unconstitutional in the Sims case..and
defendant claims that the decision in
the Sims case practically anDuls the
whole section. The matter was pre-
sented to the judge at chambers in
Erie on Jan. 80 by Mr.. Bennett and
Major Foust.
The decision of Judge Stillwell sub
sequently received denies the prayer
of the petition and holds the informa-
ton to be sufficient.
The court holds that Mr.. Langley
by giving his recognizsnce valves all
right to object to irregularities In the
information. He also thinks the part
of the statute complained of in this ap-
plication is not so closely connected
with or dependant upon the part of
the statute held unconstitutional in
the Sims case, that they cannot be
supported. This decision is important
as there are number of cases pending
in which the same question is presen-
ed, and it may go to the Supreme
court.

CITY SCHOOL NOTES.

The Washington's Birthday Exer-
eises to be given by the schools one
week from tomorrow and tomorrow
evening are an adaptation from the
"Cantata of America" and certain
drills and exercises having a special
bearing upon the day and occasion.
Nearly one hundred children take
part in the program.
In addition to the gain that it is
hoped our young people will get from
the work as an agency to make more
vivid the associations of the day,
there is another object to be subserv-
ed. 1t is hoped that the proceeds
may be sufficiently large to furnish
fund that will pay for renovating and
kalsomining all the rooms of our
school building that need such treat
ment. Most of the rooms in the build
ing have not been frightened and re-
touched since they were first Occupi-
ed for school purposes, twelve years
ago. The need of thorough house
cleaning is apparent to all of our pat
rons who visit the schools.
Two performances will be given.
One of them will be an afternoon mat
inee at 2:15 o'clock p. m. This
will include nearly all of the
features of the evening exercise. 1t
is arranged especially to accumulate
children who cannot find it conven-
lent to attend the evening exercise.
The admission to the matinee is 1Oc
for children and zoe to all adults,
with no reserved seats.
For the evening performance price
of % cents will be charged for re-
served seats and 20 cents for general
admission, the board for reserving
seats will be open at Anderson & De-
Clute's upon next Thursday.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

On Oct. % 1895 there was filed in
the office of the District court of Allen
County an information charging J. r.
Langley with violation of the prohib.
itory LIQUOR law, a warrant issued and
Mr.. Langley was arrested. This in.
formation was sworn to by the Co.
Atty. on information and belief only
and said belief was based upon the
testimony of a certain witness taken
before the Co. Atty. and sworn to be-
fore him.
Mr.. Langley appeared at the Nov.
Term of the District Court and enter
ed into a recogniZance for his appear
ance at the March term to which the
the cause was continued.
A few days ago said Langley appli
ed to Judge Stillwell for a writ OF
habeas corpus asking to be discharg-
ed from custody because he claimed
he was illegally held. His position is
that the statutes conferred upon the
county attorney power to subpoena a
witness and administer an oath to
him is unconstitutional and void.
This is part of the same section held

GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
The Best Way To Get There is Over The
santa Fe Route

The fabulOusly rich gold mining
district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is
attracting hundreds of people. By
spring the rush bids fair to be enOr-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond
doubt. Fortunes are being rapidly
made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the
Santa Fe Route, the only standard
gauge line direct TO the camp.
Through Pullman sleepers and chair
cars. The Santa Fe lands you right

clined to give him. When his clothes
were pinned too tight and he filed his
objection, his system was flooded with
soothing syrup until his digestion was
impaired by the operation. Taking
advantage of his physical weakness,
various females who had been dining
on onions, half smethered him with
kisses and wondered at the look of
WEAKNESS that spread over his infan-
tile countenance. While laboring I'M
der the erroneous impression that it
pleased him, a maiden visitor took
him on her knee and trotted him up
and down until his recent breakfast
was churned into buttermilk and the
various parts of his internal economy
were jOlted out of place. AS he grew
older he was subjected to fresh indig-
mites. When there was company he
waited for the second table and dined
on such scraps of chicken as had es-
capped the appetite of the minister.
He has had to pass through the chick
en- pox, measles and whoopiDg cough.
At the age of fifteen he fell in love
with a maiden some five years his
senior and endured the pangs of un-
requited affection, without receiving
any comfort or sympathy during the
hours of his trouble. He has been
forced to go through the humiliating
period when his feet grew too large
for his body and voice was liable to
fly off on tangent at the most criti-
cal and embarrassing moments. How
much better it would have been for
that boy if he had been left among
the angels

SOME INTERTING STATISTICS.
Government Figures.l

VGONeIHHheuI rlSuEesJ
The combined amount spent for
public education and churches last
year was less than one third that
spent for liquors, the former, $780,
100000, the latter 81 ,0SO,0OO,OOO.
Names population is 661, O86, that
of Ohio, 3,672,S16, and of Illinois
1896, 351; that is, Ohio has more than
five times and Illinois nearly six times
the inhabitants of Maine. Neverthe-
less, Maine has far more savings
bank deposits than either. Deposits
of Illinois, S23, 49S, 5O4; ofOhio, S34, $685.
213; of Maine $50, 1891, $50.
The internal revenue receipts from
the sale of government liquor permits
for the entire United States exceeds
S1.25 per capita annually, while for
Kansas it is less than .O6 per capita
annually.
The amount of all kinds of liquors
consumed annually in license states
ranges from $4,000 to 100000 barrels
annually; in Kansas it is less than
10000 barrels, often falling as low as
1900.
On the per capita basis the saloon
power of the country is annually
losing about s17,OOO,OOO in sales be-
cause of the prohibition law of our
state. But since our population is
largely rural, suppose the amount lost
in sales to the liquor power to be
only S., 200, OOO,-is this not an amount
worth saving?
And do not these figures all indicate
that prohibition is grand compar-
alive success?"

