LIQUOR CASES.
An important Case at Montpelier

An important Case at Montpelier.
The jury in the case of the State
against William Miller, on trial at the
County Court at Montpelier for selling
liquor was still out yesterday. The trial
of this case was begun last Monday, and
il went to the jury Wednesday noon.
Twice they have returned, disagreed.
and have been sent back by judge
Thompson. Mr.. Miller. who has already
served the State one year in the house
of correction for violation of the pro-
hibitOry law, is charged with selling
malt liquor to people in Barre. The real
question is whether the beer manufac-
tured by the Suffolk Brewing company
of Boston and which contains between
and per cent of alcohol, is intOxicat-
inc and under the ban of the prohibitOry
law. Miller has handled this beer
openly for the past year, believing, SO he
claims that he was not breaking the law.
The professor of chemistry in the Uni,
verslty of Vermont, who analysed the
beer, testified that it is malt liquor,
light lager, and Prof. Babcock, of BOs-
ton swOre that it was Notwithstanding,
contains no malt and is not a lager. 1t
is not believed that the jury will agree.
FINED FOR LIQUOR SELLING.
On complaint of States Attorney Fits
the proprietors of the Brooks, American
and BrattleborO hotels were brought be-
fore Justice Newton yesterday charged
with being common sellers. They
pleaded guilty and each paid 500 and
costs.
SEIZURE AT MONTPELIER.
Sheriff Collins and Deputies Graves
and White seized an express wagon load
of liquor at the Central Vermont depot
in Montpelier yesterday. The stuff was
in room at the rear of the building and
included rum, gin, wine and whiskey.
Several of the quarter barrels were filled
with faucets and partly filed with glas-
ses. and tin measures were also found,
indicating that tie liquor had been kept
for distribution. The officers were
obliged to break lock to get into the
rom. B. Is. Bailey, the freight agent,
claimed as his personal property one
b lrrel of lager in bottles, and this was
ordered returned to him. The rest of
the supply was condemned in City
court in the afternoon and was ordered
spilled.

NYE LONGS FOR HOME
And if He Gets There He Promises
TO Stay
A Subscription Has Been Started at the
Nadeau Hotei-Come Early to
Avoid the Rush

Bill Nye, jr., the cratic William, whose
short but eccentric career has brought
him so conspicuously before the public,
is now experiencing the keen pangs of
homesickness and will SION set sail for
the shores of ''meirie England" That
is he would like to do just that, but an
unkind fate having first deprived Will
ian of his hair and then of his shining
molars has also frowned upon his fnan-
clal career, and SO the sportive advertis-
ing freak is unable to dig up the where
withal.
Nye is not easily discouraged, however,
and having danced to the piper, expects
the. spectators, in the shape of the good
people of Los Angeles: to assist him on
his homeward way. This is good idea
of Williams friends may make up a
purse to send him away, that being I'm
dou btedly the cheaper course for them to
pursue. William Is at present very, very
weary of the world and particularly of
this section of j., having been jerked to
Jail and committed TO the insane asy-
lum with neatn-ss and dispatch by the
keen officials of that institution, and ne
objects TO having his psychical qualities
revealed to cold world as they were
last Saturday by that esoteric phenome-
non, Mutton. Home is certainly the place
for Mr.. Nye. and he says that if he only
gets there he will stay. This is certainly
worthy OF consideration by the people of
Los Angeles. Subscriptions will be APP
precated and may be left with Chase OF
the Nadeau hotel OF Ellis Cohen of the
Nadeau cigar store.

TODAY IN THE CITY COUNCIL
Some of the Things Which Will Be
Considered
The Ordinances for Q New Telephone Line
and to Regulate the
Oil Industry

The regular weekly council m Getting to be
held today will be of more than ordinary
interest. The city attorney is to present
the draft of an ordinance for an opposi
ton telephone franchise, and also the
draft of ordinances regulating the oil in
dustry and creating the office of oil in
spector.
The finance committee has recon m end
ed for passage the ordinance increasin g
the pay of the sanitary inspectors of the
health department, and making three
special inspectors of the department, reg
ular employees of the city.
The report of Building Superintendent
Strange, certifying that he has ompleted
the plans and specifications of the var
ious new school buildings, is to be sub
mtted and the contracts for the new
buildings will probably be ordered adver-
tised.
Councilman Munson has been Informed
by the officers of temperance mission
that certain sewer contractors compel
their wurkmen to discount their wage
paper al various saloons, and the subject
will today probably receive thorough
public airing.
City Clerk Charles A. Lukenbach will
be on hand today for the first time. after
an absence from his desk covering a
period of two weeks. He has been upon

