Are immorality and gambling in
creasing in Fargo? The records of the
police Couft tel) a fclory that! should
cause every honorable citizen to blush
with shame and anyone taking the time
to investigate conditions will quickly
come to the conclusion that there is
much room for improvement. The good
name of the city demands that some
thing effective be done to provide a
more healthful moral atmosphere. The
physical condition of the streets, un
sightly as they are, is not to be com
pared with the immorality reeking on
every hand. There appears to be little
effort to check gambling. It is true
the police department recently has in
augurated a campaign against minor
offenders and flagrant breaches of the
laws have resulted in some arrests fol
lowed by meager punishment, but the
fact remains that the moral forces of
the city seem to be pitifully indifferent
to existing conditions, and vice flour
ishes. The city authorities have gone
as far, apparently, as public sentiment
has demanded in the warfare against
crime. The police department has ex
hibited unusual activity in behalf of
moral cleanliness in the past few weeks
and deserves credit for what has been
accomplished. But the city authorities
cannot be expected to do more than
public sentiment demands. The fault
lies with the people, with the better
elements. It required the complaint
of a stranger to cause the county au
thorities to take action to stop gam
bling in some of the worst places. The
developments thus far appear to indi
cate a disgraceful state. Good Citizen
ship, which has been emphasized so
much of late, evidently needs stirring
up in Fargo. Morality ought not to
be on a low ebbi. in a healthy communi
ty.
Gamblers will probably go under cov
er-for a few days in Fargo.

Cuba's treasury balance on the right
side of the ledger is said to be nearly
$4*000,000 and President Palma recom
mends that $1,500,000 be expended an
nually for public works, a definite por
tion to go for road building. That is
a good record and worthy of emulation

It is over forty years sirice Patti first
appoeared before admiring American
audiences but her present tour seems
to as successful as any previous effort
and her voice retains most of its charm.
Patti could give some excellent lessons
on health culture.
The construction of over aoo resi
dences in Fargo this year would appear
to indicate a verv substantial growth
in population. Pettibone's d:rectorv
for 1902 showed a population of 12,048.
It is probable that the present would
show a population of over 13,000.
The advance by the Standard Oil
Co. of wholesale prices of refined oil
1 cent per gallon can scarcely be said
to be a financial necessity in view of
the enormons dividends usually de
clared by this corporation. This is the
eighth increase within a brief period.
It is estimated that this recent increase
will add $10,000,000 per annum to the
earnings of the company.
WHEN THE GAME LAGGED.
London Punch: To celebrate the
twenty-first birthday of a southern gen
tleman, one of our half-penny papers
tells us, there have been rejoicings on
the line of "twenty-one of everything."
At twenty-one minutes past nine twen
ty-one rockets went up to summon to
the house twenty-one people of the age
of 21. The guests sat down to twenty
one dishes, and the young gentleman's
father presented him with £21. .There
were twenty-one dances, and twenty
one songs, and twenty-one kisses. The
party lasted twenty-one times twenty
one minutes. But twenty-one papers
could not be found to print this mo
mentous intelligence.
THOUGHT TO BE INSANE.
Minot Optic: A. M. Verely was a
very crazy man yesterday according to
the story told by the sheriff and his as
sistants.
Yesterday morning upon the return
of Sheriff Scofield s*nd Deputy Shipmair
from Bismarck where they had Jieert.
to land several prisoners, they had ocf
casion to visit the cell in which Verely
was confined. The guard entered the
cell also. For a moment the dement
ed man glared at the sheriff 'and began
creeping toward him in a cat like
fashion. His attention was then di
rected toward Deputy Shipman and he
sprang upon him in about the s^me
manner as a cat would spring upon a
mouse.
Then the struggle began' in earnest.
After a fight of ten or fifteen minutes
five strong men succeeded in handcuff
ing their desperate ward.
Deputy Sheriff Shipman left* wi
Verify last night for Bismarck bt^
the chances arev that he will be recoi
mitted to the asylum at Jamestown.',

STREET STORIES
"I have been robbed of $10 and I
want a warrant.
State's Attorney Sitoith looked up
from a pile of legal papers oVer which
he was pouring.
A tall woman, richly and stylishly
dressed, with a prepossessing face con
fronted him. He thought for a moment
that he had mistaken his ears.
"Beg pardon, madam?'' said the at
torney in an apologetic manner,
"I have been robbed of $10 and 1
want a- warrant."
"Oh, yes, now I understand," replied
the attorney regaining his composure
"Tell me your trouble."
"I conduct a boarding house at
Blank and I have a male cook. The
other day I started out for a visit to
a neighboring town, taking in Fargo
en route. Before I left the house I laid
my pocketbook down in the kitchen
where the cook was at work. It con
tained something over $30 in bills and
currency."
"And when did you miss the* $10?"
"After ftturning home from my
visit."
"Oh, yes, and what did you buy
while away?"
The lady named over a list of articles
giving the price paid for each, which
were carefully noted by Mr. Smith. She
said that she had $2 when she reached
home. The attorney quickly run up
the column of figures and asked:
"What was the total amount you had
in your pocketbook when vou left it in
the kitchen?"
"Thirty-three dollars," responded the
lady.
The figure tallied with those l»efore
the attorney. He thought a moment
He knew there was something wrong
with the woman, and a love affair sug
gested itself.

don't you." ,1

arrange a criminal case for you. You
see the man is not guilty of the charge
you preferred against him when you
first entered this office."
"Well," confessed the woman, "I
ihought that it would bring him to time
I can sue him for breach of promise,
can't I?"
"Certainly, certainly/' said the state's
attorney, and the lady left the office, her
silk skirts rustling in inborn indigna
tion, as she hurried down thfe stairway,
leading to the street.
Little Esther was bright by nature
and had learned readily all that school
taught her. Deficiencies in her gen
eral education were the result of her
home training, or rather, the neglect of
it. The new teacher realized this when
Esther, after several Saturdays had
passed, waxed grimier and untidier.
Then her mother got a note from her
teacher. The next day a young woman
resplendent in feathers and thm.^ s^tin.
called to see the teacher.
"You wrote about my sister."
The teacher admitted the charge.
"Well, my mother wants to know
what you think Esther's sent to school
for—to learn or to be smelt.
A local contractor took a few clays
off recently for a Hunting trip and be
fore he went he made huge promises of
how much game he would bring back.
Last evening some of his friends re
minded him that as he had just return
ed they would like to know what luck
he had.
"Well," he said, "luck didn't amount
to much. Didn't seem as if we could
sec anything to shoot at. Tried hard
enough, but to tell the truth I only shot
one animal all the time and that was
muskrat and an old Indian ^had caught
that fast in a trap."
A Fargoan who takes great pride in
his children has a five-year-old boy he
believes is destined to become a great
man. He bases his judgment on the
child's incessant desire to learn and his
aoparent insight in great things. As an
illustration of the child's ideas the fath
er tells the following story:
"The other day the boy came to me
with a studied expression on his face
and asked:
"Papa, has God got a wooden eye?"
"I was much surprised at the question
and told the child that God did not have
a wooden eye. He looked rather strange
ly and then asked:
"Well, how can he see us through the
roof of the house unless he has a
wooden eye?" v
