 of Some Horses.

Yesterday afternoon in the criminal court ths case Of Charlie Meyer, charged with the murder of Walter Williams, was called, and atoth sides announced ready fer trial.
 Tire task of selecting a jury was at once begun. Tine following jurors were selected from tine regular vegrire: J. H. Fair, ". D. Riley, J. ". Sandford, E. z. Acton c. R. Nails. J. s. Conwell, M H. Sloan. J. H. Knight. L. L. Laird, H. F.. Mcfarland, S. T Rowland and l.. P. Craigg.
 The witnesses in the case, about twen- ty in number, were sworn and put under rule. 'S
 PLEA OF INSANITY.
 The indictment was than read to the Jury and the defendant dllrough his at torneys, enteused two pleas. First, not guilty; second not guilty by reason of Insanity at the time of the commission of the act.
 Four witnesses fer the state were ex- amined, and court adjourned until g o'clock this morning.
 The murder for which Meyer is now on trial was committed on the 9Oth day of November, 1895, in the wholesale house of McAIilTan, Lee &. Co.,, in MoGrhS ave- nue. Both men were employed as drivers by MoMHgan, Lee & Co.,, and 1t Is said, b.came involved in a difficulty about fee5ing their mules.
 Meyer claims the negro cud1sed him,
 
 ths fiotse interfened and both men we're sent out with their wagons. few hours later they again met at the store, and the quarrel was renewed. Mr. Lee, one of ths proprietors. called Meyer into his office and spoke to him of the difli- cuIty.
 It is alleged that Meyer came out Of the office and opened fire on the negro, who was leaning on the shipping clerks desk, the ball striking him in the head. killing him.
 Meyer was arrested and has. since been confined in the county jail. He is a favorite of the jail authorities, and enjoys the liberty of the corridors and halls. He has acted as inside turnkey for some time.
 Meyer is represented by Col. J. J. Alt man and Richard H. Fries, and the state by Solicitor Charles G. Brown and As sistant Solicitor Hugh Morrow.
 The defendant was apparently obllvi- ous to his surroundings yesterday as he sat by his attorneys in the court room, and gave little notice of what was going on around him.
 The case will probably consume sev- eral days in trial.

ARE YOU DEAF

The ear IL n very delicate and sensitive
structure. II consists of the internal. mid
die and external ear. The external ear re-
ceives sounds; the middle ear conveys
sounds; the Internal ear distributes the
sounds TO the proper portion OF the brain.
The sound is conveyed through the middle
ear by chain OF three minute delicate
bones. These bones are covered with thin.
pink mucous membrane.
The facility to hear depends in n great
measure upon the normal condition Of this
membrane. When the membrane becomes
enngestei by cutarrh, 1t Is liable to thicken
and IL no longer sensitive TO the vibrations
Of air. The hearing IL dulcl, and n tho

OLD BUCKLES REVIVED.

Old time buckles are n feature of
fashions in New York that deserves
more than passing attention. Buckles,
clasps and hooks once claimed n far
larger share of attention thun they do
at present and it was not considered
beneath the dignity of great artists to
rxpend their energies upon the de-
signing of these beautiful ornaments.
Royal patronage even, extended to
this branch of industry and artistic
effort and prizes were often offered for
the best designs Therefore it is nat
ural that the old-fashioned designs
should be fur more curious and beau
tiful than any that are patterned at
present, and that revival OF oId-time
fashions should show some very inter-
esting developments.
