When came home the other
day the children all got after me
and said: "Pa, they have got your
name in the GAZETTE and they
want you to write letter and tell
all you know and a whole lot more.
And they got me the paper and
sure enough saw they wanted me
to write letter to the paper
rather like the way MIR. Farmer
wrote, especially what he said about
the court house. ! want you all to

think Mr.. VIM. Green hit the
nail right on the head when he
said that I.ayaca county had spent
more money and has less to show
for it than amy other county he
knew of. That sizes up the matter
exactly. Bridges, Jail and that SS.
900 vault they put in in the court
house two or three years ago, and
has not been paid for yet.
There is sure one thing about
our court house that l like, and
that is the fine lot Of lawyers we
find there when we go to court.
believe Lavaca county can compare
favorably with any county in the

They are gentlemanly, accommoda-

Bidders Not Anxious.

st the sheritf's sale of the Lloyd real
estate Friday morning, which was post
poned from last Saturday, there was
about 5lG,55O.O0 worth of property dis.
posed of to satisfy a debt of S26.35O52.
A fear of defective title kept many from
bidding and but five bids were received
besides that Of Receiver G.. G. johnson,
who bid IN most of the property. Col.
Augustus Haight was the only heavy
buyer besides the bank and succeeded in
getting 1886 worth of the property.
Receiver johnson bid in lot i, block "a,
where the bank stands. for $3.50, while
the next lot south went to Mr.. Haight
for s1,525. Mr.. Haight also secured the
Lloydinterest in two lots at the corner
of Fifth avenue and Second ST.. where
4. W. Kelley & Son have a coal and
wood yard, for 500. \ great deal Of the
property in the outlying portions of the
city went for little or nothing. In Lloyd's
second addition Is lots in block % were
punched of to the receiver for Sc. So
nine lots in block 81 for sl8, and large
number were knocked down for 81, s.
81, and S. apiece. The creditors of the
bank are short $4,000 or more on this
sale Of real estate.
Twenty blocks IN the town site OF
Ypsilanti, containing an aggregate OF AZ
lots, were bid in by Receiver johnson fol
$50. A considerable lot OF property was
passed and not put up for sale owing
to lack of bidders. The sale attracted a
crowd OF interested spectators. Some OF

u. S. Court Matters.

It 10 expected that the United States
grand jury at Bismarck will find lndict-
ments against E. Ashley Mears, the Far
60 banker. One of Mears' depositors, a
gentleman from Connecticut, who de-.
cribes himself victim, passed through
the city Friday. He had been to Bis
marck and stated that the banker ap-
peared to be very anxious about what
the grand jury was likely to do in his
case, and that friendly influence with the
jurors has been requested on the part OF
t. bankers acquaintances. 1t is said
that the presence Of a number Of Turtle
mountain Indians may have something to
do w.,l be proposed indictments on the
alleged grounds Of illegally acquiring
government land afterwards mortgaged. :.
John H. Llugs. the bank expert. was
called to Bismarck Saturday to appear be
fore the grand jury ID the Lloyd Bank
case. The effort will be made TO get a
number of additional counts in the In
dictment against the Lloyds.

A Specimen Distortion.

Col. J. W. Goodrich let's the Capital
say for him:
The Alert says that about Sl2 per
month 10 about what farmers will pay
for help the coming season. This is the
way he helps labor and sustains his doc
trine. etc.
The Alert SAID nothing OF the kind.
Here is what it did say:
A Steele county farmer says &l2 a
mouth will be all that farmers can afford
to pay farm labor this season, and then
the chances are the man who gets that
and his board will make more than the
one who pays him.
From the outlook for the price OF farm
products most farmers will probably
concede that the Steele county man is
about correct; and Mr.. Goodrich's own
experience in farming ought to teach him
by this time, that no farmer can afford
to pay so mouth and board farm Ia
borers at the present prices Of North Da.
kois products and ut the prices Of the
last year or two. II Col Goodrich, who
10 inclined to be fair minded. honest
critic. let's the Capital quote him on any
subject, he will soon lose that reputation

An Important Decision.

The state supreme court of South Da-
kota has just decided very important
case relating to the destruction OF prop
erty under certain conditions prescribed
by the prohibition law of that state. and
which apply equally as we'll in North
Dakota. In October of 1891 the prohi-
bitionists brought SUIT against the Sioux
Falls Brewing company under the state
law for manufacturing liquors. The
lower court granted the Injunction which
was asked for, declared the plant a nui-
sance and ordered its abatement, to-
gether with the destruction Of some $40,
600 worth of property. The company
gave bonds and carried the case to the
supreme court. The decision Of the
lower court was reversed. 1t is stated
that the brewing company now intends
to enlarge its plant there. giving employ
ment to probably 100 men, and to con-
tlnue the manufacture of beer.
The decision ls said to rest on the
ground that the statute which declares
brewery 60 be nuisance, that could
be abated by destruction and the de-
struction of large amount OF valuable
property as we'll, did not specifically
state that the beer made IN the brewery
was Intoxicating. This may be tech
nicality, or may not, but the decision
reached is sound sense and common JUS
tice. whatever grounds it may rest upon;
and as the Minneapolis Journal philo.
sophically observes: ''The prohibition
law in South Dakota, however, is ignored
in all the large towns, SO that the decis-
ion can hardly make much difference IN
the consumption OF beer.

