before Justice In Chicago. Officers Am
Stein. Miller aud Murtha were called for the
prosecution. They came forward with their
pool tickets In their hands. The city then
Introduced its evidence. The defense
claimed that the ordinance was void-that
the charter OF the city gave IL no authority,
either expressly or implicitly, to pass an or
dinanee OF this Kind. IL was special legisla-
tion IN its most odious form. II granted a
monopoly by allowing certain owners OF
race-tracks immunity from prosecution.
The state legislature did not consider pool
selling vice, else IL would not have given
race-track association an opportunity 10
legally carry on its business. Pool-sellng
was not classified rs gaming by the charter.
The prosecution, In his argument said That
pool-selling was game OF chance, similar
TO any other gambling scheme. and rs such

THE following clipping from the Hayes
County Republican,, IS a tribute to our
former townsman, J. Nj. Hutchlns, and
will be of interest to his many friends
here. Glad to hear that James is getting
to the front and doing good work for
his country:
What almost unlimited power is occasion
ally vested IN one man. Especially is this
true with the special agent of the land de-
partuent. By stroke of the pen, q claim
may be Cancelled: thus creating instability
in land values, and turning once happy
family out of house and home. BY 4 stroke
of tho same pen "recommend that the pat
ness, and creates confidence and stability in
land values. OF what vast Importance it is
then, that good and true men be appointed to
that office. Men that no bulldozing can effect
and no amount Of money can influence them
to deviate from the right, and such man is
the Hon. J. NJ. Hutchins. He has stood by
and been the homesteader' friend, and at the
same time seen to it that the government was
not defrauded. Through his influence, more
patents have been issued in this land district
in the past six months, than in the two or three
years proceeding. He is doing splendid
work, both for the country and for the gov
eminent, aud his labor will be appreciated by
farmers for many years.--Hayes County (Neb.)

THE question of early conventions
is being quite generally agitated
throughout the state, and we think the
idea a good one. 1t is the general opin'
Ion that a convention should be held
about the second week in July. A larger
number of our farmers and business men
will be able attend caucnses and conyen-
tions at this time than any other that
could be named. 1t will AVOID all differ
ences that might arise from local and con-
gressional nominations, and thus secure
a union of all factions on the state ticket.
Let us have state convention free from
local differences.
