FARGO, Oak. Jan. IA case which
excited considerable interest some
weeks ago came 10 the front in the dis
trict court TO-DAY. 1t was the ease of
the Territory vs.. sidney II. smith, who
was indicted by the grand jury and
convicted for selling liquor without d
license. Smith was secretary and
treasurer Of what was known as the
Tower City social Club, an organiza-
ton OF 900 members in a village Of 800
which seems to have had
for its purpose The evasion Of the ter
ritorial license law. Tower City being
4 local option town the existence Of
bar-rooms was not tolerated, but the
members of the club by paying a fee of
81 at certain intervals were entitled to
all liquor they desired. and defendant
Smith supplying them with it. The
Of the club are composed of
many travelling men and others having
frequent occasion to visit Tower City.
Today Judge Mcdonnell sentenced
Smith to pay fine of 500 and to thirty
days imprisonment in the county jail.

ty Dak0ta:
DEAR SIR Yours of the IL inst. is
received, stating that the township
school board of Cooper school township,
Aurora county had purchased lightning
rods for five schOolhouses in said town
ship, in one OF which houses no school
has been taught for year past: that
the township is in debt and cannot pay
its teachers; and that the schoolhouses
are not supplied with maps, charts and
necessary buildings, and asking ad-
vice in the matter
In reply, you are advised that the pur-
chase Of lightning rods torpublic school
houses. especially under the circum-
stances described, is without authority
OF law and Il nlisappropriation Of funds:
and, the contract for the payment of
money for the purpose named cannot
be enforced.
If the officers OF Cooper school town
ship have already used the school funds
to pay f0r the lightning rods for which
the contract was made they should be
required to return the money to the
treasury, or suffer the penalty for the
misappropriatior. This question has
been clearly determined by the courts
and should not be misunderstood.
Very Respectfully Yours,

The Language of Umbrellas.

| There is a language of umbrellas as
we'll as flowers. For instance, place AN
umbrella in rack and it will Indicate
that it will change owners. To open it
quickly in the street means that some-
body s eyes are going TO be put out; to
shut it that a hat or two is going to be
knocked off. An umbrella carried over
woman, when the man is getting
nothing but the drippings of the rain,
signifies courting. When the man has
the umbrella anu the woman the drip
pings il indicates marriage. To punch
your umbrella into person and then
open il means II dislike you" To
swing your umbrella over your shoul-
! der signifies Il am making nuisance
of myself To trail your umbrella
along the foot-path means that the man
behind you is thirs;ing for your blood.
To carry y0urIimbrella in a case signi-
lies il is a shabby one. To carry it at
right angles under your arm signifies
exchange is no robbery To pur-
chase an umbrella means II am not
smart, but honest" To lend an UNI
brclla indicates II am fool" To re-
turn an umbrella means-welI never
mind what it means, nobody ever does
that. To turn an umbrella in gust Of
wind presages profanity. To carry an
umbrella just high enough to tear out
mems eyes aud knock off their hats,
signifies l am woman. 10 press an
umbrella on your friend, saying 10 do
take it; had much rather you would
than not" signifies lying. To give
yourfriend half of your umbrella means
that both OF you will get wet. To car
ry it home in the morning means that
it will clear off.r--Nep Origins States.

