The Much Mooted Sunday
Closing Question.
TT is AT LAST DEFINITELY SETTLED
Decision of the United States APPELLATE
Court That the Local Directory Con
trolls and That the United
states Has Nothing to .mtu
Say About it.

CHICAGO. June 19.-The decision of
the United States circuit court closing
the worlds fair on Sunday has been
reversed. The government is declared
to have no exclusive right Or authority
in the control of the Worlds Columbian
exposition.
These are the two salient points of
the decision rendered by the United
States court of appeals, decision
moreover rendered noteworthy by the
fact that it reversed the unanimous
concurrence of all the sitting justices,
while the decision reversed was dis
sented from in the circuit court by one
of the judges then sitting on the case.
Fuller Read the Opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller, who reau the
opinion, first devoted his attention to
the contention of counsel for the gov
ernment that the court of appeals had
no jurisdiction in the premises, and
after reviewing the arguments at some
length declared the motion to dismiss
the appeal overruled Coming down to
the main question, the court took the
ground that the appropriation Of
$4,000, 900 in souvenir coins by the
United States government could not
possibly be constructed as charity, or
as a charitable request. 1t was
Simply an appropriation
for the assistance and benefit of the COR
poration. AS to the right Of the United
States possession and control of the
grounds, the court held that the local
corporation was in actual and lawful
possession, and that this fact had been
recognized by acts Of the national legis-
lature. The court repudiated the idea
that the United States had any exclr
sive rights or authority in the prem
ises, and concluded with the declara-
ton that no tenable grounds had been
shown for accepting the case under
hearing from the ordinary rules govern
ing a court of chancery,
"Therefore," concluded the chief jus
tice, s'the order Of the circuit court is
reversed and the case is remanded for
any further proceedings not inconsist-
ent with this ruling.
Was an Interesting Case.
Not for a score Of years has there
been case in the federal court, the
outcome of which has been awaited
with as much anxiety and interest or
the decision in which has created so
much Of a general stir. The advocates
of Sunday closing were considerably
cast down over the result, but admitted
that inasmuch as the ruling was q
unanimous one. there was no a1terna-
tive but to meekly bow to the supreme
authority Of the United States judiciary.

Z stole Three Rings.

A fellow who gave his name as Barney
Pagan, went into Wahlens jewelry store
yesterday morning and asked Miss Tillie,
Mr.. Wahlens daughter, to show him
some rings as he wanted to buy one.
The young lady handed out 6 tray and
then he wanted to see some Montana
sapphres. While she was getting them
he took out three rings She noticed
the three rings gone, and just then the
Mr.. Wahlen stepped IN and she told him
about it, He locked the door and picked
up a club and told the thief to drop the
rings. He dropped one, but would not
give up the others. Miss Wahlen then
went over to the sheriff's office while her
father guarded his prisoner. Under
Sheriff Sweeney arrested the man and
took him over to the jail and searched
him. but could not find but one ring, the
other beng missing. Judge Ferrell
gave Pagan ninety days IN Jail for his
crime.

STEMS clerks came off on the grounds
last Sunday afternoon. The game was
an interesting one from the beginning,
and considering the fact that some of the
boys on each side were novices at base
ball, and had almost no experience what
ever, the game was a good one. Each
side worked hard, and up to the last two
innings it was pretty difficult to say
whose game it would be- At any rate,
