Holton Recorder; The supreme court
has reversed Judge Myers' rulings in the
Hast and Kirkpatrick whisky cases. 1t
will be remembered that these cases were
thrown out OF court last spring on al
legged defects in the indictments. In one
Mrs. Haist's first name was mispelled
"Barbra," leaving out an "a" In the
other, the alleged defect was in regard to
endorsing the names of witnesses on the
complaint or something of that kind.
Doubtless Mrs. Haist's case will come up
at the next term OF court, when she will
be tried on thirteen counts. What will be
done in the kirkpatrick case we are not
informed.

A Kansas author Rev. ]. W. Roberts,
Of Oslaloosa, has written book which |
has been published by Barnes e. Co., Of |
Of New York, which will be of special
interest to every reader of Bellamy's
Looking Backward" Mr. Roberts book
is called Looking Inward" and the
plot Of his story includes Mr.. Bellamy's
characters; DR.. Leethe, his daughter
and Mr.. West, who took the mesmeric
sleep, and others. There is not a word
Of partisanship in "Looking Inward"
although his leading character, in his
studies and investigations, from 1875 to
2027, which, by the way, we're interrupt
ed by three protracted maps, of So, 70 |
25 years duration, convince him Of the
failure Of that degree Of paternalism which
DR.. Leethe had such an absorbing faith
In. The book is well written, with as
much Of interest in its plot, as the clean
est OF novels, and Mr.. Roberts publish
ers say there is prospect for immense
editions Of it to be demanded. Scarcely
any reader will criticise it except posi- |
bly,, in the one point that the authors
profession is readily recognized in his
writing All orders for the book in Kan
sas, or for information concerning it,
should be addressed to j. w. Roberts,
Oskaloosa, Kansas. 1t is interesting
as Kansas written story, with re-
markably ingenious plot, and as before
said especially interesting to readers OF
Bellamy's writings.
