Case.

New York, Feb. 6.-When the cases of
Roloff, Luis and Trujlllo, charged with
violation of the neutrality laws, were
called for hearing before United States
Commissioner Shields, United States Mar
shall Mccartney asked that the action
based upon the defendants alleged parti-
cipation in the Woodall expedition be
dismissed. This course was taken in view
of the fact that indictments have been
found against the men named by the
United States grand jury at Baltimore
from which port the Woodall sailed on
her so-called f1libustering expedition The
commissioner compiled with the request
whereupon bench warrants from the Bal
timore court were served upon the &C.
cused Cubans. Counsel for Roloff, Luis
and Trujillo waived examination upon
the charges relative to the Horsa expe-
dition, and the men were released upon
their own recognizances.

Public Lands i'm ShOshOne.
Discussing the bill appropriating funds
necessary for securing the government
lands that have been selected In Shosnone
county, Workman declared he had
changed his mind since the previous dis

measure. He thought the public lands
were much better off in the hands OF pri-

the state. He was afraid that the lands
under state control would fall into the
hands of syndicates.

Normal Notes.

The County Teachers association
was reOrganized last Friday by elect
ing Superintendent Mclaughlin, pres.
ident; Geo. Wakefield, vice president;
W. NJ. Massey, treasurer, and Miss
Marie Schmidt, secretary. The first
meeting will be held on the last Sat.
urday in September,
Miss Mae Gilmore of the Salt Lake
CITY schools, who conducted the model
school in the county normal, deserves
special mention. Her work has been
eminently successful in every partic-
ular. More than this, the work
throughout has been Practical, and
the many teachers who took instruc.
tiOn under her have received that
which they can use to advantage in
theft every day work. Miss Gilmore
has few SuperiOrS as a primary
teacher, and as an instructor IN pri-
mary methods our county institute
has never had her peer.
TIE prizes in the Evolutionary con.
test at the normal entertainment last
week were won by Miss Jessie Thomas
Of the younger class, and Miss Julia
Spiague of the older class. The
prizes were a silver mug for the
younger people and a gold watch to
the elder class. Much rare eljcution.
AIRY talent was displayed by the con-
teStants. Elocution is one of the
things Sumner county is "long" on,
and the winners in the contest that
night should feel justly proud of their
superior abilities along this line.
Much credit is due Prof. Foster for
the cultured training shown by the
pupils, and also for the interest mani.
tested in the contest.

A Deaf and Dumb K. of p.

A deaf and dumb Knight of PythiaS
was here Friday. Deaf and dumb
lodge members are very scarce. This
fellow came in from Texas Thursday
and was getting acquainted with the
Wellington K.P.s Friday. He joined
the lodge in Texas nearly two years
ago while in full health. Typhoid
fever silenced MS tongue and rendered
him deaf. He communicates the
password to the door keeper of
his lodge by a simple system
of hard alphabetics. Al Lich-
tenberger tested him thoroughly
in the written and unwritten work of
Pythianism this morning and found
that he was in good standing and
fully informed in the work of the
order. He was a telegraph operator
until rendered incapable to follow
that occupation. He is on his way to
Atchison, where he will reside.

A Peculiar Loss.

Friday afternoon while fishing
near the poor farm, W. c. Danenberg
and Charlie Marsh sustained a pecu.
liar loss by fire. Their clothes, left
lying in the phaetOD while they an
gled 10 the creek near by, caught fire
and burned up. The top of the phae.
ton was destroyed. Besides lusing
their clothes and the damage TO the
pbaeton, Danenberg lost $40 10 green
backs and Marsh lost a sold watch.
They had taken off their good
clothes and dOnned Overalls to fish ir.
They hitched the buggy where the
sun could beat down upon it, and it is
supposed that matches in their pock-
cts were ignited by the heat. This is
the theory. The real cause of the fire
is unknown. The bottom of the
phaeton and the cushions were badly
damaged.
