Sioux City's Methot
tract Young Men
Meetings
to
to
At-
Sioux City Journal. 5: No more
deep religious talks at the Young Mens'
Christian assocation ou Sunday after
noons. The edict has been issued by
Secretary James A. Whitmore, and it
goes. "These meetings have just sim
ply got to be tetter.'' was the way be
put it.
Beginnina: with next Sunday an or*
chestra will take its place in the lobby
at 2 30 o'clock and will play popular
music—the re: 1 live, blood-quickening
music that pleases. The concert will
lust an hour and will be free to any
one that carcs to come and listen.
It will be umsic worth listening
to. If thought desirable, some sacred
music will be interspersed, but it
Will be music that the public likes to
(lave and that the young men will
tome to hear. Otherwise it doesn't go
with tbe new secretary, who is some
thing of a "live one" himself.
At 3:30 o'clock the orchestra will
adjourn to the assembly room and there
play a concert which wi'l last fifteen
minutes. This will precede the after
noon meeting for men. And the style
of the meeting is to be a radical depar
turo No more deeply theological ad
dresses. Dry talks are under the ban.
Live discussions of live topics will be
tbe issue of the dav—real good stuff
that any young man would be interest
ed in and take w part in discussing.
Here are some of the subjects that
will be thrashed out: "Betting, Doe«
It FayV" "Young Men and Money,"
The Theater," "The Sunday News
paper," "IB Lying Ever JustifiableV"
and other equally as interesting topics.
Everybody will be expected to express
their views.
Secretary Whit more says that the
Sunday afternoon meetings have not
leen attended because they did not in
terest the young men. In the new
scheme he thinks he has found some
thing that will interest them. Next
Sunday tne new idea will be given its
trial. So don't be surprised if you
hear an orchestra next Sunday in the
Y. M. C. A. building playing, "Waltz
Me Around Again Willie," and if the
musical ciitics are not satisfied, Mr.
Whitmore will insist that the orchestra
play something tbat will suit.

POOR LOSER
In Poker Game Gets Decision
—All Player* are
Liable
WaLertown, Feb. 5.—A suit brought
by O. W. Kuhn against Charles Root
to recover money lost at poker, tb(
plaintiff ^recovering the sum (#2.")
which it was shown had actually beeu
paid to Root tbrougn a check, has
created some stir within the circle
of men who habitually indulge
tbe great American pastime. Suit
was brought nnder the law of 190
which provides that a man who has
lost money at gambliug at cards may
recover the whole sum lost from any
player who sat in the game, whether
or not the man sued actually re
ceived the plaintiff's money. Root
was the proprietor of the place, and
Kuhn claims to have lost about $300
and he alleges that he would have
stood pat all right had be been given
a square deal in the winnings, but be
claims that after he had properly won
a hand, according to the rules of the
game, Root refused to allow the loser
to band over the jackpot. If this
provision is held valid by the higher
courts, should the case go there, it is
believed that it will serve as a deter
rent to many men of means who occa
sionally take u
1
fling" at cards.
Another case of some importance,
which, if sustained by the higher
courts, may serve as a precedent, is
that of tbe Business Men's union, or
commercial club, against G. M. Banks
to enfore the collection of a note giv
en to induce tbe South Dakota Central
railroad to build iato the city. The
business men of the city gave |12,000
in cash to the railroad and guaranteed
the right of wav for agiistance of
twelve milts. In order to raise the
money a subscription paper was circu
lated. Banks was one of the subscrib
ers aud afterwards gave his note.HS did
the others, and upon these notes the
funds. Several, including Banks, re
fused to pay their notes and the busi
ness men's organization brought suit to
test the matter. The municipal court,
having concurrent jurisdiction with tbe
circuit court within limitations to
the amount involved, has sustained the
business men by renderins judgment
for tbe full sum claimed.
