Activity in Real Estate.

There is something doing in real
estate circles in Bamberg. Messrs. S.
G. Mayield, H. M. Graham, and pos
sibly others have purchased the T. S.
Rice property, containing twenty
four acres, in the Northern part of
town. They have also purchased
from Messrs. Thos. Black and w. D.
Rhoad the property known as Warn
ville," which adjoins the Rice prop
erty and contains twelve acres, and
also four acres adjoining from Mr.. S.
D. Guess. .......
This property will be cut up into
residence lots, new streets will be
opened, and the lots placed on the
market in short time. The town Is
waking up on the real estate ques-
ton at last, and these real estate
schemes will be of great benefit.
Many of our people want to own
their homes, and they will now have
an opportunity to purchase lot on
easy terms and build on it.

Auction Sale of Real Estate.

The auction sale of lots advertised
by the American Auction & Realty
Co. came of as advertised last Thurs
day. The lots sold were portion of
the G. Frank Bamberg property, n1:ir
his handsome s!denCe, and while
Mr.. Bamber@ -; lot anxious to dis
pose of this .y-lty. he cOnSentt,!
to part with IL order that thos"
who wanted 10 own their own homes.
could do 80.
The auction company had brass
band here, and at about two o'clock
last Thursday afternoon the band be-
gun to play on our main business
street, and a crowd quickly gathered,
when one of the auctioneers explain
ed the details of the sale. The crowd
then lett for the scene of the auction,
where the lots had been laid off,
numbered, and plat made.
With two auctioneers, the bidding
started rapidly, and in comparative
ly short time more than fifty lots had
been sold, in fact all that were laid
off. The lots, however, sold at what
we consider reasonable prices, and
WSIc Wy PCOplC VI IAS
town and county. Some people from
the country were present and bought
lots.
It is worthy of note that some who
attended the auction with no idea Of
buying, bought several lots before
the sale closed. ..
When the sale was over the COM
pany in charge of the sale gave away
a bag of gold and silver and free
lot. Kirkland Graham, eldest son of
H. NJ. Graham, Esq, got the free
lot. When the money was distribut-
ed, Jefferson Riley, son of Mr.. w. P.
Riley, received $500 In gold. as also
did Francis Bsmberg, son of G..
Frank Bamberg.
Our people are we'll satisfied with
their dealings with the auction COM
pany. They are a clever set Of gen.
tlemen, and no doubt they will do
further business here.
: We understand that the company
has already arranged to cut up the
lots of Mr.. H. J. Brabham, on Rail-
road avenue, near his residence, and
they will place this property on the
market in short time. So look out
for another big auction sale.

The WaterWorkS Plan.

City council and the board of pub
lie works held joint meeting Mon
day afternoon to discuss the water
works problem. It was found that
the town could not issue any more
bonds, and the financial problem be-
fore the members of council for the
next two years was discussed fully.
It Is certain that taxes will have to
be raised in order to create sinking
fund to retire the electric light and
water bonds at their maturity, and
the other expenses Of the town are
increasing. In fixing the levy for
next year council is not figuring on
any income from the dispensary, so
that in case the dispensary is voted
out, the town of Bamberg will not
be caught mapping, as this loss Of
revenue will be provided for In the
tax levy. So, in case the dispensary
is not voted out, the town will have a
surplus, which is well. -
The plan adopted to raise money
to buy the tank for the waterworks
is to borrow the money for same,
council giving this authority to the
board of public works by an ordi-
nance duly passed. Council will also
adopt license ordinance or
business tax on the various
businesses, etc., of Bamberg, this
money to be turned over to the board
of public works to repay the loan Of
purchase money for tank, or to pay
for the tank itself in case it can be
bought on time. The board esti-
mates that the tank can be paid for
in a few years with the net income
from the electric light plant and the
business tax. This license or busi-
ness tax will hurt nobody, for the
merchants and business men on the
main street will save more than their
proportion of this tax in insurance
premiums, as the rates will be much
lower when the tank is erected.
It is now up to some public-spirit-
ed citizen of Bamberg to loan the
board the necessary money to pur-
chase this tank. Good interest Ion
the loan can be earned, and the se-
curity Is ample.

