AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A yery important ruling was made

A very important ruling was made by
Judge Reed in the district court here yes
terday, involving the powers of grand
juries. 1t seems to have been the inn
preston in some quarters that the prin-
cipal business of grand juries is to attend
to violators of the prohibition law, and
the ordinary criminal cases have been
tried on information of the county attor-
neys. A criminal case brought here
from Cowley county came up for hear
ing yesterday, in which the defense was
represented by Hon. w. P. Hackney and
Mr.. Henderson Of Winfield. These gen.
tlemen moved to quash the Indictment
on the ground that the defendant was
being tried on an information filed by
the county attorney of Cowley county
during the time the grand jury were in
session in Cowley county and that the
case was not presented to them. MIR.
Henderson made a lengthy argument
in favor of the motion, in which
he claimed that county attorneys have
no right to ignore grand juries. He was
followed by the county attorney Of Cow
ley county and County Attorney Jones,
of this county, both gentlemen claiming
that county attorneys might prosecute
either on an Indictment of the grand
jury or upon information. A large num-
Der of authorities were cited by each
side. The impression outside the bar
seemed to be that the county attorneys
had the best of the argument, but when
Judge Reed required an hour and a half
for deliberation good deal of interest
was excited. When the time was up
and Judge Reed took his place to deliver
his opinion a large number of lawyers
were seated inside the bar, and quite
crowd OF people occupied the court
room.
Judge Reed delivered an exhaustive
opinion, taking up the authorities pre-
scented and disposing of each in its order.
During the time-about half an hour
that Judge Reed was delivering his
opinion there was the utmost quiet
The lawyers listened with profound
attention, and the people in the
back part of the house leaned forward
and many made ear trumpets of one
hand in their effort to catch every word.
Judge Reed sustained the motion and the
following are the points decided:
First-That all cases of felony must be
tried ON Indictment of the grand jury at
terms of court having grand jury.
Second-If criminal case is sent from
a justice court to the district court, and
grand jury sits after the preliminary
trial and prior to trial in the district
court, the case must be presented to the
grand jury.
Third-That defendant has right to
object to a grand Ijuryman for incom-
potency.
Many were heard to speak in praise of
Judge Reed after the decision. He SEEM
ed to have impressed the crowd as being
a great judge. Hon. w. P. Hackney
said Judge Reeds reasoning was able
and simply ungetoverable.
Assistant Attorney General Hallowell
sat in front of the judges stand with a
pair of clutches standing upright by his
side. This was the first time he had
been in the court room since his injury
two weeks ago. After the court adj
journed, to a crowd of friends, Col. Hal
lowell said, ''that opinion Of Judge
Reeds was clear, distinct, and an able
opinion.

A party of Boston excursionists are in
Denver and are said to be dreadfuIly
stuck on the town: not on its attractive
ness and promise for the future in a bust
ness way, but in the mud in the streets,
which is represented to be over a foot
deep. The local papers cheerily allude
to the mud and weather as evidences of
the generous hospitality that awaits the
eastern visitor. The Bostonians left the
hub to get out of such horrible weather
and they no doubt felt the fates were
against them when they struck Denver.
One of the party came to Wichita
and stopped for day or two, and learn
ing of the misfortune of his companions
in Denver fastened to their rescue and
will bring them down into the sunshine
of the Peerless Princess as soon as they
can be gotten out of the mud in Denver.

If Mr.. Randall had had the real in
terests of the largest number of people
we might say the whole people-at heart
in the preparation of his tariff bill, in
stead of a desire to concilitate a very
few, comparatively, he would have
included refined sugar among the
articles proposed to be transferred to the
free list, or at least largely reduced the
rate of import duty thereon. Such an
act as that would not only materially
reduce the price to consumers of an
article of prime necessity, but it would
knock into smithereens the sugar trust
that rests as an incubus upon the COM
merce of the country in that and con-
tingent articles. But the Randall bill
nor Mills bill are yet enacted into law
and will not be in their present shape.

Popular Lectures in America.

In one sense the popular lecture is not
as deeply rooted as number of ''institu-
tons we could mention. but it is never
theless Yankee institution" We do
not have score of lectures in winter
season attracting crowds of people to ly-
ceums. but the platform is not vacant.
In hundreds of small towns the popular
lecture is part Of the winter entertain
ment The humorists are always IN de-
nand- The order is always represented.
When one wit dies another takes his
place. Josh Billings was not in request
more than Bill Nye or Burdette is today.
One thing is noticeable. The popular
lecture must not be too instructive. Your
American audience does not yearn for in
formation. A very little substance goes
a long way. and trife too much will
thin out the largest audience. The popu-
lar lecturer today must be new man. or
ne must entertain The average audi
ence does not care penny for gifted or
cultivated main. They want somebody
who possesses pecuharities that amuse,
or whose oddities and ideas appeal to
their sense of humor. The FITS" are
rare, but it is curious to note that when