OFFICE SUIT. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
OLIyET, OAK, Dec 81, 1856.
10 County SUperintendents and County
Officers:
A misunderstanding seems to exist
in regard to the force of section 30 Of
the township school law and section 10
OF the amendments approved March y.
1855, and The following instructions are
accordingly given for the government
OF those CONCERNED IN tine execution Oi
the law
1sf. The school laws provide for The
collection of complete statistics of
school work each year. and i'll orner TO
accomplish this it is made the duty Of
township treasurers and clerks to make
full, true and correct reports, to the
proper officers, on or before the times
specified. viz: the treasurer on Or be-
fore the fifteenth day of July, and the
clerk on or before the first day Of Au-
gust. 1t is important that these reports
be made as required by law and that
they should be complete. To do this
work thoroughly and well, requires that
some time be given to it and that no
other matters shall interfere with this
special duty. Should these officers do
their work faithfully, and the reports
be found by the board of county com
missioners to be correct. the commits
sioners are required by section 80 Of the
school law to approve them and pay
each officer not less than ten ,lO.) and
net more than twenty-five (25,) dollars,
as a compensation for making such re-
port. If the reports are not made as
required 10y law the commissioners are
not authorized 10 pay anything to these
officers. In other words, the compensa-
ton is for correct report, made ac-'
cording TO law, and for no other duty.
The county commissioners have moth
ing whatever to do with paying mem-
bers Of the school board for services
connected with their general duties. and
in counties not working under the
township system the county commits
sioners do not examine the reports re-
ferred to, nor do tllfy pay the school Of
hcers for making thSin.
End. Section 10 Of the amendments of
1885, approved March l3, provides that
the school bofrds Of school townships
may pay their members at the rate Of
~ dollars per day for services actually
rendered. in the performance of their
general duties; but, no officer must be
paid for more than tifteen days services
in any one year at this rate. II is not
in the nature of q yearly salary. An
itemized bill, or vouched, should be
filed in each case, showing specifically
what SERVICES have been rendered by
the member to be paid, and the times
Fat which they rendered. These vouch-
ers he carefully preserved with the other
records Of tho hoard. In no case can
the board allow a member more than
thirty 1907 dollars during any one year,
for services rendered. Should he de-
vote more than fifteen days to school
work the extra labor must be considered
and treated rs gratuitous though, the

The Dog Did Not Count seven,


It is one thing to think by resem-
blanoes and another thing to think by
symbols. A story was recently published
by N. Dhbuc of pointer which had
learned after few years that its master
went hunting every Sunday, while on
the other days he went to business; and
NJ. Dubuc concluded that the animal had
learned 10 count up to seven.
The conclusion Is not legitimate; it
may even be said to be wrong. The dog
distinguished Sunday by some features
that were peculiar to it-by the move
ments about the house, the behavior and
Sunday dress of the servants, the dress of
the mastes, or any one OF more of number
Of things that make Sunday different
from other days of the week; but we
may say without contradiction that it
did not count seven. We, our
selves, il we were restricted
to a life absolutely uniform, would
not be able to distinguish the seventh
day without mnemotechnic aids, and Is
a rule we seldom recollect the day OF
the date except by the assistance of in.

THERE is much philosophy in the
words OF great men who have achieved
distinction and yet condemn the efforts
of others after fame. Thus Longfellow,
who wrote himself famous, says: "1t
is the part of an indiscreet and trouble
some ambition to care too much about
fame--about what the world says of
us-to be always looking into the faces
of others for approval to be always
anxious for the effect Of what we do and
say; to be always shouting to hear the
echo of our voices. If you look about
you, you will gee men who are wear
ing life away in feverish anxiety OF
fame and the last we shall hear OF
them will be the funeral-bell that tolls
them to their early graves. n

New York Tobacco Market.
FOR WEEK ENDING SEPT. 10.

There isn't much to say this week
about this particular market. Buyers
of all kinds have been boxing around,
and offers have been made that have
not been accepted. The reported sales
were 300 hogsheads, 200 Of which for
export. The inquiry seemed to run in
the direction of small lots OF desirable
new goods. A better demand soon is
expected by those who remember that
the brisk season was late in coming last
year.
A Trigg county gentleman now in
town, in speaking of the 1886 heavy
yield, said to u.s.
In some sections the crop looks fine,
in others 1t is small and late, and in the
latter promises to make very little
useful tobacco and small yield. The
crop is spotted-that is, some is fine
and some is not good. The seasons
were never more partial than this
year. The prospect is favorable for a
sound leafy crop where they have had
rains, but elsewhere, in the dry Sec
tons, it will be small, dirty and luggy.
There is no trouble from worms this
year. 1t looks now if. the crop would
turn outa fair average one in the IA
vored sections, and that there will be
as whole less quantity of the lower
grades than last year, or for long
