Rev. DR.. Hicks finds considerable difficulty In
making out his charge that he was libeled by THE
EVENING STAR In the matter OF the Guiteau bones.
His declaration set out the alleged libel, and the
counsel for the newspaper demurred. alleging that
even II all he set out were so, he had no cause for
action. This demurrer was sustained by the court
The declaration was again amended and again
found insufficient, and on q further amendment,
the declaration still In the opinion of the court
showed no cause for libel suit, and leave was
granted for yet further amendment. The coun-
sci for The STAR demurFed to the fourth declara-
tfon as they had done TO the first that it showed
no reason why Mr.. Hicks should summon THE
STAR into court, and this view was maintained to
day by Judge Hagner, who sustained the de-
murrer. Judge Hagner did not see how question
whether the district attorney had heard that DIR.
Hicks wanted 81 600 before the bones could be ar-
ticuated" could be sufficient to sustain the nbelouS
innuendo that he wanted to sell the body. He
gave the plaintiff leave to amend again, and the
case VIII come on at the fall term.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE TRorBLEs-A FAVORABLE
BANK STATEMENT.
11:2O am.-Dry goods men say that the main
cause OF uneasInesS is due TO over production by

The bank statement is generally expected TO be q
favorable one. Bank officers report that the de-
mand from the west for the purpose OF moving the
