10 loving remembrance Of Ethyl NJ
daughter Of John W. and Mary q. MobleJ
who died February 26th, 1900, aged yea
o months and day.
Good bye, Ethyl, little loved one,
God has taken you above,
From this world of sin and sorrow,
To that world Of peace and love,
God needed one more little child
Among his angel band,
And he bent with loving smile,
And clasped our darling's hand.
Gone from our gaze forever,
Gone Ia the one we love,
Gone from this world of sorrow
TO the Saviour's home above.
Little Ethyl was our darling,
Pride Of all our hearte at home,
But an angel came and whispered,
Darling Ethyl do come home.
BY her Aunt Lillian.

A Violent Assault.-John Steward,

last, charged with an assault upon, with in
tent to kill, Stephen b. Dorsey, young
farmer Of the vicinity of Etchison, this coun.
ty. The alleged assault occurred Saturday
afternoon on Mr.. DorseY's farm. 1t seems
that Steward had been in the habit of using
q private road through the Dorsey farm,
and, much to the annoyance of Mr.. Dorsey,
frequently failed TO put up certain bars
which he encountered on his route. He had
been frequently cautioned about his neg
lect, but on Saturday left the bars down as
usual just as the negro was about TO pass
through gate on the farm Mr.. Dorsey met
him and told him that unless he went back
aud put the bars 10 place he could not pass
through the gate, but would have to turn
back This angered the negro, who quick
ly jumped from his wagon and grabbing a
club struck Mr.. Dorsey several blows, pain
fully injuring him about the head and arm.
The negro left Mr.. Dorsey lying on the
ground, a d jumping into his wagon drove
rapidly away.

Criminal Information BiII-A d

Criminal Information Bill "A dis
patch from Frederick city, dated March 90,
gives the following: In speaking of the
criminal information bill introduced In the
General Assembly by Charles G. Waters, a
Delegate from this county and member of
the Frederick bar, providing for the States
Attorney filing criminal information In all
common law and statutory misdemeanors
cases, Chief Judge McSherry to-day said;
"If it makes provision for the trial of mis-
demeanors and petty criminal cases upon
information filed by the States Attorney in
stead oil upon indictments by grand jury,
it is an excellent measure. A large proper
ton of the time OF the grand jury, as every
one who has ever served on the grand jury
knows, is taken up by the ivestigation OF
these misdemeanors and trivial cases. Many
witnesses are summoned before the grand
jury on just such cases. As consequence
of this, much of the expense Of q term Of
court is incurred. First, the witnesses ap-
pear before the magistrate, then before the
grand jury, and then before the court. They
get paid three times for the same case If
the States Attorney is authorized by Mr..
Waters law TO file an information, then the
witnesses need not appear before the grand
jury and that per diem is saved. The time
the grand jury will sit will be materially
shortened, and that per diem will be saved.
The States Attorney upon the knowledge
he gets at the hearing before the magistrate
or from the magistrate files an information,
with the approval of the court, and that
takes the place Of an indictment. | should
say that very material saving would be the
result Of such a measure. 1t is not new
or untried expedient. 1t has worked well
in other counties. There is no danger that
the power thus entrusted TO the States At
torney will be abused. If the bill Of Mr..
Waters covers the ground l have indicated
and goes no further, 1t is worth trial, and
ought to be passed."

Ice palace enthusiasm in St Paul
reached its perihelion in 1888. 1t had re-
ceived its impetus mise and our citizens
began to believe that it was good
thing and were. disposed TO push it along
as late as 1889.
But right here the clerk of the wealth
er stepped in and laid a temporary in
junction on the enterprise Minnesota's
climate was too sultry for ice palaces
Their construction might be feasible up
in Canada; that is, Northern Canada,
where Arctic explorers lose themselves
but for St, Paul? Pouf! We We're too
warm a proposition. And then came
the carpers. some of them real estate
agents. Was an ice palace good
advertisement for st. Paul, or was it
not? That was the question. The fact
that the winter of 1889 was too warm for
such purposes was commented on free
~ by the Northwestern press and with
satisfaction to many.
But not all. There were found a num-
Der of patriotic Minnesotans who be-
lieved in availing themselves of all that
providence vouchsafed to us. They be-
gan to recall the eXhilarating, sparkling
scenes of 1888, when the fairy palace
Eiittered with innumerable twinkling jets
