Selling Building Land.

The spring sales of state building
lands are now being made and the
offerings will continue until the end of
the month. Commissioner Dokken,
with his official force, is out on the
work and made the first offerings in
in Hyde county, where 1900 acres were
sold at an average of $1,000 an acre.
1t appears to be the policy of local real
estate dealers to discourage these sales
as much as possible, while, as a matter
of fact, the acreage af capitol lands in
most of the counties is small, but offer
lngs of it will keep coming right along
until all is disposed of, and the sooner
the real estate men geti out of the
way the shorter time they will have to
meet this-which they appear to look
upon as competition.

Zeal estate men express satisfaction
over the discontinuance of the free
transportation practice which obtained
among the members of the profession
so many years. The custom was, be-
fore the railroads considered them
selves injured by what they termed tad
verse legislation," that the real estate
man would scatter free transport ton
among his prospective customers, bring
them to his Office free of any expense
to them and then take them to look
over the lands he had for sale. The
result was that many men were espong.
ers," did not buy and had no intention
of buying when they left home. Now
adays the prospective buyer has to pay
his own fare and he generally comes to
Dakota to buy, it the land suits him.
The result is that less men come but
more sales are made. The action Of
the railroads has had a saIutary effect

Is Legally Dead,

Ii that negro Texan wife murderer
did really survive being hanged, as the
press correspondent declare, he will
lind himself in most embarrassing
position. He is legally dead, if not
actually, and it he had any property it
now belongs to his heirs and he cannot
touch a cent of it. He cannot collect
anything that WAS due him before his
taking off" nor can he be sued for any
debt he had incurred. He cannot sign
any deed and any receipt he might give
would have no validity. lit had been
an outsider instead of his wife that he
killed, his wife would now be a widow
with a living husband, and he could
not be entitled to protest against her
marrying whomsoeyers she pleased He
could not appeal to the law, for he
has no existence before the law. He
would be, like one of those much de-
tested corporations, body without
soul. The fact that he is legally dead
would not, however, protect him from
punishment for any otfense he may
commit hereafter, although it would

And loved her, yes, loved her
With a heart twas fond and true,
Oh, | asked her would she wed me,
Would she deign my life to bless,
And waited for her answer,
Praying for a murmured "Y es."

Aud my heart gave throbs of pleasure
For | thought I'd won the prize
This her answer, as | watched her,
Saw the loving bushes come,
