II is said that the information upon
which the prohibitionists have finally in.
formed the world that beer was being
drank IN jamestown, was obtained some
time ago through the employment of IN
alleged prize fighter, who was paid to do
what reputable citizens will not stoop to
do-play the spy act-and what the pro-
hibitlonists themselves declined to do.
Bonds for all the parties were obtained
without much difficulty, although the
bondemen were required to verify to the
ownership of real estate.
States Attorney Glaspell acted in the
proceedings under the written instruc.
tlons Of Attorney General Standish. The
offenses were alleged to have been com.
mitted on the 7th and 18th of July, dur
ing the late term of the district court
The charges could be heard at once if
the jury had not been dismissed. They
will not be given a hearing until Sept.

number of witnesses cited in the CON-
plants and several offenses charged in
each individual case.

An UnWise System.

Spiritwood Bugle: Nothing better il
lustrates the unwisdom Of our township
system of schools than the condition of
the school fund of the several townships
in this county to-day. By the failure or
suspension of Lloyd's National Bank,
the funds Of every school township ex-
cept two are locked up, and school work
must be dropped unless drastic measures
are taken against the treasurers and
bondsmen. Fortunately there appears
to be no inclination to pursue the latter
course. The school townships as rule
have been carrying larger surplus than
necessary-in some instances more than
twenty-five hundred dollars-and the
treasures were obliged to place these
Jorge sums in bank. Under the sepa-
rate school district system no amount of
money need be on hand that would be
unsafe for the treasure to carry. As a
rule greater economy would be used,
teachers better adapted to the school
would be found, and a greater interest
in school work would be exhibited by
the patrons.

School Land Timber.

Hon. Mark Williams Of the state land
commissioners Office, was at the Glad
stone Monday. He said that the work
OF looking up the condition and estimat-
ing the amount Of timber on the school
lands OF the state was now in progress.
Much Of the timber on school sections
along the Red river valley had been cut
of, and most of it before the selections
were made. 1t is the desire of Land
Commissioner Williams as we'll as the
school board, to get as much information
as possible about the amount and value
of the timber on state lands before
further sales or leases are made. There
is not very much school land that
contains timber, and this lies chiefly in
the Red river valley, but for the reason
that the timber land is scarce, the COM
missioner is taking extra efforts to de-
termine it's location and value.

Killing Chickens.

1t is said that lot of young prairie
chickens have been recently killed by
parties in this city, and that the birds
have been located in the possession OF
the violators of the law. Steps to prose-
cute will in all likelihood be taken. It
is an easy matter now to kill off an entire
covey OF the young birds which cannot
fly any great distance. A few persons
violate the law without punishment
while the many refrain from doing 80.
This is calculated to make the average
citizen as much of kicker as anything,
and for the sake of fair play, the offend
ers ought to be fined FOR their work.
Give the birds few weeks longer.
They will then take care OF themselves.
There is enough for all reasonable per-
sons to slaughter after August 20.

The Commissioners.

The business transacted by the county
commissioners at their last meeting con-
sisted almost entirely of the allowing of
bills, most of which we're road certifi-
Gates.
At the meeting Of the county commits
sioners Saturday, the county wolf bounty
was reduced from So to 81. The new
law, which went into effect July lst, pre-
scribes that any person who shall kill
any timber or prairie wolf in the state,
shall be entitled to receive bounty of
two dollars. Orders are issued by the
county auditors on the state treasurer
for the amounts, and the orders made
receivable as payment of state tax. The
wolf bounty remains the same IN amount
as heretofore, three dollars, but is de-
rived from two sources, the county and
state instead of from the county alone.

That Local Sentiment,

The blind pigs have been placed under
bond, after many months of delay, by
the evidence of hired detectives from
abroad, and not by the will of the people
here, as expressed through their repre-
sentstives, the local authorities. The
warrants were issued by judge from
another district, the evidence, plain to
every citizen Of jamestown for many
months, had to be furnished by spoilers
from Minnesota, the attorney general of
the state forced the proceedings, and it
is undoubtedly true that probibltionists
not residents Of this city paid the pre-
liminary costs. There was and Is such a
small quantity Of local approval Of this
proceeding here that it is not worth
mentioning. Yet the Capital asserts
that the local sentiment against prohi-
bition is confined to The Alert office.

consequences Of Repeal.

A delegate to the Chicago silver con-
vention describes the situation thus:
"There is about sl,6OO,0OO,OOU in this
country, about S60O,00O,000sof which is
gold. If the Sherman law is uncondi-
tionally repealed the legal tender func-
tion of about 81 1,0000OO,0O0 will be de-
stroyed, causing decline IN all values to
a like extent. No debtor would be able
to pay his debts. The banks would 60
into liquidation, railroads and all bust
ness enterprises into the hands of re-
ceivers, and general bankruptcy ensue.
As one-half the gold is found in silver
ores the closing of the silver mines would
reduce the product of gold below the re-
quirements for the arts And as three
fourths of the gold is in the treasury and
banks, and as three-ffths of the wealth
OF the nation is owned by 10000 people,
how much per capita would the 65OOO,0OO
have, and where would the 100000
yearly increase in population get money
with which to do business? would like
the gold-standard advocates to give us
some solution Of these questions.

JAMEsTOWN's CELERY.
Growth of the Business. Skilled Labor
Needed.

The celery season began this year from
two to three weeks earlier than last, in
this locality, owing to rains which oc-
Cured when the plants we're set out.
The first celery shipment occurred last
year about the second week of August.
It may be Of information to many in the
city to know the scope of country sup
piled by jamestown. Little Falls and
Brainerd, Mimi, are about the eastern
limit, when the Kalamazoo celery comes
into competition. Places between this
city and Aberdeen, s. D., on the south
and Emerson, Manitoba. on the north
are also supplied by tri or smi weekly
shipments from this city. All points on
the main line and branches of the
Northern Pacific to Sprague and
Spokane Falls, Wash, are also supplied
The business is starting out we'll this
year and all the gardeners state that if
the demand keeps up as begun, they will
be sold out by November, although they
have % or 80 acres under cultivation.
W. W. Seekins began the business about
five years ago with two rows and since
then has been doubling the amount each
year and now is laying his plans to still
further increase the acreage next year.
One drawback which the growers of the
plant encounter, is scarcity of skilled
labor. Plenty of help can be secured,
but not Of the right kind. They know
nothing OF the culture required ard have
to be constantly under the eye of an at
tendant. Immediately after rains is the
best time to set out the plants and then
only skilled laborers are desired that can
do fast and good work. Some of the
last plants were placed in the ground
July 9Th and 9Th.