Objections to the Proposed
System of Sewerage
Answered..
Business Done at the LaMoure
Term OF the Court Last
Week.
Sheriff'S Sale of Lloyd Real
Estate Attracts Few
Bidders,

The objection has been raised to the
proposed sewer system for jamestown
that for five months in the year the sewer
would be practically worthless owing to
it's freezing up at the outlet or along the
route In a conversation with City
Engineer Tilden he stated that such an
assumption was wholly groundless. The
sewer will be placed below the frost
line and the artesian water, with which
the sewer will be flushed automatically
both winter and summer, Is of tempera-
ture far above the freezing point. The
grade OF the sewer is such that the con-
tents will flow rapidly, the fall being
l in go feet This will insure a
rapid flow aud yet be not great
enough to wear away the bottom part of
the sewer. The rapid flow IN addition
to the warm artesian water will prevent,
and If through disuse should become
partly frozen, would tbaw out, the
sewer and absolutely prevent a stop
page from that cause. Again, if at the
month of the sewer, in the winter,
the ice should collect SO as to cause
the sewerage to back up, a possl.
bility but not a. probability, the ice OF
course would have to be removed by
chopping. This interference with its
working Mr.. Tilden considered of little
account and thought would hardly exist
as the flow, being above the freezlne
point, would on leaving the outlet cut a
path for itself to lower level and
maintain free passage way.
Hypothetical cases of the clogging ol
the sewer because some frozen potatoes
a newspaper or something else had
been neg!igently thrown in, have been
adduced to show how easily it would be to
| render the system useless TO all and con
stant attention necessary to preven,
such accidents. Undoubtedly such ref
use might possibly get in, but the,
would rarely reach the main sewer
simply clogging the branch belonging te
the particular householder and entallinS
upon him plumbers bill for bis negli
gence. The street openings for the ad
mission Of storm water will be covered
with iron gratings, preventing the ad
mission OF foreign bodies. The automatic
flush tank will periodically pour into tb,
sewer quantity of water sufficient t.
ill the smaller parts and connections
and carry down with it all collections
Ordinary sewerage in the How through
the sewer, by attrition, is reduced to :
fluid state after travelling but few hun

Operator Thos. Williams is IN the city

Engineer Norman Gray, formerly with
the Mort bern Pacific but now with the
Great Northern railroad stopped off in
this city last evening to visit friends. on
his way to Mandan. Business on the
Great Northern, he states, is not very
good at present but the men hope for
more employment soon by the putting
on OF several work trains. The employees
OF the road we're compelled to accept a
reduction OF wages of about 6 per cent.

Many Favor 1t.

Many republicans have expressed
themselves about as follows regarding
the citizens conventions: If the conven-
ton Is run strictly without regard to
politics. we are in favor of 1t. and will
turn IN and help elect the candidates so
nominated"
As the convention is simply protest on
the part OF citizens against partisan at.
tempt to conduct the city on a political
basis, there need be DO fear OF the citi-
zens conveution assuming a political
phase. 1t is non partisan in every sense
and as such seems to meet the approval
OF the leading men of all parties.

COURT AT LA INQUIRE.
Cruelty to Animals Prosecutions
Blind Pig Suits.

Cruelty to Animals Prosecution.-
Blind Pig Suits.
Judge Rose will continue the term Of
the district court at LA Moure this week,
there being several cases OF criminal vlo-
lations to be heard. Last week \ some
what unusual case WAS tried, it being a
prosecution for cruelty to animals. The
driver OF a livery team. owned at Edgeley,
was ordered by the owner OF the barn. to
make certain distance with the team in
a given time. This was done, distance
of l02 miles being made in 10 hours. On
return to the stable one OF the horses
died and the other was found badly in
jured. The ANIMALS were high spirited
and made the long drive, it is said, with
out much urging, but staggered and fell
at the end Of the trip. Owing chiefly to
the directions Of the owner of the team,
the driver was acquitted by the jury.
There are seven blind pig cases on the
docket, one of which was tried last week,
two plead guilty, and four are to be
tried this week. Prosecuting Attorney
Davis Is going at the work as in duty
bound and 1t Is said trying the suits for
all there is in them, although personally
not prohibitionist. The cases are from
Edgeley and Kuhn, the latter a German
settlement where legal restrictions on the
long exercised custom of drinking and
selling beer are said to be almost in.

TESTING Ignite.
Experiments of Importance in the
Future Use OF the Fuel.

Experiments Of Importance in the
Future Use OF the Fuel.
The results of the test OF Ignite coal
now being made at the Northern Pacific
round house, under the direction of
Foreman McLa;n, will be quite lmpor-
tant IN its results. At present the CON-
pany is using eastern Goa; in all OF Its
stationary boilers, in round houses, pump
stations, depots and section houses on
this division. although the Ignite fuel
has been used for year and half on
the Missouri division with satisfaction
and economy. The test is being made on
the basis Of evaporation, or on how many
pounds of water can be converted into
steam by each pound or each ton of COAL
This is considered the most accurate test
that can be made.
The test is being made by using a car.
load of Sims, carload of Lehigh and a
car of Hooking valley, eastern coal.
Speaking of the test A. G.. McGillivray
of the Leh i ! ckinson, says:
If this test can be made to show to the
Northern Pacific, that there is Il profit in
the use of the native coal, I believe it
will save the road fifty per cent. on It's
bill for coal for stationery boilers and
stoves. If the Ignite can be made to
evaporate three pounds of water to a
pound of coal, at the present prices for
Ignite and eastern soft coal, the latter
will have to evaporate 8 pounds of water
to pound OF coal. which no coal can do.
Among it's other advantages for railroad
use is that there is no SCOT to be cleaned
out OF fues The success of this test WILL
virtually settle the coal question, and
will give work to a large number of men
in the summer time when business is
slack. It will also keep large amount
OF money at home, which the company is
naturally anxious to do.

Opera House Ownership.

two interests own one half Of th+ prop
erty; and Wm. Lloyd, F. i. Fancher as
