Excise Board Will Determine What
Clubs Are Bona Eide.

Hearings on the applications of twenty
clubs in the District for renewals of their
liquor licenses will begin early next week

night and Sundays and for the financial
profit of one OF two men. 1t is known
that at least one of the members of the
board is in favor Of refusing licenses to
some of the clubs on the ground that
they are nothing more nor less than bar
looms.
The licenses of seventy-six retail and
two wholesale liquor establishments are
now held up by the excise board. In
some cases the reason for refusing TO
grant renewals is merely technical. In
. few cases, IL Is declared. the reports

a FEW MORE BOUQUETS

Parker Is. Dak.) Press: One Of
the neatest Christmas editions
which reached our exchange table
was the Golden Valley Chronicle,
Of Beach, n. Oak. These Beach
ties are hustlers.
New Rockford Transcript: The
best Christmas edition received at
this Office was that Of the Golden
Valley Chronicle published at Beach
by j. w. Brinton. 1t consisted Of
twenty-eight pages and was gem
geographically and filled with a
nice bunch Of stuff boosting for the
town and surrounding country.
Bowman County News: Two ex-
cellent holiday numbers came to
our table last week, one was the
Beach Chronicle and the other the
Adams County Record. The Chron-
icle special is remarkable. Edi-
torially and mechanically it is more
than worthy. The press work is
particularly good, and the arrange
ment choice.
Sand Creek Correspondent: The
anniversary and Christmas num-
Der Of the Golden Valley Chronicle
shows the enterprise and push Of
it's editor. Beach and the Golden
Valley are to be congratulated on
having such paper as the Chron-
icle, and such consistent booster
as J. w. Brinton.
The Wibaux Pioneer: Brinton
Brothers, publishers Of the Beach
Chronicle put out their Christmas
number, last week, in the form of
a hummer" edition. 1t contained
twenty-eight pages, home produc-
tion," printed on a high grade
stock, ana was filled from cover to
cover with very interesting history
of Beach and the Golden Valley.
Bro. Brinton knows the newspaper
game" from A to z and is GER
tainly deserving of much praise for
! this creditable edition.

Homo Loving Mont.n.ar,n..


Nowhere is love Of country more in
tense than among the Montenegrins,
to whom exile is the greatest of pun
ishments. When w. j. Stillman was
there in the seventies all the free men
were away fighting, and he observed
that when messenger was wanted
the official took man out of the pris-
on and sent him of, with no fear that
he would not return. One such mes
senger was sent to Cattaro, in Aus
trian territory, with a large sum of
money for the bank, and he duly came
back. Another asked a Russian at
Cattaro to intercede with Prince Mich
olas for his release from prison. "But
you are not in prison." said the Rus
sian. "Oh." said the man, II have
only come down for load Of skins
for so-and-so, but I must go into pris-
on again when get back to Cettinje."
One prison guard watched all the pris-
oners when they summed themselves
out Of doors. and II he was called
away q prisoner would take his rife
and act as sentry for the time.

An Astroloaer's Letter.


An astrologer's letter to President
Van Buren, forecasting the results Of
his election in 1910 is in the library
of congress and perhaps gives a crude
idea Of some of the fallacies Of our
grandfathers. The following are some
extracts: ''In this horoscope the as
cendant directed to the semisquare Of
Mars would be in operation about the
middle Of the fourth year, October,
1885, and might cause sickness, =
fiux or hurt by wounds" etc. .
II have opened the horoscope for Gen.
eral Harrison, which accords with the
chief events Of his past life and which
II right he will not fill the office Of
president during the next term even
II elected. And the danger appre-
bend to yourself is not from your pub
lie opponents, but from those on whom
you repose confidence" Those who
are superstltious may be inclined to
credit this star gazer with some meas
ure Of wisdom, for Harrison, although
elected, died a month after his inau-
guration.-New York Post.

