A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR
4 GOOD INVESTMENT.

Do our capitalists know that rents are
higher in South Dodge. than in North
Dodge? Do you know that the demand
is ten times more than the supply. Two
10 three hundred families viii want
houses by spring, and early summer. 1t
is nothing uncommon for, three TO six
parties i'll day, now seeking houses TO
rent on the South Side. Supply the de-
mand at once.

". All books and papers may be tul-
ly read at the room at any time while
open, by any one complying with the
above rules.
RULES OF LIBRARY.
Every member of the association, and
every other person who presents reason
able assurance of compliance with the
following regulations, will be entitled to
register and borrow for two weeks OF
less any book in the library at time OF
application. but shall be responsible for
the value thereof in case of loss, and for
any serions injury or accident thereto,
and fine of two cents per week for ev
ery week book is detained after the
first two weeks, unless the loan Of the
same be renewed for one week only, and
that all persons whether members of the
association or not shall, upon so taking
book, present certificate signed by
themselves, and one other responsible
resident citizen to secure compliance with
these rules.
The above regulations should have been
adopted sooner, SO that any wishing books
could have secured them from the time
the room was first opened, as was annOuc,
ed, and was the intention, and similar
plans were prepared, ready for that even
ing but as there was some difference OF
opinion as to best methods to adopt fol
loaning books, they were not made use of,
and no books have been loaned, and on
account of so much going on previous to
the holidays, it was difficult to arrange
for meeting to attend to this and other.
items of business But the above rules,
which it has been the effort of the asocia-
ton to make as few and simple as poss-
ible, will be printed IN convenient form,
and pasted IN the books, and one large
copy framed, and hung up in the room
as soon as possible, so that they can be
seen at any time, and as soon as this can
be accomplished books will be loaned.
Several matters were attended
to, among which was the appointing of a
committee to arrange for an appropriate
sign to guide strangers to the room, also
the time for the second semianual elec
ton of officers was appointed for Friday
evening of this week, at the Methodist
church Immediately after prayer service,
at which time each committee will also
read report of the work done during
the last six months. \ few other matters
of minor Importance were also attended
to.
The meeting last Sabbath was conduct
ed by Rev. Donegan, who made some very
appropriate remarks for New Years day,
which if accepted, and acted upon, will
be the means of doing much good.
The meeting next Sabbath will be lead
by Mr.. Il. I. Evans, and We cordially in
vite every one to come and hear him. 4
good meetingis expected.
The association we believe is in a more
fiourishing condition than ever before.
1t began little over year ago. with
very few members, and now has enrolled
over one hundred names, with new addi-
tions most every Sunday. yet we feel
that only beginning has been made, only
step taken compared with what remains
TO be done, and we hope that during the
year which we have just entered upon
much advancement may be made, and
much good accomplished. To this end
may all lend a helping hand

TOOLATE!

The present occupant of the district
attorneys office has lost Il golden on.
portunity. Here is temperance par.
ty starting and he has no capital made
and OH hand by which he can pay for
stock in the new corporation. Why
he has not made himself any standing
us a temperance advocates and an en-
forcer of the local option law, we do
not quite understand, us he had every.
thing to gain and nothing to lose
thereby. Every one knows that he is
such q necessity to the democratic
party that they would have to numi.
nate him, whether or 10. and though
his pacific disposition llasacted as pro.
lection to the saloon men. yet they
have no faith in man who carries
water OH one shoulder and whiskey on
the other; but if he had gone ahead
in his capacity rs an officer of the law
and made an effort to enforce the laws.
he would have gained himself prestige
and votes at the election this fall.
We understand that the county at
torney excuses himself when ap.
preached by temperance men on this
question, hy saying that no complaints
are made. but if any person will COM
plain that he will prosecute. But in
the recent shooting case at Neche, the
evidence is. that the prosecuting at.
torney did exert himself to procure !,
complaint after man had been prac.
tically acquitted by coroner's jury,
and which complaint he WAS so zeal.
ous in getting that the gentleman who
signed the complaint declared in open
court that the county attorney had
misrepresented the nature of the com.
plant to him, and asked the justice tc
withdraw the same. which was accord
ingly done and the defendant dismiss
ed. Again we say, the present county
attorney has lost agoldcn opportunity
a little of the zeal in getting com.
plants, SO unsuccessful in his NecEt
case, if rightly directed against saloon
men, would have given him the tenn
perance party nomination, and tina,
and the democratic nomination, that
is his because Of his gift o'gab, would
have elected him sure. but it is too
late. If lie should start ut work now
it would be too plain Il case of work
ing for the temperance nomination anl

commenced before. Too latc-too late

1t is not probable that the leaders il
this movement have made dclinit,

that theirpurposes are definite enough
They have their eyes particularly fixed
on the Offices of county attorney and

