The Duty OF a Hostess.

One way in which one often al
lows herself to become worn and
wearied with entertaining Is In
minding too much the irregulari-
ties in the daily routine which q
guest is likely to occasion. This Is
something that one ought to count
upon and be prepared 20 meet. III
she has arranged her house as con-
ventiently rs possible and has
wisely avoided attempting to keep
up II style of living to which she Is
not accustomed, 1t will not he very
difficult to put up with few ir-
regularities. At any rate 1t is much
more difficult il one frets un Ter the
ordeal than IL she takes IL coolly.
1t Is not question of whether
one has reason TO be annoyed or
not. Guests are often strangely in
capable of adapting them selves to
the habi.s Of the family. III they
are not trained to be thoughtful at
home they will not he so abroad.
One does not care to demand strict
justice In such cases; and, then, u.
visit il but temporary thing, any
way, and the desire to make IL
pleasant ought TO enable one to
make some cheerful sacrifices 10

pect some concessions from our
guests we should be willing 10 meet

was attircd in white silk, wedding
veil and roses. After the cere-
mony, IA breakfast was served at
the home Of the bride by ihe pop
ular caterer, Frank Kanodc. In
the evening one would have
thought w. j. Bryan and " ife had
arrived in the city. 1t was known
that the happy couple were to drive
to the Rempel House at 1880, and
their reception there Of 100 tin
horns, and 500 cheering admirers
was but Il marker of the friends OF
this fair couple in Logan. May
they journey through life with as
few obstacles to mar happiness as
is wont TO befall the most favored.

according to all the testimony had
lived in New Straitsville for the
last II years as an honest and in
dustriDus and law abiding citizen,
no complaint ever having been
made against him for criminal or
,lisorderIy cond uct; and that if this
testimony was true and defendants
testimony above mentioned was
also true, then the Court could not
agree with the jury that he was
guilty of even manslaughter; but
as it was the exclusive Office of the
jury to pass upon all matters of
fact in the case, the Court would
not interfere with the finding of the
jury, and thereupon the Court
sentenced Underwood to five years

there was no testimony for either
side that Policeman X Kuhn attempt
ed even to arrest him on any charge
of violating any law of the state or
ordinance of the village of New
Straitsville, but after some quarrel
some words between Kuhn and
Underwood, and after Underwood
had walked away some distance In
the direction of his home, accomp-

The Straight Of 1t.
The Charge Of Judge Slough i'm the
Underwood Case Has Been
Wrongly Stated.

No exception was taken to charge
in the case Of the State vs. Under
wood, but on the contrary it was
expressly approved as justly fair
and Impartial and as correctly
stating the law Of the case by
counsel on both sides.
At the request of the sheriff of
Perry county, who feared an at
tempted Influence by mol, the
sentencing of Underwood, though
done as practicable, there being
only about dozen people present,
no stenographer being present.
The Court in passing sentence
stated to Underwood that if his
testimony and that of his witness
es was true, then 1. was Kuhn who
was the aggressor and had assailed
him with mace and loaded revol-
yer under such circumstances as
put his (Underwoods) life in
imminent peril end that lie was a
brave man exercising his right Of
self defense in Staying his agrees.
or If he honestly believed and had
reasonable ground to believe his
life in danger from such assault and
that he could only save himself
from death or gielt harm from
such assault. But If on The other
hand the testimony for the State
was true, then he was guilty of a
higher crime than that OF which he
had been committed, viz, man.

testimony apparently credltable to

1900 enthusiastic friends of Bryan

enthusiastically arplauded.
Hon. Alex. Wilson then spoke In
an eloquent manner for nearly an

too grave for words. The President, glori-

Of the Volksraad the chief usher appeared

With all his antiauated notions of govern
ment, Dom Paul will go down in history as
one of the most astute rulers Of the nine
teenth century. After the battle of Majuba
Hill, when the British were routed by the
Beers thirteen years ago, the commander OF
the English forces sent word that they de-
sired an armistice, pending the formation OF
a treaty of peace. At that time the Trans
vaal belonged to the British government and
the Beers were rebels. The latter had pro-
yoked the war. But loom Paul. in his
astute way, taking the ground that the Eng

GERMAN MUTUAL AFFAIRS.
Speculation as to Who Secured the
Controlling Interest.

There is some little speculation in finan-
cial circles as to who controls the German
Mutual Insurance Company since it's re-
organization. 1t is said on very good au-
thority that Lorenz Schmidt and his
friends hold the controlling amount of
stock. Mr.. schmidt is the present secretary
of the company. Mr.. Ritter. who bid s05 on
Si5.soG of the stock, says he did so believing
il good investment. AS Mr. Ritter has
not been identified with the company and is
not intimate with other members. II is un-
derstood that he. did not buy the stock for
himself. He does not say he did. Mr. Rit-
ter declined to be interviewed on this par
ticular point. The stockholders have sub
scribed for $4,000 of the stock. leaving
something like $l5.o00 i'm unknown hands.
AS the stock he'd by the original policy
holders hardly be controlled by one
man or a company. the situation rests with
the purchaser through Mr.. Ritter as the
controller of the concern. The reorganiza-
ton OF the company will be held shortly.
The friends of Mr.. Schmidt seem To feel a
satisfaction because John r. Frenzel and
his friends did not succeed in gaining con-
troll. so IL il accepted by many that Mr.
Schmidt and his friends hold the control
ling interest. although a high price was
paid for il.

Some Good Exhibitions Of Scientific
SpC Crts-BlindfOlded Bag-Puncher.

A fair audience was at the Grand last
evening to witness the annual athletic
tournament given by George Gayler, his
pupils and friends. The programme was re-
tarded by the wishes of the ambitious par
ticipants. each of whom wanted something
to say of the manner i'm which the exhibi-
ton should be managed and of their re-
spective places on the programme. The
young men who take part in these exhibit
tions consider themselves very seriously and
each is star. With this condition OF af-
fairs Gayler moved about on a run in his
efforts 10 make the affair go" The ex-
hibition did not end until after II o'clock.
There were several very good exhibitions

good material, which shows the result of
training. James Lamkin acted as master of

Let Them Drink.
Detroit Tribune

If there is actually such a thing as an
effort to compel the inmates of soldiers
homes TO take the gold cure for inebriety
going beyond the gentlest OF moral suasion
Ii ought 10 be stopped at once. The homes
were not established TO cure the veteran
inmates of the drink habit or OF any other
habit IL may please them 10 have. III the
use of alcoholic stimulant brings any COM
fort TO those old, broken, dying patriots
for heavens sake let them use IL in peace
The report that the authorities OF some of
the homes have given the inmates the op-
ton OF taking the gold cure or leaving
seems incredible.
