EDITOR ALERr:-in your Thursday i,
sue you call the attention Of the authorl-
ties TO the subject Of gaming In our
m,dst This is subject that has been
under consideration by both thu county
and city authorities for seyera. months
past, aud the only reason that measures
have not been taken to stop it arise from
the fact that the laws Of the territory of
Dakota give hardly any power to tasten
crime on offenders of this class, and il is,
and would be, under any ordinance the
city could make IN accordance with the
laws Of Dakota, a difficult matter to con-
vict, especially gambling, run on the
"still hunt plan. was further much
pleased to see by this mornings issue tho
interest y.u have awakened in this mat
ter. and think that now we have the
right man in the right place--somebody
that knows something about it. Yonr
.sCom.n writes TO the public with such
force and good sense in the matter that l
feel almost certain he can supply ns with
the missing link, and give us wha, We
have hitherto never teen able to some
evidence with names and facts. Parties
have frequently informed me that gam
bling was going on at such and such .

4 Citizens View

EDITOR ALERT:--I in common with
many othe am glad that you bave seen
fit IN your wisdom to call the attenti IN of
the public to the rumors afloat concern
ing some gaming practices said to be car
RED on under cover in our city. 1t has
heen the boast of our leading cizens that
we were comparatively free from gamb-
ling houses and other dens Of vice, but re.
cent developments well known have
shown that such practices exist among us
to such an extent that young men and
even some older ones arc being financial
" and morally ruined, and it is time that
. peremptory halt be called. You have
The commentator OF NIL worthy citizens
for having taken the initiative in this
matter. To come to the rescue Of those
who arc imperilled by the fascinations o.
gaming ls noble work, and the remon-
strances of the press cannot fail to have
weighty influence upon those who
spread the net, for they Will marshall
public sentiment in such force as to over
whelm them. 1t is commonly reported
that large sums have been lost recently
by young men, and threats OF prosecution
lave been freely made. 1t is to be hoped
that no prosecution will be found necessa-
ry, hn, that the revelation already made
will prove sufficient to cause the cessa-
tion of tine practice where they are now
known to exist and prevention Of them
elsewhere. 1t is authoritatively stated
that the attention Of the mayor and city
council will be called to the matter Mt an
early day by individual citizens who have
interest at stake, and if so, no doubt the
stringent laws against gambling now on
the statute book will be enforced; for the
gentlemen making up that body when
sustained by the press and strong pub
lie sentiment, we have reason to believe,
will not fail to do their whole duty. They
are neither gamblers nor abettors Of gamb-
ling. If the gentle persuasions of courte
ous remonstrance will not avail to stem
the rising tide let the stern vigor of the
law he invoked. Con-.

THE WEEKLY ALERT.
j. g. WARN0CK, EDITOR.
' WORD FROM THE MAYOR.

EDITOR DAILY A1ERT:--I have noticed
in the two last issues Of the alert, arti.
cles concerning gambling IN our city l
freely endorse each in the sentiments ex.
pressed, and am IN full sympathy with
every effort to suppress it in all its fo'ms.
The writer OF the second article states
that the subject will be presented TO the
mayor and city council. and that they
being sustained by the press and public
sentiment, will no doubt do their duty.
1t might naturally be inferred from the
above that the mayor and council were
lncognizant of wrong and required the
gore of public sentiment and the press IN
order to discharge their duties In this
connection allow me to say that there is
no city ordinance prohibiting gambling at
the present time. The mayor and coun
Gil have all along recognized the necessi-
~ and importance of one, but other mat.
tiers, perhaps less important, have occupied
the attention Of the council to the exclu-
sion of this am happy to say however,
will be introduced at the next regular
meeting and without doubt passed at the
next subsequent meeting. twill be seen
the executive department of the city has
no prescribed authority in the premises
and can only exercise the same privileges
as are accorded to every citizen. The
only remedy to suppress gambling at pres
ent is that provided by statutes over which
the authority Of the city does not preside.
Policemen it Is true arc authorized to
serve warrants and make arrests for terri
toTial offenses, and IN their behalf will
say that they are willing and ready at all
times to do their duty when complaints
are made and warrants put in their hands.
Otherwise, they overstep the duties they
are sworn to perform.
Respectfully Yours,

Sunday School Work in Dakota.

