Brief in Boyd County Case.
Attorney General Brown today filed
brief in the Boyd county land cases in the
supreme court. This is the case where the
Boyd county settlers, after having been
refused deed to the land, upon an appeal
to the land department at Washington,
refused to move and allow the parties TO
whom the state leased the land TO occupy
it. The attorney general brought eject
ment proceedings and his brief is in sup
port of his petition.
Defends DipsomAninc LAW.
Attorney General Brown In a brief filed
in the supreme court today came to the
relief of the dipsomaniac law enacted by
the last legislature. This law was attacked
by William A. Simmons, who was sent to
the insane hospital from Dawes county on
the charge of being an inebriate He set
up that the law was not constitutional
because it deprived a person of his liberty
without a jury trial and further that the
law had not been signed by the speaker
Of the house while the house was in ses-
sion. Attorney General Brown says the
latter contention cuts no figure when the
records show the bill was regularly passed
and approved by the governor. On the
other contention he asserts the proceedings
under the law Is merely an investigation
and is not criminal proceeding. The end
sought he holds is the protection of So
ciety and the salvation of the person
charged with being an inebriate.

HoRSwILL NOTES.

Election, day generally brings a storm,
but the weather man was delayed this
year, the storm arriving a few days
later. No one is finding fault as there

OF fax, oats and wheat. having built a
large granary. This fall he will no
doubt be able to fill it with the various
grains. Next in order was an addition
to his store and hotel, followed by a
commodious feed stable. This enables
him to satisfy the wants of the travelling
public. ]. o. Horswill is not only a
prosperous farmer and a thriving mer-
chant, but is also a No. n landlord,

PURE GOLD SELDOM SEEN.

Pure gold is Of n unvarying and un-
changing color, but few people ever see
such gold. The kind used as money or
for jewelry has alloy in it after it is
manufactured into the desired article.
In medicine, however, there is one
remedy that can always be relied on Tor
it's purity and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. In its composition is used
only the very best and purest ingred,-
ents, and its increasing popularity is
proof that the public appreciates this
one pure remedy. Therefore we urge
you to insist on having Hostettel's with
our Private Stamp over the neck of the
bottle. 1t always cures poor appetite,
sick headache, vomiting, indigestion,
dyspepsia, la%tulency, female ills, chills,
colds OF malarial fever. Don't fail to
try a bottle at once.

For several days this week bust
ness men of large means we're
looking oyer the city with a view
of starting a large hardware and
implement business. These men
wanted very much to get a loca-
ton on upper Willard street. They
we're given an option on 125 feet
frontage for $4,000, but Thurs
day noon decided that the price
asked was too high and went
away. Five thousand dollars each
for five 25-foot lots is a good deal
of money to pay for unimproved
property, and certainly no city
the size of Dickinson elsewhere in
the state would warrant such
prices. Business property does
not command such prices in Man
dan, Bismarck or Valley City.
But on the other hand the afore-
said cities cannot compare with
Dickinson in the volume of bust,
