but, sooner or later, if catarrh is
allowed to run, it will go to the lungs
and set up'the disease known as consump-
ton. It is doubtful il consumption is
ever caused by anything except catarrh.
The catarrh usually begins as a cold
in the head or throat and is neglected
until it becomes chronic; then it begins
to dawn on the victim that he has
catarrh. Unles he is very foolish indeed
he will not rest easy until the catarrh is
entirely cured. Thousands pay no at
tention to it until it is too late.
If Pe-ru-na is used the cold never be-
comes chronic, and hence catarrh Is pre-.
vented. But after catarrh has become
thoroughly established Pe.ru-na will
positively cur it, but it will take
much longer. Even in cases where the
catRrrh has already attacked the lungs
and the symptoms of consumption have
shown themselves the Pe-ru-na will
cure. A great many cases of genuine
consumption have been cured with Pc
ru-na after the patient had been given
up to die.
For further particulars send to The
Pe.ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company
of Columbus, o., for a free copy of "Cli.
matic Diseases" which gives much in
formation on catarrhal diseases.

Killed a Stallion.

Veterinary Surgeon Moore returned
last Friday from Wells county, where he
had been called to inspect the condition
of stallion. He found the animal af-
fected with three different contagious
diseases and. after thorough examin-
alton. killed it at once. The horse was
in the possession of John West who
stated that he was unable to say who
was the owner, but that it must be got
ten rid of at once. This proved to be
another stallion note case in which
nun Der of farmers signed an agreement
with eastern parties. in regard to the
horse. which agreement afterwards
turned out to be note for the value of
the animal. Whether the note lad been
collected before the diseased condition
Of the stallion was learned, is not stated.

Of Interest to School Treasurers.

Of Interest to School Treasurers.
The school superintendent of Foster
county, L. G. Campbell, publishes the
following notice regarding funds lost by
the Lloyd's bank failure in LaMoure
county, and which seems to have a refer
ence to school money lost by the Bank
OF Carrington failure also. The eame
notice is of interest in Stutsman county,
and is as follows:
A case was lately brought before the
supreme court OF North Dakota in which
the Prairie school district OF LaMoure
county sued the district treasurer for
school funds lost through failure OF the
bank. in which such funds were deposit
ed. The court decided that said treas
urer was liable for the money and the
expense Of the suit. There can thus be
no choice in the matter. The money
must be made good, or the treasurer's
bonds will be forfeited, and his bondsmen
liable to the district. Should the district
school board and the county su superintend-
ent both fail to prosecute said treasurer,
any taxpayer in the district may bring
action against him. In all cases where
the treasurers of the respective school
districts fail to make good the money IN
their care by or before the regular Janu-
ary meeting of the school boards, the ap-
portionment accruing to such districts
will be withheld until the treasurers
shall make good their bonds.

That "Comb1natlon Of Schemers.' -

That Coordination Of Schemers." ="
The statement in the Capital that
there is a "com bination of schemers who
would rob depositors" of Lloyds bank,
"by discouraging them into selling their
claims for less than they are WORTH" is
absurd on it's face. Every depositor has
the means of determining what the prob
able dividends of the bank will be. The
statements published in The Alert about
the condition of the bank and the trans
actions that have led up to the wrecking
of it, are facts, not rumors. They can be
verified by inspection of the banks books
and the public records, and by consulta-
ton with the proper officials in charge of
the banks affairs. .....-..
The receiver has no interest but to do
his duty and the management Of the
bank can not but be open and above
board. II deposltor sells his claim for
less than he can easily learn what it is
worth. no one is to blame. While much
depends on the future, a definite esti.
mate has been made public by those fa-
millar with the securities, as to the
probable per cent which the bank can
pay, figure which may possibly reacl
40 per cent. Under these circumstances
it would be impossible to deceive any
one of ordinary intelligence as to the
dividends to be declared, even If any one
cared to try it.
1t is poor attempt ou the part Of the
Capital to shield the Lloyds by alleging
what is practically impossible, that there
is combination of schemers to rob the
deposl:ors, and that these men are no
worse than the Lloyds themselves.
