DEATH OF HON. HOWELL HOLLIS
Prominent Citizen of Marion Died
Sunday.

SASA&SA@
Sunday.
Relatives and friends in Americus
received yesterday morning the sad
tldings of the death of Hon. Howell
Hollis, the end coming at a late hour
Sunday afternoon at his country home
near Buena Vista. Mr.. Hollis had been
in i'll health for three years, and while
his demise was by no means unexpect-
ed the announcement was received here
yesterday with feelings of deepest sor-
row. The greater portion of Mr.. Hollis
life had been spent in Marion county,
and be was widely known as a repres-
entative citizen and man of affairs. He
held many positions of honor and trust
during his long and useful career, and
was ever worthy of any duty imposed.
He was perhaps 60 years of age, and
is survived by two daughters and three
sons. Mr.. Hollis was gallant Con-
federate soldier and bore upon his
cheek the marks of a wound received
while carrying the colors of his regi
ment. The funeral exercises yester-
day were very largely attended and
evidenced the high esteem in which
the deceased was held.

SECOND CONVICTION
UNDER PROHIBITION
Cufee, of Course, Bears the Brunt of
Burden.
VERY FEW CASES WERE TRIED
At Yesterdays Session of the City
Court-B. T. Hawkins Up Against a
Blind Tiger Sentence Gaining Cases
On Docket For This Morning.

The second conviction for the illegal
sale of whiskeY, or violating the local
option laws, was scored yesterday in
the City Court when B. T. Hawkins, Q
negro whose face has been seen at the
temple oft before, was convicted of this
charge and sentenced to term in the
chaingang.
AS stated, this is the second conv1c-
ton in three years of prohibition.
And this fact, in view of the numer
GUS efforts made to convict in other
cases where both white men and ne
groes were prosecuted upon the charge,
renders yesterdays achievement q
notable one.
Judge Crisp sent Hawkins to the
changing for year, unless he can
pay fine of 1895 He will do neither
as yet, however, as the case will be
carried up unless a new trial is Sc
cured. Hawkins, in the meantime
will give bond and go on his route re-
joicing.
In passing sentence upon Hawkins,
Judge Crisp is quoted as expressing
himself very plainly upon the subject
of non convictions in similar cases
tried during the past three years.
One or two pleas of guilty to the
charge of gaming were entered yester-
day. There are number of other ca
ses, however, and these will probably
be called this morning. All principals
and witnesses had best be present, as
rapid progress will be made of these
cases when finally entered upon.
Three cases against negroes, one for
blind tigering and two for larceny,
made up yesterdays business.

COMMITTEE SHOULD

For Vacancies In Aldermanic Board

FOUR VACANCIES ARE CREATED

For some reason, all are waiting

Just why they should do this it is

bent, Clerk Fl. s. Davis.
Neither Aldermen Sherlock or Bolton
have expressed their intentions rela'
tive to again offering for their places
upon the board, so far as known.
Many of their friends express the be.
lief that they will do so in time.
But there are others, perhaps, who
will make the race for either of the
positions of clerk or aldermen, and 6
formal call for the democratic primary
will have the effect of bringing then
into the arena. Let the committee
name the date and thus relieve the
tension now existing.
Ia all probability Americas viii

whose names are being "suggested'

Power of Cities.

The following supreme court decision
will be of value to some Dickinson peo-
pie who have an idea that they cannot
be compelled by the cityto build side
walks, etc. This particular case was
started by a wealthy Fargo man-owner
of the Webster and bank director-and
was prosecuted vigorously. A Washing
ton dispatch Of April 20 says:
The supreme court today, in an opinion
of Justice Shiras, upheld the constitu-
tionality of the North Dakota law relat-
ing to assessments for Improvements by
municipalities.
The case decided was that of Morti-
mer Webster against the city of Fargo.
Under the law the city of Fargo inn
proved streets On which abutted certain
property belonging to him. He was
charged a pro rata share OF the cost of
the improvement on the basis of his
frontage. He refused to pay the, assess
ment and his property was sold as pro-
vided in the law. He contested the sale
on the ground that the law was uncbnsti-
tutienal in that it operated to deprive
him of his property without due process
of law and denied him equal protection
of law.
The supreme court of North Dakota
decided in favor Of the city, the only
question at issue being the constitution
atty of the law. This decision was sus-
tanned today, the United States supreme
court holding that the law is valid and
that the municipality proceeded entirely
within its powers in enforcing it.

lost Skeeo Found.

