A PEARL IN THE MIRE.

DR.. Eugene May of Washington,

Pearl in the Mire." The subject per-
tains to Cuba, the island being the
Pearl of the Antilles, now pulling it.
self from the Spanish mire. DR.. May
is in Havana at the present time, and
will arrive here just in time to deliver
the lecture for which he is billed. He
was in that city at the time of the ex-
plosion of the Maine, and it is certain
that his lecture will graphically por-
tray the explosion, the excitement in
the city, and other details connected
with the Spanish murder of American
sailors, and destruction of American
property.
DR.. May is lecturer of consider
able note, he having filled 200 dates in
IL months, and he has six subjects be-
sides the one mentioned above. He has
trayeled through Switzerland, through
the Yellowstone Park on bicycle,
through the land Of the shillalah and
the shamrock, through the heart of the
Sierras, including the Yosemite valley,
through Italy, where he witnessed an
irruption of Vesuvius, and has de-
tails Of the eternal city of Rome.
His appearance here will be under
the auspices of the Epworth League
of the Methodist church. The event
will occur at the opera house. The
price OF admission will be 35c. and
25c., and, no doubt, the event will
draw out big crowd. Speaking of
him as lecturer, the Stevens Point,
Wis, Journal, says: "Dr. Eugene
May lectured at St. Pauls M. E.
church Friday evening on his trips
through Yellowstone Park with bicy-
Gle. He has been through the Park
number of times and speaks of it's
many wonderful features in manner
which portrayed perfect familiarity
with the scenes. The speaker is pos
sessed of a clear, ringing, musical
voice, and he used it we'll. For more
than two hours he poured forth his
word painting of the mysterious form

The April term of the district for
Redwood county will convene at the

The grand jury has been summoned
for that day, and after the charge by
Judge Webber, will Immediately pro-
ceed to consider the cases which have
already been before Justices court, as
we'll as any new cases that may be
brought before the body. The case
of w. j. Ruddy of Waterbury,
charged with the larceny of buggy
belonging to Mrs. F. L. Carpenter of
this city, will be one of the cases con-
sidered, while the sandbagging of
Hal Wing, the Chinese laundryman
of this city, will be another.
The preliminary call of the calen-
dar will occur on Tuesday, after the
charge to the grand jury, and on
Wednesday morning the petit jurors
will appear for duty. The first case
tried will be civil, as County Attorney
Clague will not move a call of the
criminal cases until after the grand
jury adjourns. One of the criminal
cases that will be tried this term will
be the case of the State against Gus
tav Metag, indicted for the murder of
Fred. Kuehn, on the latter's farm in
Sherman township in August of last

made to have the case continued, but

motion, and unless the defense has

President Mckinley has not used what
is known as "the Presidents ROOM as his
Office for long time. His office is now Ia
the ''cabinet room," which he seems to pre-
fer to the other. but the change was
brought around as much from necessity
as anything else.
For some months after his Inauguration
the President used '.the Presidents room"
altogether for the reception of political Wis
itors, retiring to the cabinet room when
engaged in a special conference of some
kind. His conferences with the visitors
took place in the same room where n host
of other visitors were sitting, being carried
on in an undertone. So soon as one visitor
had finished with him another walked up.
All this took place in the room illustrated
in the half-tone. In the course of time the
President changed this by setting aside
this large room a reception or waiting
room for visitors. This room connects by
door with the cabinet room. where the
President now sits. The visitors are ush-
cred sipsly from the reception or "Presl-
dents room" into the cabinet room, where
