A Sad Mistake.

A rut1or has been current upon the
streets the past few days, which ap-
pears to be well founded, that the
Morris opera house will be closed to
public after the first of June, as far as
holding entertainments there is con-
cerned. Upon interviewing mem
Der of Olsen, Gutter, Healy Co. we
were unable to obtain any positive
ness in the matter. The claim is
made by the firm that in order to
make room for more stock they would
either have to build on an addition or
utilize the hall, and inasnuch as the
hall has not paid running expenses it
was thought best to occupy the hall.
AS this is the only opera hall in town
to close it up will certainly place the
town in very uncomfortable position
and leave the town absolutely barren
of place to entertain traveIinglcom-
panies. The theater going and sport
i've inclined people of our town will
make sad mistake if they allow the
hall to be closed without taking some
steps with a, view to keeping it open.
The hall has filed long felt want in
the town and has been fixed up in
good shape and the people should try
and retain it.

Citizens Bank.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
noticed the certificate of organization
of the new Citizens Bank of Morris.
The new bank commenced business
yesterday in the old First National
bank building. The main stockhold-
ers are well known throughout the
state, being connected in several
banking concerns. They are consid-
cred very conservative and thorough
going business men, and we have no
doubt that all who are brought in
contact with these gentlemen, either
business OF. socially, will find them
very amicable and honorable gentle
men to deal with. Mr.. Dybdal, the
cashier and the gentleman who will
have charge of the Citizens Bank, and
who has been with US during the past
week making preparations for the
opening of the bank, the people Of
Morris will find him very courteous
and entertaining, and gentleman
who it is pleasure to deal with. He
has followed the banking business for
a number Of years and is ever ready
and willing to serve the public in an
honorable and business like manner.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The District of Co.
lumbia delegation to the convention arriy-
ed last night. They are spending the day
getting into touch with the situation. 1t is
thought they will not hold a delegation
meeting today, and some members of the
party think they will not select the ma
donal committeeman until after the nomi-
nations are made.
The Maryland delegation reached here at
2 o'clock in the afternoon in two special
cars over the Baltimore and Ohio road
The delegation was made up of Edwin
Warfield, r. NJ. Vehable, Gen. John P. Roe
ex-Congressman Talbot, John E. Hurst
Spencer c. Jones, Murray Vandiver and
twelve district delegates. Mr. Warfield
who heads the delegation, is prominent
business man Of Baltimore He said: 1.-The
Maryland delegation, with probably three
exceptions, stands firmly for gold, and if
there was any show for an honest money
nominee al the convention, We would prob
ably cast our vote for VIM. c. Whitney
who is held in the highest estimation in
our state. We regard the probable adop-
ton of a silver plank as fraught with dis
aster to the democratic party and peril to
the business interests Of the country
The West Virginia delegation is enthusi-
astfc for free silver, and for any candidate
who will be acceptable to the majority of
the convention. He must, however. be an
uncompromlsing silver man.

Incident occurred at the Fourth of July

The refreshment buffet of the steamer was
not closed, as it should have been, On ar
irving at the American shore. Among those
present was a revenue officer, who found
the door OF the boat open, and Immediately
seizlnS the craft as a smuggler, put every
British sailor and passenger under arrest.
The official called to his aid twelve fisher
men. who boarded the boat and remained
there all night Yesterday Captain Nc

THREE DEALERS SENTENCED
Penalties for Unlawful Sale of Oleomar-
garine
The Public to he Protected, Says
Judge COle-One Case NOlle Pressed
appeals Taken.

Judge Cole today sentenced Israel C.
Kollock, w. o. Lusby and Samuel J. Nc
Caully, recently convicted of violating the
oleomargarine laws. The two first named
were sentenced to be imprisoned In Jail for
three hours and to pay fines aggregating
500, as well as the costs of the prosecu-
tion. McCaully, having been convicted only
OF selling oleomargarine without license,
the other men having been convicted of
that and also of failing to stamp it, was
sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and costs of
the suit.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, representing the
defendants. asked the leniency of the
court, stating that the recent prosecution
OF the cases has served about every pur-
pose, especially the stopping of further
violations OF tho law. Then, too, they are
business men, and have already paid pen
alties in the shape of taxes
Replying to the re marks of Mr. Davis,
District Attorney Birney called Judge
Coles attention to the fact that the reve-
nue. officers had repeatedly warned Kollock
that he was violating the law, but that
even after that he persisted in violating
the law. But. more than that. remarked
Mr.. B:rney, both men, particularly Kollock,
had sworn on the witness stand to things
they knew were false. Therefore he could
not agree that either of the men was en-
titled to any great consideration in the
imposition of sentence. Then, too kol-
lock never paid any penalty to the govern
ment in the form of license
In imposing sentence Judge Cole said that
II is plain to him that the purpose of the
law is to protect the public. Revenue ap-
peared to him to be q secondary matter.
1t also seemed clear to him that there has
been persistent violation of the law. 1t
may be that the indicted parties thought
that the law was dead letter, or that
they believed that 1t was unconstitutional,
hut persons who violate the law under
such c1rcr instances do it with their ewes
open and must bear the results. However,
said the judge, he would. in imposing the
sentences, make them somewhat lighter
because of the fact that the present cases
are the first under the law But future
violators of the law, he explained must
expect extreme penalties.
Judge Cole thereupon sentenced Kollock
and Lusby 20 three hours Imprisonment in
Jail and a fine of $4OO for selling the stuff
without a label and a fine of 500 and the
ccstS of the suit.
McCaully he sentenced 10 pay fine of $500
and the costs of the suit, the men to stand
&C committed until the fines are paid.
Mr. Davis noted an appeal to the Court of
Appeals in the case of the three men, and
MIR. Joseph Wilkins qualified as surety OH
the appeal bonds in the sum of 81 600 each.
In the case of John L. Gundling. who
pleaded guilty several days ago of violating
the law on two indictments, Mr. Birney
asked that the pleas be set aside, as he had
not knowingly violated the law. The pleas
were set aside when Mr.. Birney nolle
pressed the charges. He also nolIe pressed
similar charge against John HoIIoran
