President Cleveland and Mrs Cleve.
Inhd last night entertained at dinner
President-elect Mckinley The invita-
ton, which, while not a novelty and not
always usual to Change of administra
uon, was extended through Secretary
Porter several days ago, but, up to a
i&te hour yesterday afternoon il was
douotful whether or not ii could be car
tied out, owing to the indisposition of
president Cleveland. Word came to
MI Porter at the Ebbitt. however, about
o'clock that the president had so far
recovered from his rheumatic attack as

Therefore, handsome brougham. the
same that had conveyed the president
elect from the station to his hotel, stood
at the doorway of the Ebbitt House
about o'clock last night. The pres.-
dent-elect emerged from the hotel at

crowd, which formed on either side of
line on the sidewalk. He took his seat

and was driven in few minutes to the
White House. Stwas expected that Mrs.
Mckinley would accompany her hus-

events OF the journey from Canton and

to do so. AT the White House, Mr.. Por-

doorway, and the latter entered at once
the red parlor, where he was greeted cor
daily by President Cleveland. who had

the pLrposes Without delay, dinner was
and the party retired to the
private dining room, where a suitable |
repast had been prepared. There was |
nothing elaborate about the dinner or |
the decorations. Mrs. Cleveland had !
given her personal attention to the ar
rangements, and the table decorations

and IL now goes to the president. The
debate on the bill brought out earnest
speeches from the silver Republican

st. Louis convention. Mr.. Dubois
warned his former Republican asso-
ciates that the silver Republicans had
thrown off their old connections for good.

kept out evidence that would have
hurt his client. He was vigilant in
the work and to him in great meas
ure, is credit due for tying up the
State SO bad that dismissal resulted
without even any evidence called on
part of the State. He held the State
to the books of the bank and to the
evidence of its own witnesses, and co1-
sequently won signal Victory. Judge
Baldwin of Baldwin & Patterson main
tanned his record for shrewd and re-
markable cross-examination, and it
was his close questioning that cork
screwed the evidence for the State out
of the witnesses for the defense. AS a
cross-examiner Judge Baldwin is con-
sidered one of the shrewdest men at
the bar, going over the ground in a
manner that leaves nothing uncovered.

RETROSPECTIVE.
Difficulty in Securing Evidence for
a Conviction.

AS stated briefly in last weeks Ga
zErrE the case of the State vs.. O. B.
Turrell, indicted for receiving the Pol
lard deposit after he knew that the
bank was insolvent, resulted in Judge
Weber instructing the jury to bring
in verdict of "Not Guilty" verdict
which the court drew up, was signed
by one of the number as foreman, and
was then assented to by the other
members of the jury. The other two
indictments against Mr.. Turrell we're
dismissed.
Judging from the evidence adduced
in this case there will be and probably
now are few, if any cases on which a
conviction can be secured on an in
dictment charging an official of q
bank of having received money after
he knew that the bank was insolvent.
There was certainly no evidence
brought out by the State that would

warrant the allowing Of this case to 60
to the jury, which was, as near as can
be learned, Of the same opinion as was
Judge Webber. Such evidence was
difficult, yes, impossible thing to get,
in this case, and probably will be in
all present and future cases. The
books Of the banks appear to be the
best evidence, and in all cases prob
ably will they, as they have in this
case, show that the assets of the bank
or banks at the time of suspension,
we're greater than the liabilities, no
matter what the liabilities are or how
much can be collected on them. The
State will call on the directors of the
bank to swear as to solvency or insol-
vency. The directors realize that
they, themselves, are responsible for
the bank, and their judgement was, is
and must be that the bank was solvent
at the time of its suspension, and that
it had more assets than liabilities.
The question of meeting its demands
within reasonable time is the only
ground on which conviction can be
secured, and this brings up the ques-
ton of what reasonable time ia
question yet to be solved.
Mr.. Clague fought the case with all
the energy that he could muster. He
was persevering and at times seemed
to be bitter personally SO, yet the de-
sire to secure a conviction in what
seemed just cause, probably stimu-
lated his action.

Olsen of Sleepy Eye, is entitled the
credit of many shrewd moves that

CeroQ KICK.
IF I arise to address the Court, and
you are behind me, that is your mis-
fortune. and not my lookout" put in
Mr.. Wickwire hotly.
The original bond binding the
bondsmen to make up the deficiency,
in case there was any, was then offered
in evidence. The defense objected to
it because the same did not bind 1.-THE
Citizens Bank" but merely 20. B.
Turrell, CASHIER" and because there
was nothing to show that Mr.. Turrell
had any authority to execute the
bond in the name of the bank. This
objection called out great deal of
argument, the State fearing that the
fact that the Citizens Bank was not
mentioned in the bond might preju-
dice it's case. But Mr.. Wickwire event
ually found the seal of the bank on
the bond and this gave him hope.
After a great deal of wrangling Judge
Webber over-ruled the objection of
the defense, but said that the bond
undoubtedly appears to have been
imperfectly executed. Another point
was raised in connection with the
bond. It was that w. 7. Donaldson
and r. p. Lewis attached their names
to the same three days before the
bond was really executed. But the
Court allowed the bond to go in as
evidence just the same.
j. R. Lankard was called to the
stand to testify to the deposits of the
county during the solvency of the
bank. The defense then admitted
that the county deposited the amount
claimed between the execution of the
bond and the insolvency of the bank,
a little over $4,000, and that all of
this except 1852 had been checked
out of the bank. This seemed to sat-
isfy the county. Mr.. Lankard was
excused and the State rested, just
about an hour after the case was
opened.
Mr.. Schneider opened the case for
the defense. He stated that the coun-
ty claimed that at certain time the
bank owed it over $4,000. eve paid

it will only take us about ten minutes

Emil Kuenzli, ex-county treasurer,
with the bank record of the county,
was called. Mr.. Schneider pulled a
big document out of his pocket. This
was supposed to be the same as con-
tanned in the county bank record. But
somehow the figures didn't agree and
the defense asked for tan-minutes'
recess to look the matter up. Later il
asked the Court to adjourn until Fri
day morning SO that it could have
time to inspect the matter. This was
agreed to.

