District Court.

District court convened Tuesday,
Judge Green presiding and w. f.. But
Ter acting as reporter. The following
are the grand jury: T. j. Carmichael,
foreman; d; L. Thomas. J. StThomas,
Peter J. Ingerslev, j. HI. Grady, Geo.
Fenstermacher, b. G. Brookfeld. They
are still in session and the public knows
nothing yet of their work.
The case Of the Green Bay Lumber
Co. vs. Henry G. Wells, on the forclos-
ure of a mechanics lien, occupied the
courts attention yesterday. Work in
court seems to be very light Some
probate and routine work has been done,
but very light term is promised. The
petit jury Is called for next week. john
w. Scott, of Atlantic; F. A. Charles of
Coon Rapids; b. l. Salinger, of Carroll;
and B. McCrary, of Lake City are at
torneys from outside the county who
have been in attendance part of the
time.
1t is supposed by the public, although
nothing is known concerning it, that the
grand jury will find bill against young
Cunningham. AS to whether bill will
be found against Miss Hepp there is but
little said or scarcely an opinion offered.
Cunningham was brought in court
Tuesday. He desired the county to
furnish him an attorney in case he is
indicted, saying he has DO money with
which to pay one. He desired the ap-
pointment of MIR Salinger and the c@eart
therefore named Salinger. After con-
sideration Mr.. Salinger said he would
accept if Mr.. Mosier was appointed to
assist. The court said he could appoint
but one counsel, but that Mr.. SalingeY
could appoint an assistant and make
whatever division of the pay he desired.
So it is understood Messrs. SalingsV
and Mosier will be Cunningham's at
torneys If bill is found the suppose
ton is the trial will take place next
week

THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

Unlike the modern temple
The little building white
HAD no Eayly frescoed ceiling.
Or stained glass windows bright.
Inere was 60 costly organ.
Or fashions choir to sing,
0ut Pheasant are the memories
That round the old church cling.
The high seats In the building.
With cushions faded red,
The quaint. o,d-fashioned pulpit
With sounding board Ger head.
The aged pastor. feeble,
Who preached OF joys above
And read from little psalm book
The old hymns that We love.
Once more I see 4 maiden
In the old familiar place,
Her yellow curls are floating
Around her girlish face:
Her singing. like a Wild bird,
Comes back through vanished years:
Gently. Lord. Oh. gently lead US
Through this lowiy vale OF tearsi"
That bird voice, ringing clearly.
Seemed to us so strangely sweet.
As every Sabbath morning
She sat in leaders" seat.
Were M!ed with unshed tears
As she fmplored: "Oh. give US
Rich grace in all our fears.'
Uncustivated. natural.
That voice In music rose
Like wild bird soaring heavenward.
In hymns that brought repose.
And deep peace gently stealing
Ger all. In sacred place.
As sweetly she repeated:
''Oh. refresh Us with thy grace!"
To-day In q church OF fashion
/ listen to Quartette,
With hymns and variations
10 modern music set:
And I think the old tunes sweetef
OF years now passed away,
When yellow-haired young singer
Could the emotions sway.

The old monitors Of the civil war

in the present war, during which they

in the various ports on the Cuban and
Puerto Rican coasts. It is understood
that they will be assigned for duty.
probably early in the fall or as soon
as the details Of command and muster
OF men from the regular force OF the
navy can be arranged. These vessels
will be turned over to the navy depart
ment as rapidly as the naval reserves
are mustered out. Two, which have
been carrying naval militia from New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. are laid up
at the League Island navy yard, Phil
adelphia, and the others are in various
Earbors on the Atlantic coast. These
vessels are of two classes, the first.
Of 2,10O tons, consisting Of the Ajax,
Canonicus, Mahopac, Manhattan and
Wyandotte. and the second, OF 1875
tens, comprising the Comanche, Cat
skill, Jason, Lehigh, Montauk. Nahant
and Nantucket. The Comanche is on
the Pacific coast and will not be in
cluded in the detail for service in the
West Indies.
Every one of the monitors was over
hauled prior to the breaking out Of the
Spanish war and put into effective
condition, as much as SIS, 900 being ex-

ing shadow of the creature % it
crosses an open space. The leopard is
now so near that the hunter tries no
longer to follow his movements, but
watches only the goat.
Hitherto the leopard's approach has
been noiseless. Now there comes the
sound of swift rush through the low
plants and bushes, and where the goat
had stood there are two animals. one
snarling fiercely as he crushes the
other to the ground. This is the hunt

suddenly in a narrow gorge one day
while hunting wild sheep. Just beyond
where I started the leopard the gorge
ended in cliff too steep for him to

to escape without going by or over me.
1t is commonly said that the snow

The Sea Lawyers speech.

Here is one OF the humors of the war:
When the cruiser Topeka was brought
across the ocean her officers had :
merry time with the British crew. The
vessel was built for Portugal. and her
name, when our government purchased
her, was the Diogenes. On the third
day out from Liverpool her officers de-
cided to mount q few guns, but when
the orders were issued, there was loud
grumbling among the crew. Having
noticed the prevailing mutinous spirit,
the lieutenant in command had the
troublesome men called before him and
asked what was wrong. The leading
sea lawyer Of the party stepped for
ward and made the following brief and
pithy speech: "When We shipped on
this ere vessel, sir, she was in 4 British
ward, an We thort she was British from
stem to stern. But the anchors No

FORTUNES IN os1ER GROWING.
Men who Plant willows Will Reap .
Large Financial ProAt "A
GPowlng Industry.

Osier growing is an industry that has
4 great future before it in the United
States. Experts of the department OF
agriculture have been investigating the
subject recently, and they declare that
fortunes await enterprising persons
who will thus utilize the vast tracts of
land available for this purpose. Plant
ed with the species of willows useful
for basket making, tens Of Thousands
Of acres that are worthless for any
thing else could be made to pay an
enormous interest on the investment
not less, in fact, than 20 or 80 per cent.
1t is absolutely necessary, however,
that the proper varieties should be OBJ
tanned, else the speculation will not be
success. The average dealer is not to
be trusted on such point.
The willowware industry, though as
yet in its infancy in this country, has
been slowly growing during the last
few years. In 1890 there were in the
United States, according to the census,
403 willowware establishments. with
capital of $2,7OO,0OO, employing 3.732
persons. paying annually the sum OF
81 ,269 900 for wages. and producing $3,-
ga, 600 worth of manufactured ware
The value of raw material consumed
was 81 ,39s. .5O0-an increase of 81 pei
cent. over that used in 1880.
The United States consumes greater
quantity Of willowware than any other
country in the world. Our imports OF
fine ware from one district in Germany
amount to about $z30.OO0 per annum
Willow baskets, hampers, chairs. etc.
have become a staple industrial article,
and the demand for them is enormous;
in fact. it is far greater than the sup
ply. Sawed-wood and split-wood bas'
kets are used largely for shipping
fruits. but these can never take the
place Of the strong. light and durable
willow baskets for many other pur-
poses. Up to the present time the viii

eei1ed comparatively little attention
