Considerable surprise was manifested
on receipt of the news that Thos. BoyRc
convicted of murder about.a year ara.
had been granted new trial by the Sd
preme Court. 1t is understood that tia
decision rests solely upon the question of
the introduction of some of the expert
testimony. The case will undoubtedly
be removed TO some other county for triss.

The TVo7'Es Bond Case.

We have been all befogged in relation
to the Worts case in which judgment was
rendered against the city last week in the
United States District Court at Madison,
not knowing the amount sued for and
entered up for the city to pay, but letter
received few days ago by city clerk
Bieber clears up the mystery and gives all
the information required. The epistle
reads as follows:
MILWAUKEE, June I'd, 1888.
To the City Clerk Of the City of Water
toaon, WdtertO1cn, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-We desire to notify you
that on the 2Sth day of May, 1883, in
the Circuit Court of the United States
for tho Western District of Wisconsin,
before Judges Harlan and Bum, at Mad
ison, judgment was given in favor of J.
Gooderham Worts and others, executors
of James Gooderham Worts, deceased,
against the City Of Watertown for $780,
984.18, damages and costs. This iudg-
ment is founded on the bonds of the city,
dated June l, 1856, numbered 119 to 128
both inclusive and the coupons belonging
to them Yours Respectfully,
JENKINS, WINKLER & SMITH,
Attys..tor executors of J. G. Worts,
deceased.
The suit, then, it appears, was brought
on ten bonds of the Watertown & Madi-
son Railroad of $1,000 each, which with
interest compounded at 8 per cent
amounts to fraction less than $31 900.
Herein lies one of the strongest and most
potent arguments that can be adduced
showing the absolute necessity that exists
for the compromise of the bonded debt.
That it can be settled only upon a COM
promising basis must be as clear to the
bondholders as to.our own people.

SiiCeT' Jubilee.

On the 18th of this month William Louis
Kelly, one of st. Paul's prominent Iawy ers,
celebrated at his residence on Sherburne
avenue his silver wedding. The affair was
wholly private in accordance with the pre-
cautions taken by Mr.. Kelly and his wife
to render it strictly so. 1t was twenty five
years ago on the 18th inst. that Mr. Kelly
and Miss Rosa Warren were united in mar
rage at the cathedral in Louisville, KY.
A quarter of a century of married life has
passed and the two concluded to have
quiet, private ''siIver jubilee as they
termed it. 1t was a family re-
union exclusively, as Mr.. Kelly does not
believe in what he terms genteel black
mail, where person sends out invitations
for silver wedding and expects those in
vited to come with their pockets loaded
down with silver. Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly
therefore took the precaution to hold back
their cards till after the 18th, SO that no
one received card till after the celebra-
ton had transpired. The card was a very
unique one, in silver letters, and read as
follows:
SILVER JUBILEE,
Louisville, Ny, st. Paul, Mimi.
April IL, 1853. April Is, 1888.
William Louis Kelly
Rosa Warren.
Married at the Cathedral, Louisville, KY, by
Rt. Rev. Bishop Spaulding,
April Is, 1858.
In the morning the family repaired to
the cathedral where they had a mass, and
then spent the day in celebrat-
ing the pleasant occasion in their quiet
home.

DRAW POKER
Ha,r i Aaec.s piferent hdiria..al..

HOr u AVecss D.VeleHf i.usV""uts.
Draw poker is a most fascinating, yet de
ceiying game. One of the peculiarities of
the game is that the beginner, as soon as he
finds out that one certain kind of hand
beats another, and that bluff, ifsuccessiul,
beats any hand, he thinks that he can play
the game better than any man. If he
holds poor hand once, and bets big on it
and scares out an old veteran, when he
rakes in the money he cocks his hat on one
side and thinks how rich he might have
been if he had learned toplay poker before.
lie wonders why everybody does not give
up business and play poker and get rich.
As he counts over the chips he has won 50
easily By simple display of nerve, he says
to himself: "This game is good enough for
yours truly. Henceiorth hard work and mo
will dissolve partnership" He keeps on
playing. When he wins his hat is cooked
on one side, and when he loses he wears 1t
straight. At first it is one side most of the
time. then he gets to wearing it straight
pretty frequent, until finally he loses every
dollar he has got and goes out and clubs
himself. Countrymen who think they can
play pretty good game of poker, find
themselves in large cities, and they are not
contented till they get into game, and
nine times in ten they get 80 eyerlastingly
scooped that they can't tell their names till
they look at them pasted inside their hats.
However good a man plays, there is always
somebody that plays better, and they are
always laying for the fellow that can't play
as we'll as they can, while the eountryman
is always laying FIR some one that can
play better. There is no game tettcr cal
cuated TO take the conceit out of a man
than poker We have had it taken out OF
us seyenty-Gye dollars worth by cuss that

4 man has to have the concet taken out
Of him about eleven times before il will
stay out. but after he has once got it eradl-
Gated from the system he never catches 10
again. lie can live right amongst 1T,
where all around him are down with 1t,
and he will not take it, not if he knows
himself 1t is as though he had been vac
cinated, and very likely he has. If you
have an idea you are good poker player
there is no help for you till you get the con-
ceitworked out Of you, and the sooner you
get II out the better. Some get 1t out by
losing hundred dollars, Others have to lose
a farm or house and lot. In some cases It
takes years to get it out, and ir other cases
il can be got out in one evening DO not
delay having it taken out, as long AZ your
system is in tho condition to retain the
seeds of the disease, bat hunt for games
that you can get into, till you lose enough,
then call yourself monumental, colossal,
diabolical, enigmatical ass, and jump the
game. You will never think as much OF
yourself after It ia over as you did before,
but you will be worth more to society.

In the dim light Of the musty fact that
Spain imprisoned Christopher Columbus and
let one Americus Vespucius get entirely a.
way with his fame, it is rather cheeky, we
think, for that country to be already taking
the lead in honoring the 40Oth anniversary
of the discovery of America in 1892. A lit
tie modest hesitancy in the matter would
look somewhat better.
