Sprung a Point.

In the trial of Dan Henson this
morning in police court. Attorney
Reynolds sprung a point which
doubtless puzzled the police Judge.
Henson is charged with carrying a
weapon. and for this offense city
ordinance No. 9 provides a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than
5000. Attorney Reynolds argu-
ment is that the city government
cannot impose a fine of more than
$25 and is based upon Sec.
766 Of Mansfield's digest
which reads as follows:
Municipal corporations shall not
have power to inAict any fine or
penalty, by ordinance orotherwise
to greater sum than $25. for any
one specified offense or violation of
such bylaw or ordinance. :"
If Mr.. Reynolds position is sus-
tanned those who formerly have
paid fines of $50 to the city gov
ernment can recover but, in as
much as the same fine would be
imposed in the United States courts
no one will go to the trouble and
cost of the litigation. Henson's
case will be taken to the district
court.

MUCH interest is being manifest
ed now regarding lease interests.
People are making all sorts of in
quiries of nearly everyone. The
man with the unexpired term wants
to know if he will receive compen'
sation for his improvements, while
others want to know if they can
hold land under the government
where there is doubt as to citi-
zen's right to receive rent. These
are the unsolved and seemingly in
soluble problems of non-citizens in
the Territory.

on the third Saturday in December.
They were elected on the 26th day
Of January and installed into Office

amount Of work, and in nothing
has any member of the board shirk-
ed O duty. From an unfavorable
state of affairs they have establish
ed free schools. put them upon q
firm basis and increased the at
tendance beyond the expectations
of our people. This work has been
done at the sacrifice of these men
and it would seem fair for the
onerous duties unavoidably connect
ed with this Office to be shared
with others. but it is doubtless the
sense sof. every voter of the town
that these men be elected to sue
ceed themselves. They have been
wise in council, have met emer-
gencies in way best calculated to
inspire confidence in the public
schools of Ardmore and we trust
that neither will decline to have
his name voted upon.

The developments Of the South
African war are giving General
Joubert place as one OF the greatest
military strategists of the age. The
suspicion that it was in him has
existed from the first few weeks of
the war, when he isolated the three
divisions Of the British army in
Natal and effectually put an end to
them field operations by maneuv-l
ering them into defensive positions
from which there now seems little
hope of their emerging except as
prisoners of war.
But since the British reinforce
ments reached the coast and COM
menced their march to the relief OF
the beleagured forces his vigilance
and resource have been developed
in a manner to surprise the watch
ing world and to bring consterna-
tion to the guilty conscience of the
British war advocates. Without
seeming to weaken the investment
of either of the three beleagured
cities, he has marshaled forces in
a mysterious and seemingly un
known manner and so disposed
them as to checkmate every move
of the British advance.
The recent battle of Belmont
bears every evidence of being a
part of his general plan, for the
tactics there were the same as
were observed at Glencoe and
Elandslaagte where the British
were left in possession of the field,
but where the fruits of victory were
really with the Beers. This would
seem to be the case at Belmont.
for the Beers retreated in good or
der, taking their artillery and
transport train with them, while
the battle has effectually dispelled
the hope of the British of reaching
Kimberley before it surrenders.
At the Mooi river the British re-
lief column is confronted by a
strong Boer force, which has iso-
lated Pietermaritzburg, and thus
the relief of Ladvsmith is consid-
cred entirely doubtful. In fact,
the British reports say that there
is strong probability of withdraw
ing this force to Durham which is
threatened by the Beers.
That some master mind is di-
recting the operations of the Beers
is acknowledged by the British Of
ficials and that the imperial land
grabbers are greatly concerned at
the condition of affairs is easily
discernible in the dispatches. They
have undertaken a task which will
apparently tax their strength and
ingenuity to their utmost.

THE uncertainty at present pre-
vailing in this country regarding
leasehold interests should be set at
rest in some manner at the earliest
time possible. Either a definite
ruling should be made by the de-
partment or congressional action
should be had thereon before the
holiday recess.

Condition Of Special Delivery Mail
in This CITY,

Uncle Sam seems to be confronted by
the condition OF either maintaining poor
ana unsatisfactory special delivery SER
vice In Seattle, or else to be forced TO lose
money. On the present charge for spe-
eiai deliveries of letters IL appears i'm
possible 30 give the quick service TO
which the stamps are supposed to ent!tle
their users without actually spending
more than the 10 cents revenue. This
condition has been brought 10 light In the
last few days by a number OF complaints
being sent 10 the local postofiice. One
letter mailed 70 the Office OF the Allen &
Nelson Mil Company. with a Seattle
not delivered until 9:05 the next morning
causing the firm Inconvenience. Such
complaints have been frequent since the
postoffice was moved to its present site
Prior to then the deliveries were In the
hands Of a messenger company. but the
latter has refused 10 continue IL. as the

able time in going 10 and from the post
office. Now. the postofface has To take
care OF its own deliveries and as the
revenue is not sufficient to maintain the
large force employed by a messenger
company, the public is the sufferer.
The letters 10 which special delivery
stamps are affixed that come 10 the local
office average about twenty a day. Nest
OF these are OF course for the downtown
district, but nearly all the late deliveries
and goodly share OF the others are for
places far out. requiring car fare and
from one to three hours To deliver. The
