cia1 Betterment.

The lecture by DR.. William H Tolman
at the First Unitarian church last night,
under the auspices of the Commercial
club, on the problem of Social Better
nnent' and its solution. deserved much
larger audience. The lecture, which was
illustrated with stereopticon views, was
interesting and instructive
Dr., Tolman is the director of the in
G1ustrial department of the League for
Social Service of New York City. He
briefly stated the objects of the league
TO be to bring about a closer bond of
sympathy between employers and en-
house for the collection and distribu-
ton of facts which will serve to bring
about such an end
He said that both labor and capital
realize their interests are common. The
purpose of the League for Social Service,
said DR.. Tolman, is to present to the
business men throughout the country the
results of efforts which have been made
by employers in all parts of the world
to uplift the social conditions of their
employees. and thus secure longer service,
more efficient service, and more SYM
patty between the two.
DR.. Tolman presented some of these
facts in a most forceful manner by the
has collected in England, Holland, Ger
many and the United States.
THE old world is far ahead of Amer
= ica in the successful treatment of this
subject but we are commencing to take
time from the work of money king
to consider whether we are rightfully
entitled to all this money"
Mr.. Tolman is making a flying trip
across the continent in order to awaken
interest among the business men of the
country on the subject. He will return
in the spring and give more time to the
work of getting members for the league.

yesterday. 1t was in session fifteen days,
and returned nearly ninety indictments.
1t had ne recommendations to make
on the condition or management of the
poor farm. The county Jail is also re-
ported as being in excellent condition.
The city lookup came in for it's usual
roast as regards its sanitary condition
and surroundings. The officers in charge
were commended.
1t found the condition of the work
house, as regards surroundings, food,
etc, to be of the best, but recommended.
on account of present infiammable con-
ton of the structure, that fire escapes
be provided.
1t was the opinion of the jury that the
sheriff ought to be put on a salary basis
for doing county business, but that the
fees should be allowed for civil business.
The present loose method of dealing
with saloons by the authorities was also
severely criticized. Present laws regulat-
ing the closing of saloons on Sunday
should be more rigidly enforced, and the
saloons which do not comply to present
law should be made to do so.

SHERIFF WAS SLOW.
Attempt to Attach Gate Receipts at
'Haha a Failure.

Deputy Sheriff Johnson is not as
rule nervous man, or one who lacks
courage, but at critical moment yes
terday afternoon he hesitated in the per-
Torrance of his duty, and to that tact
the Minnehaha Driving Park association
can attribute the failure of an attempt
to attach the gate receipts.
A writ of attachment had been secured
by the Appleton Manufacturing COM
pany against the driving park people,
the amount of $500 being alleged due for
the erection of a windmill at the park
last May.
Attorney William E. Pierrard had the
matter in charge and accompanied Depu-
ty Johnson to the gate to watch the
operation
But when Johnson saw the crowd, he
walked into it and around it, and finally
came to the conclusion that he would
send for assistance before beginning ac-
tive operations
When Deputy Woodcock arrived to re-
inforce Johnson, the man with the money
had taken it, placed in it his pocket, de-
flying the officer to attach it.
