What the Capital City Newspapers
Said Of Streeter's Record Ia the
Legislature.

S0sOsoS0eOs
bismarck Palladium, March II, 'O5:
Representative Streeter left yester-
day for his home in Linton, and, after
sixty days of absence, will occupy the
EDITORS chair of the Record. Mr..
Streeter was hard worker during
the session. and made many friends
among his colleagues.
Bismarck Tribune: Advices from
the Twenty-sixth district indicate
that the people of Emmons and
kidder counties are very much pleas
ed with the record made in the
house by Representative Streeter.
He certainly served his constituents
with credit to himself and benefit
to them. He was easily one of the
three leaders on the floor-a ready
talker loyal advocate Of matters
in which the slope was interested.
and an allround good member.
Some of the newspaper boys criti-
else his libel bill somewhat. but any
newspaper that is fair and conside.

measures need have no fear OF the
application of the provisions of the
new law. II is not more severe than.

for libel. differs little from tho nres.

PATTERSON
Violation Of the Spirit Of the Law
Providing for Appointment Of
Judges Of Opposite Pollt.
ical Faith.

Last Monday evening in Mr.. Pat
terson's Office there were closeted to-
gether p. G. Rocks and C. A. Patter.
son. Messrs. Rocks and Patterson
met to appoint precinct judges for
the coming election.
Now, the law giving each chairman
OF the two leading parties the right to
appoint judge in each precinct is for
the purpose OF securing judges Of
different political faith.
Think Of it-you who believe in the
sanctity of the ballot!
Two committee chairmen closeted
together for the purpose Of selecting
judges mutually satisfactory to both!
1t is In the German-speaking pre-
cincts that the Rocks Herolz- Patter-
son combination expect to get In their
work.
1t was for this object the combine
made such fight to get Patterson de-
clared chairman on technicality, de-
spite the fact that two-thirds OF the
county central committee didn't want
him for chairman.
The knowledge on the part Of the
voters Of the county that the two men
who appoint the judges are working
hand in glove for the Herulx- Patter-
SON. Rocks combination certainly will
not help that combination in those
precincts where the voters do not re-
quire assistance In marking their bal
lots.
ssLack Of Dellcacy.
If Streeter made clean campaign
at the primary election, it must be
that you are the man that initiated
the present strenuous campaign, by
your doing what you claimed, before
you were found out, was dirty poll
tics. In your circular you speak
of ''Streeter's lack of delicacy In
handling the affairs of others in the
columns of his paper" And yet, is
it not fact that, If the Record want
ed to, it could say some mighty in
teresting things regarding the pri-
vate affairs OF at least three Of the
lpen who are doing their level best
to secure your election? But we are
not going to do anything of the kind.
We never have. In fact. up
at Williamsport, in the old
days, in the instance of one Of
the men referred to. we have fire.
quently been commended because we
did not do SO.

[liazelton Republican. March a, 1901
The legislative session brought out
the fact that Emmons county Is more
or less interested in matters educa-
tional, even though she has none OF
the state educational institutions
within her borders, which fact was
developed by Representative Street
ter's support OF the bill making the
minimum wage of teachers holding
second-grade certificates $45 month.
When this bill was up for final
passage 1t met with strong opposi-
ton; but the championship OF the
member from Emmons seems to have
carried much weight, for the
bill passed by vote of 56-five more
than the necessary 81.
Our member showed that at $45
per month the teacher-the compan-
ion and adviser of the children
earned the magnificent sum of 1876
and board and washing. FOrty-five
dollars per month for term of nine
months (Which els longer than the av-
erage term) makes total OF $4O5;
but, as the teacher must live the 9TH
err three months, his gross salary
must be divided by IL, making his
monthly wage 1876. Take from this
$40 month for board and laundry
work and you have 1875 per month
net.
Mr.. Streeter was the last to speak
on the bill speaking when announc-
ing his vote), and, OF those whose
names were called after his, but one
voted no, and, of those who had pre-
viously voted, several changed their
votes from no to aye.

Grand Musicale Planned.

On next Thursday night, April 3, grand musicale will be given at the Ems ley opera house. under the auspices Of the Pastors Helpers of the Ensley Sap tist church, for the benfit of the Pas tors Home fund.
 The programme is composed of some of the best musical talent in the dis trict and never before in any one con- cert has there appeared at Ensley such a number of renowned vocalists and pianists
 The programme has not yet been com pleted but the following are among those who will participate:
 Miss la Nunnally. contralto, whose voice has won for her widespread rep utation.
 Miss Gonzales Byrne, soprano, formerly of Selma, Ala, now director of the choir of the First Presbyterian church. Bir- mingham. who possesses remarkably strong and musical voice, and Is also a pianist of note.
 Miss Abbie Murphy. pianist, formerly of Ensey, now of Birmingham, who, the musical critics say, is one of the most expert performers the piano in that city.
 Miss Evereth McGuire mezzo soprano we'll known throughout the district, and especially to the Ensley people, as the possessor of a voice noted for it's sweet ness and culture.

