The Hearing OF the Case Against Him
VIII Begin ut Lansing Apri o.
Cases against Ellis and 9th
ers to Go Over.
JoCHIM Is THE FIRST.

LANSING, March 10. In the circuit
court Thursday morning the trial of
Secretary of State Jochim on a charge
of making false public record was
set for April 0. This is the most
serious case against Jochim. 1t was
selected for first trial after a con-
ference with the lawyers. The
case against Attorney General Ellis
for forgery was continued over the
term. The conspiracy case against all
the persons indicted on that charge
was continued, but the Ellis-May case
for destroying the Wayne county
records still remains undisposed
of When court convened this
morning, Judge Person asked
the attorneys which case they
would try first, and remarked
that on the showing made the Ellis
forgery case would have to go over the
term. Prosecutor Gardner said he was
ready To take up the case against Jo-
chin for making false public record
first, and then, if there was time. TO
try Warren and Potter on the same
charge, and follow that up with the
May-Ellis case.
The judge said that, as he wished TO
give the defendants all the time posi-
BILE and not drive them unjustly,
he would set the trial of Jochim
for April 8. Attorney Day, for
the defense, said he supposed they
would have TO submit. although
they could more easily prepare
for the trial of Berry. Prosecutor
Gardner said however, that he did not
propose TO try Berry first, as Jochim is
the principal defendant in the case.

Der of the church, and gave her time,
little as She could spare it, TO the work
in the missionary society, sewing circles
and festivals of the year.
And the work upon which she was
sewing SO steadily Susie called, in her
heart. her Easter Offering. Hrs.
Stacey, the richest woman in Rosedale,
often employed Susie's busy fingers,
and it only made the gentle girl smile
scornfully when she heard Bessie Stacey
praised for the exquisite embroidery
her own active fingers wrought
Mrs Stacey intended To make an
Easter offering, at ST. Marks, of new
set of church-linen, and she had en-
gagged Susie 10 hem-stitch and en-
broider it, promising her ten dollars
for work she we'll knew would cost her
three times that sum in any city store.
And Susie had already appropriated
that sum, in her mind. She would buy
a large cross of white flowers, such as
she had seen in her visits TO the city,
and present il TO St Marks. Not one
penny of those ten dollars would she
use for her own expenses; and If
Bessie Stacey let il be understood that
she had embroidered the linen her
mother presented, Why, Susie could
give her cross, and So balance matters.
For, somewhere in the depths of her
heart, SO far down She had never called
ii TO the surface, Susie knew that there
was rivalry between Bessie Stacey and
herself She knew that Mr.. Castleton
was frequently ut Mrs. Stacey's, to
luncheon, TO dinner to arrange various
church matters in which Mrs Stacey
suddenly wakened TO an interest she
had never felt when good old Mr.. Muir
ray presided in the pulpit.
Aud Bessie wore the most becoming
dresses right under the minister's eyes,
while Susie's modest dresses were hid
den behind the curtains of the organ
loft.
AS she worked in the passion-lowers
encircling her cross, Susie thought of
the order she would send TO her Aunt
Mary in the city for the cross she meant
to buy. She had steadily put away the
temptation to buy new spring hat or
one new dress resolving 10 make over
her gray poplin once more and have
her old hat cleaned ard pressed. And,
really, one must be eighteen, with q
very limited, hard-earned wardrobe and
q strong desire to appear attractive in
the eyes of one person, TO appreciate
the sacrifice Susie was making. Ten
dollars with her economical habits,
skill in sewing, would go so far toward
girlish adornment.
But it was 10 be her Easter offering;
and if there lurked a thought of Mr..
Castleton's words of raise or his grave
eyes looking approvingly upon her
tasteful gift, was she so very much 10
blame?
She had finished her work before SUM-
set and took it home. Mrs. Stacey was
in the sitting-room where Bessie was
opening the parcel containing new
silk suit for Easter Sunday, and Susie

Rev. James Castleton had come to Rose.
dale and taken the church under his
care life had seemed brighter TO Susie.
Rev. James Castleton was quiet,
rather reserved man of thirtyfive, not
handsome, not especially gifted with
eloquence. But In his soft gray eyes,
in the curves of his Pravely set mouth
lay an expression of goodness, of unos-
entatious piety, that made his simple
language more effective than the most
elaborate oratory. Old women brought
their sorrows 70 Mr.. Castleton, and
went away comforted, blessing him for
an unaffected sympathy that doubled
the value of his counsels Children
clustered about him wherever he
called, and looked eagerly for his COM
ing into the Sunday school. The young
people liked him and trusted him,
wondering little sometimes that one
80 grave and quiet could so thoroughly
understand the troubles and tempta-
lions of youth.
He had shown an interest in Susie
BARCLAY for many reasons. She was an
orphan and had lost both parents and n
sister within fortnight, victims of a
malignant fever raging in Rosedale,
four years before. She was poor, hav-
ing taken position as pupil teacher in
a seminary, and been household drudge
as well, to earn an education. At the
time Mr.. Castleton came 20 Rosedale,
Susie was teaching music, was organ
ist at St Marks, and in leisure time at
home earned many an odd dollar by
embroidery.
And it was upon embroidery she was
busy on the week preceding Easter
Mr. Castleton's first Easter in Rosedale.
As organist, Susie was compelled TO
take part in all the services at St
Marks, bat, besides this regular attend
ancc, she was devout, sincere mem

was called upon to admire the color,
the style the general effect.
1T is dark for SPRING" Bessie said,
fretfully.
You know very well you cannot
bear light colors," said her mother.
Your eyes and hair are all you can
desire; your teeth are good, your fea-
lures regular and your figure is simply
perfect; but your complexion is thick
and sallow, and always will be until
you stop eating so much rich food.
Now, here is Susie, without one really
good feature in her face, with an insig-
nificant figure, eyes of no color in par
ticular, a sort Of bluish-gray, but with
a complexion like miniature painting.
She can wear blue and softly tinted
fabrics, but you cannot.
She might have added that Susies
hair was the color of corn-sill1 and one
mass of golden waves ard soft ringlets;
that Susie's mouth was like baby's in
its tender curves and sweet expression;
that Susie's eyes were full o. intel
ligence and gentle, womanly sweet
ness; but she forgot to mention these
points, and Susie was crushed, as she
intended her 10 be, in spite of her COM
plexion.
But Mrs. Stacey took out her pocket
book and from it a ter dollar gold
piece.
"You can buy new hat" she said,
in a patronizing way indescribably ir-
ritating.
NO" Susie said, quietly: this is to
be my Easter Offering"
"oh! And speaking of Easter, would
you mind, on your way home, taking
this linen TO Mrs. Byrnes TO wash and

MESoMINEE, March II. - Several

ingalls, & White Rapids narrow gauge
logging road, which roadbed the
new organization was to utilize in the
construction of its line from the
mouth of the Menominee river up into
the extensive pineries in northern Wis
consin and upper Michigan. John Bag
ley. Of Chicago, was the owner of the
narrow gauge logging road, and he is
also the main organizer of the Wiscon-
sin Il Michigan. The new road will
not at present be built from either this
point or Marinette, but will start from
near Portertield station, on the Ell
lis junction branch of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee Il St Paul, in
Wisconsin, running north and east,
and crossing the Menominee river into
Michigan, about a mile above the
Grand Rapids, near Ingalls,, on the
Northwestern, and proceeding north TO
the 500 road, which it will intersect at a
point miles west of Hermansville.
The rails are now being laid on the
bridge over the Menominee river and
the narrow gauge logging road is
rapidly being changed to standard
gauge. A 7,mile branch to Peshtigo is
also certainty.
