POLICE COURT.
Two Young lien Fined for Offen-
sive Conduct on the
Streets.

Justice Ball $ court was occupied for
an hour and half this morning, hear
ing the case against three young men
charged with offensive conduct toward
young women whom they followed and
molested on upper Egan avenue week
ago last Sunday night when the young
women were returning home from
church. A dozen or more young lads
of the city were present to hear the
trial, but at the suggestion of City At
torney Porter they were excluded from
the court room.
Testimony developed the fact that
two of the young men were guilty as
charged in the complaint while the third
was proven innocent aud discharged.
Fines of 81 and costs, aggregating S5.35,
We're imposed upon each of the guilty
ones.
Justice Ball and City Attorney Por
ter were inclined to teach the boys a
to the contempt of their fellows. or fine
them heavily. Mr. Porter expressed
regret to the young man who was dis
missed, that he had been arrested and
also requested this reporter to with
hold the names of the boys from the
public print.
While the court officials were thus
inclined, they were particularly gener
Gus to one of the guilty young men who
gave his age as seventeen years. and
who failed to impress the officers that
he appreciated their kindness He was
rather glib in taking hand in the pro-
ceedings and his remarks called from
Mr. Porter an expression as to whether
leniency in his case was well bestowed.
Justice Ball gave the boys a COOL
sound lecture and impressed upon them
the advisability of conducting them
selves in a gentlemanly manner in the
future, and it is sincerely desired that
the lesson of this morning will be taken
seriously not only by those who have
paid fine for offensive conduct but by
every young man in the city who has
not yet reached the age of twenty years

DON'T LIKE IT.
BrOokings College Students Com
plain of Recent Ruling Pro-
hibiting Dancing.

Brookings dispatch, 81 Some weeks
ago the faculty of the South Dakota ag-
ricultural college took everybody by
surprise by adopting a rule absolutely
prohibiting dancing at the college.
The dances had been enjoyable features
of social life at the institution, and the
new rule caused indignation among the
students of both sexes. A petition was
prepared asking that the rule he res
cinded but it was turned down.
The following sarcastic comment in
the Industrial Collegian the school pa
per issued by the students shows the
feeling:
Although the petition to the faculty
to reconsider their recent ruling against
dancing was signed by over two hun
dred and fifty students the faculty stood
pat and the scroll was promptly pigeon
holed without dissenting vote. Thus
the campus with its precious burdens
of brick structures is henceforh and for
good consigned to the somber sacred
silence becoming to very churchyard
One must almost listen twice when he
hears the college bell in order to ascer-
tain that it is not the peals from some
cathedral belfry that he hears.
"A permanent chair of theology and
Hebrew philosophy should be establish.
ei 50 that the present high moral stan
dard may be secured against all the
varying fortunes of political change.
LAST year persons in South America
wanted to get the plan of our college be-
cause they thought it peculiarly well
adapted to their civilization. We have
vindicated ourselves by the progress we
have made since then and now we ex-
pect sister state institutions on our own
continent to sit up and take notice. :

GREAT GRAFT.
Extensive Business i'm the Sac
of Arid California
Lands.

Sioux Falls Fress /: Jonah Jones
who recently returned from California
saws that portions of that state are
about the next thing to paradise while
great deal of it is little better than a
desert. This condition has given rise
to MANY swindling schemes in land and
Mr.. Jones SAYS the state is the greatest
place for grafters he ever saw.
Zone young man came out there
from Chicago and bought practically
worthless land east of the range. He
bought 3. 900 acres at $6 per acre. He
then went back to Chicago and opened
land Office, advertising his lands ex-
tensively. He showed by circulars the
wonderful products of California a state
where almost anything can be raised.
Showed the wonderful fortunes that are
made in a few years raising oranges and
other fruits all of which is true of por-
tions of the state. By extensive adver-
tising he sold all of his land at from
$4:5O to $500 per acre and in short
time cleared up an immense fortune.
People tumbled over each other to get
small tracts of this land without going
out to see it. The land which they
purcha sed has not more than six inches
of soil. After digging down six inches
you can't drive spike in anywhere.
1t is all hard pan.
The way they plant trees there IS
to drill into the rock and blow out a
hole with stick of dynamite. The
tree is set and the hole filed with dirt.
1t grows nicely for few years like a
plant in a flower pot but when the roots
get crowded for room they come out on
top of the ground and the tIee dies.
"No man should purchase an acre OF
California land without seeing it and
ascertaining whether it is in the fertile
part of the state or in the desert.

PETER THE GREAT.
History shows That the Old Ruler
of RUSSIA Was N Monster.