Billings Times. April 25th: c. NJ.
Dinsdale. the genial sheep grower of
Dickinson. N. D., met with a streak of
hard luck last week. During the winter
he purchased two bands of lambs from
James L. Ash of this city and early this
month came here toreceive them. The
sheep were perfectly satisfactory and
were received and paid for. Mr.. Dins-
dale decided TO drive the sheep overland
to his home range, consequently started
the band which was fed in this valley for
Musselshell crossing in order to meet
the. other band which had been fed on
Flatwillow. When the band had crossed
Twelve Mile creek. through the careless
ness of the herders $50 head of the lambs
were lost and after a weeks search we're
located ear Twenty Mile station on the
Lavina road.
The party who found the sheep held
Mr.. Dinsdale up for SIS. This in addi-
ton to the other expenses which MIR.
Dinsdale was out ran the amount up to
a considerable sum.
1t is a shame that when men of means
like Mr.. Dinsdale come here to purchase
stock that they should be held up in this
manner. Mr.. Dinsdale has proven him
self to be a just and upright man in all
his dealings. and this kind of conduct
simply tends to drive such business men
from our markets.

Fremont,s Ride.

sl4 N k&x00s s& r.t
A pretty story is told Of how John O.
Fremont informed his wife Of the joy
full news Of his election as senator of
California in 1850. The balloting of the
delegates took place In San Jose, and
Mrs, Fremont was at Monterey, and az
q season of heavy rains was on there
was but little prospect that her keen
desire to know the result would find
immediate qualification. Before a blaz-
ing fire that night sat Fremont's wife,
her fingers for the first time fashioning
a dress for herself on the Trustworthy
outlines Of one that had been ripped up
for the purpose. Her little daughter
had been put to bed, and her compan-
ions for the evening were the Austria
liam woman who had replaced her two
Indian servitors and her baby playing
on the bearskin rug near the fire.
Besides the voice Of the woman and
an occasional chirrup from the baby
she heard nothing but the storm with:
out till the door opened and a man,
dripping with rain, stood on the thresh-
old and asked in consideration Of his
sorry plight If he might enter. It was
Fremont. He had torn himself AWAY
from his idolizing followers and ridden
out into the darkness and storm to tell
his wife, 20 miles away, that he had
been elected to the United States sen.

aid the cost thereof taxed to
abutting property. Bismarck does
not need, nor will it need for
many years to come, street paw
ing, but it does need grading here
and there and most of all it needs
sidewalk. At one time Bismarck
possessed more miles of good
sidewalks than any city in the
state but that was several years
ago and now fifty per cent of the
walks are in bad condition-some
of them actually dangerous to life
and limb. Some of the streets
need rounding up in the center,
drains constructed at the side and
crossings repaired. These i'm
provements should be made grad
ually and in a manner calculated
to embarass taxpayers the least.
1t is imperative that certain i'm
provements be made at once.

must do the rest.

The Red Fl.x,

The red button and the red flag have
been the emblem Of labor and revolu-
ton for more than 5000 years.. In the
ancient world the favorite colors Of the
~aristocracy were white and azure blue,
while red was plebeian. Minerva and
Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agri-
culture, were always represented as
dressed In flaming red, and the ban
ners Of the Greek and Roman trade
unions were OF the same color. The red
flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc-
ity and slaughter, but rather typifed
the fact that all men. whether slaves
or masters, had in their veins the same
blood and in their nature the same hui
mainly.
But in the frequent servile wars Of
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not Of labor, but Of
revolt. At n time when the rebel
lious slaves and gladiators under Spar.
tacus defeated three Roman armies the
red flag was on the point. of supplant-
Ing the eagle in the imperial city itself.
It is related that the labor soldiers
were SO fanatically devoted to their
flag that 1t was the custom OF their
generals when In battle to hurl it far
Into the enemy's ranks and SO compel
Its devotees to rush forward and recoy-
er it.-New York Post.

his wife who had come out from Arkansas

City prosecuted the case and G. E.

Ms. Arnett's trouble came about by
his having been found in bad company,

stole Billings county horses and shipped
them to Arkansas. But Biles got out Of
his difficulty by getting his father to
come out from Texas and put up a cash
bond of $1,000, which enabled the guilty
son to leave the country prior to the sit

THERE are a number of young
folks in the city who need the at
tention of their parents or guard
ians to the end that they do not
create disturbances on the
streets as has been the case quite
frequently of late. If the parents
and guardians will not do their
duty, then the city authorities will
be expected to act. There is
a curfew ordinance and it will not
be a hard matter to show ill-man
