A Resolution.

The following resolution was unan-
imonsly adopted at the Union Tenn
perance meeting OF Sunday afternoon
July II.
RESOLVED: That it is the sense OF
this meeting that the fierce assault
made last Monday upon one of our
fellow citizens W. w. Loveless, be
cause of his just and truthful condem-
nation of the public exhibition of the
saloon business on our streets on the
Fourth of July, was malicious and
shameful display of saloon brutality
And further we extend to him our
sincere sympathy that he should thus
have suffered in the righteous defense
of our cannon cause.

State VS. Larkin.

n the case of State VS. Larkin,
q. S. Nelson of Luverne, appeared
for the State by request Of O. W.
Freeman district attorney, and G..
N: Crandall assisted by G. w.
Wilson, for the defendant. The
hearing was before Squire Hid
reth, Tuesday afternoon. W.
w. Loveless the prosecuting
witness and F. Spaulding Of
Luverne, witness for the state
were examined after which, the
defendants attorney moved that
the action be dismissed for want
of sufficient evidence to hold his
client under the charge alleged in
the complaint, and that the word
"wound'' as construed by the law
meant bodily and permanent
injury to hold the defendant for
assault in the second degree, and
that the injuries suffered by the
plaintiff were not sufficient to sus-
tain the complaint citing authori-
ties to substantiate his argument.
Mr.. Nelson followed at some
length Offering authorities to
sustain his answer that it, was
customary in all cases of this
character to make a similar
motion, and that he had produced
sufficient evidence to hold the
defe ndant on the complaint, say
ing, how numerous assaults of this
kind would be made if rowdism
was to be permitted, by ruf1ans
being allowed to pound person
until their clothing was saturated
with blood, and then be allowed
their freedom by merely paying a
small fine. The justice denied
the motion and held the defendant
to- the grand jury under $500,
bond which was procured.

all the details of the care of the sick
and insane. Young men and women

ing receive an amount Of culture, in
dependent of their training as nurses,
which will fit them for any occupa.
ton they may choose to take up after
graduation, and it has the great ad.
vantage OF teaching them to be or.
derly, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power
of self-control.
During their undergraduate term
of service, men are paid $500 dur.
ing the first month and this amount
is gradually increased according tt
merit until after six months they are
paid $500. Graduates may fol
good and extended service be paid
$500 per month. Women are paid
$1,000 the first month to be gradually
increased to $500 after six months.
Graduates may be paid $500.
Board, lodging and washing without
expense to nurses.
All applicants should be between
IS to 20 years of age, free from dis
ease or deformity, and they are ex-
pected to enter for the full course of
instruction. Applicants on being
accepted will be expected to serve
two months on probation, after
which, if their service has been sat-
isfactory they will on agreeing to re-
main for the full course of instruction
be accepted as pupil nurses. Pupils
may enter the school at any time.

case will come up again before Judge
Cory at ten o'clock this morning.

ignated by the Board of health, was

action taken.

ed Tuesday afternoon and a large
quantity Of water was pumped from

of mud, which the men in charge of
feared was undermining the ground
around the we'll and stopped pumping
and in a very short time the earth
commenced to cave around the curb
ing which stopped operation for the
day. Wednesday the cave in was
filed up and work in testing su-

LEGAL AND OTHER HOLIDAYS
We Have Many of Them, but They Are
Not Strictly Observed.

Not Strictly Observed.
The usual recurrence of the holiday
season invariably brings 10 the Depart
ment of State numerous inquiries re
.arding the number and dates OF ma
tional holidays. In Il technical sense
there are no national holidays. for the
simple reason that nowhere does there
exist the power To set such days apart
and compel their observance. y Sta'e
can only establish Il holiday within lis
own limits. while the authority of Con-
greSs in that direction is confined 10
the District OF Columbia and the Terri
tories.
Practically. however. Il holiday he
comes national in its character Wheh
it is observed by the people of the va
iious States. the Territories and the
District. There are two which fail
into this category. the Fourth of July
ana Christmas. Congress has set them
apart for observance in the Territories
and the District. and the Legislatures
of Ill the States nave in Ike manner
set them apart for the observance OF
the people Of their respective States.
Congress- has named eight such days
FOR Tire District and the Territories.
These are in calendar order New Years

tion Day. independence lay. Labor
