the guilt OF the prisoner they must under their
oaths as Jurors acqut him.

not concluded when the court rose until this

FOR NEXT SEASON.

Arrangements Uhder Way for the Re
opening oE Lakeside.
The management Of Lakeside Park, which
was so popular with the pleasure seekers the
past two summers, is now actively engaged in
making arrangements for the re-opening of
the park next season. Many changes for the
improvement Of the grounds will be taken in
hand early in the spring. One will be a vast
improvement in the hotel accommodations.
Mr.. Nelson, who controlled the hotel last
season, has withdrawn his application for a
license and the court will grant one to B. j.
Yost who will assume charge of the hotel
within few weeks.
The grounds win receive a general over
hauling and all accommodations will be ar
ranged for the increased patronage that will
be expected next summer by reason Of the
construction of an electric road to connect
with the surrounding towns and enable the
people to travel to and from the resort more
frequently.
The picnic grounds will receive special at
tention this year. Many additional seats
and tables will be provided. radical change
may also be expected in connection with the
arrangements at the lake, whereby the peo
pie will be more satisfactorily accommodated
than they have been in the past
There is promise of several special and
elaborate attractions at the trotting park and
other parts of the ground. The management
has already received many applications for
dates and terms. Applications for the picnic
grounds are already filed and many of the
best dates are taken. The grounds have
secured such hold upon public favor that
people find it necessary to apply for dates
several months ahead.

was decided to let the matter rest until after
the spring election.