Nicotine,' and has rarely been seen since without his brar pipe filled with his fav- orite, elusive mixture. They sell the mix ture in some London shops, but it is not the same. It produces none of the poet teal effects described fin the book.
 The briar is a pipe for smokers. It is made to be filled with tobacco and smoked. The meerschaum is an invest ment, an object of vertu, a subject of hourly perplexity To treat one properly high order of intelligence is required, together with a complete freedom from the defects of the artistic temperament, inexhaustible patience, and the philoso- phers mind. A meerschaun cannot be smoked with impunity. It must be treat ed with reverence and caution. It is es- teemed by moralists and hygienists be- cause it has done so much toward check ing the tobacco habit
 Still, because the meerschaum pipe is as different to play upon as the oboe 1t will never be neglected by ambitious, strong -willed men. It costs ten times as much as good pipe, and the joy of col bring one (rarely achieved except by the most earnest and skillful devotees) Is ex- ceptional Wherefore, it is gratifying to learn that fresh and large supply or meerschaum has been found.

Golden Links Social Session.

The Golden Links held their regular monthly social session last evening at the Presbyterian hall. Possibly it was tLe most enjoyable meeting since the or- ganization of the club. The entertain ment committee consisting of MT. Moore, Miss Jamie Wells and Miss Madge Averyt, prepared most interesting programme. During the evening refreshments were served. Miss Lutie Cowan gave recita- ton in her usual charming manner. A picture contest afforded much amusement as did a debate which followed. The subject under discussion was Resolved, That the Married Man is Detriment to Civilization" Inasmuch as several members of the committee on arrange ments who concocted the above resolu- ton are contemplating embarking on the tempestuous seas of matrimony, it was suggested they got up the debate for the purpose of getting pointers. They sue ceeded admirably for some of the argu- ments advanced were very much to the point.
 The affirmative side was taken by Mrs. O. c. Cowan and G. B. Houck; the neg ative by Miss Esther Lind and N. G. Richardson. Both sides advanced some unique arguments which were very anus ing. The judges after a labored con- versation between themselves finally de- cided in favor of the affirmative. It is understood that Impeachment proceed ings will be instituted against the judges for rendering a decision not in keeping with the evidence, contrary to common sense, and without authority of the law.
 Altogether the evening was most en- joyabe and will be long remembered by those present.

The Meerschaum Pipe.

From the New York Times.
 The recent discovery of huge deposits of meerschaum in New Mexico is of com mercial importance, as the supplies of this mineral in Asia Minor, the Grecan archipelago, Morocco, and elsewhere have been running low. Meerschaum is largely used in Germany in the manu- facture of tobacco pipes, which are held there in even higher esteem than the large decorated china pipes with betass- eled stems.
 Meerschaum pipes are also esteemed elsewhere, thouglfznot by men really fond of tobacco, like J. NJ Barrie, who solemn- ly swore off smoking when he wrote that tender tragedy of the weed. My Lady

Indignation at Dynamitine.

Much indignation Is expressed in Ems ley over the attempt to dynamite the home of MT. and Mrs. Birchfeld at Rut- ledge Springs near Dolomite. The couple who are quite aged, nearing their S0th year, live alone in an isolated place. The old couple are most highly respected and the crime is condemned in no un- certain terms. From the fact that they formerly resided in or near Ensley and have two sons who reside here, more than common interest is manifested ana the hope expressed that the culprlts may be caught. Chief of Police Merriman and Officer Wren went to the scene to render assistance if necessary.

Locker Clubs WiII suspend.

It is understood that since the intro- duction of the ordinances in reference
 to club rooms and the enforcement ct the prohibition law the clubs in Ensiey will suspend operations pending the result of the cases now being tried in the courts of Birmingham. An organ izer of one of the clubs stated that he, for one, was not taking any chances and that so far as he was concerned he was ready to quit. He further stated he was under the impression that the club had legal rights when charter was secured, and that the locker sys- tenn was not violation of the law. However, since Judge Weakley has got so hot behind the clubs in Birmingham and the courts ruling adversely 70 them, those in Ensley have shut down.
