FALSE WEIGHTS.

From many cities come accounts or
crusades against systematic robbery
in the shape of short weights in the
necessities Of life-as practiced by the
retailers of those things
In indianapolis the women are up in
arms and have formed league. They
will weigh or measure every article
bought and visit condign punishment
en- any merchant detected in giving
leAs than Is paid for.
A great sensation has been caused in
Philadelphia through the report Of the
city Bureau of Municipal Research
that of 495 purchases of coal, meats,
groceries and produce made at that
number Of retail establishments
were found to be short in weight or
measure. OF 200 purchases of dry
goods. 11S were short in measure. In
one instance a ton Of coal was 4S5
pounds under what the purchaser had
paid for.
In Brooklyn an inspection of the
! ~bushep baskets the hucksters at the
biggest public market used revealed
that rs per cent of the measures were
} short-some Of them as much as four
quarts each. An interesting exhibit
OF $500 Of these short measure baskets
was the result of single visit.
There is no meaner species Of rob-
berry than this, for the loss falls chiefly
on those least able to bear 1.-THE very
poor. who are compelled to buy in
the smallest possible quantities.
j Nearly every city has laws on this
subject. The blame for their violation
lies with the officers who are, for one
reasoE or another, lax in enforcing
the ordinances. Let the public hold
Ethese servants to a strict accounta :
lbility--and there would soon be no
cause for complaint.

AN AUDITORIUM.

II another object lesson was needed
70 impress Fargoans with the crying
necessity of an auditorium, last week s
big music festival furnished it. The
music loving people of Fargo and the
rest Of the state were forced to travel
outside the city limits to find a
tTlace that would seat a sufficiently
Flarge number of people to make the
festival possible, financially.
The officials and the students at the
agricultural college put themselves to
great Inconvenience to help out. While
Ethe armory had larger seating ca
Ipacity than any down town place-it
twas far from being suitable for such
Nan event as the music festival.
"A large auditorium would perhaps
never be gold mine for the promoters
but it would be one of the biggest
the city could have
and would go far to insure the city
securing practically all the larger con-
Ventions OF the state and this part of
the northwest.

inc Of this description we have a hero

Mr.. Hansbrougf1's style is easy,
fluent and pleasant to read; possibly
q little overweighted at times with
discoursive observation. There are
good bits of description, and the hui
NOR is of genial and smiling quality.
The dialogue for the most part, is
natural and is frequently entertain
ing. But to all who will take up this
book doubtless the chief interest OF
the story win lie in its dramatic move
ment. In many places it is of that
very good kind in which the reader
entirely loses himself.

SWEET FOR SECRETARY.

around the city in favor of the selec-
ton of former Mayor Sweet as secre-
ttary of the commercial club.
Mr.. Sweet is reported to have prac-
dcally retired from active business. He
has been taking a well earned vaca-
ton this winter and enjoying the first
real rest he has had for years.
There are many members Of the
commercial club who realize what a
joke the present organization is. They
are specializing whether Mr.. Sweet
could be induced to accept the posi-
ton. Nothing whatever is known of
the latter's attitude He might well
come 1t as congenial occupation-if
a reasonable salary was provided-or
