GAMBLERS WAR.
Nicke .n. the slot Machine Owners Arrested and
Fined.

Thirteen of Aberdeen's business men
were arrested and taken before Judge
Pearson Friday, charged with operating
nickle.in the slot machines. Those ar
rested were; J. r. Evans Geo. "A. Todd !;
". B. Paine; L. l.. Maley F. j. Becker;
f. r. Granger; smits & Dudley; &. L..
Hilton; K. X. Bassett; Nick. Larkln !;
Chas. Roelfs and C. w. Mack.
Mack and Larkin paid fines OF 70 ana
costs each, but the others concluded to
test the validity of the ordinance under
which the arrests were made, and en-
gagged Attorney Cross to defend them.
A change of venue was taken from
Judge Pearson's court, and Judge Null
len being out OF the city, the matter was
transferred to Justice Brewer, at Cos
mopolis, where the cases are set Tor trlal
March 81. City Attorney Shields, for
the prosecution, and Attorney Cross, Tor
the defense, have agreed to make one
case a test of the ordinance, there being
no denial of the operation OF the machl-
mes, and if the prosecution, OF that Is
successful the others will plead guilty.
The raid on the machine men is said
to have been prompted by the proprle'
tors of the gambling houses who are
fined each month. and who concluded
that all gambling should be treated
alike. Re this as it NAV, there is con-
siderable feeling stirred up over the mat
ter, and some of the machine men
threaten to have all games of chance
stopped, if they have to invoke the
state law to do it, and the outcome OF
the affair may be that Aberdeen will inn
itate seattle, by having gambling stop
ped by the action of the sports them
selves

There is talk of the Wishkah river leg

Marshal Graham yesterday notified
nine parties-owners and agents OF prop

unless such use of the premises was dis
continued in five days he would proceed
to enforce ordinance No. 80. This ordi-
nance makes it a criminal offence to
keep, or be an inmate of a house of i'll
fame, or for the owner or agent to per-
nit such house to be so used, and pro-
vides penalty of not less than $40 or
more than VS. fine, and the marshal says
he means to enforce it to the letter.

a peculiar feature of the moral wave
that has overtaken Aberdeen is that it
does not proceed from the people who
pose as moralists. The closing of the
gambling games is attributed to the at
tempt Of the fraternity to have the city
collect toll from slot machines, while
the raid on the tenderloin district APP
pears to have been prompted by the
censure of the marshal implied in the
resolution adopted by the council Sat

lated to cause the belief that the pre-
sumption that the city is governed by
law is a myth, and that our city gov

1t is full time that Aberdeen should be.

1t is full time that Aberdeen should be-
gin to keep an official record OF its build
ing improvements, such as is done in all
cities of any Importance. This could be
easily accomplished by requiring a build
ing permit for the use Of the streets to
deposit material wherever new buildings
or additions to old ones are contemplated.
A small fee, say % cents, charged for
each permit would cover the cost OF is
suance and keeping the record, and the
applications for them should contain the
size of building and estimated cost.

ator Henderson of Nebraska, who has
been attorney for two beet sugar conf
panies. was before the senate commit
tee on relations with Cuba yesterday.

sugar beets. but the proposed con-
cession to Cuba had prevented several
factories from being started. He
said that farmers were going from
the middle west states to Manitoba,
but that the sugar beet growing had
arrested this emigration for time.

The Dogs Right Place In the Home

A dog has its place in the home, but
that place is not to terrify our friends
and visitors when they try to approach
our house or to make them uncomfort-
able after they enter it. We are I'M
fair to dog when we allow it to make
nuisance of itself to those who have
no special interest in it's welfare. The
best place for dog is generally where
there are no people other than the
family. There is something wrong
about dog or the license it is allowed
in home when it arouses in guest
or friend those feelings which our in
stincts permit us to suffer, but not ex
