built from Pierre to Rapid City, re-
port every thing getting along all
right and that they will have force
of men at work on the line as soon
as tho weather is fit, with an as
surance that it will continue 80. 1t
is the intention of this company to
build main line to Rapid City, and
extend branches to the principal
points west Of the river. These lines
in connection with the private ranch
lines in this part Of the state, and
the lines east from Pierre to all
parts of the state, will give SER
vice that will be appreciated. We
understand that Bert Loveall, who
has claim on telegraph creek, has
been secured by the company as one
of it's foremen on construction work.
Rapid City is blessed with about
tho worst pack of rowdy boys ofany
town in the Hills. The latest otfense
Of these young outlaws is the total
destruction of the cast iron gilded
boot sign belonging to Geo. Berry,
the shoemaker. Last Friday or Sat
urday night the boot was torn from
its fastenings and literally smashed
into pieces. The boot was fine one
and cost some $50. 90, and, of course,
is total loss to Mr.. Berry. The
officers are on the track OF the hood
lums and if apprehended they will
get lesson that will last them
awhile.
| The county commissioners met in
special session this week to install
Bob Rudisill, our new county auditor.
The law provides the auditor shall
commence his duties March 1st, in
stead of Jan. list. hence the special
meeting of the board this time.
The auditors duties are many and
varied, but in the hands of an intelle-
gent business. man such as Mr.. Rud-
lsill they will be administered to in
a manner in keeping with up-to-date
business methods. The auditor S
Office has never been plac ed in better

SPEAKS OF LAW
TO STUDENTS

Judge John F. Davis, the States Code
Commissioner, delivered an. address at
the opening of the Young Mems Christian
Association evening law school last night.
He described it as heart to heart
talk" intended to inspire the young stu
dents to enter the course with zest and
greater respect for the work undertaken.
Judge Davis praised the management
Of the school for placing such admirable
advantages as 1t offers before the youth
of San Francisco. Many instances were
cited by the speaker of men who have
risen high in their line by application to
books in the hours most people use for
recreation or sleep. He gave reminis-
eences from his own and other attorneys
beginnings, and told how several Presi-
dents of the United States gained their
education through self-instruction and
night study.
James A Ballentine. dean of the even
ing law school, introduced Judge Davis TO
the assemblage and expressed thanks In
behalf of the school for being honored
by one so high in the profession at the
opening of the fifth year of study. He
announced that the actual study will be-
gin Tuesday evening, and the students
entering the course may register at any
time before then. The following is a
synopsis of the excellent address deliv-
cred by Judge Davis:
WORK WITH A SYSTEM.
The man was right who said genius rs hard
work but work must be done with system.
Allow me TO congratulate the prospective stu
dents in this school in that they Will enjoy
exceptional advantages in this line. The uses
TO which you will be able to apply the knowl-
edge gained here variable: for even IL a man
does not intend to enter the practice Of law

MAY NOT LIGHT DOME
ON LABOR DAY NIGHT
Chief Hewitt of Department
of Electricity Needs Ex-
ira Funds.

A dispute developed yesterday at the
meeting of the Finance Committee of the
Board of Supervisors to consider the vot-
ing Of money for the decoration Of Mar
ket street on Labor day. The trouble
arose over the lighting of the City Hall
dome at night. DR.. D'Ancona, chairman
of the committee, moved that the ex-
pense of lighting and testing be borne
by the Department of Electricity, as
heretofore, and to this Chief Hewitt OBJ
jected The matter Is now at dead
lock.
Chairman D'Ancona. In his motion.
stated that as the City Hall had been
Illuminated twelve times a year in the
past when the funds of the Department
of Electricity were less by thousands of
dollars than this year. he thought
it should be lighted and the expense
borne by that fund.
For decorations on Market street from
Second to Sixth streets, the committee
voted Chief Hewitts department $3.50 for
the purpose of erecting and removing
poles, and s400 for the purchase of flags
was set aside for the use of Clerk Fay
of the Board of Supervisors.
Besides the members of the Finance
Committee and Chief Hewitt there were
present Michael Casey. on behalf of the
San Francisco Labor Council. and Com
missioner Aigeltinger Of the Board of
Public Works.

ing the enforcement or dead-lettering of
a municipal ordinance which prohibits
the ventilation of dogs in a public park.
Besides added the policeman, your
dogs pla cfully chase and nibble the heels
of persons who frequent the square"
IF my dogs" Mr.. Dell is reported to
have said, "chase the buns out of the
square they should be rewarded, instead
Of excluded. for their conduct
Perhaps the Judge might have decided
differently If it had not been proved that
Mr.. Dells dogs pursued and frightened
women and children as well as the impe-
cunious leisure class.
When the little boy whimperingly ac-
knowledged that he was one of a crowd
of little boys who threw stones at upright
citizens, his mother comforted him by
saying, Don't cry, Arty; the Judge will
dismiss you because none of the other
boys were arrested He wouldn't be so
unjust as to punish you alone
His Honor tried to elucidate the illogi-
cality of the lady's reasoning. but she
scoffed at his words.
Now, wouldn't II be nice thing" she
sarcastically rejoined. ito punish my boy
while others. equally guilty, are not pun
ished at all?''
But the other boys escaped arrest
said the Judge.
what difference does that make, I'd
like to know. Is that any reason why
my son should be fined or sent TO Jail?
Why don't you punish the policeman that
allowed them to escape arrestT
'He couldn't catch them"
well, who is to blame for that7 Is
my Arty to be punished because the
policeman couldn't run fast enough to
capture his companions?

Because he argued with a woman

Then the little boy was dismissed.

shouted his Honor.
But the attorneys table Internationally
continued to ventilate possibilities of the
strange case of John O'Brien until sew
eral succeeding cases had been heard and
disposed of.
James Fenwick said he was over
worked and dog tired" when he rented
a room in the home of Mrs. Mccarthy, at
the Potrero. and ere retiring to the cham
ber ne requested her TO see TO it that he
was not disturbed for at least twelve
hours from that moment. as he was fam
ishing for sound and uninterrupted slum-
ber
About half tan hour later Mrs. McCar-
thy astonished when she returned
from the corner grocery to meet James
Fenwick emerging from his apartment
with valise in his hand and evident ap-
prehension in his manner. She fervently
expressed a hope that nobody had awak-
ened him, and he was stammering a re-
ply when from the closed valise there
emanated the muffied whirr of an alarm
clock and instantly a great light burst
on Mrs. McCarthy's intelligence. She was
being robbed.
In the valise were discovered, besides
the alarm clock, a soap dish and a cake
of soap. some towels and several articles
OF bric-a-brac, all belonging to Mrs. Nc
Carthy. Judge Fritz sent Mr.. Fenwfck to
the Superior Court, with bail fixed at
$4,000.
For airing his dogs in Union Square
and declining to remove them, Leon Dell,
keeper of a Post-street lodging house,
will be sentenced to-day by Judge Fritz.
Patrolman McQuaid. who arrested Mr..
Dell, testified that his authority was abb
solutely set at defiance by the defendant.
When told to take his CANNES elsewhere
and never again lead them within the
boundaries of the city's central breathing
spot Mr.. Dell inquired why his quad
rupeds were not entitled to a privilege
enjoyed by human bipeds who were their
inferior in all phases of attractive
ness.
Were his clean and handsome dogs as
much of public eyesore, Mr.. Dell de-
manded to know, as the professional
vagabonds who straddled the benches
and sprawled upon the sward? To these
queries the policeman replied that the
question at issue was not one involving
the comparative cleanliness of certain
dogs and certain men. but one concern
