At Unity Church.

The members of this church have very
successful way of entertaining themselves
and their friends in more than usually
satisfactory manner. In the basement they
meet on Friday evenings with their friends
and enjoy themselves with singing, instru-
mental music. recitations or plays and re-
freshments. Last evening they had one of
these entertainments and large number of
people attended it. Among the other enter
tainmentS was semi-dramatic play called
THE Mask Of the Year." Theidea of it is a
curious little conceit. Old Father Time, with
long white beard, decrepit and aged,
totters in upon the stage with hisscythe and
recites welcome to the new year, when
the latter comes dancing in. and in turn, the

any pretense and very entertaining. After
the play refreshments were served, and
subsequently music followed. 1t was a
charming evening.

ZUMBRoTA Mimi, Nov 24.-Ever since
the failure of the Forest Mill company
(more than year ago., the mill, situated
a few miles below this city, have been idle,
and the scores of workmen who were for
merly connected with the mill have been
obliged to find employment elsewhere. At
the public sale of the mill on July 81, this
year, this property was purchased by q.
W. Moore & Co. of New York for SO, 000
A short time since this firm disposed of the
property to a new corporation, and this lat

that the mill would again be put in opera

DIES MONIES, Nov. 24.-The usual crop
of candidates for legislative offices is COM
ing early to the surface. For speaker of

field on his own account is Capt Albert
Head of Greene county. who says he is in
the field to stay. BY their friends Maj.
William G. Thompson of Marion, R. s..
Benson of Franklin, j. A. Story of Adair
and S. NJ. Weaver of Hardin are named.
The contest will probably be between Ben

third and possible success. c. G. Noel of
Dallas will run for sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, and Miss Lena Harris of PalO Alto,
late deputy clerk of courts, will run for
engrossing clerk of the senate. Capt.
CASTOR, of Ames, will seek re-
election as dOorkeeper of the house,
and the venerable Father Schrienger will
probably be door-keeper of the senate,
whether anybody else wants the place or
not. No candidates for clerk of the house
have yet turned up. The clerk and engross-
ing clerk are the two most important
places in the house, for on them depend
largely the success of legislation-the clerk
to push business. the engrossing clerk to
see that it is correctly done. Errors of all

Don't want the Tariff Changed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-The Ameri-
can Iron and Steel association has written a
letter to the Hon. Daniel Manning, secre-
tary of the treasury, in reply to his circular
of last July, calling for information regard
ing customs duties on foreign products. The
letter says:
Our present tariff is new tariff, less than
three years old, and we know of no good rea-
son why it should be revised as proposed.
That some of its provisions are injurious to
our people and should be corrected. we admit,
but so great is the danger to be apprehended
from general revision that We nevertheless
strongly object to this revision being nnder-
taken at this time. We do not lack faith in
the intelligence or patriotism of congress, but
we know from some experience how impossi-
BILE it is for congress, with many important
questions pressing for its consideration. 10
give to the details of tariff bill the time and
attention that are absolutely necessary, if
great interests are not to be overlooked and
great errors committed.

DECISIONS RENDERED.
The State of Minnesota. respondent, VS..
Henry Brinkhaus, appellant.
Syllabus-In a prosecution for seduction
under promise of marriage, it is not neces-
sary that the promise should have been ex-
pressed in any set form or in any particular
language. 1t is sufficient if language was
used which implied such promise and was in
tended to convey that meaning and was, in
fact, so understood by the prosecutriX. The
statute does not require direct and positive
corroborative evidence, but simply such facts
and circumstances as fairly tend to support
the evidence of the proSecutriX, and that
shall satisfy the jury that she is entitled to
credit; when there is some other evidence
fairly tending to support her testimony upon
all the facts essential to constitute the offense
it is for the jury to say whether she is suffi-
GENTLY corroborated to warrant conviction.
The corrohorative evidence in this case as to
promise of marriage and as to previous chaSte
character considered and held sufficient Al
though female may, from ignorance or other
causes, have so low a standard of propriety
as to commit or permit indicate acts or ia
miliarities, yet,if she have enough of the sense
of virtue that she would not surrender her
person unless Seduced to do so under prom
Use Of marriage, she cannot be said to be a
woman of s'unchaste character" within the
meaning of the statute In prosecution for
seduction, it is competent for the female to
testify to the fact that she consented to the
intercourse because of the promise to marry.

Omaha7s Murder Case.



OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 24.-The district
attorney to-day called for a special grand
jury in the case of John w. Lauer, charged
with murder in the first degree in having
killed his wife. Miss Minerva Lauer, his
sister, who had intended to leave for Cleve-
land to-day to visit a sick sister, has been
detained as witness and placed under
bonds She was the only occupant Of the
house besides Lauer and his wife
on the night of the shooting. Itwas ascer-
tanned this evening that according to recent
decision of the supreme court no grand jury
can be called, unless within ten days of
regular term OF court. This prevents
special grand jury being called on the case
and postpones investigation by grand jury
until next February. His preliminary eX-
animation on information filed against him
is set for Wednesday, but he will probably
waive examination and let the case go direct
to the district court.
