church last evening when he preached
on the subject, Equal Suffrage and
the W. C. I. u" He took decided
position against equal suffrage, hold
ing that woman is the homekeeper
and could not 60 into politics without
losing much Of those characteristics
which make her beloved as a wife and
mother. He deplored the action Of
the W. c. T. U. in taking up equal
suffrage, saying that 1t has done a
grand work and has great field be-
fore it but it is weakening its infia-
ence by advocating equal suifrageYso
strongly.

were in dainty attire and under the
leadership of their teacher Miss
Porter, gave delightful series Of
dances, play songs, drills etc., show
ing the remarkable attachments in
gracefulness Of action and charm Of
manner acquired during their three
months attendance. The kinder
garten has been an unqualified sue
cess and every patron is pleased with
the advancement made by the chill
dren. Miss Porter is teacher not
only Of excellent training but Of rare
skill in developing the child-minds
and her pupils evinced sincere
affection for her throughout the term.
1t is hoped that another term may be
arranged for. Efforts are being made
to that end. 1t Is certain that none
will regret securing the instruction
and development which Miss Porter's
pupils acquire.
Valuable assistance has been rend-

CAN'T COMPEL WITNESSES.
The Supreme Court Hands Down an
Interesting Decision.

There was an important decision
rendered by the supreme court satur-
day in relation to the action of the
county attorneys summoning wit
nesses and compelling them to testify
in regard to their knowledge of viola
lions Of the prohibitory law. The
syllabus by Justice Allen is as follows;
Paragraph 2,54S Of the general
statutes OF 1889, SO far as it attempts
to confer on county attorneys the
power to commit witnesses for con-
tempt on account Of a refusal to be
sworn, or testify as provided in this
section, is unconstitutional and void. y
The case under which the decision
was rendered was from Allen county,
where habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted for the release Of j. D..
Sims who was committed to Jail by
the county attorney Sims refused to
answer questions propounded to him
concerning violations Of the probibi-
tory law. There has been large and
extensive practice in these cases. In
fact greater portion Of procedures in
prosecutions for violation Of the pro-
hibitory law have been instituted
upon evidence secured in the above
described manner,
The statute upon the question is by
this decision described as unconsti-
tutional.

ALASKA GLACIERS.
Descriptions and Pictures in Glimpsea
Of America.

Some exceedingly interesting and
alike valuable information is given by
Mr., Buel in his greatest work,
"Glimpses Of America" concerning
the glaciers Of Alaska, how they are
formed, their size and beauty, and
also the effects which mighty rivers
Of Ice have had in changing the eli
mate and surface Of the earth. On
this subject, among other things, Mr..
Buel writes:
"The number Of lccbergs that be-
come detached from Muir Glacier,
Alaska, every twelve hours, varies
with the tide and weather, but gener-
ally a new one Is thus fresh born
every six or seven minutes, and 50
massive that as II plunges into the
sea the discharge may be heard like
thunder or cannonading two or more
miles away Muir Glacier cmptics
two hundred million cubic feet OF ice
into the sea every day that is to say
40, 900 tons Of Ice fall into the water
every minute and sails away as Ice
