Can Revoke License Of WoIators.

That the present Lead city ordi-
nance regarding the regulation OF
saloons is valid and can be strictly
enforced by depriving saloon keepers
of their license for infringing it was
decided by Judge Rice in the circuit
court at Deadwood. Recently the city
council revoked the license OF Steve
Batinovich because he permitted
gambling in his saloon after he had
been warned to stop it. Batinovlch
appealed to the circuit court and the
council was upheld.

The Municipal Court Case.
Petition For Writ of Habeas Cor
pus, Denied.

The petition Of Frank Hagger.
ty, Jack Tew, and William La
Belle, for release from custody of
which was argued before the Cir
cult Court at. Webster, January
l7th, has been denied. by Judge
McNulty.
In the opinion the Court says:
In the matter Of the application
of Frank Haggerty for a writ
OF habeas corpus, the application
may be denied"
In regard to the appointment
OF Municipal Judge, the Court is
inclined to the opinion, that m-
der section 81, article S, of the
Constitution of this state, that
teh Judge should have been APP
pointed by the Board of County
Commissioners instead of the
Mayor and Council of the City
OF Ssseton, for the reason that
the office is not that Of police
magistrate, but one of more ex-
tenslve jurisdiction, being con-
current with the Circuit Court i'm
many eases within the County:
but whether the appointmcn be
regular or irregular; or whether
it should be made by the Board
of County Commissioners or May
or and Council, that i'm no event
can the question be tried in hab-
cas- corpus proceedings. And the
Court further holds that the pre-.
sent incumbent of the office of
Municipal Judge of the City Of
Sisseton: is an officer Of Munich
pal Judge of the City of Sisseton
is an officer de facto if not de
jure, and that as such all his
acts and judgments are legal and
binding
In the matter above referred
to, Judge McNu]ty, in his opinion
uses the following language:
81 am Of the opinion that with
out reference to whether or not
d vacancy existed at the time Of
appointment by the mayor of the
present incumbent of that office
that the appointment by the
mayor is void and of no effect
for the reason that the. portion
of the statute giving such power
to the mayor is unconstitutional.
That being true, the acting judge
OF said court is not a de jure of
ficer and the writ should be
granted unless he is such de
J facto officer as will make his act.
valid as to third persons dealing
with such judge in his official
capacity. The reasoning used by
the Supreme Court Of North Da-
kota in State VS.. Ely satisfied my
mind that while the acting judge
Of the municipal court of Sisse-
ton is void and without authori-
ty Of law, yet that he was a de
iacto officer, andas such, that his
act were valid as to third per-
sons dealing with himas judge
and officer

secretary of the Sunday School con-
gress, Henry A. Boyd, presented a re-
port, showing that nine hundred
eighty-one schools were represented

Several of the older ex.slaves pres
ent gave some experiences of their
own during slavery and recited in
their peculiar manner. the progress
the negro had made in their immedi-
ate localities.
Several good horse races were run;
several automobile races, and foot
ball game between Paine college of
Augusta and Morris Brown college Of
Atlanta furnished the larger part OF
the amusement, while the people were
not slow by any means in taking in all
the attractions on the Midway.
An unusually fine line of exhibits
were seen in the Woman's building.
the Agricultural building, the Govern
ment building and the building for
schools and coileges. The Central of
Georgia railroad offered a cash prize
of 500 to the boy or man who pro-
duced the largest yield of corn per
acre in territory traversed by the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad, and year s
expenses at the Georgia State Indus
trial college to the boy making the
largest yield.
The special prize for the cooking
contest attracted a great deal OF at
tention. Sixteen women cooks en-
tered this contest. From two to four
dinners each day were prepared by
the contestants. the judges being
three prominent white women of the
city of Macon. The cooks were judged
on cleanliness, economy and taste.
In agriculture, in domestic arts, in
the Hall of Fame, having pictures,
books and relics of negroes of promi-
nence in this and other countries, in
education, and in live stock, the ex-
hibits were all OF the high water

No liquors were sold at any place
on the grounds. and all the sporting
events. were conducted with becoming
congress, the woman's congress and
the religious congress proved each to
be an interesting feature.
While it is a difficult thing to make
an affair of this sort become a paying
institution, some attention might be
called to the large number of people
employed by the fair management dur
ing the ten days of the fair. Besides
the two bands. there were on the pay
rolls of the fair association more than
ninety people, all of whom were given
better salaries and wages than they
received at their regular employment.

Is a better first sacker than Harry
Davis, man FOR man the Athletics ex-
eel in the other positions. Where and
how does the Athletic infeld surpass
all others of the American and Ma
tional Leagues? The answer: There
are no three infielders on any other
team who combine natural ability
with baseball intelligence as do Col
Inns. Barry and Baker. These three
players go through game after game
without playing a single ball on the
wrong bound, and they are fast and
have good arms. There never was an
infield trio that played a ball that
bounds or "hops" and grass cutters
better than Collins, Barry and Baker,
and It is doubtful if any three play
ers on one team ever played these
balls as we'll.
