cases which our present District Attorney has
taken time to investigate. and, finding 20
basis for the complaint, readily asks that it
be dismissed, thus saving the county the ex-
pense Of trial. This is step in the right
direction, and the District Attorney should
be commended therefor.

The lecture IN Apollo Hall on Sunday last
by Col. J. A. Watrous, oft Milwaukee Sun
day Telegraph. was one CT the best of the
series. Owing probably to the snowy con-
diticn of the walks, there was not so large an j..
attendance as on the Sunday previous, when
Rev. Father Cleary addressed the meeting.
Col. Watrous' lecture was only characteristic
OF himself-earnest, sincere, and at times
eloquent. Perhaps no other person in the
State has done more in the cause of temper.
ance than has Col, WaIrous, and, while he is
on the question, he has the bal
ance of mind which does not lead him to ex-
travagance or fanaticism. Always logical,
always sincere, Col. Watrous is one of the .
most effective speakers on the subject oftem-
perance in the country. 6
The lecture at Apollo Hall on Friday even b
ing last by Wong Chin Foo, the Heather Mis-, 4
slonary, was an exceedingly creditable one, il
and worthy of q better audience. 1t was an I
unfortunate night. sleighing parties had e
been previously arranged, and other occur \
rences TRANSFERRED, but for which this cele, u
brated lecturer would have had crowded Y
house. The speaker portrayed the manners, b
customs and religion Of the " Heather Chi n
nee'' in graphic way, which tended in no i
small degree to disabuse our people OF the t
idea that the Chinese were benighted and S
ignorantly superstitious people. The whole
lecture was not only In good taste, but was
to instruct as we'll as please, and
we cannot but feel that all who could not and
lid not listen to it we're deprived Of q real Q
pleasure.
Some time ago George La Marsh was
brought before Justice Stebbins, on complaint :
If VIM. Hartung, on the charge of malicious
injury to building, and fined $50 and costs. q
The defendant took an appeal to the Circuit Z
Court, and fled with said Court an affidavit Il
or removal Of case to another place, on the
ground Of prejudice, whereupon the District
Attorney went before the County Board and
stated there was not, in his judgment, evil
lence enough in the case to convict, and
hey ordered him to settle, providing the
,osts were paid. On considering the matter,
md not being a man of wealth, defendant
bought it less trouble and expensive to pay
he costs of the Justice Court and thereby IL
put an end to what he considers malicious o
prosecution, and said defendant paid the
costs mot including the fine of $25), and s
holds the receipt Of the District Attorney in r
'ull settlement, as per order of the County I
Board
