Much of the 1s bought in by others than at reduced prices, and some of the purchasers have disposed titles. Others have paid up equent taxes, and will have to their money back the best way ey can. The property will all go back to where it was before thé law was d, leaving the full taxes for of the years when taxes were highest piled on it. It will have to be redeemed at priyate sale from the county auditor for the full faxes, pen- allies and costs.

State Exchanges Some of Its Equlp-| 4 Respectable Black Hills Man Is ment With Government. The cadet corps of Pillsbury acad- emy at Owatonna has been relieved of its arms by the state and the rifles, which have been in use there for years, have been received by the state mili- tary storekeeper. They are to be sent to the federal authorities and will be excharged for new Springfield rifles, 45-caliber, which will be used by the national guard. The law which makes the exchange possible is an almost for- gotten act which was passed for the purpose of assisting the equipment of state militia. It was designed to fur- nish a way by which the various states cculd exchange their old Civil war equipment for modern arms with- out experse. The rifles taken from the Pillsbury cadet corps are obsolete En- field rifles, many of which saw ser- vice during the rebellion. They are of no further use to any one, and many of them have not been fired for a dec- ade. They were loaned the school more than ten years ago by the state. The government insists on the return of old equipment before new is fur- nished and the rifles turned in will furnish a reserve supply for the guard. MAY HAVE TO RETURN MONEY. Cffeet of Supreme Court Decision on Railway Taxes. The decision of the United States su- preme court in declaring the Anderson law unconstitutional, which provided for es on unused railroad lands, has caused trouble for the state audi- tor. The question whether the state is obliged to return the taxes paid in- before the case was decided has arisen. Several inquiries have been made to Auditor Durn and he has been unable to reply. If the state does not secure a rehearing before the supreme court of the United States, the effect of the decision will be the same as if the law | had never been passed. On this sup- ition the state auditor and others inclined to believe that the state must return the tax money. If the case is contested farther, the te auditor and the county auditors who have received taxes on unused lands will wait, hoping that the state may finally win. State Auditor Dunn said that the amount paid in by the railroads under the Anderson law is very small in com- parison with the usual railroad taxes, although it represents a substantial sum. As the taxes were paid to coun- ty auditors, Mr. Dunn has no means of knowing the exact amount. SWEDISH LUTHERANS TO MEET. Stillwater Will Entertain the Min- nesota Conference. The Minnesota conference of the Swedish Lutheran church will meet in Stillwater Feb. 19 for a session of a week, There will be about 250 dele- gates in attendance, of whom 150 will be ministers.

Not more than half the furniture and necessary fixtures to enable the school to be conducted properly has yet ar- rived on the ground. Prof. Scoville has succeeded in unwinding a large amount of the red tape with which the government surrounds matters of this kind, and states that the school will be opened the first week in. Jan- uary, or at latest during the third week. During the interim the profes- sor bears his lot in patience and with- holds his wrath. ¥ Dates for Farmers’ Institutes, Assistant Superintendent J.C.

Wil- son, a traveling salesman, was held at Vermillion, 8. D. He is charged with adultery by Geo. Doyl of Elk Point the woman in question being Doly’s wife. Wilson was bound over to the circuit court. The incident which: brought about the arrest occurred Saturday night, when Mrs. Doyl arrived from Elk Point and secured rooms at the Cottage hotel, a respectable boarding house of Vermillion, On the same evening Wilson, who hails from Chica- go, arrived, and was given a room at the same house. Sunday afternoon Doyl appeared upon the scene. The matter was settled for the time being, and Doyl and his wife returned to Elk. Point. Later, Doyl returned, found Wilson and had him arrested and put in the county jail. Once more the hus- band and salesman effected a settle- ment, and a release was demanded. This time it was sent to State’s Attor- ney Kelsey, who put a restriction upon the proceedings, holding that the crime committed did not warrant a release, simply because the husband and Wil- son requested it. And, in «order that Doyl would not skip out and fail to appear as a witness, he, too, was put in jail over night. At the preliminary trial both were in a poor frame of mind for imparting any knowledge, but enough was known to carry the case on. Both were held in sufficient bonds to warrant their appearance in April. Wilson claims: to be a married man. TOWER’S NARROW ESCAPE. The Town Escapes, but the Fire Loss Will Reach $130,000. Duluth, Minn., Dec. 12.—The village of Tower, on the Duluth & Iron Range road, had a narrow escape from total destruction by fire.

One day, the story goes, when the house was filled with oratory, a volley of explosions came from Tait’s room, followed by smoke and unearthly smells. The lessons in oratory were suspended, and every one in the house collected to see what the trouble was. Mr. Tait, with unmoved countenance, said to the landlord: “As there Seems to be no restraint on the nature of the studies pursued in these lodgings, I have begun a series of experiments in high explosives, from which I expect to draw much advant- age.” The elocutionist ceased.—Argonaut.

The Election and the Market. . There were signs of improved busi- ness before the election in the iron and steel imdustries, and cautious efforts were made to increase prices, but en- terprise generally held back its orders to await political results. No doubt seems to be felt that there will now be @ speedy adjustment to more favorable conditions, and that a fresh impulse will be given to business in many lines. It is certain that the assurance that the money standard is in no dan- ger of being tampered with and that the foundations of credit are safe will have a salutary effect; but there will be no “boom,” and the prospect is all the better for that. A period of specu- lation and expansion of credit in new undertakings would be a misfortune, and, happily, there is no sign of it, notwithstanding the jubilant yells of the Stock Exchange at the passing of the Bryan cloud. We went through that stage a year ago, and have been fortunate enough to have only a mild and prolonged reaction, which was helped by the political campaign. There is little danger that the strain will be repeated in a more intense form. —Harper’s Weekly. Some articles must be described: White’s Yucatan needs no description; it’s the real thing.
