Before the Judge.

This morning IN aged colored man.
named William Mathews, was before
Judge Cummins charged with being
drunk and disorderly last night.
Judge Cummins said, "you are
charged with being drunk and disorder.
ly, are you guilty or not guilty?"
"drunk, and disorderly," repeated the
prisoner, very slowly, "oh my Cd; I
wasn't drunk nor disorderly l only
had one drink, but am subject to crazy
spells, and then people think I'm
drunk" .y.r'..
A colored woman testified that vii.
liam was on the rampage last evening,
and was searching for knife or razor
to kill all in the house, when they sent
for officer Andrew Moore and had him
locked up. After the witness closed,
the Judge asked him If he had an ythlng
to say, when he addressed him.
self to the woman who had testi.
fed against him, and said Rachel, IL
you want to do me any good in this
world send me my clothes when I 60
away, and then we'll meet in yander
world before q greater Judge"
Jndge Cummins imposed q fine of So
and costs, and when William realized
the extent of the penalty, he fairly
jumped up and exclaimed: "My Lord,
Judge, don't do that, IS and costs, oh
my G-d." and was led out Of the dock
bemoaning his sad fate.

SHOW Meat.

The display of show meat this year
was not as fine as usual, although som 9
few of the butchers had some very ex.
cellent beef, mutton and pork on their
stalls. For some reason there does not
seem to be the same amount of interest
taken as has been the custom in pre-
vious years, and when this was re-
marked to q well.known butcher in the
Second street market he replied ''No;
neither are times what they used to be-
There are too many men out of work,
and people seem to think they can do
without show beef"
This appeared to be the general feel
ing among the majority In all the mar
ket houses, and the usual preparations
were conspicuous only by their alb
seuce. Still 1t is possible that those
having the means and desire to purchase
show meat will not be disappointed, as
there are some few butchers in each
market that have az fine meat as was
ever brought to this market, and yes
terday afternoon they were busy in ar
ranging and decorating their stalls, in
accordance with The time honored Gus

fed with their lot, and yet they maven
the backbone to launch out into new
country. When winter comes they say,
I. / am going to pack up and start west
in the spring." but when the spring
comes they are not quite ready, and
they labor on in the same old rut for
another year and then they are going
sure, but another spring finds them no
nearer going west nor any better OFF in
u financial way than they were year
ago. If that class of people, who can be
found by the thousands in the east.
would only arouse themselves to their
senses next spring and come to Dakota
we will guarantee that they will never
regret it. If there is man in Dakota
to-day, who regrets having come here,
that man is a crank or a fool, and would
make a failure wherever he is. We ad-
nit there are few of that kind here.
We occasionally see 4 man who curses
Dakota and wishes himself back cast,
but if you make inquiries you will find
that he never amounted to anything
when home and was as dissatisfied
when there as here. But that class Da-
kota has no use for and we advise them
before they start to stay where they
are, for they will have more sympathy
at home than they will here. Dakota
wants wide-awake men, young men and
boys, who will grasp things. She don't
claim, although wonderful country,
that she manufactures men and oppor-
tunlties both, The former is left for
the mothers to do. If they have sons
who are fools or cranks they will be
hardly more successful here than at
home, but what Dakota is looking for
is the bright boys, the boys with push
and energy, the boys who are willing
to face fate to win for fortune" and
who never say ''now We are glad to
know She is getting just that kind of
boys, and it Is they who are going to
make Dakota a great state.

The happiest people IN the world are

He came here without anything and

well fixed thnt he can breathe an air of
freedom and relief, There are many in
the east who boast of living in the
grandest couatry in the world and rul-
der republican government, and yet
they never knew what it is to be inde-
pendent. and never will. They are
working for others. They are dissatis-
