paper man and editor of the Deadwood In
dependent, has issued a circular and is
giving it wide distribution condemning
the manner in which certain affairs III
DeadWood are being conducted and calling
the attention of the grand jury, now In
session, to several fragrant violations of
law
One of these is the Family Liquor store,
which was recently closed by the mayor
and the license of it's proprietor, Max
FriedWald revoked because it was being
conducted as disorderly house. Mr.
Knowles says the place has been reopened
by Morris Nefderman, who has a pre-
tended bond but who has taken out no
license AS Friedwald's bondsmen are re-
leased from responsibility the saloon is
running without a license and with nobody
responsible. t.s4 3
Mr.. knowles then alludes to the Com
Dfnat1on theater which, he says deserves
the attention of the grand jury. He desig
mates 1t as the Lowest down sink-hole
which ever cursed the city of Deadwood. .
Mr.: Knowles says the concern is running
under a fictitious name and no one is re-
sponslble for what occurs He says men
are enticed there, made Intoxicated and

day. The boat will take rank among the
big carriers of the Great Lakes. She Is
.436 feet over all with a beam of fifty feet
and is twenty eight feet in depth. She is
the fifth boat that will have been launched
at the local shipyards this season.
She will be followed within a week or
so by the steamer Wisconsin, which is
four feet longer, being 400 feet in length,
with a beam Of fifty feet and a depth of
twenty-eight feet. The latter boat is built
for the Haywood people of Cleveland and
will likewise rank as one of the big YES
sells of the great lakes.
The 500 report for September shows
that, despite the trust fleet strike, bust
ness was fair in the lake trade. Over
100000 tons were handled during the
month, iron ore OF course being the great
commodity passing thru, while coal made
grains showed a big increase over previ-
Gus months this year. The lake trade is
expected to: pick up this month.
The probability is that the tax rate here
will be a little higher this year than
last, The school board will ask a little
more than last year, while the city will
make the levy tonight. It will probably
be about 100000, as against s1s4,5O0 last
year. 1t is expected the county board will
make higher levy, bringing up the total
tax while the valuation is cut a little,

DON'T LIKE THE LAW,
"Bootlegging' Said to Be Increasing
Under the ShieIs Act.

#& Under the Shiels Act.
FARGO N. D.-There is a greater epidemic
Of boot-leggers in the state this fall than were
ever known before. The change in the drug
gist permit law has resulted in but few of the
drugstores applying for permits and there is less
opportunity for outsiders to secure liquor The
heavy penalty for offenses makes the druggists
very careful and affords the bootleggers an ex-
cellent opportunity. Nearly every section of the
state complains Of the large number of men
engaged in the business and arrests are fire.

One effect is to disgust many honest prohi-
bitfonists with the law and there Is a growth Of
resubmission sentiment. The situation in the
state is peculiar from the fact that there is such
large class of transient laborers in the state
each fall that If whisky is sold freely in small
towns that have no police protection the resi-
dents are terrorized by the crowds of drunken
men. A general license law will probably never
be popular in North Dakota on that account but
there are many men who have always voted for
prohibition that would espouse the cause
