Interest But Gains Experience.

~ Carl Kositzky, county treasurer,
won out in the mandamus case
against him by the county commits
sioners. Judge Winchester fled his
decision Oct. 2, dismissing the aase.
The following are the facts in the
case:
The last legislature passed law
directing the county commissioners to
advertise for bids on placing county
sinking funds in banks on certificates
of deposit and providing for bonds to
cover the same. =
Kositzky called the attention of the
commissioners to the law in June and
suggested that the advertisement be
begun early so as to get the county
money on, interest. The commission
ers, on reading the law, decided it
was not necessary to advertise or
to have any special bond, and direct
ed the treasurer to place. $4,000 in
the Bismarck bank on certificate Of
deposit at S per cent interest.
There is a fine of $500 provided for
violation and Kositzky did not desire
to be placed where such a fine could
be imposed on him, 80 he asked for

FIRST. GLASS VAUDEVILLE
FURNISHED BY THE BlJOU
PIckANlNNiES AND RUSTlcANA
TRIO MADE THE BIG HIT OF
THE EVENING,
All Five Acts Are Of Exceedingly Hhig
Class - Another Performance Will
Be Given This Evening.

The much advertised vaudevill per-
Torrance at the Bijou, was produced
before two packed houses last night.
Manager Vespel man was the recipient
Of many congratulations for having
secured such a high class performance
for the Bismarck theatre goers. There
will be two more performances given
this evening, one at o'clock and the
second at 9:15.
The bill was opened by 1nza and
Lorrelo in comedy acrobatic turn,
and they put across a stunt that was
funny and at the same time they
turned some startling tricks in the
line Of acrobatics.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. O'Brien had a
sing and talking act that is way up
In the front row for that kind of an
act.
One of the most finished acts on the
bill was that of Alexander Won Nit
Eel and Isas Maynard. The story was
an interesting one and the parts were
extraordinarily well taken. The act
was along the comedy lines and took
the house in great shape.
The Rusticana Trio have been here
before and received an ovation when
they appeared on the stage. They
were recalled time and again for en-
cores, and finally the curtain was
rung down with the house still calling
for more.
The last act and the hit of the show
was Josephine Gassman and her
Pickininnies. They took the house
by storm and were compelled to re-
-apand to encore after encore.
/ Those who did not attend last even
ing are guaranteed a first class time

tire lower floor is Is cents, and 10

on the matter. The attorney general
decided that the commissioners must
advertise and an additional bond
must be given, y ".'.'sT.@ =
4 The commissioners, believing the
attorney general to be wrong, direct
ed States Attorney Stevens to begin
mandamus proceedings, which he did.
The hearing took place on Septem-
Der 4, States Attorney Stevens ap-
pearing for the commissioners, and
Newton and Dullam for thine county
treasurer. The latter made a motion
to quash the writ of .mandamus. On
October 2 Judge Winchester filed his
order quashing the writ. The Judges
ruling sustains Attorney General Mil
Ter in his opinion on which the treas
urer acted -: 49,. j,
The commissioners will have to ad-
vertise just as city councils and COM
missioners, and boards of education
do, for bids for deposits of sinking
funds.
Additional bonds must he given If
the bond already in effect on general
deposits is not sufficient to cover the
additional. deposits
; At the time the commissioners or
dered this money deposited the Bis
marck bank had county deposits equal
to the amount Of its bond and the
extra $4,000 would have been W.
secured. The treasurer could not
obey an order that would subject him
to criminal prosecution.
The matter is settled for good and
though $3.50 interest has been lost to
the county it is worth it to know the
law on these matters.

FISH THAT WALK.

