This inquiry by the jury indicates that
they are after property holders who rent
houses for improper purposes. The law
which makes the owner equally guilty
with the occupant Of house has often
been dwelt upon by the press, but has
never before been enforced here.
Its also said, from pointers dropped by
a witness who was before the grand Jury,
that the grand jury is investigating the
operation Of the wheel OF fortune on the
State Fair ground last fall, and the turkey
rattle III tho old Tidal Wave saloon stand
Thanksgiving week. The general expec:
tation is that the State Fair Association
will "catcli it in the FORMER case, but Just
what the result OF the latter inquiry will
be cannot be coniectured, as the parties
concernedin the rattle would be hard to
find hereabouts just now.
a we'll known man about town was be.
fore the, jury yesterday, and was excused
without being examined, but with the in
formation that he would probably be
needed later. This and other indications
show that the work OF the Jury Is expect

Short Prayers.


The value of brief petitions in the
Sunday school is thus pertinently put
in the Conference Worker;
One of the best prayers that has ever
come under our notice was once offered
by gentleman at the close of Sab
bath school session, who said: "Lord,
this afternoon forgive and bless every
boy and girl III this school, for the
sake of Jesus, our Saviour, Amen
SO fitting aud appropriate it was that
one of the boys in the fullness of his
heart exclaimed, loud enough to be
heard by several, ''1hafs the best
prayer ! ever heard - The beauty of
the prayer lay in its being we'll aimed
and hitting it's mark. Let us have
shorter prayers, well aimed, and full
of faith, and we shall have less deple-
ton and more spirituality in our
schools as well rs social meetings.
