COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Neither Platte or Geddss VIII Gain Any
ADVANTAGE Over Other.

Pierre. 5. D., Sept. l5.-In tie SUI
preme court decisions by Chief Justice
Haney We're handed down in the fol-
lowing cases:
State of South Dakota ex rel. T. An
drews VS.. board OF county commissions
ers of Charles Mix county, appellants;
affirmed.
State of South Dakota ex rel. j. w.
Lindsay rs. the board of county COM
missioners of Charles Mix county APP
pellants; dismissed.
These two cases are in regard to the
county seat contest in that county, and
in effect put the costs in one case on
the adherents of one town n in the
other upon the adherents of the other,
in the fight on the part of Platte and
Geddes to nov the county seat from
Wheeler. The decision gives no adj
vantage to either place, and practically
leaves them at the point they started
from.

General Kuropatkin's complaint that
his men are too old calls attention to
the fact that the Russian system tends
to place rather old men with the colors
in war time. The liability for service
extends from the twenty-irst to the
forty-third year The first four years
r spent with the colors, and the CON
script is then a reservist for fourteen
years. 1t is quite likely, therefore.
that Kuropatkin has received many re-
servists OF about thirty-nine years OF
age. Japan's service age is from seven
teen to forty.

hand over his command. TO make the
