THAT TAX CASE.
The Facts Concerning the Northwestern
Loan and Banking Company Tax Case.

j. H. Williamson, ESQ, started for
Pierre this afternoon to argue the case
Deilman We. Trow before the supreme
court. Another interesting supreme
court case for which Mr.. Williamson lie
attorney for the plaintiff, is the North
western Loan and Banking company
against Joseph Muggli az treasurer
Of Lake county. The case briefly
stated is this: In 1892 the city
assessor listed the 610 shares of stock.
valued at s61, 200, Is certified to by J. l..
Jones, cashier, which was correct. The
law provides for ~deducting from the
value of the stock the amount Of money
invested in real estate, which at that
time the loan company showed to be
$58,S97.4 and had nc other surplus or
reserve fund on hand. This amount the
assessor and board OF equalization re-
fused to deduct according to law, and
the loan company contested the pay
ment of the tax on the ground that it
had been assessed an unreasonable and
illegal amount. IL is also pertinent to
observe in this connection that the same
assessor in the two following years, 1893
and 1894, has deducted the amount OF
Investments &c the company was emit
tied to in the first case, and there has
been no trouble about either Of the two
last assessments. We understand that
the states attorney and the county COM
missioners also stated in connection
with the case that they would have
made the deduction hadit not been that
criticisms would have been made by
people unacquainted with the law. The
defense OF tho county in the present is
sue before the supreme court ID that the
action Of the loan company against the
county treasurer was brought by the
corporation and not by an interested
stakeholder or stockholders. But the
loan company holds that the corporation
is the proper party to bring the suit,
and il this point should be decided
against it by the supreme court at this
time, the case will be brought in the
name Of the stockholders, and the law is
SO plain that they seem ultimately
bound to win anyway.

sioux FALLS, 8. d., Oct. 2A.-Judge
Andrews has granted q divorce to DIR.
Abraham Korn from Julia Korn on the
charge of desertion. They were mar
ried in January, 1891, and lived TO-
gether until June 1893, when she took

Mrs. Korn has o suit pending i'm New

The origin of the annual Thanksgiving
festival was in this wise: When the New
England colonies were first planted, the
settlers endured many privations and diff
culties. Being piously inclined, they laid
their distresses before God in frequent days
Of fasting and prayer. Constant meditation
on such subjects kept their minds gloomy
and discontinued, and made them disposed
even to return to their fatherland, with all
its prosecutions. At length, when il was
again proposed to appoint a day of fasting
and prayer, plain, common-sense old col
onlst rose in the meeting and remarked
that he thought they had brooded long
enough over their misfortunes, and that it
was high time they should consider some
OF their mercies and blessings. The colony,
he said, was growing strong; the fields
were increasing in harvests: the rivers were
full of fish, and the woods OF game; the air
was sweet and the climate saubrious: their
wives were happy, and their children Joy
Gus and strong, and above all. they pos
sessed what they came for, full civil and re-
ligious liberty. And. therefore. on the
whole, he would amend their resolution for
fast, and propose, in its stead. day for
thanksgiving.
His advice was taken, and from that day
to this, whatever may have been the dis
astrous experiences of New England the
old stock of the Puritans have ever found
enough of blessing in their lives to warrant
them in appointing this great annual fes-
tival. For many years, however, it was
confined to New England State after

observed il; but il was not until lSG2 that

nation made it a national festival

MISCELLANY.


Now to thee, g,G,iuus Lord Of the Seasons, be
honor and glory and praise
That again in the JOY of the harvest our iubiant
anthem raise.
Though many the fears that beset us, though
faith wakes feeble and cold.
Thy how. with its promise unbroken, glitters still
as 1t gttered Of old.
Though weary We grow IN our watching the
weeks Of the drought as they pass,
When the earth Is as iron beneath us and tie
heaven above us as brass,
Yet the showers come back i'm their season: once
more in the land there is seen
The brook trimming over with crystal, the grass
as the emerald green.
Though troubled the spirit within us, when the
mist upon valley and plain
Lies thicR, and the clouds in their armies return
again after the rain;
Yet the sun cometh forth as giant and after the
tempest the morn
Is cloudess and fair, and the color grows golden
and rich on the corn
For seed time and harvest we thank thee; our
fears as the shadows have fled;
Thou hast given his seed to the sower, thou hast
given the eater his bread
