m rtilty shows the best bill Of health 10
be found this side of the Alps. Yet
there seems to be need of doctors, as
there is a demand for lawyers and other
necessary evils or Aon-producers. Tbir-
ly of the Saw-bones hang out their signs
right here in Bismarck, and if they in
crease as does the population, next year
we shall have thirty additional Of
lawyers there are any number but they
are generally engaged in the real-estate
business ns n side issue, and all of them
are getting rich. Many of the best and
shrewiest of the cloth who resided at
Yankton have removed here, anticipating
in these green fields and pastures new
better returns and fatter fees in tx-
change for making the worse appear the
better cause.
One of the first settlers in the vicinity
of Bismarck was clergyman of the Uni
yersalist denomination, who had retired
from the pulpit, and practically from re-
ligion also. He went into the real es-
tate business made money so fast that
he didn't know what to do with 1t; and
now, after gathering in his shekels by
the millions, he renounces again the
world, the flesh, and the other fellow,
and has gone to preaching again. The
scripture that remarks something about
u fellows inability to serve two masters
ezempts this ministerial Shylock from
its operations. Lots in the principal
business thoroughfare in Bismarck were
held at what might be called fabulous
figures so long ago as 1879, but what
would poor devil who desired bust
ness corner think now if be should drop
in and be informed that $500 front foot
is the lowest possible figure, and The
owner would rather keep it for rise
anyhow? This is a tri1e higher than a
corner lot on Clark street in Chicago is
held; but while it doesn't prove conclus-
lively that Bismarck is the largest city, it
does prove conclusively that the real-es-
tate mania in our newly-built Western
cities develops some most unconscionable
fools.
What is wanted here. and l may say is
the great crying demand in all the larger
towns and villages IN Dakota, is some
thing approximatingt to a first class hotel
Not an ornate building with elaborate
fucades aud filagree pilasters, and that
sort of thing, but place where one Can

A FINE ARTIST.

There is no question as to the merits of
J. c. Rasmussen as u photographer of
rare genius. He has always held a
front rank in his profession, and his latest
step toward prominence is the great
success he met with at the Davenport
fair, where his work received the first
premium. The victory is all the more
fiattering to Mr.. Rasmussen from the fact
that besides the many fine artists in
Davenport who exhibited their work,
there were several fine specimens dis
played which came from leading galleries
in Germany Mr.. Rasmussen is young
man, and the present high position he
holds as photographer is due to hard
work and perseverance. He has splen-
did business in Rock Island, which is
rapidly increasing. The August number
of The Photographic Bureau, of Chicago,
contains the following in regard TO our
popular photographer:
During the past week we stepped into
Mr.. Rasmussen's gallery in Rock Island,
and the examples of posing and scenic

GONE WRONG.

PEORIA, H., Sept. 3.-The rcigning
sensation here at present is the dcfalcation
of Alva Loucks, states attorney. 1t had
been generally known for long time
that he was short in his accounts as an
official but the matter was kept as quiet
as possible, and was not given publicity
until it became known that he had been
appropriating moneys given him by
clients for investment. His first victim
was Jacob MeHdleson, a peddler. who
could not read nor write, who gave him
$4,000. Loucks invested $500 of this
in property and spent the rest, giving
Mendleson forged notes for security.
Gallagher & Levinson, attorneys, got
hold of the matter and finally secured
Loucks' arrest for forgery. He con-
fessed everything TO the attorneys, hut
said that he would make everything good
through his father law, and was re,
leased with that understanding, but in
stead of doing so he prepared for flight
and is now wanderer and an outcast
Additional developments to, day show that
this is not the only case of appropriating
private funds but that he has been in the
habit of getting money from parties to
loan, forging all signatures to notes and
papers. As states attorney he has kept
his bondsmen in hot water ever since his
election, and has had to furnish new bonds
twice. He is short in his accounts with
the county about $4,000, and his total
ENLIGHTENMENT of public and private funds
approaches $4,000. This entire sum
was lost at poker, in which it is known
several prominent citizens were the win
ners; at faro, both here and in Chicago,
and upon fast women. Loucks was a
promising young man, highly connected,
and started out in life with brilliant pros
poets before him.

evening was about as large as on the Sun
day evening preceding. when every seat
was occupied. The meeting was an
nounced for the purpose of seeing what
could be done towards suppressing what
is deemed Sunday dissertation and en-
forcement of fife city ordinances After
some music. prayer was offered by Rev.
j. c. Holiday. DIR. Joseph Mckee occu-

he illustrated that the physical condition
of man demanded one days rest in seven.

and with bow and smirk,
commenced Il harangue that lasted for
over an hour Why he was permitted to
thrust himself upon the meeting, we have
not learned He made himself ridiculous
and showed his personal animosity by
attacking Mayor Mott, and former dem
ocratic mayor Extensively The present
mayor refused to reappoint Danforth as {
member of the library board. hence hi:
malicious attack. But the idea of "A gar
gulous old fellow like Danforth teaching

which the records of our court show
he has been indicted himself. Fol-
over quarter CT century his career il

pretty fellow to attempt to teach on
people morality. He tired out and dis
gustcd everybody by his longwinded
and prosy talk, even the little boys in thu
gallery made fun of him.
/ By the time Danforth had concu ded, i
was so late that Mr.. William Jackson
who had been announced to make thu
address, was compelled to narrow his re
marks down to a few wOfds, and thus tn
audience was cheated out of an able ad
dress by this man Danforth, who forcet
himself on the meeting for the sole pur-
pose of abusing Mayor Mott.
If the friends of the cause ever expect Il
achieve any good results from their labors
they should not let such hypocritical mel
as Danforth be a prominent factor in tn