Climbing Perch Travel Over Land
From Water to Water.
1t may seem absurd to speak OF fishes
a. walking. The flying fsh is well
known. but its fight looks much like
swimming in the air. We naturally
think of fishes as living always in
water, as being incapable, in fact. Of
living anywhere else. But nature main
tains no hard aud fast lines Of distinc-
ton between animal life which belongs
to the land and that which belongs to
the water. If we eau believe the ac-
that traverse dry land.
It is reported that DR.. Francis Day
Of India has collected data Of several
instances Of the migration Of fishes by
land from one piece Of water to an
other.
A party of English officers were upon
one occasion encamped In certain
part Of India when their attention
was attracted by rustling sound In
the grass and leaves. Investigation
showed it to be caused by myriads OF
little fishes that were making for one
direction and were passing slowly on.
There we're hundreds of them moving
by using their side and small fins as
feet, now upright, now falling down,
squirming. bending. rolling over, re-
gaining their finny feet and again
pressing on.
These fishes were the famous climb
ing perch, and they were passing over
the country to avoid a drought When
the stream in which they have been
spending the season dries up they
scale the banks and. directed by some
marvellous instinct, crawl to another

Corset Ancient Armor.
A French historian Of women's dress
states that the corset was worn by the
ancient Egyptians. This assertion is
borne out by the figures carved on the
tombs Of women, who are invariably
as wearing garment
resembling the modern cor
set. There does not appear to be any
extant of Cleopatra VI.
the beloved Of Antony. but in one of
the temples there is figure of her

THE FLORENCE PosToFFICE.
Rev. Joshua Relieves He VIII Re-
main i'm Office Another Year.

Washington, March 3O.-Joshua
wilson, Florence's colored postmas-
ter, came to Washington last week to
find out what was going on, shifted
the air once or twice around the
White House. found that apparently
he was good for another year in the
office and quietly slipped back home.
Wilson'S arriva, in Washington was
not heralded, and it was only by
chance that discovery of his pres
ence was made. He found that the
way things stand, with no agreement
as to his successor and with the out
look good for fight in the senate
over that successors confirmation, he
thought the best thing he could do
was to go home and let things rock
along.
indications strongly point to his re-
tanning the Office for several months
unless some agreement can be reach
ed and TO fighr made in the senate.
Wilson, after remaining here day
or two and taking in the situation,
went horne, saying that everything
looked good to him and that as he
appeared to be on top he would re-
main so by staying out of the fight
Howard Cass,ell, who is trying to
land the office, has filed with the
president and with the postoffice de-
partment papers showing that he has
been a citizen of Florence for the
last five years, that he is the owner
OF considerable real estate in sur
rounding counties, and that better
than all, he is engaged to one of the
best young ladies in Florence Coun-
ty. 1t is believed these recommends
tiOns are sufficient to eventually pull
him through, but if he is named and
his confirmation is fought, Wilson
will for the time being be the victor
and that is all he is now wanting.

PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.

The Credit Of That State.

TO the Editor Of The Daily Item:
The inclosed article from a Ten
nessee paper of March 10th seems to
throw some light on the prohibition
problem from the taxpayers stand
point. SO many of our wise political
economists say taxes will be incr cas-
ed IL the dispensary revenue is lost,
that an article like the above is re-
freshing. How any one con figure a
profit out Of business that puts
hors de combat its chief patrons. and
makes them burdens on society, is
more than I can understand. They
tell wonderful tales about the profits.
but do not say word about the hum
dred thousand and more hard earned
dollars that are annually sent out of
the county and State for whiskey.
But they never fail to harp on the
many dollars that they say will be
sent out for the jug trade, IL We vote
out the dispensary. There can be no
question to any fair-minded man that
there will be less whiskey bought and
used under prohibition than under
the dispensary. To deny this is to
deny that the laws of trade are ap-
plicable to whiskey. Prohibitionists
do not expect nor hope to reform
men wholesale, nor to bring about
the millennium by statutory enact
ment; but we do contend that there
will be less money spent for liquor,
less men and women Iauperized, and
made charges on the community;
that some men now unfit for produc-
tive labor will become producers of
wealth, and that all these things will
make us as a county richer in every
way than the few thousands of reve-
nue. from the traffic. All this~ aside
from the moral and religious side of
the question.