NOT THREE YEARS.

IT Is NOT quite three years since
the Democratic party took charge of
affairs at Washington, and already
the public debt has been increased
5000, 900. That figures out about
$40 for every man, woman and child
in the United States. And that
means nearly $4,000 for the town of
lola. Isn't that paying middling
high, men and brethren, for the lux
ury of a Democratic administration?

THAT $1,000 BOY.

Topeka Mail and Breeze.
We have noticed in several of our
exchanges an account of some Kansas
man who astonished his son by pre-
senting him on his 21st birthday with
an itemized account of expenses paid
out on his account, which seems to
show that the boy was in debt to his
paternal ancestor to the tune of sew
eral thousand dollars. This incident
is related as striking example show
ing the heavy obligation the young
man is under to his father. So far,
however, we have not seen anything
on the boys side of the case and yet
We think he might have filed valid
offset to his ancestors account. He
might have laid in claim for dam
ages that would have more than bal
anced the old mans claim. If the pop
ular idea that babies are sent from the
land of angels is correct, we are GER
tain that when his father presented
that account the boy could not only
have "seen" him but he could have
raised him several hundred by way
of compensatory damages. The boy,
without any consultation on his part
or asking him whether it suited him
was brought from the society of cher.
ubs into land filled with collie, gum
bOils, stone bruises and indigestion.
Without asking him how the change
struck his fancy, he was hustled out
of the company of angels and forced
to put up with whatever sort of treat
ment lot of people on earth felt in

HOW,S THIS2

Manhattan Nationalist: A POpu-
list was in town a few days ago kick
ing because he could not sell five
year old horse, in good condition for
$50. He laid it to the Infamous crime
of '73, which he claims, not only de-
mOnetized silver but also struck a
deadly blow to the horse industry.
"Why," said he, "I've got thirty
head of yearling steers and every
derned one of them is worth more
than whole team of horses the way
things is now" 1t seemed indeed
like crushing argument, and few
men who had been trying in a weak
way to hold their own against the
Populist, dropped their heads in sill
ence. Finally cheerful idiot in the
crowd asked the man how it happen
ed that the crime of '73 had hit the
horse so hard while it hadn't touched
the steer calves. And that is what
we'd like to know. The horse is the
beast of burden: he used to sell so
high that many poor man couldn't
own a team. Now he's down to bed
rock and a man can almost go out and
pick team off the bushes-same as
he could money under pop rule.
Now it seems to us that the man who
was kicking because he couldn't sell
one horse at profit, utterly forgot
the profit he might make on thirty
head of yearling steers.

His Trusted Advisers Have Kept
Him In Ignorance of tho situa-
ton.
The Washington correspondent of
The st. Louis Republic says:
am told that Mr.. Cleveland is dis
gusted and angry. Light is breaking
in on him. He felt convinced, until
quite recently, that the Chicago con-
v%ention would heartily endorse his ad-
ministration and declare for sound
money. Mr.. Cleveland keeps himself
very secluded. Ho only hears from
the country through d few New York
newspapers, his mugwump friends and
the members of his cabinet. It.is one
OF the weaknesses of Mr.. Cleveland
that he prefers the voice of sycophants
to men Of truth and candor. Those
who enjoy his confidence and have
easy access to him are the men who
continually pour into his ear his i'm.
mense popularity throughout the c0un.
try, and the eagcrncss of the masses
to endorse his policy. The member OF
his cabinet from Alabama tried to con.
vince him that Alabama was for sound
money long after the primaries had
rolled up an immense majority for
silver, almost up to the moment that
the State convention elected q silver
delegation to Chicago. 1t is inform a.
tion like this that has misled the Pres
fident. Now, the truth cannot be
concealed from him, that the Demo-
Gratis OF the West and South favor the
free coinage of silver by a large ma
iority. The truth was a shock to him.
1t was unexpected, and | am told
that when he finally became convinced
his language was very plain, and the
members OF his cabinet had several
uncomfortable hours with him. The
cabinet men are still trying to nattor
him with the belief that things will
look better at Chicago than indica-
tions at this time from the West and
South would lead one to believe. 1t
was to find out the exact state OF affairs
that Chairman Harrity, OF the National
Committee, was summOnd here to con
fer with the President. Mr.. Harrity
told Mr.. Cleveland that he was hope
ful, and his response was: ooh, damn
your hope [ want to know facts"
Then Mr.. Harrity set forth facts. End
they were no at all to the Presidents
taste.
The silver leaders here, so ! am in
formed, are preparing TO do what the
Blaine men did at the Republican con.
~vention of 1854 that is, set aside the
person designated for temporary chair
man of the convention by the National
Committee, and elect q man suitable
to the majority OF the delegates. This
can be donc undoubtedly, and from
present appearances it will be done
at Chicago unless the National Com
mittec names u man for temporary
chairman who is satisfactory to the
silver leaders.

gives Its annual picnic that day. The
Record says "Vice President r.. e..

that Senator Tillman will accept the
invitation to speak. They admit that
for some time it has been known in
the inner circle of silver men that Mr..
IIilman has been anxious to appear
before a Chicago crowd. 'Tiilman
will draw 5000 people to the picnic,
said Mr.. Burke. He is a great talker,
and he would tell the boys things about
silver that they never dreamed of be-
fore. He will be at the picnic all right
and he will make a'speech. Why, the
gold members of the marching club
will be with him because he will make
the money just flow into the treasury
OF the organization. There will not
be any kicking"

secondary place and use In the Bible,
and had through all history been re-

That does not seem to be incompatible
with the claims Of silver men to-day,
however, as they only rate silver at i6