THE COUNTY WINS,
Although Judge Weber Has
Doubts as to the Verdict.

The case of the county commission
ers against the bondsmen of The Citi-
zens Bank to recover $3,642 and inter-
est, the principal of which is alleged
to have been in the bank at the time
of the insolvency, was called before
Judge Webber Thursday morning, all
of the criminal cases having been dis
posed of by continuance or otherwise
late Wednesday afternoon. The bond
case, as it is more Familiarity called,
absorbed three quarters of a day for
obtaining jury alone. The regular
panel was exhausted just before noon
and a special venire of 20 jurymen
was ordered. This venire was made
returnable at two o'clock and two
hours later the other seven men had
been secured.
County Attorney Clague opened the
case for the county, after which B. H.
Schneider, who is associated with Geo.
W. Somerville, asked for judgment in
favor of the defendants on the plead
ings, because the reply of the county
to the answer of the defendants was
no denial of the allegations in the an
swer. This set Mr.. Clague and Mr..
A. w. Wickwire of the attorney gen
erals Office, St. Paul counsel for the
county, to close consultation, and after
about five minutes they moved to
strike out certain portions of the re-
ply which the Supreme Court has pre-
viously held to be bad. Judge Web
Der looked over the reply and then
granted the motion. The defense then
asked for continuance, but this was
denied, and an exception was taken.
A. H. Anderson was called to the
stand to testify as to certain records,
certain official acts, certain officers,
etc., some of which could have made
better evidence by having the books
to show what he was testifying to. It
was during this testimony that there
was clash between attorneys. The
defense agreed to make an admission
regarding the officers of the bank, al
though Mr.. Wickwire did not ask it

retort, regarding the blockade plan Of
the defense.

sunny hue, was parted exactly In the mid
die and brushed into ripples and curls
across his forehead and back over his well
shaped head.
A beard, in an entire harmony of color
with his hair, covered the whole Of his
face. It. too, was wavy and of the finest
texture. Digent brushing and training
had parted it in the chin, and 1t flowed
to either side in golden pillows that would
make Moses Z. Handy faint with envy.
But It was not until the new populist
arose that his full glory burst upon the
House, and caused open-mouthed wonder
in the colony of his colleagues. He was
faultlessly attired for an afternoon stroll
in fashionable Connecticut avenue or for
attendance at a 4 o'clock reception. His
trousers were of some light material, of
exact cut, with a crease as sharp as a
knife. Pointed shoes, covered with gray
spots, adorned his feet which are small
and well shaped. He wore a dark Prince
Albert coat of exceptionally good fit,
which was buttoned snugly about him.
A half-inch of white underVest showed
around the collar of his waistcoat. He
wore a standing collar with an Ascot tie,
correctly arranged
on his hands were pair of light tanned
gloves. He removed the one on his left
hand as he walked down the aisle and
carried it gracefully in his right. Just be-
fore the reading of the oath he removed
the other glove in order to take the OBJ
legation with bare hand. His hands are
delicate and clean his finger nails showing
the care of a manicure. And such was
the picture presented of an up-tO-date
populist. With Lewis as an example, It is
hard to say where the populists will now
land. II may yet be possible to get Jerry
Simpson into dress suit.
1t might be stated here that Mr.. Lewis
has been a democrat, and claims yet to
be one in his biography written for the
congressional directory. He is classed in
the official list, however as a fusionist,
and has his name printed in large type
in the official roll call. To all intents and
purposes, he is a populist, and received
the heartiest welcome into the House from
that party. Jerry Simpson was the first
to congratulate him.
He is a Nirginian and Will be "a years
old in May. His name was presented at
the democratic convention in Chicago last
year for the vice presidential nomination.
He received seventeen votes, cast by Ala
bama, California, Oregon and Washington

M'KINLEY's TRIP DELAYED.
He Will Wait Day or Two on Ac-
count of the Flood Sufferers.

Washington, April 6.-The transmission
to congress of the Presidents proposed
message, asking for an appropriation to
assist the southwestern flood sufferers,
may cause a postponement of his depart
ure on an outing down the Potomac and
Chesapeake bay. At the cabinet meet
ing to-day the subject of the message
was taken up and discussed for some time,
with particular reference to the amount
required. There was some talk about not
sending 1t in as the suspension of tele-
graphic appeals for aid that have come
to the white house during the past few
days, was taken as an indication that a
federal appropriation might not be nee
essary However, it was decided that the
President should go ahead with the prep
aration of the proposed message, and send
it to congress tomorrow, when both
houses will be in session.
President Mckinley intends to remain
in Washington until the appropriation act
is presented to him for approval and this
will postpone his departure until Thurs
day, at the earliest
