fed not to appear, as there will be no
ury cases tried, and the grand jury will
not report for duty until Sept. End
Only equity cases and defaults will be
heard at the coming term which it was
expected would be big term. DR.. j.
w. Crotford's case was to have been
tried and the witnesses on both sides
had been subpoenaed, but the case has
been postponed until the November
term.

The construction work on the main
line Of the Burlington road in the west
ern part of Iowa is making rapid pro.
gress.. The twenty-four miles of double
track from hurry to Creston is almost
completed. From Creston to Red Oak
nearly three thousand laborers are en-
gagged in the gigantic task of changing
the course of the main track, elimina-
ting curves, etc. 1t is stated that the
line will run from Red Oak to Hastings
over practically the present route,
thence to Pacific junction direct, with
no more than one per cent curve and
no greater than forty feet to the mile
grade. Such line will leave Malvern
the first station west of Hastings, two
miles to the south, Hillsdale, one-half
mile to the north, and Glenwood, the
county seat, three miles to the north of
the new line. Permanent stakes are
now being driven.

1t will be matter of but few weeks
now until a new coin will be in circula.
ton which will be a distinct departure
from all rules and usages in American
coinage. All our middle aged readers
remember what nuisance the old three
cent piece was-just the size of dime
and could hardly be told from it. 1t
has, in consequence of the general rage
against it, disappeared from circulation.
The need of the three cent piece has
continued however, and the govern
ment met the occasion by the adoption
of the Chinese idea-made the coin
with the hole in the center, it has
already been nick-named "the dough-
nut and doubtless will be known by
that name as long as it continues in cir.
culation.

SKATING ON THE ASPHALT.
Young America Discovers Easy Mode
 of IOcOmotiOn.

A couple of City hall officials were standing aS one of the office windows the other day when they noticed a small boy, with a pair of roller skates under his arm and a dog by his side, halt and pass several satisfactory glances across the nice, smooth. as- phalt pavement which adorns West Main street at this point. Then the boy squatted down on the curb and buckled on his rollers. In short or der he was skimming over the as- phalt, the dog scampering at his side, apparently enjoying himself as thor oughly as his young master.
 There is a little grade from the cen ter to Leavenworth street, and 1t took "Young America but short time to discover that by giving his rollers q good start from Exchange place, he could "coast' almost the entire dis tance occupied by the asphalt. He enjoyed this new feature for some time, leisurely skating from Leaven- worth street to the center and flying full speed on the return trip down.
 Suddenly an idea seized the lad. It was to use the dog as means of loco motion on his upgrade trips. That dog was dead easy" He allowed his master to point his head toward the center and upon hearing such terms as 'stc 'em! cats. s-Z-z-Zn' he made a bee line ahead. A tug at his appen- dage caused him to turn his head once or twice, but few more 'sics' and he forgot the weight he was towing along in his anticipation of meeting cat around the corner. Just before ar irving at his termination the boy let loose his "bunches of i've" turned and started back on his downward 'coast.' Attachment to his master made the dog forget everything of cats and he turned and followed. The boy evi- dently liked the dog. too. for he was very much "attached' to him on sev- eral more trips like the one just de- scribed. The dog soon became accus- toned to the trick and it was the boy who first tired of 1t.
 During one of these trips, a couple of women happened along. One of them, rather elderly lady, was the first to notice the skater. When she saw him grasp the dogs tail and start of, she almost went into mysteries. The scene struck her as being so very funny that she was obliged to stop, double almost in two and reach faint ly toward her companion for support, while tears ran down both cheeks. So hearty was her laughter that it be- came contagious and the watchers in the City hall found themselves con- vulsed watching the effect of the scene on the woman, who reluctantly contin- ued on, now and then turning her head to see If the boy were about to repeat his performance. But the boy had enough of it about then and started off.
 The City hall men hope to see him around there again some day.