2-CEHT LAW
South Dakota's New Law Lands
in Two Courts Same
Day
Sioux Falls. Feb. fi.— Following the
receipt here late this afternoon of in
formation to tne effect tbat Uov. Ves
sey had today approved the 2-cent pas
senger rate law enactel by the state
legislature yesterday, attoruevs repre
senting the various railroads con
cerned filed in the United States
court an action to perpetaally enjoin
tie state authorities from putting tbe
reduced rate into effect.
Judge Garland, at the conclusion of
arguments', granted a restraining order
and an order to show cause which is
returnable in his court at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon of Monday, March 1.
The defendants in the action insti
tuted by the railroads are tne mem
bers of the state board of railroad
commissioners, Attorney General Clark
and the ttate's attorneys of tbe various
counties through which the lines of
the various railroads extend.
Pending the hearing lefore Judge
Carland on March 1, when it will
be determined whether or not the ap
plication of the railroad for a tem
porary injunction shall be granted,the
defendants are enjoined and restricted
from attempting to put into eftedt jt
the new law reducing passenger rates
to 2 cents per mile or from institut
ing any action or actions seeking to
compel the railroads to accept passen
ger fares at the i educed rate.
Pending the determination of the
case the present 3-cent rate will remain
in effect. The railroads contend that
owing to the fact that Sonth Dakota is
sparsely settled compared with the old
er states of the middle west a reduc
ion to 2 cents would compel them to
operate their passenger trains at a
loss in South Dakota.
Pierre, Feb. 5. —While the railroads
were getting busy to get into tbe
United States court at Sioux Falls to
day immediately after the signing of
tbe 2 cent law. the attorney general's
department was making a mo»e to beat
them to it in the state court, and re
cured an alternative writ of mandamus
from the state supreme court alleging
violation of the law on the part of tbe
agents of tbe Northwestern road in
this city aad at Fort Pierre, and serv
ing the writs on these agents within
a few minutes after the law went
into effect.
The writ commanded the agents of
the company to comply with the new
rate law or come into the supreme
court on the 3d of March and show
cause why they have not done so.
This move is to get jurisdiction of
tbe case in tbe state court instead of
tbe United States court, if pomibii,
BOOZE 0NTRA1HS
Democratic Wheelhorse Dis
cusses a Personal Liberty
Question
Watertown, Feb. 5.—Apropos the
proposition now pending befor« the
South Dakota legislature to prohibit
the use of intoxicating liquors ou the
railroad trains in this state. General i
Mark W. Sheafe, one of the wheel
horses
"of the democratic party or what
there is left of it in South Dakota,who
haB had much legislative experience,
and was a land officer under the Cleve
land administration, expressed himself
very forcibly yesterday concerning the
movement to curtail one's "personal
liberty."
"I understand," said tbe general,
"that a member of the legislature,
having compassion for the few remain
ing democrats, proposed an amendment
exempting the democrats from the
operation of the bill and that another
suggested that the bill not apply to
St. Patrick's day. but I have not tbe
faintest notion that, in these halcyon
days of prohibitive legislation, either
of these wholesome amendments will
be accepted. I know of course, tbat
such a law exists in Texas, but that
was enacted for the purpose of keeping
tbe niggers from drinking so much
liquor on the paegenger trains, but heie
in this free air of tbe Dakotas. where
health and wealth and intelligence ex
ist in abundance,such a proposition ap
pears to me to be the acme of prohibi
tive fanaticism. It is proposed that a
man can't even take a swig from his
own bottle while riding on a railway
train. Now. suppose ir instance,that
when crossing that wide range coun
try west cf the Missouri river a rattle
snake should jump into the coach—
what's a fellow to dot Sit there, I
presume like a cork in a bottle, and
let nis young life ebb away* It's sim
ply monstrous'. If the legislature
really wants tu promote the cause of
temperance, it can do so in a more
effective way than any other legisla
tion proposed in the last quarter of a
century by merely enacting an anti
trent law."
