row, and for safety's sake it behooved
that all give warning of their coming
All this was il the early morning, for
the majority would choose TO have the
day before them for the long. hard trip
to town, making their homeward way
when the shadows had begun to length
en- and the air had grown cool. Now in
mid-afternoon nothing disturbed the
sleepy calm of the place save a few
children and chickens pottering about
in the thick dust of the street, the one
brood apparently as listless and void of
purpose as the other. Across the way.

body would come bothering him for

of the day, smoked in dreamy content

which was evidently part of his stock
in trade. The saloon man next door
was visibly snoring, his mouth very
cavern of escaping sound; while so long
time had elapsed since the doctor
had turned page OF his book that il
would seem he might we'll have commit
ted the last to memory. There was
soft, broken murmur from the creek, q
drowsy swish Of leaves among the cot
tonwoods along its banks, and the
stamp-mill at the far end of the place
went on in dull monotone, like a
devils tattoo that would never stop;
but withal ii seemed deadly quiet.
Dorothy Meredith yawned helplessly
as she turned from her outlook behind
the dusty lace curtains of the Palace
hotel parlor to purposeless survey Of
the large, bare room. She had brought
her book here in the hope of finding a
cooler place than her room on the floor
above; it was cooler, but the atmos-
pherc seemed oppressively close, while
there was that in the stiff arrange
ment of the conventional parlor suit of
cheap furniture which somehow con-
veyed the impression that the apart
ment was not intended for everyday use.
Now that she was here, Dorothy found
herself instinctively stepping about on
tiptoe, with n vague sense of intru-
sion, very soon deciding that even as a
choice of evils the place would not do.
She only halted while fretfully consid-
ering whether she should return to her
room and take a nap or shake off creep
ing lethargy by going for a walk, de-
termining finally to take her chances
out of doors, although it seemed we'll
nigh like courting sunstrolle.
But she loitered by the window Il
moment longer, now moved to idle curl
osity by the sound Of hoof-beats COM
ing down the road, small mischievous
hope stirring in her mind that it might
be somebody to poster the postmaster
for mail or rouse the saloon-man from
his dreams. But the rider had naught
to do with either of these, as it soon
appeared. He rode straight on to the
doctors office, q man who sat his horse
with the easy, slouching grace Of one
accustomed to much riding, q young
man at sight of whom Dorothy drew
back hastily behind the sheltering cur
tain, her face all a warm, pink glow.

a READY EXPLANATION.
1t Took Quick Thinking, But 1t Ar

n Washington man is accustomed to
using what he considers n very choice
product of the distiller's art. His pref
crence for the liquor in question has
been approved by a number of con-
noisseurs in such matters, and he be-
gan to suspect that colored man in
his employ had added his Endorsement
in n manner tacit, but sincere The
compliment was a high one; for the
colored man has long been employed
in the culinary department, and he had
a sense of smell and keenness of taste
which many q gourmet might envy.
TIE demijoh which contained the
liquU~ emptied with such surprising
rapidity that its proprietor concluded
to adopt radical measures. In the abb
sence of direct proof, he decided TO try
strategy. He allowed the demijohn to
become empty, and, instead of filling
it again, put the liquor in bottles in
his cupboard, and labeled them poi
son." The word was printed in heavy,
black letters, and a skull and cross
bones were added, of a size calculated
to make an impression on the most
stolid. He kept an eye on the cupboard,
too, and one night, as he came home
from the theater, he caught the colored
servant in the act. Selling the bottle
in mock terror, the employer eX-
claimed:
Great heavens! Do you know what
you are doing? Don't you see that
what that bottle contains is marked
poison?"
The colorcd man held it off and
looked at it. Then he smelled it, and,
with look of melancholy, replied:
Tain poison, sub. rs done been
fooled ag'in."
"How dared you tamper with it,
whether you knew it was poison or
not?"

of the best known and most popular
young republicans in the country. He

a republican one may say from his
birth. His first vote was cast for Gov.
Foraker and his first presidential vote
for Blaine. Soon after it's organization
he joined the National Republican
league, and was delegate from Illinois
TO the national convention of the league
at Louisville in 1893 and at Denver in
1894. To the convention at Cleveland
in 1895 he was delegate at large from
Illinois. His abilities as an organizer
were so apparent that his friends in
sisted on his accepting the office Of
state organizer for Illinois, in which
position he did excellent service for
his party. Mr.. Edens is still in the
early 30s. He is n native of Indiana,
spent his youth and young manhood
in Ohio, and in 1890 he came TO Gales
burg, where he has since lived.

The arguments on the motion TO dis
miss the complaint in the seduction
case of Eula Wray against Thomas
Kearns were made yesterday afternoon
before Judge Cherry by Attorney G. .
Varian on behalf Of the defendant
Kearns in support of the motion and
by Attorney John NJ. Zane for Miss
Wray and against the motion. The
grounds on which the motion was
based were that Miss Wray refused to
testify when the defendant made an
attempt to take her dispositions
The plaintiffs counsel contended that
in other than equity cases the plalntl1s
were not obliged to discover their case
until it came to trial.
The arguments were quite lengthy
and after their conclusion his honor
overruled the motion. holding that the
defendant had no right, to force the
plaintiff to make dispositions. In case
like this the presence of the plaintiff
at the trial was essential. Dispositions
were taken for the purpose of using at
trials, but if the plaintiff was present,
as she would have to be in this case,
the dispositions would not be competent
or admissible when she was there 10
give oral testimony.
A party to a civil action, his honor
held, had no right to go into the case
of the opposition on a fishing expedi-
ton and the motion would be denied.
Mr.. Varian on behalf of the defend
ant, Kearns, then asked for an early
setting of the case for trial and Judge
Cherry said he had no objection, If
both sides were agreed on the point,
and the setting will probably be made
with other cases next Saturday, with
trials to commence about June Z.

SUIT.
In Fares Against Stockholders of
Park City Bank.

Park City Bank.
The case of Henry Fares against the
individual stockholders of the Park
City bank was resumed before Judge
Cherry and a jury yesterday morning.
When the plaintiffs case closed a mo-
ton for non-Suit made by the defend
ants counsel was sustained. The plain
tiff for himself and other depositors in
the bank who had funds in the insti-
tuition when it failed sued the stock
holders individually TO recover s., 200,
the amount of their deposits, claiming
that the stockholders were liable in
dividually for double the amount of
their stock.
The nonsuit was granted on the
ground that two Of the defendants,
Kimball and Gregor, were stockhold-
ers of the bank and that no action
would lie against them until the
amount of the deficit had been estab-
lished, and as the receiver admitted
still having nominal assets in his hands
of some $4,000 it was impossible to
determine at this time what the de-
felt would eventually be. Thirty days
stay was given to prepare statement
for new trial.
