No Testimony in Rebuttal.

No testimony in rebuttal was offered by
the state. and the case was submitted after
arguments on both sides. States Attorney
Magruder made the closing argument to the
jury He made an able argument upon the
testimony presented on behalf of the state,
and felt confident that the jury would re-
turn verdict of guilty. AS soon as he re-
allied that the verdict was for acquittal he
regarded 1t as useless to expect a convic-
ton in any of the pool room cases at the
October term of the court.
Judge Merrick agreed with him. The
Judge said he thought the interests of the
state would be best subserved by postpon-
ing the other cases until the next term OF
the court.
1t was while granting the motion of the
states attorney to postpone the hearing of
the additional cases that Judge Merrick
took occasion to indulge in his remarks re-
specting the jury, as printed.

STATUsOFPOOLSELLIEa
EFFECT OF COURT DECISIONS In
MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA.

With the decision of Judge Waddui
against the alleged gambling fraternity at
Jackson City and that of a Maryland jury
in favor of the pool room at kenilworth,
local sports claim they hardly know where
they stand. 1t is regarded as certain that
the Virginia decision will put the ''lid on"
at Jackson City, but it is uncertain what
will be the outcome of the Maryland ver-
diet Had the verdict not been followed by
the remarks of Judge Merriek condemnin3
in unmeasured terms the findings of the
jury, the result would have been easily un-
derstood The pool room would probably
have been reopened as soon as the backers
of the game could have procured wire,
but in view of the courts comment. it is
believed some consideration will have to be
given the question before any thing is done
in the matter of opening the room to the
public.
Local sports who are fond of playing the
races have been without a pool room
for several days and it is stated. have
had to resort to the so-called hand
books in Placing their money. They
much prefer to post bets at a pool room,
however, because they have something 10
show that their money is up, and feel con-
fident that they will get the returns when
they are fortunate enough to play upon
winner.
Views of a Track Man.
Putting up money on the hand books is
about the same as putting It up on the
tracks where tickets are not given as re-
ceipts for money bet said one to a Star
reporter today. There are too many
chances for mistakes when such betting is
resorted to- and the winner sometimes loses
his money. It's bad business any way you
put it, and no good can come from it, but
it's difficult task to stop the betting on
horses and it will never be stopped until
the races are stopped.
"Unless the authorities can get at the
root of the evil they will find 1t a difficult
matter to apply remedy
But for Judge Merrick'S criticism of the
jury's verdict it is believed the Kenilworth
pool room would have been in operation
yesterday had the promoters of the game
succeeded in getting wire. 1t is said that
under the new order of things it is an easy
matter for any persons to get race track
information, and that no trouble would be
experienced by the people at kenlworth.
The taking away of the wire by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company after the
fight was made against the pool room by
Allen w. Maliery, Thomas n. Mohler'
Francis ]. Carmody and others. it is said.
was partly due to influence brought to bear
upon the company by interests similar to
those of the people who conducted the pool
room. Mr.. Carmody, one of those who
fought the pool room, has received the
nomination for the state senate on the re-
publican ticket, and his opposition to the
pool room, it is predicted, will win him
votes,

Jurors Express Indignation.

Some of the members of the jury at Upper
at the remarks of Judge Merrck respecting
their failure to return a verdict of guilty In
the case. Their conclusion was reached,
they claim, in accordance with the case as
set up by the defense. 1t was their conten-
ton that the Maryland Telegraph Company
was organized under the laws of the state
to carry On legitimate business, and that
it had complied with the terms Of its char
ter.
1--WE had no business to inquire of our
patrons why they wanted to send money
away" the defendant told the jury.
He said the telegraph company rented
only the north half of the building at Ken
ilworth, and that it had nothing to do with
that part in which the blackboards were
located The business, it was argued. was
similar to that of the business of other
companies. Counsel argued that the West
ern Union and Postal companies would ac-
cept money orders and send them away the
same as the Maryland Telegraph Company
had done
On behalf of the state 1t was contended
that the Maryland Telegraph Company was
organized for the sole purpose of engaging
in the betting business Judge Merrick re-
fused to allow the defense to introduce in
evidence the incorporation papers or other
documentary evidence. and Attorneys
James c. Rogers, Robert w. Wells and Ed

The Optimist.

Did you ever stop to realize that all
successful people are strong optimists:
The ability to see The brightest, most
promising side, OF any question, wheth
er in business OF social life is one of
the very greatest elements of success.
The kicker or the complaining
character, the pessimist, almost con-
dennis himself from the start as a fail
ire. Look around you and see ii
this is not the case. Notice the dis
position and actions of your most sue
eessful friends and acquaintances. y or
will certainly find them of a hopeful
disposition and hard to convince that
the future has not in store much good
and many great things, of which they
intend to share. On the other hand,
notice your complaining neighbOr and
you will be surprised at how little he
has accomplished in lite and how con :
paratively few warm friends he ha. ,
even though good man.
Every western city of large size was
only q generation ago small struggling
frontier town where ew.hundred Go :
lars invested then would now represent
large fortunes These opportunities
would not be accepted or taken adj
vantage Of by the pessimist OF even by
the timid, but the optimist where he
possessed d little nerve force for stimu
lent, took advantage generally of the
adva ntages and you might now find
him among the prosperous, influential
and wealthy citizens Of his community
if he is yet alive,
Success and happiness to greater OF
less extent are certain to he the reward
of the optimist, Failure and discon.
tent are just as sure, to be the principal
possession of those who cannot and
will not see the bright great future

Natural Gas.

We hear of new artesian wells going
down this spring in every direction.
Every well IN this locality has 50 far
brought its share of natural gas. Many
farmers and ranchmen will this year
put down artesian wells for the sake Of
the natural gas to heat and light their
homes. We are anxious to see a well
put down thru the artesian basin and
enter the great natural gas field that
must underle the water rock. We
are going to see some great develop
ments i'll gas and oil discoveries in the
country around about Pierre in the
near future. Already, our natural gas
for manufacturing and domestic use
has become one of our greatest adj
vantages and yet the great develop
ments along this line are yet to come
durng the next two or three years.