Offices "m their business. Their prin.
cipal difficulty. will be in the selection
of available candidates for these Of
fees and particularly so in the sclcc-
tion of Il candidate for county attor.
ncy. II is safe TO presume they have
no use for the present incumbent. and
the list of other temperance attorneys
is not large. We have heard the l,:;;ne

1t is hard to prophesy at the date

will tend to mix things pretty gen.

and unless MIR. Mcgquier can explain
these matters to their satisfaction,
they will discharge him from further
consideration of all county cases after
January first.
Since writing this editorial OH the
subject of the commissioners rcsolu-
ton, MIR. Megquicr has handed us his
answer. but too late TO change or TO.
write olr article. Intact we do not sec
that his answer materially changes the
main facts at all. The most remark.
able thing, however. is Mr.. Birds two
atlidavits. both just alike only diff.
fcrcnt.' The facts. in spite of Mr..
Mcgpuer's answer, still remain that
willie he was prosecuting the case
against Mr.. Bird, he told him and
others that lie did not believe that the
county would be successful. That
may he the way that Mi. Mcgquicr
does his legal business. but it ism
the WHY that lawyers usually do. and
it isn't apt tn inspire confidence in his
clients.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1888-07-13
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

by the resolution printed in the
commissioners proceedings. it will be
seen that the commissioners have
fired Il heavy charge of bird shot
through the county attorneys record.
Mr.. Megquier will find it difficult to
explain these matters satisfactorily to
the public. The commissioners. at
the outset of the Bird litigation. had
doubts as to the county attorneys
good faith and after consulting among
themselves asked him, first, il he
would prosecute the case. and second,
if lie did act, could he recover for the
county. Raising his hand in dramatic
style, he declared that he would prose.
cute and that there WAS 10 doubt that
he could recover the money claimed.
The result of the litigation was that
though errors of procedure either
though ignorance or purpose tue case
was lost.
In the Argus case the circumstances
were such that there was 10 doubt
that it would have been settled in
favor of the county. And yet by the
county attorneys own explanation to
the commissioners in his own Office. it
went by default against the county.
because lie did not appear at the court
room in time. Just why lie did not
get there in time is u question that
can readily he answered by the public
and we believe was confessed to the
commissioners. The resolution. as it
appears. is badly constructed. 1t prac.
tically condemns the county attorney
for his actions in two eases. though it
actually says, that because he has
done wrong in the Bird case therefore
he is dismissed from the consideration
OF the Argus case. 1t would seem to
us That there were sufficient reasons
i'll each case to dismiss him from the
conduct of all county cases. Certain.
ly any private individual would do so
with the same evidence before him
for no man would trust an attorney
i'll other eases who had proved false
Or careless in previous litigation. and
we confess we do not see the logic of
Diminishing tho county attorney from
The consideration of the Argus case
alone and yet ask him advice ON other
law points on the same day. Certain.
~ the people will not decide this way

THE Republican Senate showed its
hand yesterday when it came to the pro-
posed duty on oranges in the tariff substi-
tute measure. 1t refused to raise the
duty as originally proposed in that bill,
and it rests at 10 cents a box. The
Mills bill left it at 25 cents. There was a
strong effort made by the Democratic
Senators to throw the mantle of effective
protection over the orange industry Of
the country; but as there
are no rich corporations behind
the orange interests, the Republican
Senators turned deaf ear to the appeal.
There is perhaps a slight. modcum of
protection in the present tariff of twenty
five cents box but to reduce even that
low tariff forty per cent. is to permit
Mexico and the West Indies to food the
country with oranges to the great injury
of our home producers. Orange.produc.
ing Los Angeles has cause to feel proud
that she is the banner Republican county,
in view of this kind of treatment.

Nor one letter in a dozen comes
through our postofiices with the Office
stamps legibly defined upon their covers.
We have one before us that forty
thousand magnifying power glass could
not bring out. Why is this? The date
and place of mailing letters is frequently
matter OF great Importance. Some
times they become of extreme
moment in trials, and why
should they not be clear and
legible as a rule, instead of as the
exception, is something that puzzles US to
account for. Either the stamping should
be we'll done or not done at all. There
is no difficulty in securing satisfaction in
this respect. If the hand stamp will not
accomplish the result desired, why
not have little rotary presses through
which the letters could be passed with
greater rapidity than by hand, and with
a certainty that is not obtained now, by
a large majority?
