of the most diabolical character, being the
direct outgrowth of the license they have
granted.
II cannot join in the granting of license.

sang "Friar OF Orders Gray" and SO. too
was "The White sqnall,7 by Mr.. +. c.

laFly well received for the persevering way

The WILL CAsE-Almost the entire sec
ond week Of cour was taken up in the trial
OF the Elizabeth Keiser. contested will case
which was taken up Monday morning and
closed Saturday morning by the jury return
ing a verdict in favor of the Defendants, or
that the will should stand. As we stated
last week the Plaintiffs averred that at the
time OF her death Mrs. keiser did not have
testamentary capacity TO make a will and that
the one set up was procured by fraud and
undue influence. About twelve thousand
dollars was the amount involved. The
Plaintiffs were represented by Messrs Cof-
froih and Ruppel and W. H. kooutz, the
defense BY II. L. Baer and John Cessna.
Esqrs, The jury was secured without much
difficulty, when Mr.. kOontz made the open
ing statement for his side. Monday alter
noon. Tuesday, Wednesday and till eleven
O'Clock. Thursday morning was taken up
in getting in the testimony. Some eighty
witnesses were examined The law points
were submitted Thursday morning and
several hours consumed in arguing them to
the Court. Messrs Baer and Koontz made
their arguments to the jury Thursday after
noon and Messrs Cessna and Coffroth Fri
day morning. Each gentleman spoke for a
little over an hour. The jury retired at
half past twelve Friday morning after hay-
ing listened to an exhaustive charge of over
an hour in length. by Judge Baer. The
jury came to a decision Friday evening, and
on Saturday morning came into Court with
the sealed verdict. The case was most ably
conducted on both sides. and was fought te-
n~aciously from beginning to end. 1t was
give and take with the attorneys, from the
start to the finish. No civil case tried in our
courts for many years, excepting perhaps the
celebrated B~rant-Dr;ps case, was so closely
watched. or the same degree of interest
manifested. The parties plaintiff and de-
PENDANT are among the counties best Anown
citizens, and both sides we're warmly adyo-
Gated by their many friends. \ motion for
a new trial has been flied, and if this is not
granted. it is generally expected that the
case will be taken tothe Supreme Court.

4 WORD To REPUBLIcANs.-The primaries
are upon US. Attention TO this by Republi-
cans as a party Is by far the most important
duty Of the campaign. Let every man turn
out and declare his choice. Remember that
the men for whom you instruct at the pri-
maries, are to carry your banners when you
are called upon TO meet the enemy in full
career in November. Let them be those into
whose hands you are willing to intrust the
glorious record of your party in the past,
and her honor, her integrity. and her prin-
ciples in the future. There is no hope for
h~alf-hearied Republicans in this campaign.
The principles of the party are active, ener-
getic and progressive. With candidates o
pronounced principles, in whose integrity
the people can trust to carry out their wish
es. every man on the tickets, State and
County, will be elected by strong majorities.
Without such, the ticket must go down /;
and better. far bettrr, for the party, the can
didates and the people, that the bitterest of
Bourbons be elected to every office than
that one Judas be placed in position to be-
tray his trust, With YOU, Republicans.
rests the responsibility. Turn out at the
primaries. and do your duty. The voice of
the people cannot err.-C5m.
