There is q city ordinance making it misdemeanor to obstruct the sidewalks with boxes, barrels, pro- duce, etc., yet it is violated to such an extent that it is becoming a nuisance. In some places the side walks are so obstructed by our merchants that pedestrians have to go in single file to get by. This is wrong, and the Mayor and Chief Of Police should see that the sidewalk ordinance is enforced. Merchants have no right to pile their goods on the sidewalks to the inconvenience of pedestrians. We hope this is the only time the GRAPHIC will have to call attention to this matter before some action is taken by the proper authorities.

To show the possibility of the vaca1 organs when developed and cultivated. Prof. Sangerman gave limitations of sounds produced by various musical instuments-twelve in number-the perfection of which maryeled all present. The Professor stated that this country surpassed the old in grasping mathematical problems, but that it was deficient and far inferior in vocal culture and enunciation. After travelling over most of the United States and visit ing great many of our schools and Universities, he had concluded that our system of public schools was equally as good as that in Germany This indeed is a compliment not only because it come from an eminent German, but because the school system of Germany is general ly regarded as the best i'll the world. He also complimented the local school upon it's excellent discipline, usually wanting, he said i'll this country. The lecture was very in- tertaining and instructive and was greatly enjoyed by the pupils and visitors.

 AN ASSURED FACT.
A Bonus Will Be Put Up By Ashley County-Gov. Clarke's Anti- Fight stand En-
 dorsed

A speeal to the Gazette from Ham, burg, November 19, says: The rall- road from Snnnyside to Hamburg is an assured fact. A meeting was held last Thursday afternoon in the Court-house and was addressed at some length by Mr. J C. Connolly, representing the Corbin interest. The speaker said the road would be built from Sunnyside to some point on the branch of the Iron Mountain running to Alexandria, La., either to Portland or above that town by June next. The subsidy of 10000 acres of land subscribed by the eiti- zens of Chicot county, is about made up. All that was needed to be done by the people of Ashley county, the speaker said, if they wanted the road, is to raise the 30,000 acres of land, much of which has already been subscribed. Speeches favOring the construction of the road were made by Judges Hawkins, Robinson and Roby, Messrs. Pugh. Dean, Craig, Norman and McCoombs. The last named gentleman stated that he had a letter from Mr. Corbin stating that where parties bought land to com plete their donations he (Gorbin) would take the land Gin event the road was not built) at cost price. A committee of five, consisting of Co.'s. George w. Norman, k. E. Craig, George B. Pugh and Judge Roby, was appointed to get the donation deeds, and the meeting adjourned amid considerable enthusiasm.
 The committee is now at work, and report some 10000 in sight for which deeds have been or are being made. The citizens of the town and county are jubilant over the outlook.

IT IS, to say the least, a rather peculiar
and at the same time amusing game of
follow my leader which is being played
in Arkansas and Texas by the authorities
and the prize fighters. It is a rather
peculiar spectacle-that of two men
intent upon breaking the law, keeping
the authorities in two or three states in a
condition Of continual ferment, for a
period Of a month or more. One result
which will come Of the present game of
hide-and-seek, doubtless, will be that
the majority Of states which do not desire
to be overrun with prize fighters and
ring-followers, will pass statutes, SINH
lar to that recently passed by Texas,
making participation in a smuggling
match a felony. This will effectually
put a stop to prize fighting in the states
which pass such a law.

SENATOR CHANDLER of New Hamp-
shire thinks war between England and
the United States is inevitable, and says
it will be fought with Russia as an ally
Of the United States, and will result in
the acquisition by Uncle Sam of Canada.
While Senator Chandler's prediction
may be accurate, it is doubtful if there
is any condition Existing at present
which would induce John Bull to engage
in a third combat with this country.
England's present game in Venezuela is
being played as a bluff, and it has but to
be called to make England recede from
her position. A war with any of the
powers of the first class would cost Eng
land dear-she has too many scattered
interests and doubtful holdings, to risk
them in a contest with any nation the
equal Of her own. Senator Chambers
war, if one there is to be-, is likely to be
carried on with England on the defensive
rather than the aggressive.

The motorcycle and horseless carriage
tests being made in Chicago are of inter.
est throughout the country. These
vehicles have already been developed to
practical utility, and in all branches OF
industry their value would be apparent.
It is remarked that the cost of adding
q petroleum or other motor to the farm
e would at the outset be no more
than that Of q pair of cart horses at
the very outside. The farmer could
then have a wagon with horses which
never tire, which could return from the
railway at a trot and carry his load with
greater speed than when he had his live
team, which from their nature could
only go at a slow speed, and, moreover
eelf-propelled wagons and carts would
not be open to the same objection as the
heavy road trains drawn on country
roads. The farmer would require less
men to tend his horses, no stabling to
keep in order, no fields to be cropped
for the supply OF his horses, and the cost
OF working and maintaining his engine
would be less than half the expense of
the present method Of propulsion. The
labor thus displaced could be utilized
with advantage in fields, and the whole
produce Of the farm would be o~f'enhanc-
ed value to the farmer since his expenses
would be smaller.

The Pepke Case Again.
Friday evening another writ of habeas
corpus wa sued out by the attorneys
for Pepke, and the supreme court today
entered an order discharging the prisoner
from custody, on motion of the attorney
general.
Pepke was some three years ago found
guilty Of violating an in~junctional order
of the district court issued under pro-
ibition law of the state for selling in.
toxicating liquors. The building in which
liquor had been sold was by order of the
court closed as is provided in section 13
of the prohibition law; after the closing
Of the building Pepke went inside in vio-
lation of the courts order. He was ar
rested for contempt of court and fined
by Judge Templeton, then the presiding
judge, in the district in which Walsh
county was situated, in the sum of two
hundred dollars, AID confined in the
county Jail for the period Of ninety days,
to remain confined after the expiration
of the ninety days imprisonment until
fine and cost had been paid at the rate
of one dollars per day for such
imprisonment. After having served
t%wenty-four days il jail, M. A. Spooner,
a Minneapolis attorney, who has since
appeared for him as his attorney sued
out a writ Of habeas corpus from the
United States district court, over which
Judge Thomas presides, claiming the
imprisonment of Pepke was in violation
of law, as he was imprisoned under sec
ton ID, of the prohibition law, which
was in violation Of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States and in violation Of sec
ton IS OF the constitution Of the state
of North Dakota.
Judge Thomas in rendering his de-
oision said: ut was not claimed or sug-
gested upon the argument that the court
ought to refuse to entertain the case for
the reason that there were no special
circumstances alleged calling for the in
terposition of this court by virtue of
this writ. It seems to oe conceded that
there we're such circumstances, and I
therefore have considered the case on it's
merits, and have reached the conclusion
after careful examination Of all the cases
cited. that the district court Of the state
had jurisdiction to make the orders in
question, and that the prisoner is not
held or restrained Of his liberty in viola.
ton OF the constitution or any laws Of
the United States"
From this judgment the petitioner,
Pepke appealed to the supreme court Of
the United States. The supreme court
dismissed the proceedings on the ground
that Judge Thomas had not jurisdiction
