ALOnesOme Court.

For some time past tho police court
Of this city has been well attended and
The performances have boon entertain
tanning, though varied in its character
by the variety of its actors. There Is
ludicrous side of these molly crowds,
though the tales they tell would make
q tender heart or one unused to such
scenes, weep for the woes of the mis-
cradle wretches who bring their dist
patcd weals to this market, for which
they rcccive-not aims but a penalty
and often Imprisonment. To hu-
nanitarian the empty hall this morn
, 'ng would have been a glad sight, COM
paratively speaking. There was only
one plain drunk, and man for carry
ing pistol. But the court
looked lonesome; Carter the calaboose
man, wore a disconsolatc smile, the
chief hung his head, the police
dropped out one by one, and the Kadi
pulled vigorously at the stump of a
cigar and sought his studio, the re-
porter fingered for brief space OF
time and thought of the wretchedness
that had been dragged out of the poor
devils in self-defcnse or apologies for
the crimes committed, and then slowly
and meditatively walked out into the
fresh air and awokc TO the fact that he
was several items poorer than he
ought to be at that time of day and
wondered if this thing was going to
last long.

STYLE i'm Walking.

What bothers society ladies more
than anything else is 10 keep up with
the fashions in walking. One season a
lady will be expected to adopt a win
ming gait. AT another time swinging
strides will be the style. The slow
walk and the rapid pace alternate in
popularity. Nothing lasts long. II
fashion DEGREES that a woman must
make herself perambulating convul-
sion of millinery and dry goods. it is
all right. The style must have its run.

Douglas County Chronicle: The con.
v~ention OF the third legislative district
which closed its labors last night was in
some respects o remarkable one. The
candidates went before the convention
on q tie vote, and after remaining in
session three days, and the greater part
Of three nights, and casting 355 ballots.
no change was effected. Immediately
after convening on last evening, the
friends of MIR. Jones and MIR. Seaman.
proposed to the opposite side that tLey
would withdraw either of their candi.
dates according to the choice Of the
friends of Messrs. Bogart and LeCooo,
as a compromise. Mr. Bogart had been
warmly supported, and was a townsman
of Major Dollard, whose services for
Douglas county in Its darkest times,
the people have not forgotten, In
recognition of this fact Mr.. LeCocq
generously resigned the field to MIR. Bo.
CART, after receiving the complimentary
vote and hearty thanks Of the conven-
ton, and Messrs Boaart and jones were
at once unanimously nominated amidst
| the widest enthusiasm.

That Ensle Business.

Pierre Free Press: The Free Press
referred last week to the appointment
by Gov. Pierce Of Geo. s. Engle. Of
Aberdeen, as attorney general. Mr..
Engle is one of the most bitter demo
cratic partisans in Dakota, and 1t seems
strange that a republican ~ governor
would SO cater to the desire of the ad-
ministration as to make the appoint
ment, but the republicans have long
since learned enough to class Gov. Pierce
with the democrats, and no action OF his
in that direction need surprise anybody.
Madison Leader: From general APP
pearanee it would seem that our GOV
ernor, Gil Pierce, is slightly tainted
with mugwump OF the head and hand,
but let us h,pe not of the heart.
Sanborn County Leader: Since Gov.
Pierce returned from Warrington and
appointed Geo. s. Engle, o democrat,
attorney general for Dakota, il. is
generally considered the appointment
was dictated by Grover.
Alexandria Advocate: By appoint
ing a democrat attorney general, Gov.
P.erce must expect to preserve his
official scalp q little while longer. He is

over Many a Lsneue

Spreads the miasma, or poisonous vspor, that
begets malarial ard typhus fever. Wherever
there is stagnant water in which vegetation,
or refuse of any kind decays, there, as surely
as the sun rises, are generated the seeds of
fever and ague, dumb ague. and other endemic
maladies of the malarial type. For the effects
of this eavenomed air, Hostettsr's Stomach
Bitters furnishes an antidote, and prevents
both the contraction and recurrence of such
maladies. Even along the line of excavation
for the Lesseps Panama Canal, where malarisl
diseases are not only v~irulent but deadly,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has demonstrated
its incompatible protective qualities. Not
only for febrile complaints, but also for dis
orders of the stomach, liver and bowels, for
bladder, it is very effective. 1t counteracts
the effects of fatigue, damp and exposure.
