The Philadelphia Times has the
following to say of John X. Cumpson,
who is to appear at Harper's theatre
next Friday evening in 1.-The Merry
Cobbler" as q benefit to the Jones
family:
1.-The Merry Cobbler" is the title
of bright. romantic comedy that
was given its initial representation
before a delighted audience. John
X. Cumpson, clever dialect actor
and singer, made a hit i'm his dual
role Of Franz. the cobbler, and Lena,
a German girl. a disguise which he
adopts in foiling the Vaccinations of
the villain Of the piece. Many of his
songs were enthusiastically encored,
and the musical and dancing novel;
ties in which the entire company took
part. brought out unstinted ap-
plause. The scene of the play is
laid in New Orleans. and the stage
and the mechanical effects were skill
fully handled.

someone to secure the proposed en-

A NEW PHASE.
Sensational Development in
the Stevens Case.
IMPORTANT AFFIDAVIT SUBMITTED

~~"" As""o@ SWeoN IN Outsioor Was
with the Jsry Daring Its Deliberations
snd That He wss Influenced Motions to
Set Aside the verdsct-The Arguments
Being Made.
The Stevens criminal assault case
in which the defendant was convicted
at the last session of court and
penitentiary sentence recommended
by the jury, took a sensational turn
in the circuit court this afternoon.
The arguments for a new trial were
started, when an affidavit signed bv
John Mannheim, one of the jurors in
the case, and subscribed and sworn
to before George F. Roth, notary pub
lie. was introduced, and upon the
strength OF this the entire jury had
been summoned to appear in the
court house. From Manheim's afii-
dayit it appears that man named
Stoddard had communication with
the jury while the case was being
tried.
The Amdavit.
The affidavit is as follows:
''John Mannheim. being first duly
sworn on his oath, says that he was
one of the jurors in the trial of w.
f. Stevens, for assault with intent to
rape; that after the jury was i'm
panneled, and before the case was
submitted to the jury for decision,
one George Stoddard was permitted
by the bailiff in charge Of the Jurors
to associate with them, and play cards
with them for about three-fOurths of
an hour; that after the case was SUBJ
mitted to the jury for final decision,
and the jury was unable to agree on
verdict affiant. and some 9TH
ers OF the jury wanted to be
taken into the court for further
instructions, when he. affiant, was
informed by the bailiff in charge that
he could not be taken to the court !;
that the jury would have to agree
either guilty or not guilty, if it
had to stay another week. That af1i-
ant was ignorant of his real duty or
his rights rs a juryman and sup
posed he had to agree either to a YER
dict Of guilty or not guilty. and be-
ing of that impression from the re-
marks of the bailiff, he did agree to
a verdict of guilty. although he had
commended up to that time that the
defendant was not guilty of assault
with intent to commit rape
JOHN MANNHEIM.
GEORGE F. Roth, Notary Public.
The affidavits of William Jackson
and G. w. Wood, attorneys for the
defense. are also submitted to the
same effect, with the exception that
Stoddard talked to the jury on May
26. and that the jury was in charge
of bailiffs.
The defense prayed upon the
strength of these afiidavits to set
aside the verdict and grant new
trial, but the states attorney moved
to strike the afiiidavits from the rec
ords. The arguments are being
made by counsel this afternoon.
Court Cuttings.
Judge Smith this morning over
ruled the motion for a new trial in
the case of Molly Burk, charged with
having in her possession counterfeit
dies. She was found guilty at the
last term of court and sentenced to
one wear in the penitentiary.

Joseph D. jackson was born in
Blanchard, Ohio, in 1858, and spent
the early part of his life in that town.
In 1866 he moved with his parents to
Defiance, Ohio, where he attended
school until 1873, after which he
moved to Dunlap, Iowa, and there en-
tered the general mercantile store of
R. B. Hills, holding that position for
seven years. Following that he went
to Gowrie, Iowa, and spent the next
four years of his life in general store
at that place. In 1884 he went to Ro-
chester, Mimi, and in the store of A.
Nelson acted as buyer and general
manager of that large establishment
for two years. Following that he went
to Aitkin, Mimi, where he ran sup
ply store for the men engaged in the
pineries at that place, working at that
place until 1888, when Wyman, Part
ridge " Co., OF Minneapolis, hearing
of his rustling qualities, engaged him
to go on to the road, a position he has
held ever since, and in which he has
ranked near the head of the best sales
men of that house. In 1889, desiring
to get into the center of his territory,
he removed to Redwood Falls, and
has lived here ever since. In the
spring of the present year he pur
chased the millinery store of T. B..
and M. A. Mulligan, and aside from
increasing that stock has put in a fine
line of ladies and children's underwear
and notions. The establishment is
conducted by his wife.
Married in 1882 to Miss Nettie Will
son, at Dunlap, Iowa, and they have
one child.

