Society Reporter at the Fire.

The regular reporter was taking a
vacation and the editor was busy in
the Office, so when it was learned that
on the previous evening there had
been fire in a remote part of the
city the young woman who writes the
society news was sent to bring in a
report of it for the paper. She came
into the Office an hour later with the
following very interesting account:
"Quite a number of people in this
part OF the city attended a fire last
night at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Blank in Thirteenth street. Some
went in carriage and buggies, but a
majority walked. The alarm was
sounded about 9:30, and many who
attended the fire had just returned
from church, consequently they we're
already dressed for the occasion.
"Mr. Blank was not at home, being
out OF the city on business; hence the
affair will be quite surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Blank wore a
light percale kimono and had her hair
done up in kid curriers'.
"The firemen responded readily and
worked heroically to subdue the seeth-
ing flames. Most of them were young
and fairly good looking. They were
dressed in oil-cloth coats cut short,
with trousers to match. Their. hat
rims were narrow in front and broad
behind, and sagged down in the rear.
The chiefs hat was ornamented: a
octagonal brass spike;which stuck up
above his head like a horn, giving
him the appearance Of unicorn.
''When the flames broke out through
the second story and cast lurid hue
over the surrounding Buildings the
view was one never to be forgotten.
At a late. hours,the sightseers went
home, and all felt that they had passed
an evening full of interest and excite
ment. "-Nebraska, Kan. Sun.

Ordinance Passed Providing for Installa-

The regular monthly meeting of the
village council was held on Monday
evening with all members present ex-

Only one matter of Importance came
up for consideration and that was the
action upon an ordinance recon-

compulsory the installation of meters
by all persons consuming city water.

Onamia and WahkOn.

A few days hence the 500 Townsite
company will offer plated lots for
sale at Wahkon and Onamia. That
both OF these places will, in the course
of time, make good smart towns there
is not much doubt. But it will require
time to develop the lake region. Peo-
pie who attend the salessof the town
site company should not lose their
heads and pay fabulous prices for
building lots. There is always more
or less excitement at one of these
sales when purchasers get to bidding
against each other. Keep cool and
get your building sites at reasonable
figures.

NJ MILAN WINS CASE
Supreme Court Decides Point in Bald
win Road Contest Suit In
Favor of Town Board.
This rleans Right of Way Across
Property of A. B. Damon, Con-
testant in the Action.

The state supreme court has handed
down it's ruling in the appeal of. the
town board of Baldwin from the deci-
sion of Judge Giddings in the Damon
road case and the judgment of the
trial court is therein reversed. Thus
the town of Baldwin is thereby en-
powered to build road across the
land of A. B. Damon. the property in
dispute, by paying him the sum of $50
the amount originally assessed by
the jury as fair compensation for
damages. This is, however, Offset by
the costs of the case, for which Mr..
Damon is assessed.
The point which the supreme court
was called upon to decide was whether
the service of the notice upon Mr..
Damon was a "personal service" in
accordance with the requirements OF
the law. Judge Giddings held that it
was not but this was reversed by the
supreme court. The syllabus is as
follows:
A town road order was served by
reading to the party served all of the
original order except the description
of the property affected, and by hand
ing to and leaving with him correct
copy of the original except as to the
date of the hearing, which was
omitted. Held personal service,
within the requirements of section
1172 Revised Laws 1905.
Judgment reversed. Lewis, j.
This decision is of vast Importance,
for had the ruling of Judge Giddings
been upheld by the supreme court not
a legally laid out road could probably
be found in the state under the revised
code. It is also the first case of it's
kind which the supreme court has been
called upon to decide. The progress
of the case in it's various rami6cations
has from time to time been fully re-
ported in the U ZION.
E. L. Mcmillan was the attorney for
the town of Baldwin and Chas.
Wheaton represented A. B. Damon. -

The College Graduates Opportunity.


A crucial period comes into every
normal life, the psychological moment
which, if grasped, brings success. It
comes to the young surgeon when,
perhaps, after long waiting and years
of drudgery, studying and expert
menting, he is suddenly confronted
with his first critical operation. An
accident has happened and the great
surgeon is absent. Life and death
hang in the balance. Will he be
equal to the emergency? If so, his
reputation may be made. But if he
has dawdled when he should have
been studying, if he has idled away
his precious hours at college, the op-
portunity will offer only danger to the
patient and ruin to his reputation.
Everything depends upon the accuracy
of his knowledge.
An opportunity confronts a young
lawyer. In critical case, a fortune
or life may hang upon his skill,
upon the faithfulness which he has put
into his preparation. Has he laid
solid foundation? Is be we'll read in
similar cases? Does he know all the
presidents? Can he convince the
jury? Will he drag into his brief and
plea the wasted hours which he has
put into his preparation, the neglected
opportunities in his law study: or will
he bring to bear a sharp, keen in
sight, born of earnestness, exactitude,
thoroughness, conscientiousness? His
opportunity confronts him. What will
he do with it:
Every now and then critical op-
portunity confronts clerk in store.

Has he been watching the clock steal
ing the time of his employer-doing
dishonest .work-putting in short
hours: of service all these years? Has
ne been Indifferent, impudent, gruff,
or curt to his customers, or has he
been polite and obliging, kind, defer
entail, and accommodating? The op-
portunity confronts him. What will
he do with it.-Success.

WHAT They SAY

y : II
IA noticed the other day an item in
a local paper to the effect that a hotel
cannot be run successfully without the
sale of liquor in it. This seems a pre-
posterous idea to me and it might as
well be said that no other business can
be run without the bar attachment.
ut looks to me as though the hotel
men, in many cases, were making good
money, but of course, would like to
make more, and therefore chafe at not
being allowed TO make it out of the
sale of booze. AS far as Bismarck
is concerned would rather see liquors
sold almost any place else than in. the
hotels and hardly think there are
many in town who care to have his
tory repeat itself--in that line.
