BUILDING FIND LOHN CRSE.
AN LUXURIOUS CONTRACT.
Che Court G3o1os Chat the
association is Subject to
tie Stafntorn DenaItn.

Great interest has been taken in
the decision Of the supreme court
IN what is called the building asso-
ciation case. The case is that of
6. G. Stevens ct al vs. the Home
Savings 4 Loan association of Min
neapolis, MINI.
The plaintiffs in this action,
about June /, 1892, took q shares
Of stock in the association and Dor
rowed $500. They agreed to pay
$3.50 a month which was to be
applied, first to the payment Of
fines or assessments made against
them in pursuance Of the by laws;
second, To the payment of premium
q precedence amounting to 1915
a mouth; thifd. to payment of in
terest amounting to%i2. 30 a month;
the balance 10 be credited as dues
on the stock.
Plaintiffs began theifaetion Jan.
4, 1886. They alleged that they
bad fully paid the mortgage and
that the company refused to cancel
it. They therefore sued to compel
the defendant to cancel the mort
gage and satisfy the record, aud
further asked for Il judgment for
$t00 penalty.
The defendant denied the allega-
tiqns Of the complaint and brought
a suit to foreclose the mortgage,
claiming there was still due some
$500. Tie cases were consolidated.
Whom they came to trial the COM
pany was given a judgment Of fore
closure for 1867 and costs.
This judgment has been reversed
by the supreme court on the ground
that the contract WAS usurioas.
The court holds that the company
was entitled to collect 40 interest,
that the principal of the mortgage
had been fully paid, and that the
lower court should have sustained
the demurrer filed by the appel
lants, and the case was remanded
with instructions to try the action
brought by the latter.
The opinion Of the supreme court
i'll the matter is by Justice QuarIes
and is eoncurred in BY Chief JUS
Nee Sullivan and Justice Houston.
After reciting the facts Of the mat
ter and the proceedings of the low
er court, it says:
"The court erred in overruling
the demurrer to the complaint in
the foreclosure suit brought by res
pondent. The FIRST ground set
forth in the demurrer was we'll TAX

secure which the mortgage was
given, hereinbefoFo set forth, and
which was set forth at length ii

have already said with reference to
the question Of usury that under

plead usury. That the respondent

the existence Of any fact which,
under its bylaws, made the re-

was purely one Of loan. Building

Ency. Of Law e cd } vol 4, at pag.
es 1867, says: The remaining
view is that the transaction is
loan proper and subject to the US
ury law. 1t is stated in support
Of this idea that an incorporated
association certainly is not a part
nership and that in case Of loan
by an Incorporated body the ulti-
mate liability does not depend at
all upon the outcome Of the ven
ture and that there is hence no
such uncertainty as would exempt
it from the usury law. 1t is said
further that there is no sale be-
cause the holder still remains the
owner Of the stock, subject only to
the associations lien, and no re-
demption, because the stock still
remains in existence, and also that
amount borrowed is to be returned

The decision OF the lower court
in the case Of Nina Won Rosenberg
ct al SIS Joseph and Katie A. Per-
rault was affirmed. IN this case
the plaintiffs sought To recover
half interest in the hot springs
property under law that was in
il force in Idaho from 1874 to 1897.
They were the children Of ]. L.
Stephens by his first wife. They
claimed that, upon their mothers
death, one half Of this property de-
scended to them. The district
court granted motion for non

it was incumbent on the plaintiffs
to show that Stephens s'iio of the
property t. JUICE Kelly was not
for the purpose Of paying debts
chargcabie against it under the
statate. This decision is affirmed
by the supreme court
The opinion SAYS h pirt: After
a careful study Of The said statute,
and the decisions Of other states
.constrping similar statutes, we
have arrived at the following con-
illusions:
'l-The legal title 10 the lands
in question remained in John I.

wife, CordelIn B. Stephens, onc-half
for himself, the other one half IN

"2-The surviving husband was
authorized under the said statute
TO sell the said lands for the pur-
pose Of paying the community
debts that existed at the death of
the deceased spouse.

some legal points involved in the ques-
tiOn, but an appropriation of $40, 800 for
the purpose was finally allowed, sub
ject to the acquisition Of a quit claim
for the Nivers tract. There was also
a hearing given the Massachusetts
delegation in congress, represented by
Representatives Knox, Lowering, Nc
Call, Moody and Simpkins, who were
appointed at a joint meeting Of the
Massachusetts members of both houses
yesterday to present the claims of Bos-
ton for dry dock there. They wanted
an appropriation Of about $1.3OO,OOO for
a dry dock, equipped to accommodate
the largest vessels, to be erected at
Boston, though they contended they
would favor also one at Portsmouth or
Kittery Point after one had been built
at Boston. They pointed out that in
case of war the New England coast
would be attacked, and predicted that
a battle would be fought off Cape Cod,
and there would be no place to dock an
injured vessel.

The Spring season has arrived and we are
ready for it with the largest, finest and best
stock of clothing for men, youths and chill
dren ever brought to Shenandoah. Each
article is sold with guarantee as to quality
and make, and every piece is made by us.
Have you heard of our One Price System
Wen tell you. Since the Bird of March we
have been doing business on a strictly One
Price basis. No more cutting prices at our
place. You find every garment marked dis
tinctly at what it is actually worth to the
consumer. If you like what you examine
you take it at the price matchmaking less
and nothing more. Since the One Price sys-
TEN has been in operation our business is
greater than ever it was before People
express surprise at the prices marked on our
goods. We have always sold cheap, but
under the One Price system our prices are
still lower. We mark every piece at bottom
rock and that mark becomes our One Price.
We can sell cheaper than others because we
manufacture all our own clothing and have
no rent to pay. Spare a few minutes to look
at our show windows-one filled with men
clothing and the other with childrens cloth
ing. After looking you will agree with us
that there never before was a better or larger
display of clothing in childrens suits and
novelties in Shenandoah. Anyone who wants
to see the latest styles in clothing should not
miss looking at our windows.
A Fine Merchant Tailoring Department
has been opened in our store and we have