SOUTH SIDE VIEWS.

Editors Blandin, of the Sanborn
Sentinel, and Bohanon, of the Lam
berton Leader, attended the conven-
ton here on the 9Th, the latter as a
delegate and the former as Demo
crat. They made note of what they
found out, as follows:
Sanborn Sentinel: The REDWOOD
GAZETTE, with it's characteristic push,
got out an extra edition Saturday
morning containing a full account of
the Republican convention. x The
candidacy of S. L. Dotson for Regis
ter of Deeds is being received with
marked favor all over the county.
Judging from indications Mr.. Dotson
will not be counted out in the race for
the nomination before the convention
this fall. = We wonder if the
county delegates who were so anxious
to do up the alleged long existing ring
in the recent Republican county con-
vention at Redwood Falls didn't help
form another ring that is likely to
prove as obnoxious as the first. Coun-
ty delegates were to be independent
and united. If they are independent
why did they not make their own
slate instead of voting the one pre-
pared by the new clique at Redwood
Falls? = Mr.. J. N. Jones, of
Westline, will be candidate for rep
resentative this fall. The Republican
party in Redwood county could not
make better selection for represen-
tative than Mr.. Jones. x Among
the candidates mentioned for Senator
from Redwood county is Mr.. Philbrick
of Redwood Falls.
Lamberton Leader: There seems
to be a feeling that most of the coun-
ty officers have held their places long
enough and ought to pass them
around. Lamberton and the
south side got honors at the conven-
tion. Frank Clague as chairman, and
w. N. Cobleigh as secretary. x
Frank Clague has clear sailing for
county attorney. Redwood
Falls is fine town and fine people
live there. Julius Schmahl, of
the GAZETTE, still believes in Redwood
Falls and its mineral resources.

A CLOUDBURST

CLOUDBURST
OF Music and Laughter will Fall
July "a and 25.
The wearying monotony of midsum-
mer will be relieved on Tuesday and
Wednesday, July "A and Is, by two
delightful entertainments in the opera
house, given under the auspices and
for the benefit of John S. Marsh Post,
G.. A. r., this city. Early in June
practice was commenced, and has
been steadily continued. About eighty
persons assist in carrying out the pro-
gram, which is of a high order, con-
tainining not one weak point.
When the curtain rises q very real
istic tableau, 'Tenting Tonight" will
be shown. This will be, as nearly as
possible, perfect representation of
On evening camp scene on the battle
field. During the evening three cho-
ruses will be given by seventy-five
well-trained voices, Leslie's Boating
Song" the "Song of the Vikings"
and the "Soldiers' Chorus" from
Gounod's "Faust." These are all
spirited, beautifully harmonized Sc
lections, the last named being especial
ly so. This is one of the masterpieces
of that grand master, who has never
written anything of little merit.
Though quite difficult it is already
we'll sung, every part being sustained
in perfect harmony.
The Ethiopian Octette, specially
costumed to represent the southern
negro, Will render "Dip me in de
Golden Sea-" and Scamp Meetin'
Down in de Swamp" These two grand
plantation melodies bring out to per-
fection the plaintive harmony SO char
acteristic of southern songs. This,
with the wild, ridiculous antics of the
excited negro in camp meetin' will be
perfectly initiated. A regimental drill
by twelve boys in uniform and carry
ing rifles will be a pleasing novelty.
The boys enter into the spirit of this,
and do it we'll.
But the grand feast for the eye will
be the fan drill by sixteen of the hand
soonest young ladies from the high
school. They will be beautifully
dressed, each couple in different col
ors, and will carry fans to match.
Some idea of this drill, with those
which follow it, can be formed when
you reflect that nearly two hundred
different movements and positions
will be given, and nearly forty-tive
minutes required to complete it. It
is already mastered, and will beyond
question, be one of the best stage eff
fects ever seen here. Those who have
seen it pronounce it one of the pretti-
est things they haye ever witnessed
The selection of the young ladies has
been particularly fortunate. They cor
respond exactly in height, and for
beauty and grace-well come and see.
The boys give roaring burlesque on
the fan drill, and do it we'll.
Our little nightingale, handsome CO.
quettish little Dolly Kellam, will sing
'The Little Game Called Kissing y
Constant practice has greatly i'm
proved her wonderful voice, adding
much to its volume and range. The
entertainment will conclude with "All
Nations Honor Old Glory" Several,
dressed to represent different nations,
sing their national airs, when the full
chorus of seventy-five, clustering
around the stars and stripes which
they haye raised above them, unite in
singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
The excellence of the program and
the desire to aid the old soldiers,
should insure two packed houses.
