Monday and Tuesday heavy rains
visited this section of country. 1t is
not often that complaint is made
about too much rain here, but the
continuance of rains just now is not a
good thing for the wheat that is about
ready to harvest. Besides helping the
pesky worm that has taken up lodg.
ings in many fields of grain. the con-
tinued rains will so soak the ground
that heavy grain will lodge and much
be lost in the harvesting. While the
wet weather is said to be good for
corn, it also gives the weeds a good
start by keeping the farmers out OF
their fields.

The young people of the Christian

thanks for the entertainment furnished
our people, last Thursday evening.
Little Oracle Hopkins is dramatic

young, and every piece she rendered
called forth loud applause. The must
cal features of the entertainment, by
our own home talent, was up to the
excellent standard our musicians have
established. The popular favorite,
Miss Etka Caro-, charmed the audience
into wild enthusiasm by her rendering
of an Italian selection, and as an en-
core sang 1.-THE Spider and the Fly
with the perfect grace of a profess
sional. The vocal solo by Miss Pau
line Wilmer, who has a magnificent
contralto voice was excellent, as was
the cornet duet by Chas. Hobart and
Edgar Evans. While the net earnings
to the g. E. S. were small. the society
receives great praise for the high class
of entertainment furnished.

The district court was occupied
most of last week in the case where
Robert Bidleman sued DR.. S J. Shaw
for 81 900 damages for alleged NAL
practice. The jury gave verdict for
defendant, and the costs in the case
are assessed to Mr.. Bidleman. The
best legal talent in the city was en-
ployed on both sides, and both plain
tiff and defendant made a hard fight
for their cause. Messrs. Diffenbacher
& Banta were attorneys for plaintiff
and Messrs E. G. Cole, VIM. Osmond
and G. w. Nimocks were for defend
ant. We did not hear all the plead
ing, but feel it justly due Hon. D. A.
Banta to state that his plea in closing
the case for plaintiff was one of the
ablest addresses ever made in our dis
trict court. The pleading of Messrs.
Cole, Difenbacher, and Osmond are
also spoken of as fine displays of ora
torical skill.
