CASE OF j. B. WILSON
FATE OF THE EDITOR OF THE PEO-
PIE IN A FEDERAL JURY's HANDS.
Counterfeiter Pennington Finally
VIII Required to Furnish Bond.

The fate of James b. Wilson, editor and
publisher of the People. is now in the
hands OF jury. He was tried yesterday in
the federal court on the charge of sending
obscene matter, the People, through the
mails. Three Illustrated articles printed in
the issue OF Dec. 3. 1894. were what the
government based its claim upon. Wilson
testified that the issue of Dec. 3 was an
extra, and was not mailed. The govern
ment introduced evidence to show that it
had been mailed. Wilson also testified that
the Illustrations in question were simply
reproduced from a New York paper which
passed through the mails as second-class
matter and was admitted as mailable at
the New York postofiice.
Tle case went TO the jury about 4
o'clock, after strong arguments on both
sides. District Attorney Burke made
plea to the jury for the puri-
ication of the mails. At midnight the jury
was still out out, with instructions to re-
turn sealed verdict If an agreement
should be reached.

Monument Regents Apparently Sur

The Board of Monument Regents have
apparently taken another turn Of mind, and
the flag or light poles that have so long
reminded the rural visitors Of their garden
bean poles are coming down. The two on
the north side of the monument are dis
mantled half way down. William H. En-
glish expressed great pleasure yesterday
afternoon when informed that a change was
being made. He was not much surprised,
and said he had been expecting this NOV,
since the papers had let up on the ques
ton, but he thought they would have stayed
there forever If the fire at them had been
kept up. One man suggested yesterday that
the removal of the poles was only tenn
porary, for, he said, farmers usually pull
up their bean poles and pile them in dry
places to remain during the winter. This