Prizes Cost Something.

Some people seem to think that
the prizes we are going to give away
in our great popularity contest don't
cost us anything. True some of them
are furnished by our wide-awake and
enterprising merchants, but you can
rest assured that this contest will
cost lot Of money. But we have
the, nerve and we are going to do it.,
and we expect to make The Herald
the best known paper in the low

Brother Calvin Garris.

Brother Calvin Garris, Of Den
mark, was in the railroad wreck
which occurred near Denmark a
week or more ago. 1t is remembered
that the wreck was complete and it
was miracle that no one perished.
The switch had been unlocked by
some miscreant, and the onrushing
passenger ran in on the siding,
crashing into fat cars. This is the
fourth serious wreck Garris has ex-
perienced and he yet survives, and I
hope his big body and bones may be
spared many long years.-E. A.

Good for Denmark.

The citizer ; of Denmark, through
Mr.. F. V. James, have contributed
$35.75 to the monument to the wo-
men of the Confederacy. Good for
Denmark. This is more in proper
ton than the town of Bamberg has
contributed so far, the amount raised
here being $3.50 to date. Many men
in Bamberg have done their duty,
others have not. and it would not be
surprising if Denmark took the lead
in this matter.

ing the hope that the vast empire over
which your majesties rule may continue
to prosper and flourish, l pledge this
glass to the health of your majesty and
the queen"
King Edward replied in German,
first expressing thanks on behalf of the
queen and himself for the welcome &C
corded them in Berlin. He mentioned
pleasant recollections of the previous
visits to Wilhelmshope and Cronberg.
Then, after reference to the emperor's
visit ia Windsor he continued: ss.ss>s5S
with regard to the aim and de-
sired result of my visit, your majesty
has given eloquent expression to my
own feelings, and I can therefore only
repeat that our coming is not only for
recalling before the world the close ties
of relationship between our two houses,
but also Anne at strengthening the
friendly relations between our coun-
tries, and thus at the preservation of a
general peace, toward which all my
efforts are directed"
The king concluded with warmly ex-
pressed wishes for the prosperity of
the German empire and proposed the
health of the emperor and empress.

ing to the district court for a writ of
prohibition to restrain the court mar
tial from trying Gen. Poole, as sug
gested in a Fargo Forum article
Judge Engerud said he was not filing
briefs with the newspapers and de-
clined to discuss the subject. It was
pers1stently rumored last night that
Judge Engerud had gone to Valley
City to try secure such q writ on the
ground that the supreme court had
held that its only reason for refusing
to take Jurisdiction was that the case
should have been begun In the lower
court.
Certain it is that Judge Engerud
took little or no part in the case yes
terday afternoon because, as he stat
ed, he was waiting to take a train,
but he was an interested listener
while Gen. Poole cross-examine
Captain Armstrong in person.
What the Supreme Court Meant
A number of persons learned in
the law said last night that the de-
cision of the supreme court, which it
is expected will be handed down to-
day, is distinctly to the effect that no
court in the state, high or low. had
jurisdiction over a court martial, that
it was supreme as to military affairs
and subject only to the review of the
governor, although in cases of SEN
fences to imprisonment or death,
courts could be invoked through ha-
beas corpus proceedings.
History May Repeat itseIf.
In view Of the fact that Governor
Burke showed his disposition, in the
case Of the order from the district
court here restraining Gen. Peake
from exercising the duties Of adju.
tant general, to resist By force Of |
arms any attempt on the part of the |
court to enforce its order. it is posi-
Bile. the militia may be- called out |
again, should any court attempt to
take Jurisdiction. |
