it for the reception of the hot air,
when Il sudden winstorm caught the
great bag and threw it towards the
flames. 1t caught fire Immediately.
An effort to rescue Siewert from
his perilous position inside the big
bag only served to enwrap him more
closely in it's folds. He finally man,
AGED to make his way to the outer air
His clothes were a mass of flames
and bystanders threw coats over him
to smother them Only the fact that
Mr. Siewert wore gas muzZle over
his fact gave him even a fighting
chance.
SieWert is brother of Mrs. Chas.
Hardin and having his vacation from
his work this week, came to HaZen
to aid Charles Hardin in the balloon
ascension just for the trip.
Mrs. Siewert arrived yesterday af.

sion IS one Of the mos, difficult tasks that mau has ever taken upon himself. they feel that the best enoris of the district attorney will have no other ef- worse instead of better. They also feel that II vice is to exist il were better confined than allowed to ouch upon the lives Of those who are unable 10 guard against il. This is their reason. their excuse. and We have no hesitation in endorsing il as il IS fell that their course ot action is fully justified under the cir cumstanees. Also We have no hesita- lion in saying that their views on this subject are shared by four ffths Of the community. including the major portion of the female units
 investigation reveals that, whatever may be the views of a small and pur- tanieally inclined minority, the greater portion of the entire community is op- posed 10 the contemplated action. Not because of immoral inclination but be- cause ot the sincere belief that the re- suit will be such to place in jeopardy the innocent and virtuous by creating a wider inclination to moral viciousness
 In every way We feel that the citizens who elected themselves te the unpleas- ant task of laying this view before the district attorney were acting. in accord ance with the general wish of the com manity. Ne also feel that il is a mat ter for regret that they were unable to employ more strongly coercive measures Tn impressing the wishes Of the people than mere statements or opinion They were dolng their duty by the commun- tty in expressing it's wishes and neither criticism or censure should attach to their action.

It is indeed most remarkable specta- cle to witness first citizens, business and professional men of the highest standing in the community, entering law against an admitted evil IL is not only d rare sight but it's remarkable aspects are further enhanced because such action happens To be directed To checking legal endorsements against such an institution as the brothel. Not only does such procedure appear most un- usual but Is also open to obvious crit iclsm. II IS 10 this criticism that these remarks are directed Under some con dltions the action recently taken by d number of citizens relative to the red hght section would not be entirely tree from the taint of questionable purpose. II happens in the present case, however. that the protestants. these opposers oi zens in a community no less distinguish ed for d proper regard for the moral virtues than is the average town In fact it may be truthfuny said that the moral standard Of Nome is d trife high er than the average and the men who composed the committee which waited upon the district attorney are also some what above the usual run :n the matter of morality.
 In every instance they were men of the highest integrity many of them the heads or families, the fathers of grow ins children. against whom there can be no suspicion Of moral laxty. Men ot this character seldom oppose the en- lorcement of jaws of any nature, much less those which are directed to the cor recuon of public vice.
 That such men are willing to brave the odium of having their names con nected with an attempt to prevent the abolition Of public prostitution is ample proof that they are thoroughly convinc- eel that enforcement of the law against that institution is determined to the best interests of the community
 No decent citizen is willing to allow himself to be publicly connected with such nauseaung matters unless he feels that in so doing he is fulfilling a duty 10 himself and others. When decent, law abiding men come forward openly and honestly in such matters it is certain assurance that they feel that the ob- Ject to be gained IS of such pressing moment as to transcend personal inclIn- auons No man of moral worth is will ing to go on record as upholdng vile institution unless he has more than q personal reason for so doing.
 In the present instance the men wht have taken il upon themselves to pro lest against the announced determine ton Of the district attorneys office tt close the restricted area feel that sucf action can have no beneficial effect or the morals of the community. Withou exception they share with major DOT ton of the people the belief that mol only can no good come of an enforce ment Of the law in this respect but thai such enforcement is not only liable tC but certainly will lead to worse mora conditions They recognize that tn, chances are ten to one that it vii mean nothing more than a mere trading of one evil condition for another ever more evil.

FAST BALL CAME IS PREDICTED
7 FOR THE FANS THIS AFTERNOON
PARK IN WHAT PROMISES TO BE GAME FILLED
WITH THRILLS.

Bismarck and Mandan met on the
latter's diamond on Decoration Day
and the team from across the river
had no difficulty in taking the locals
into camp by a large score. Mandan
has fast aggregation and are worthy
opponents Of any ball club in this To-
caIity, but since that disastrous game
at Mandan Manager Kirk has rounded
up an infeld that compares favOrably
with the old hundred thousand dollar
combination owned by Connie Mack,
he has secured a heady little catcher
in Wilkins and has a couple of tWirl-
erS on his staff that would do credit
to themselves in any league. In fact
the entire team has been shaken up,
re-adjusted, re-arranged and generally
picked to pieces and built anew and
now puts up u lirst-class exhibition of
the national pastime.
The fact that the two teams are bit
ter rivals will make the game all the
more interesting for the fans and
everyone is awaiting the umpire's Of
''play ball" with anticipation.
According to reports floating across
the river the Mandan team has also
been given a shaking up and is now
represented by even faster crew of
piI!-busters than formerly.
Just who will appear on the mound
for the locals is still matter of con-
lecture, the husky manager believing
in keeping such matters secret until
Immediately before the game.
Should the weatherman decide to
smile today and put up a first-class
article of weather, the two teams will
do as well in the line of entertainment
for the large crowd that is expected
to attend. Everyone is urged to come
out and witness game that promises
thrills from start to finish.

BY "GftL"

A deal of interest is attached to the
baseball game to be staged at the new
park near the capitol building this
afternoon. Mandan, rivals Of Bis
marck in all lines Of sports, will come
to the Capital City to meet the local
team in what promises to be one OF
the classiest and best ball games an
nounced for presentation here. The
game will be called promptly at $50.
The game was to have been played at
$3.50 but to enable clerks and others
to attend the hour was changed.
A win over the Mandan diamond
artists will fill the hearts of Manager
Kinks cavorters, and also the local
fans, with glee. There is every reas-
on to believe that Bismarck can and
will defeat Mandan as they have i'm
proved wonderfully in the past two or
three weeks and now have nine that
is the equal of any in the central sec
ton of the state.