Years ago, when u low standard of
morals prevailed, the epithet Great
was bestowed upon any monarch who
won battles and enlarged the territory
and resources of his kingdom. Itmatter-
ed little then to the historian what might
be kings private character, provided
he made his nation formidable by Its
brute strength and full treasury. Even
II he was bad man they eulogized
him as a good ruler. Peter l. of Rus
sia is called Peter the Great be-
cause he transformed a barbarous into
semibarbarous nation. But no one
can now read the following summary
of his character without feeling of
disgust. Voltaire, In his "Phllosoph-
lcal Dictionary" says that Peter was
half hero and half tiger" Macaulay
declares that ''to the end of his life he
lived In his palace like hog in sty,
and when he was entertained by other
soverelgns never failed to leave un-
eQulvocal proof that savage had been
there"
Peter, when the fit was on him, lit
orally caned everybOdy-from his cook
to his counselor, from the meanest
peasant to the highest noble-sparlng
neither age nor sex. He would get up
from the table and fog the host who
was entertaining him. He would stand
at the door of the senate house and
fog each senator that went In. Lefort
was an intimate and trusted friend,
yet on slight provocation he was
knocked down and brutally kicked by
his imperial master. But all this fog
glng was in the way of recreation.
When Peter meant business" 1t was
q more serious matter. Incredible as
It may seem, 1t Is nevertheless well
authenticated that one of his own sis
ters-it is said more than one-received
100 strokes of the whip on her back in
the presence of the whole court.
In 1713 Alexis, his only son who out
lived infancy, was for some offense of
no great seriousness several times tor
tured in the presence of the diabolical
father and in the end died either from
the effect of the torture or by assassi-
nation. For sympathizing with Alexis
the Princess Golitsyn, the bosom COM
panIon of the Empress Catherine, was
publicly whipped by soldiers. For the
same reason the brother Of his first
wife, EudoXia-whom he had thrown
into prisor-was tortured and then
torn In pieces on the wheel. Nothing
ever told of Nero is more horribly gro
tesque than this, yet this man, or mon
ster rather, is paraded before the world
as Peter the Great.

THE CHINESE DOCTOR.
How He Makes Examinations and
Administers Medicine.

hO" ne uhktN anu
Administers Medicine.
The method of treating sick persons
adopted by Chinese doctors in some
cities is similar to that of the other
physicians of the United States and
those of Great Britain. They depend
much, however, on the examination of
the pulse. Their sense of touch is so
wonderfully developed that 1t is said
they can determine the condition of
the heart as well as some of the other
organs merely by the feebleness or
strength of the beats, but they say
there are no less than twelve different
movements of the arteries In the hui
man body, all Of which can be detect
ed by feeling the fingers, wrist and
arm.
When a patient calls on him for ex-
animation the doctor first presses the
arm, wrist and fingers, touching nearly
every part. Sometimes ten or fifteen
minutes are occupied with this examina-
ton. Then he may ask If the patient
is married or single and also his age,
but ihio 10 hDoul tht Hill VI lut GA
animation. Apparently he can tell the
nature Of the disease without question
ing further, and If the caller wishes
prescription he writes one in the ordi-
nary Chinese characters on a gener-
GUS sized square of paper.
Ringing a bell, he hands the pre-
| scrlption to the Chinese attendant who
enters, for each physician has his own
shop, filled with the ingredients which
| he uses in treatment. If he has
large practice, he may employ native
chemist, who makes up the prescrip-
| ton.
One of the curious features of Chi
nese medical treatment is the way in
which the physicians administer their
| remedies. Nearly all the Offices of the
principal doctors have what may be
called tea room attachment. This is
a spacious apartment, well lighted, fire.
quently ornamented with oriental pot
terry and pictures and containing small
| tables, each with two or three chairs.
| If the invalid does not wish to take
his medicine at home, he is ushered
| into this room and while seated at
one of the tables drinks his prescrip-
| ton as he would a cup of tea or
glass of wine. With but few eXcep-
tions the medicine is in liquid form
and served hot in dainty Chinese
bowls, for most of it is composed of
decoction of herbs.
Each table contains bowl of raisins,
and when the attendant brings in the
medicine he also brings in a glass of
tepid water. If the drink is bitter, as
it usually is, the patient can eat some
of the raisins to remove the taste,
while with the water he rinses his
mouth and throat. Then he is ready to
60 home, returning the next day for
another examination and dose.-Cham-

Bee comb or beeswaX, the material
of which the honey cells In The beehive

system Of chemistry carried on in the
"waX pockets" which are located in
the abdomen of all working bees. 1t is
a peculiar substance and is said to be
analogous to the fats Of higher ami
mails. Originally it was supposed that
this wax was taken up In an almost
pure state from the flowers by the
bees, but recent experiments carried on
