TOWNSHIP OWNERSHIP. II
suit Over Valuable Land ON the Coded
Reservation.

THERE is at present an interesting
1ght in progress for possession of the
land embraced fh the old Sherman City
townsite in the ceded Sioux lands on
the west bank Of the Missouri River,
South Of Chamberlain. Sherman was
tho first town located on the ceded
lands after the reservation was opene d
for settlement. The tcwnsite origin
ally contained about 200 acres, all Of 1t
being finely situated and very valuable.
subsequently the townsiters withdrew
their application and put in another
application for $40 acres OF the same
land. This amount was finally reduced
70 about flfty-ive acres and merged
into the townsite OF Gladstone. This
.WAs on or about the 10Th OF August,
The application Tor the town site and
delier land adjoining, amounting In all
70 about 100 acres, was fled in the
local hand Office and made OF record
pending on appeal Of James B. McIn-
turf, who had made actual settlement
on the land under the homestead laws
FEBRUARY II, 1890 the second day after
the land WIS opened for settlement.
Ho flied his application to make home
stead entry April Is. 1890, which was
rejected by the land officers as being
u conflict with the application of the
Sherman Townsite Company.
From this rejection. McIuturf ap-
pealed 10 the Commissi0ner Of the gem
oral land spffice. II appears that the
land officers ignored the application
and appeal Of. Mclnturf and allowed
three different persons to take about
forty acres each of the land claimed by
McInturf, and the tOwnsite ol Glad
stone (n0w Oacom4) took tho re-
mainder. The C Commissioners of the
general lard Office decided against No
Inturf, and calls attention to the fact
that patents have already been Issued
for three Of the A0-acre tracts 81 the
contested quarter section, tho remain
ing forty acres being the town alta

advertised to mako 1nal proof "a the

Total.

1t will be seen from this that under
the stimulus of the bounty the produc-
tion OF beet sugar has already reached
q point where it exceeds that of cane
sugar. The attention of capitalists Is
being turned to beet-sugar business as
an investment, and farmers are Just
beginning to under stand that under
the present system there is money in
raising sugar beets.' There is reason
TO believe that If the bounty could
have been continued a few years the
business would have become perma-
nently established. The Wilson bill,
it it becomes law, will kill it dead.

Decided N Interesting Land Case.

A VERY Interesting law case was de-
cided at Sioux Falls by Judge Garland
as referee. In 1891 Mrs. Lydia e.
Jackson, OF Union, City, Ind, sold
quarter section OF land, receiving .
mortgage and notes for $4,000 In par
tial payment. Her husband owned the,
Commercial Bank of Union City, and
she put up the notes ~ security for his
debt. The bank commenced FORE
closure and ma le her q party to the
SUIT. She resisted and claimed the
Sheriff's deed should run to her, o. the
law OF Indiana prevented = woman from
transferring any Of her separate prop
erty to pay the debts oil her husband.
The whele question hinged on whether
the Indiana or south Dakota law
should prsvaii. Judge Garland held
that, inasnnch as the land sub
ject Z, for6closure yas In this State,
the local lsN should prevail. The case
will be appealed: !.

The discovery of the oxygen blast
rendered great service to chemistry.
The apparatus is fed with coal gas and
oxygen. and a temperature of two
thousand degrees has been obtained.
Nothing except quicklime has been
found to resist this heat. 1t is, how
ever, sometimes necessary to submit
substances to a temperature exceeding
two thousand degrees and Henri Mols-
san, French chemist, has designed Q
furnace which, by employing the heat
yielded by the electric arc, has given a
temperature of two thousand degrees
He uses n fifty horse power machine,
and the arc measured up to four hun

volts When the temperature approache }

cannot be reduced by charcoal ut the
highest temperature of our furnaces, is
quickly reduced at three thousand, and
In ten minutes it is easy to obtain an
tngot of one hundred and twenty
grammes of seranium- At three thou
sand even the material of the furnace
(quicklime) melts and flows like water,
while carbon quickly reduces calcium
oxide, and the metal is liberated in
abundance
While this is going on in France En-
glish chemists are working at the other
extreme. Prof. Dewar is experiment.
ing with the new scientific agency, in
conceivable cold. Air has been reduced
not only to n liquid, but to a solid, two
or three times within the past fort
night. Prof. Dewar has succeeded in
producing in his laboratory piece of
solid air. He has not yet tested the ma
ture of the new solid, which is almost
as clear as crystal. 1t may be jelly OF
the solid nitrogen, containing liquid oXy-
gen, much as calves foot jelly contains
water ditfused into gelatine, or it may
be true ice Of the liquid air in which
both oxygen and nitrogen exist in solid
form. A doubt arises from the fact
that Prof. Dewar has not been able by
his utmost efforts to solidify pure oXy-
gen, which, unlike other gases, sesists
cold produced by its own evaporation.
Under the air pump nitrogen, on the
other hand, can be frozen with compar-
ative ease. 1t has already been proved
that in the evaporation of liquid air nj
trogen escapes first Consequently the
liquid is constantly becoming richer in
that constituent which has hitherto
resisted solidifcation. 1t thus becomes
q question whether cold produced is
sufficiently great to solidify oxygen or
whether its mixture with nitrogen
raises it's freezing point, or whether il
is really frozen at all, but merely en-
tangled among the particles of the solid
nitrogen. Louis Post Dispatch.