TO vote. The annexation to Bow

upon by that county and carried by

expenditure Of county money,

To the Citizens If Billings County

To the Citizens If Billings County
Bowman county is again making
an effort to annex q big slice Of
Billings county and interested
parties are circulating another
petition in townships l33 and 134
across the south side OF the county,
having for its object the segrega-
ton Of those two tiers If townships
from Billings county and adding
them to Bowman county. and we
understand they have some recruits
living in those townships ~ help the
scheme along.
The block in question is part Of
Billings county's best agricultural
land and would be great benefit to
Bowman 80 far az tax producing
real estate is concerned, but can we
afford to stand by and see thing
like that take place without muir
rnur? Will it not burden you who
live within those townships as we'll
az US who live north Ut them?
Don't you gee that they want more
land that is valuable for taxation
purposes in order to boost their as
sessed valuation and thus enable
them to bond their county for q
greater amount and build mag
nificent court house that you will
have to nav for!
Now, fellow citizens on the south
can you give any reasons why you
should sign petition Of that kind.
We will admit that 50 far as location
is concerned our county seat is not
very convenient for us down here,
but if that is what is on your
mind, why not work for division
Of OUT own county. 1t will not cost
you any more, if as much. than it
will to join another county that is
still in its infancy. We are not
losing sleep over the matter as we
are convinced that the scheme must
fail. The segregation would have
to be carried by majority Of the
votes cast at special county cleo
ton, at which all the voters in
Billings county would have right

The citizens have for once united in
supporting a local man, and unani-
mously endorsed his candidacy; he
is exceptionally well qualified for the
place; Winneshiek county has had
few If any federal appointments for
many years: and the appointment is

A Wise Suggestion.


We spend every year for force of
oil inspectors from $4,000 to $16-
600 to see that the laws regulating
the sale Of Oil are enforced: and just
now We are paying from $4,000 to
$4,000 Or more for a force of food
inspectors to see that the pure food
law is enforced. / do not question the
wisdom of maintaining these forces,
in fact, they are necessary and are
doing splendid work; only urge that
the state take the same manner in
the enforcement of the laws affecting
the morals of our boys and girls and
the peace and good order of our cit
ties and towns. l urge this because
In my judgment the harm to society
and to property involved in all the
violations of the laws regulating the
sale of oil and foods in the last ten
years is not to be compared to the
harm done to society in a single year
by the illegal saloon the gambling
house and the house of i'll fame. Why
not combine these forces and organ
ize them into single effective force
for ferreting out crime covering not
only violation of law with respect
to oil and food, but these other
criminal laws which are so constantly
broken?-Attorney General Byers.

Decorah has for several years con-

be held on the 5th. A speaker of
national renOwn will be engaged.
there will be amusements galore. and

MARCONI STOCK IS GENUINE.
Dubuque Paper Apologies to Mes.
srs. Kelly and Mayer for Griev-
Gus Wrong Done
Them.

Citizens of Decorah will remember
some time ago reading under a big
scare head in the Dubuque Times
Journal, an article intimating in
strong terms that Messrs. Kelly and
Mayer of Decorah who had been en-
gagged in selling stock in the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company to Du-
buque parties, were bunco artists,
and had been palming off wor >ess
securities on Dubuque people. e
journalistic upstart that would print
such story without at least a SEM
blance of an investigation needs
fixing.
The facts are that these gentlemen
have for some time been selling
stock in the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph Company throughout the
United States. The stock is genuine,
purchased in large quantities and
sold in small quantities. 1t is not
necessarily bought direct from the
London headquarters of the COM
pany, as it can be secured upon the
open market anywhere. The Times
Journal made the statement that it
was not genuine stock, because not
purchased from the London concern.
These gentlemen did not claim to
directly represent the Marconi peo-
pie. but sold genuine stock that they
had bought in the market.
The Telegraph-He of Dubuque
ridiculed the story of the Times-Jour-
nal, and showed through its own files
that their statements were not
correct.
A retraction was Immediately de-
manded from the Tmes-Journal by
Messrs. Kelly and Mayer, and has
been made by that paper, which
clears these gentlemen of the intima-
tion, but the damage done by the
article can never be fully removed.
