COUNTY SEAT CASE.
Emmons County Seat Case to Come
Up at the Next Term of Court.

There will be term of court at Lin
ton June u, and the county seat case
will come up at That time. Regarding
this case a dispatch from Linton says:
''This is the county seat of Emmons
county, but how long it will remain
such is a mooted question. A year
ago last November vote was taken
on the question of removing the county
seat from Williamsport to this place,
and the necessary two-thirds voted for
removal. Some citizens of Williams
port felt there were some technicali-
ties that they could take advantage of,
and started proceedings in court to
declare the vote not adverse to Will
Transport. One of the requirements
of the law is that the voter shall make
a mark on his ballot, but nearly all the
ballots that were cast had printed
cross, and the voter himself did none
Of the marking, which, under the law,
would seem to be essential Linton
is located almost in the center of the
county, but ,Williamsport is only six
miles from the railroad, whereas Lin
ton is % miles from the nearest sta
ton. ..,...~ .... =
One rather remarkable feature of
the case is that the residents of Linton
have sought delay in the trial of the
case. 1t has been put over several
terms of court, and there is every indi-
cation that it will be put over the
coming term, which is to open next
Tuesday. One would have supposed
that the people of Linton, before they
constructed new homes, stables, ho-
tells, stores, ETC., on the strength of
having the county seat would like to
know for certainty whether the coun-
ty seat would stay. It is reported on
good authority that the Williamsport
plaintiffs in the suit are determined to
prosecute the case to the end, and as
certain whether some provisions of the
election law are mandatory and others
are optional with the election officials.
It is very probable that if the vote
of 1888 is set aside by the courts, Lin
ton will lose the county seat for good,
as the increasing population around
Braddock would vote today to return
the seat to Williamsport.

Washington June S.--While there
has been little opportunity for special
legislation during the session
the y, record of the Minnesota
and Dakota delegations; in congress
has been a creditable one. The most
important, piece of legislation of in
terest to the northwest enacted at this
session, the free homestead bill, was
handled in both houses by Minneso-
tans, and the agitation Of Minnesota
members and those from the Dakotas
was largely instrumental in making
it possible to pass the blll. The north
western members also conducted in
very skillful manner, against strong
opposition, the campaign for the Grout
bill proposing to increase the tax on
oleomargarine, made to resemble but
ter, and action on this measure, of SO
much interest to the dairy interests Of
the United States, was defeated for the
time being by the general desire for
early adjournment. The fight will be
renewed next winter, with every. prom
Use of success. The bill opening for
settlement the Fort Buford military
reserve became a law, which will place
at the disposal of prospective settlers
about 100000 acres of land, a large
part of which is desirable for agricul-
tural purposes. +-4 -.gs.
To northwestern members is also
due material notifications of the ship
subsidy bill, which in it's modified
form has done much to enlist the sup
port of many for shipping legislation
who previously opposed measures OF
this character. This matter is in
such shape as to incur early action
next winter. Many bills of a private
character, such as pension bills, those
authorizing construction of railroad
bridges and others of minor nature,
have been passed by northwestern
members during the present session.
The sundry civil bill, which has just
become law, contains number of
provisions of interest to the northwest.
The sum of $4,000 will be expended
for improvements at Fort Meade. The
appropriation of $4,000 for improve
ment at Bismarck, N. D., was reduced,
$4,000 being shaved off in conference.
Through pressure of the members in
terested liberal allowances. will be
taken from the general fund, from
which the improvements to be made at
Fort Smelling will also be provided.
For continuing the work in the Du-
luth- Superior harbor $793,OO0 becomes
available. --
The first appointment to fall in the
Minnesota basket since the approval
of the Alaskan civil government bill
was announced today when Arthur H.
Noyes of Minneapolis was nominated
by the president for judge of the dis
trict court of Alaska. The name of
Judge Noyes was presented to the pres
ident some time ago. He was endorsed
by the entire delegation. Other APP
pointments of northwestern men to
desirable places in Alaska and Puerto
Rico may be expected in the near fu-
ture. - --'

of being choked out by weeds or of /
failing to give q good second cutting,

From study OF the failures in grow
ing this crop it seems that the method
of growing is at fault, according to q /
writer in Farm and Fireside, who says:
AS a general rule, the ground is well
prepared in the spring, the seed soWed

the following, there would probably be
more fields planted to this crop Pre-
pare the land--fye acres is a conven-
lent area-a year or two previous to
sowing by growing well titled corn

soy beans or oats. Harrow the ground

The best method of seeding is to
cross drill, the seed being mixed with
an equal quantity Of sand bran or 9TH
er substance. or the drill being set SO
as to sow only half the quantity at
each operation. In this way half the
seed is soWn across the other half. AS

Don't cut alfalfa as you would clover
after full bloom Cut before the
maximum bloom and for the first
spring cutting even earlier. This will
insure heavier late cuttings. As final
cautions avoid loose, dry ground, let the
soil settle and become moist, avoid late

The woman who cultivates robust health
dresses lightly in winter. She counts II
in her rules OF health that warmth must
rot be applied, but must come from ex-
ercise. So, clad in a light coat through
which the wind whistles, she swings out,
each step full of vitality and stretching
all the muscles. In a little while the
blood tingles and she Is in that glow that
TO weight of covering will induce. The
really athletic girl regards the great fur
coat and all such accessories to warmth
as so many humiliating admissions of d
lack of vitality. She claims that correct
dressing allows a genuine circulation of
air against the body aud that this air
should not be very much higher in tenn
perature than the outside air.
Other sorts of girls should be careful
about adopting these ideas all at once

That stock of toys that admiring friends

taxed to find new amusements for the

reiteration of the old. One little boy of
