The police department Is making a de
termined elfort to suppress the nuisance of
young boys Jumping on and off street cars.
Last night nine olllcers in citizen's clothes
wero abroad under instructions to arrest
any minor detected In the act of "hopping"
cars. This will be continued untU the
practice Is abated.
Three boys named Sara Seltzer, Ous I.un
dell and James Dworak were on trial In
police court yesterday charged with violat
ing the city ordinances ngalnst Jumping on
moving cars. They wero defended by At
torney Power, whose principal argument
was that the city .ordinance on this sub
ject exacts an Impossibility. It reads
"I)oyi under IB yenrs of age must not get
on or off curs whllo In motion."
"Hoys," said the attorney, who. by the
way, Is also a grammarian, "Is the subject
of the sentence, so a correct construction
would be, 'HoyB under It! years of age. while
In motion, must not get on or off cars.'
That's ridiculous. How could they get on
or off cats unless they were In motion?"

An open skylight afforded burglars en
trance Monday night to Moritz Meyer's to
bacco store at 1324 Fnrnam street, where
they played a "mire thing" game with slot
machines und secured $15 In pennies and 5
In nlckcla. From Meyer's tho thieves went
to Albert Calm's furnishing store at 219
South Fourteenth, entering through a rear
window. Mr. Calm's rash leglster was
broken open nnd $20 In change stolen.
The supposition Is that several thieves did
tho work. A rope was left dangling In the
skylight of t lie Meyer building and two lad
ders leading from the roof show how the
thloveH entered tho building. After lowering
themselves through the roof tho robbers
entered an unused lumber room Htid left
many finger prints In tho dust which may
prove a clue for the detectives. A fllo und

the Instruments used In prying open Mr.

The condition of many of tho roads In
Albright is attrA-tlng the attention of the
street commissioner. In some places they
have been washed out so that there are
holes several feet In depth and to drlto
over many of thcra at night would be suro
to result In a disastrous nccldenl. The nd
dltlon Is hilly nnd uneven nnd the resident")
of that part of tho city declare that they
are dally In fear of some catastrophe. Tho
new grader will be sent Into that section
to do some much needed work in a few
days.
Tn nil j -rourlli Mrppt Iti'pnlr.
Street Commissioner Clarke nnd n lot
of assistants were yesterday repairing
Twenty-fourth street pavement. The
number of places that will have to be re
paired Is surprising nnd the commissioner
and those that figured on bidding on the
work nre surprised nt the number of de
fective spots.
Cement Is being made on tho spot nnd
railings were yosterdny being built to pre
vent accidents from the excavations. Those
who have the matter In charge claim that
the repair substance will be better than
tho original asphalt nnd that as soon ns
all la completed the street will be In n
good condition for several yenrs to come.
The city officials say that the cost of do
ing the work will be 30 per cent cheaper
than the bid that wns offered the council
for tho work, and which It rejected.
No iv n (lupstlim of Title.
One of the provisions for tho purchasing
of the Hoctor school site some time ago
was that tho school attorney should certify
to tho board that the title to the lots wero
clear nnd that Hoctor could legally trans
fer them. It would seem that this has
never been done, or, nt least, never been
tiled with the secretary of the board. Sec
retary Itrennnn said yesterday that It
had never been placed in his possession.
He refused to stnto whether or not this
was ono of the grounds for refusing to
sign the warrant, but It Is said that hu
considers every detail of the purchase es
sential to hla signature being placed on
the warrant.
Delinquent Tnxps Compiled.
Assistant Accountant Frank Utirnes was
yesterday compiling tho delinquent tnx
list. Every effort has been made by the
treasurer, his deputy and assistants to col
lect this money, but the amount that re
mains unpaid is astounding. It has been
greatly reduced by tho action of the coun
cil some time ago In declaring that dtdjn
nuent taxes should he a set-off ngalnst
bills ngalnst the city, but has not been
diminished as much ns was at first thought
It would be. The special tnxes are well

DAKOTA WILL GO REPUBLICAN
Flmires s,oulnu Truth In l'ptlarP'
ItrmnrU ( oncrrnluu Position
of I lie sllltP.
PIERRE. S D ug 2 iPpe.ull In
all his utterances Senator Pettlgrew has
not stated anything more certain than
that In his Sioux City Interview, In which
he stated "South Dakota Is naturally a re
publican slate." He gave as his reasons for
this stntement thnt It "would take hard
work to carry the slate for Bryan." No
man Is probably any better posted on all
tho political turns of South Dnkota than
Is Pettlgrew and his stntement will let
him down ensy when the result Is an
nounced showing that Bryan had no show
of carrying the state a second time. It
would nlso give him n greater standing
should he by any chance secure ft majority
of the legislature, which could be pos
sible even If the state should give s much
as 7.000 majority to the republican state
ticket, ns the present legislative appor
tionment was made by the last populist
leglslnturo and constructed to gtve It
nil possible advantage from manipulation
of district lines. Rut ns the republicans
have secured one legislature uuder the
present apportionment, they believe that
they can do tho s.uuo this year.
That South Dakota Is naturally repub
lican stato Is easy to demonstrate to any
one who cares to mako a little Investiga
tion of figures. Whllo tho fusion forces
carried about half tho state ticket on the
free silver Issue In 1S9S and with It the
Bryan electors by u shnve the republicans
huvo been regaining ground In every elec
tion since that year and there has been
tin election every year. But tho fact, which
can euslly bo shown outside of the re
sults of elections, Is that the fusion forces
hnvo not a county In tho state to which
they enn look for a strong majority to
bolster up their ticket. Every county they
carry with but few exceptions will only
be a hard fight and their majorities. If
they secure them at nil, will bo small.
Tho few exceptions might be called t'nlon.
McCoolt nnd Brule, which combined will
give them more than 500 voles to be cer
tain of. The republicans will have as
many close tountles which will offset the
fusion majorities in closo counties. After
theso the republicans have the votes of
Hutchinson, McPherson, Roberts nnd Tur
ner counties, which will give tho general
ticket a majority of 2,500. This vote can
be counted on definitely on the state and
national tickets and will carry them
through, while the fuslonlstR huvo no such
reserve lino to depend Upon.
Tho only election In which the fuslonlsls
carried nnythlng moro than tne governor
ship, they secured 1.000 majority west of
tho Missouri river. Slncn that time the
republicans huve carried this section of tho
state west of the rlvor on the state ticket
by over 300 und on supreme court Judges
by a larger vote and they are confident of
n good majority from that section of the
state this year.