4 meeting of the Executive committee
of the Dakota Sunday School association
was held in Huron, OAK, on the after
noon and evening of Thursday, Feb. q,
1884. Six out Of thirteen members OF the
committee, from different parts Of the
Territory, were present, and plans for
future work were very thoroughly dis
cussed 1t was decided to have spring
campaign of conventions, during which
Sunday school meetings will be held at
Parker, Mitchell, chamberlain, Yankton,
Elk Point and other places. These con-
ventlons are TO be under the charge of a
SUBJ committee, consisting OF Rev. }. L.
Currens, Rev. ". B. Hubbard and Rev.
G. +. Clapp.
The question of finance received careful
attention, and was referred TO committee
consisting to Messrs. Marple, Grant and
Lindsay, to report at the next Territorial
convention. Of the $500 pledged at
Mitchell last June. but little over 500
haye been paid into the treasury. The
committee earnestly hope that these
amounts will be forwarded to the treasurer
as soon as possible.
The subject Of the next Territorial con-
vention was then taken up. ''DakOta for
Chris,' was selected as the central thought
Of the programme, and the chairman,
Rev. ". S. Bell, was appointed to ar
range the programme and secure spe akers
for the various topics. 1t was voted Ut
posslble) to secure the services of MIR.
VIM. Reynolds, of Peoria, Ills, and Miss
Lucy j. Rider, Of Chicago, for that con-
vention.
The next vii! be the tenth annual con-
ventlon, and it will be held In the city Of
Huron, June 3-5, 1884.
The questions of more thorough organ
ization and better reports were also dis
cussed, and after pretracted but very
harmonious session the committee ad-
iourned few minutes before IL O'Clock
midnight TO meet at Huron at 3 O'Clock

The sleighs were drawn by two horses,
however, but the bells rang out never
more cheerily than last night between the
city and the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodrich. The clearest of skies encom-
passed, and the freshest Of breezes blew.
A half dozen generous. bottomed bob
slelghs, full to overflowing with happy
individuals, wound their way out Of the
slumbering valley and across the snowy

myriad bells to keep accompaniment to
the ringing laughter and happy song Of

The guests were ushered into the wide

hands Of the handsome hostess. Mrs
Goodrich. 1t consisted Of oysters, cake
in almost endless variety, coffee and
fruits: and was the most happy surprise
Of the evening. At the table twenty-five
cents were taken from each member OF
the party. After supper an hour was
spent in various happy ways, and the
party broke up and started ON their pleas.

verdict is that Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich
royalty entertained the party, and every
body present will pleasantly anticipate
the time when their visit may he repeat

and the number would have been twice
as great but for the threatening aspect Of

Dakota the Place.

A Dickey county correspondent Of the
Jamestown, N. Y. Journal, writes the
following: "There have been some pretty
tall descriptions given Of this territory,
yet, notwithstanding, no person can
gainsay but Dakota IS grand good coun
try for tillers Of the soil, and a greater
opening for hard working, industrious
farmers cannot be found on this Conti-
nent. The soil is rich, very rich, and
produces good crops. 1t requires no ma
nures or other fertilizers. a country that
five years ago had population hardly
sufficient to make Il town, has now in
creased to over 100000. Railroads run
in every direction. Villages have sprung
up here, there and everywhere, with good
churches and good society Over three
million acres Of land were taken up du-
ring the past year, which will give an
idea how the settlers are pouring into this
country. The towns on the line Of the
New York Central railway have sent
their quota of good and true men who,
from all appearances are well pleased and
doing as well as can be expected. Butn no
one should come to Dakota expecting
that every grain of wheat they pick up
will be turned, like magic, into lump of
gold, for if tLey do they will be much
mistaken. Every man who comes 10 Da-
kota mus. expect TO learn his bread by
the sweat of his brow and with hard
work, close economy and contented
mind it is, very evident that IN five years
a young man can be far better of in Ia
any of the eastern states. The first two
years are years of privation to the settler,
especially during the winter months.
