Union County Land Suit.

The widow and heirs of Albert La
Fleur have brought an action in the cir
cult court OF Union County to set aside
q sheritf's sale of property and have GER
tain transfers declared void. In the year
1874 Adam LA Fleur executed a note to
Cole Bros. g. Hart for $40. AT this time,
under the laws of the territory of Dakota,
1850 acres constituted a homestead, and La
Fleur, with his family, lived on 100 acres,
and owne! no other real property. On
January IA, 1873, the Legislature passed
All act diminishing the homestead to
eighty acres. and about February l judg-
ment was recovered on the note and
eighty acres Of the land was sold to satisfy
the judgment. The action is brought to
set aside the levy and sale and to have the
title quieted to plaintiffs on the ground
that at he time time the note was exc
cuted the land constituted a homestead,
and that the Legislature could not by
u tsequent legislation change it to The
prejudice OF the debtor.

Wild Animals Becoming Scarce.

Wild animals are becoming scarce,
ever in Asia and Africa, a y an agent
for Barnum's circus. The giraffe is the
hardest Of all the wild animals to get
now, owing to the war among the ma
tives In Africa and the wars against the
whites. 1t has been next to impossible
to get q giraffe since the Soudan was
closed, and only one has been shipped
out OF Africa In eight years. Game In
Africa Is being killed of the same as
the buffalo were In this country, and
1t Is only a matter Of comparatively
few years when there will be none left.

caravans, loaded with the skins Of AMI
mails shot by young Americans and off,

officers 60 owe from India and Alden,

sportsmen, slaughter the game simply
for the heads and skins. The lion,

are becoming rar1tles, and If the slaugh-
ter keeps on will be extinct at no dis

Prohihitionists Will Fight.

The Prohibitionlsts of the state are pre-
pairing to make an earnest, vigorous and
general fight to defeat the repeal of the
law next year. S. A. Ramsey, of Woon-
socket, one of the earnest prohibition
lists, and whose wife is president of the
w. c. L. T.. spent Friday in Sioux Falls.
Mr.. Ramsey states that the union has
already laid its plan of campaign and that
1t will be the strongest ever made in the
state. 1t will begin with the annual state
convention of the union. This will be
held in Sioux Falls some time in Septem-
Der, Mrs. Ramsey having decided upon
that date and place.
In case the union secures 500 new mem
bers during the intervening time Pres
dent Francis +. Willard, of the national
organization will come to Sioux Falls and
will deliver two or more addresses there
The convention will last a week and Will
be attended By $50 delegates. while twice
that number Of others Will come.
The union under Mrs. Ramsey's charge
will pursue Il most vigorous campaign. All
the available speakers of the state will
be presset into the ranks, and a consider
able number from the outside will comc
there. They will make a school house
canvass, holding at least che rally in
every school house in the state, while adj
dresses will be given in Sioux Falls and
other towns.
The prohibition leaders, Mr.. Ramsey
says, understand that the work will be
difficult there. and they will devote most
OF their energies to the country and the
farmers. Tic union will not be identified
at all with the third party movement. but
will tight in every party for the selection
of members of the Legislature who are
Prohibitionists. and for the defeat of the
constitutional amendment repeating pro-
hiDitlOn.

No More Saloon War.

A Christian Citizens League has been
organize at Sioux Falls with many of the
most prominent men actively identified
with 1t. The following is the list of Off =
GERS elected: George w. Peterson, presi-
dent; Judge C. S. Palmer, vice president;
recording secretary, c. NJ. Harrison.
Judge Palmer, Mr.. Peterson Mr.. Har-
riSon and Others declared that they were
opposed to the open saloon, but against
any effort being made to enforce the pro-
hlbitory law in that city. They stated
that they would promptly withdraw from
the league if an effort were made to turn
it into an enforcement bureau. Judge
Palmer thought that the league would
have enough to do in attending caucuses,
investigating the character and qualifca-
hons of candidates and opposing I'M
worthy ones at the polls.
The members finally decided to leave
the enforcement OF prohibition alone,
though they left in the constitution the
plank pledging them to work against the
saloon. This stand is expected to draw
into the league a large number OF prom.
inent business men.

nearly a year before the necessary red
tape could be gone through with and the
settlers make their filings. However, eff

commissioner OF the general land Office
Will undoubtedly SO instruct the surveyor

the settlers will be enabled to make their

SissetOn and WhapetOn Lands.

Gen. Ii. r. Pease has Deer selected a
committee to visit Washington for the
purpose of endeavoring to have the lands
embraced within the old SissetOn and
WhapetOn Indian reservation brought
within the general homestead laws. The
price is 50 80 per acre under the terms OF
the treaty whereby the lands were thrown
vren to public settlement, and justice tc
the settlers demands that the lands be
brought under the general homestead
laws, or at least reduced to S1.25 per acre.
The selection Of Gen. Pease for this pur.
pose was a good one, as he had valuable
experience with the opening of the reser-
walton originally, and the further fact that
he once occupied a seat in the United
States Senate.
