THE COURTS.
Batch of InfornatiOns in Justice Court
Probate and Civil Dockets in

Probate and Civil Dockets in
County Court.
By an affidavit filed Tuesday
morning in Justice court Mack
Dever charges Ed. Hewitt with
an assault and with disturbing
the peace.
August Meyer alleges that
Otelie Ingelholm and Johannah
Hampstead used loud and vocif-
erous language in manner
reasonably calculated to disturb
the peace.
Henry Lee stands charged by
Richard Lewis with unlawfully
carrying pistol.
The examining trial of Henry
Wellmann, who'is charged with
killing Hermann Gerken, will
come up for hearing Thursday,
L
the 18th.
On Friday, the 10Th, the
Wendt and Kieke brothers will
be given an examining trial.
They are charged with attempt
ing to murder the Klatt boys
during the progress of dance at
West Mill Creek some months
ago.
John Aysis and Julia Maskyn-
ski were married in the court
house Tuesday morning by JUS
tee W. r. Ewing.
A slip of paper on file in the
marriage record at the county
clerks office reads: "Do not
issue license to Soloman Cor
Bush) McGregor." This proba-
bly, means the destruction of a
romance in which two divided
hearts yearned to vibrate as a
composite whole.
Messrs F. Haubelt, F. Giesecke
and L. J. Lockett, appointed by
the court to appraise the proper
ty of j. P. Dempsey, sought to
be condemned by the Santa Fe
Railroad, assessed the damages
at 5000. This property was the
only barrier in the way of filling
in nine bents of the long bridge
contemplated by the Santa Fe,
the company having already
procured the balance of the ne
cesary right of way.
On the probate docket these
orders were entered:
In the estate of A. j.
Robertson orders were entered
admitting to probate last
will and testament of deceased.
Mrs. j. E. Robertson was ap-
praiser without bond. R. j.
Swearingen, N. E. Dover and G.
G. Bolts were appointed ap-
praisers. In the estate of VIM.
Watson, deceased, the inventory
and appraisement were examined
and approved.
The only case tried on the
criminal docket, that of Charley
Robertson, charged with adul-
terry, resulted in an acquittal. In
this case fine of $40 twas entered
against Carl Schulze for disobey-
ing @ subpoena.

CONFIDENCE HAS RETURNED.

Mr.. Henry Clews opens his last fin
ancial circular with the statement that
Men of finance have confidence in the
future" If there have been any lin
gering doubts as to the early return
of prosperity this expression from Mr.
Clews should settle them. Over and
over again during the past year the
people have been told that all that was
necessary was a return of confidence.
1t has arrived. Nobody is better able
to form a correct opinion the matter
than the great broker, and he says it
is here.
Not only has confidence been restored
to US, but, according to the same au-
thority, there is a marked reaction
from the ante-election silver craze
Thus has another stumbling block been
removed from the pathway Of returning
prosperity.
He assures the country that Bryan
and Organism are becoming discredited
SO far as respects their currency theo-
ries. and are now showing more dis
money question upon sOunder cOndi-
tons. There is also a reaction from
the violent spirit in politics, which
helps to lessen the apprehension on that
score. The masses begin to discover
that they have taken too large a dose
of Organism, and are now applying to
other doctors for relief from it's nau-
seating effects. To a very important
class of people. perhaps nothing could
be more assuring than this manifest
reaction from violent radicalism-
In relation to the cabinet appoint
ments already made Mr. Clews says:
1.-The president-elect's selections for
the two leading positions in his cabi-
net have had an assuring effect. The
feeling is general that the peace and
good order of the country will be safe
in the hands of Mr.. Sherman. Mr..
Cages acceptance of the treasury port
folio affords an accession of strength
to the sound money sentiment of the
country. The new president and his
secretary of the treasury viii without
much doubt give a distinct direction to
the financial policy of the Republican
party and of its representatives in con-
! gress This is an invaluable contri-
! button towards confidence among the
! class who control our financial inter-
! ests'
| The circular concludes as follows:
1.-THE Improvement in conditions here
| noted and the more hopeful aspects
| generally have a silent but very pow
| erful influence in favor of confidence.
| They are factors which appeal especial
| " to men of sagacity and of large
| means and upon whom the value of
! investments largely depends. The but
| tressing of confidence at this point
| regard as of the utmost Importance in
! restoring a healthy tone in Wall street
| affairs"

DIAz WONDERFUL WORK.

what no other ruler of modern times

Mexico have been simply wiped out. 1t

something else for him to do; and he

more to his taste, to take part in.the

He would rather upbuild than tear
down, if he has chance, even if there

FANNY DAvENPoRrs THEORY.
[From Theatrical Tidings.l


IF the dramatic profession fully I'M
derstood the relations that now exist
between the player and the audience"
says Fanny Davenport, less cause
would be given for estrangement be-
tween them. Theatrical people gener-
ally look on the outer world in false
light and regard society, if not as an
enemy, at least not as friend. In the
majority of cases they feel that the
audiences, watch them only with curl
osity, and that the interest of the au-
ditors ceases when the play is ended
but the fact is that many theaters draw
much of their support from the per-
sonal and friendly magnetism that
their leading women possess over young
girls in society. There is a certain
quality of hero worship in immature
womanhood that is aroused into en-
thusiasm by the charms, if not the tall
ent, of an actress. Men mainly judge
the qualities of an actress in a cold
and analytical manner; women estimate
them hastily, with enthusiasm and
principally from sensory impressions.
But while generally speaking, women
cannot criticize, they can bring success
to an actress, and although their judg
ment of a play is doubtful, the material
aid they give to the stage is beyond
question.