A GREAT KICKER RETURNS
Professor Edward Hutchison Is Back
From Boosting
He Secs All That Is Worth Seeing and Ad.
dresses a Religious Campmeeting for
an Hour Upon California

Professor Edward Hutchison renowned
as the greatest kicker i'll Southern Cali
fornia, as well as .he greatest breeder OF
Yiots where riots should be, returned on
Saturday evening from thirty days trip
to Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis and Kansas City.
He saw the great Knights Templar par
ade in Boston, climbed to the top of
Bunker hill monument and rcbelled most
Justify and periodically when he found
that a company of Yankees had put
fence around the monument and charged
20 cents each for the admission of the
degenerate folk who desire to see the
monument to their ancestors who fought
at Bunker hill for the purpose of lifting
the tax On tea and gravestones.
He looked at all the art galleries in the
principal cities; visited all the finest the
alters, churches, libraries, museums. park
and public buildings, and examined all
the navy yards and new war vessels, in
Guiding those now being built at Cramps
ship yard.
He abused the authorities at Philadel-
phia for giving up the Declaration room
in independence hall to the use of fakirs
who sell relics and alleged relics and
cheap pictures and otherwise affropt the
few people who still cling to the childish
ideas concerning patriotism versus junk
shops.
In Boston he wrote up the police, who
seemed to him to be in general the most
depraved specimens of brutality that
could be procured.
Near his old home in Ono he was in
vited to relieve the monotony of a camp
meeting by delivering an address on Cal
ifornia. To the qualification of the con-
gregation he complied with the request
and converted many to the California
creed.
Throughout his long journey he found
California and Los Angeles We're the most
potent of all passwords. ana that many
thousands were turning from the error Of
their ways and repenting that they had
not saved enough coin to purchase tickets
to California.
In few words, Professor Hutchison
has two good eyes and q couple of excel
lent ears all Of which he Kept wide open,
as usual. and he gathered enough mater
ial to serve as subjects and illustrations
for thousand newspaper articles. He
is now competent to speak from personal
observation concerning Canada, Mexico,
fOrty-three states of the union and every
great city III America. Many things that
he saw during his late trip pleased him
very much, and as many others offended
him exceedingly. He will express his
opinions at his leisure and after fash

Harry CoiIey Shot in His Right Foot by a
Hexican
Harry Colley applied at the receiving
hospital last night for medical treatment.
He was suffering from a gunshot wound
in his right foot.
He says that about three weeks ago he
was OIL ranch mile from Ballona, to-
ward Santa Monica, helping to herd
some cattle. With him was a Mexican
man, who one day drew his revolver.

and as if to aocentuate the terpsicorean
movements of the young man and do the
thing in real cowboy style, the Mexican
shot at his feet. One of the bullets
struck Colley's right foot near the instep.
Colley was attended by a physician
from Santa Monica but has not taken the
proper care of his wound and as a result
it has festered and quantity of pus and
has collected. He was attended
by DR.. Bryant last night and today will
be taken to the county hospital. The
wound will not cause HIM to lose his foot
and with care he can be cured in short
time.
Colley says that he does not know the
name of the man who shot him but knows
him by sight. He is believed to have
come to this city.

The Trotting Horse Business

The trotting horse business is legiti'
mate and respectable one. engaged in by
the most prominent of the representa- tive
men of America says the Breeder and
Sportsman. A lot of fool fanatics in New
York, who have about as much knowl-
edge of the trotting horse as ibal
has of decency, have by reason OF super
ior mum bers been able to impress a hur-
rah legislature with the idea that the
business of raising horses was wrong, and
the Percy pool law is the result. There
is growing sentiment that the people
of great city and a great state should be
represented IN its Legislature by men of
broader views than those of last year in
New York. We want men who can ana
lyze more than one side of an important
question, and who will recognize the
value of great industries to a state and

black belts are to be added to the regula-
