Whitman's grandmother was
Quaker, and the bard had been all his
life used. Quaker fashion, to sitting in
the house with his sombrero ON IL 1t
suited him to do SO. One day, with
friend, he entered the gloomy and half
empty precincts of Trinity church,
New York, and took back seat In the
obscurity and for moment forgot
to remove his hat or was probably just
about to do so when an officious verger
stepped up and requested him to take
1t off.
Walt, man of immense pride, not
seeing fit to do so lnstantaneously or
being very slow In his mental proc
esses, was taking the matter into con-
sideration for second when the
verger knocked the offending hat off
his head. Walt picked up the huge
felt and, doubling it together, smote
the fellow vigorously twice or thrice
with 1t on the head and slowly left

ment and Indictment of grand jury,
in which the alleged offense is speci-
fically described; and this is done to
the end that the accused may know, In
all cases, exactly and precisely the ma
turc of the accusation against him, and
so that he may be prepared to meet
that accusation before traverse jury.
The indictment In this case contains
two counts, which | will read.
Breads indictment)
These counts, so-called while they
are distinct charges, are not materially
different. In one count you will notice
that the charge Is, that the money
was offered TO obtain from said Dan
lei McGarry, as a City Commissioner
the consideration, recommendation and
approval Of a certain ordinance propos-
ing and purporting to grant The Cen
tral Union Telephone Company, cor
poration, the right aud privilege to
erect and maintain certain poles, and
string wires thereon, in the city of
Akron, and in the second count, it is
alleged, that the offer was made with
Intent then and there and thereby to
obtain, procure and influence the opin-
ion, Judgment, recommendation, ap-
proval, and vote of said McGarry, as
Commissioner, with respect to his otfi-
cial duty, as said Commissioner.
These two counts cover substantially
the same transaction as claimed by the
state, and were framed in this way,
very likely, to meet the possible varia-
tions of the testimony.
And the issue in this case is, whether
or not the defendant, Harvey G. Gar
Der, is or is not guilty, upon both or eli
ther one of these counts, and of the
offense, or offenses, therein specifically
described.
And in this connection, / should sny

criminal cause that you have had be-
fore you, that the finding of an indict-
mont, by a grand jury, is no evidence
whatever against the accused. That Is
not the purpose Of the finding of the
grand jury. 1t Is merely the method
Of procedure, and the only way In
which man can be lawfully placed
upon trinl for n crime in this state.
The proceedings OF the grand jury are
secret The accused is not present and
has no right to be present, either in
person or by counsel; he cannot call
witnesses to make mis- defense. 1t Is
substantially the evidence that the
stute presents, and that alone, that the
grand jury acts upon; hence, you

WATER AND THE CROPS.

While Salt Lake city finds itself IN
critical position on the question Of wa
ter supply, there are other parts Of the
country sufficiently hard pressed TO
make the water problem a subject Of
serious consideration Notwithstanding
the recent heavy rains in theNorthWest
the loss through drouth was so great as
TO cut or the prospective wheat supply
fully one third. And IN the corn belt Of
Kansas. Nebraska and Oklahoma,
where the wheat crop turned out wen,
the recent scarcity Of water has serious

creased the demand on the wheat sup
ply. OF course the latter is not run so
short ms 10 threaten a real scarcity Of
foodstuns. but Il is sufficiently below

sure substantial rise In prices.
The absence Of rain IN various sec
lions has done more than touch the
wheat and corn. In an the districts af-
fectel. the loss in vegetables has been
quite heavy. In this respect Utah hos
been "a considerable sufferer, and a gen.
araI shortage Of crops from the yield

not bee enough to class as a disaster
but 10 comes as a serious burden.
The cause Of this falling OF is the
limited water supply; not altogether
that there has not been enough Of the
