A Big C..n.prny's Taxes.

Rapid City, s. D., special.-A case
will come up in court involving $15,O0
in back taxes on the Harvey \ Peak
Tin Mining, Milling and Manufacture
ing company. For a number Of years
the taxes of this large company have
been accommodating. The treasurer of
the county made a levy on the person
al property, consisting of all the ma
chinery, the hotel and Office fixtures,
horses and wagons, and all the grain
and hay harvested from the ranches.
The stockholders claim that the law
under which the tax levies and assess
ments were made was repealed during
the last term of the legislature, there
fore will not stand in court. The
treasurer was enjoined from making
the sale of the property on Oct. 1, and
it is expected the case will terminate
in court.

Assistant Attorney General Van De-
vanter Of the interior department has
prepared, and Acting Secretary Ryan
has approved, a decision which will be
of considerable interest to the public
land states. Section 6 Of the act of
March 2, 1889, authorized those who
had partially exercised their homestead
privilege to make an additional entry
of public land, so as to make a full
quota Of 100 acres. Heretofore this
section has been construed as applying
only to those who had partially exer-
cised their homestead privilege before
the passage of the act, but this new de-
cision overrules the former opinions,
and holds that this section equally ap-
plies to all who took less than 100 acres
after the date Of the act. The decision
a y that it was the evident intention
of congress to provide a mean where
by every homesteader might acquire
title to 100 acres Of land.

Grand Forks, N. d., Special me
little village Of Hatton, in Trail couh-
ty, has a ghost story, not a Dlooo-
curdling one, but just a plain mystery
with enough Of weirdness to make IL
interesting. A few nights ago a.
couple of residents Of that prosperous
village were passing by the church,
the hour being about 8 o'clock, II
the evening being a bright, pleasant
one. AS the two citizens a~pproacheu
the church they were surprised 10
hear sounds of music coming from the
church, the door of which was closed:
Two of the windows were raised
about five inches, and, through the
aperture thus left, could be plainly
heard SQUADS Of low soft music. COM
ing. as ti.esy supposed, from the organ
within. Tile church was KNOWN ~

strange that any person could nave
gained access to the building. Wine
the listeners stood talking over the oc-
currence in subdued tones three oth-
ers happened along, and they, too'
heard the rl,,sic. t1,he sounds are de-
scribea to have been of a strange,
weird character, and the stiffness OF
the evening. the gathering gloom ana
the soft musical strains rom the
church produced a superstitlous
in the minds of the five men. ana
none of them cared to enter the
church and investigate. Finally the
preacher was sent for, and, together
with others, he entered the church
ana made a strict search for the mys-
FERROUS musician, but no trace could
be found.

Bond. Declared 1lleaal.

Bismarck, N. D.. Special.-The SUI
preme court has made a decision that
will be far reaching in effect. 1t was
in the case of Birkholz VS.. Dinnie, ap-
pealed from Grand Forks county.
Fifteen. years ago the city Of Grand
Forks issued bonds to the amount of
$4,000, and the same were payable
Oct. 1, 1897. The city council passed
a resolution to refund, having already
reached the 4 per cent debt limit. The
supreme court holds that the issuance
Of the bonds were illegal as there
must be an interim between the time
Of their issue and the payment of the
other bonds in which the debt limit
would be exceeded and which excess
might be permanent in case of loss or
diversion of proceeds Of the sale of
bonds. The lower court is sustained!
Opinion by Judge Corliss.

LARGE APPROPRIATION BY IN
PERIAL DIET.
TO INFORM AMERICANS HOW TO
MAKE TEA

Ssycra; ronths ago, the japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a special
commission, composed of Mr.. S. Nit
suhashi, president of Shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly, and Mr.. j. Ohara, mem
Der of Japanese parliament. to investi-
gate the condition of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada.
and to cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mr.. T. Mizutany. the American
representatives of the Japanese Tea
Guild, in giving publicity to the merits
of japanese teas and the method OF
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are
planning to open tea bazars in many of
the principa: cities in the United
States and Canada. where ladies can
enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made
by experts, and at the same time re-
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make it equally we'll at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is of
Japanese growth, yet, the majority of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which it
contains. 1t is believed by these gen
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession of the secret Of making good
tea, the consumption in this country
will fully equal that of Europe in pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated a large fund to aid
the japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for making jap
anese tea, the translation of which is
as follows:
First-Use a small, dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in n t%easpoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using Japanese teas,
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water. and let stand with closed
lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor. japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar, free from
moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate. and sweet flavor Of Jap
anese teas. neither sugar nor cream
should be used,

The choir of a Babylon, Long Island
church refused to sing because the con.
gregation insisted on joining in the ex
ercises. This produces a new question,
1t is proper to pay a clergyman for do
ing the religion, in the way of prayer
and preaching, of several hundred per.
sons 1t was once argued that congre-
gational singing only was proper in &
church, the opposite side of the ques-
ton being something Of an %absurdity,
as If one were to hire ones servant to
do his eating and his praying for him.
But surely neither the choir nor the
preacher ought to monopolize the wor-
Shipping as a public or a private right.

DaclfDe OF G%alIantry.

1t cannot be concealed that there is a
growing tendency, even in the South,
where masculine g%allantry has held out
longest, on the part of men to let women
in the street cars shift for themselves. 1t
has not come to that point yet, but the
movement is growing in that direction. 1t
is a fact that men are rapidly failing in
the courtesy which was once uniformly
shown to women, and the reason, to a
large extent, is thai men are meeting
women as competitors in all fields of la
Dor, and this fact vastly changes the So
cial relations between the exes. Women
are claiming all sorts of equality with
men, moral, political and physical. and
are declaring s4nore and more their indie
pendence. The effect on the next genera
ton will be very marked and peculiar.
The men and women of the present are
affected to an -overpowering extent by the
influence of old ideas and training, and
that is the reason they talk about street
car manners and social ethics in their re-
lations to the sexes but in the year 1880.
just thirty-three years, or the PERIOD OF
people will nc longer concern about SUCH
matters.
The greater the number of women at
work in proportion to the men the more
stringent the competition, and it "a cas-
lily be seen that according to the figures
shown, the day might come when there
would be no street car manners, but
every individual would look out for him
self or herself, as the case may be. But
even should chivalry be e~xtinguished
from human manners, there will always
remain the Christian grace of charity; SO
in the time to come. able-bodied youns
men and women who have seats in the
cars will rise to give their places to Old
men and women, and to others who may
be sick or disabled.-New Gleans Plea
