 CT Proceedings.

The case of H. A. Mehnert against Whit Wall, travelling representative of the Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, for damage alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff in an assault made by the defendant on April 24th, which was appealed from Justice Martins court, came up in the circuit court Thursday after the lower court and judgment had been entered against Wall for $8O.78, which the jury in Judge Fulkerson's court modified to $68.35. A number of witnesses were intro duced by the defense for the purpose of showing the estimated damage to stock of cigars carried by Mr. Meh- nert to be excessive and as further evidence upon this point, the produc- tion of the goods was demanded in court.
 The attorneys in the case were George HillhOuse for the plaintiff and Jos. M. and Jno. W, Stayton for the defendant.

THEY PLAYED POKER.
Proceedings of Criminal Court Mon day.-Disposition of Numerous Gaming Charges.-Grand Jury Reports 82 In-
 dictments.
ETGHTY-TWO INDICTMENTS.

The grand jury on Monday morning reported the finding of eighty-two in dictments, which were rather expected by the changers on" about court and those who have tried to keep tab on the drift of the proceedings of that body.
 The number of witnesses which had been summoned before that body in it's four days sitting last week, indi- cated that affairs over the county were going to be looked into, and that Newport was not to be passed by either was evident from the fact that many of her citizens had been sub- poenaed to tell what they knew, we suppose, of "blind tigers' and the like. While the returned indictments are known only to the court officials and the officers executing the same, the number of them make it certain that previous surmises were we'll ground ed and that something is going to hap pen, which will soon become general { news.
 CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS. The opening day of criminal court was we'll attended, as spectators are as rule more interested in criminal proceedings than those of a civil na- ture.
 Most of the cases brought up were on the charge of gaming and the final entry in nearly all of these was a fine of $10 and costs imposed upon the de- fendant, many of whom plead guilty to playing poker and took their medi cine with good grace.
 State vs D. o. and c. c. Kirkland, plaintiff files amendment to complaint. State vs Jake Beal, gaming; plea of guilty, fined $1O.
 State vs Theodore Phillips, gaming; same entry.
 State vs Claud Monroe, gaming; same entry.
 State vs Walter Robinett, gaming; same entry.
 State Vs Ed RObinett, gaming; nOlle prosequi.
 State vs Newt O'Neal, gaming; plea of guilty, fined S10.
 State vs Dee Thornton, gaming; same entry.
 State vs P, B. Waham, dropped from docket until apprehended.
 State vs Pinkie Kemp, dropped from docket until apprehended.
 State vs Sanders Johnson, dropped from docket until apprehended.
 State vs Pleas Mantooth, carrying concealed weapon, trial by jury and verdict of acquittal.
 State vs Robert Earl, dropped from docket, until apprehended.
 THREE DFyORCES GRANTED. No entries were made upon the cir cult court docket, except few di- vorce cases which came up for hear ing.
 w. Jones vs. Luella Jones, di- vorce; decree granted.

Iowa democrats will in all prObabili-

Iowa democrats will in all probabili-
ty have the same trouble to contend
with at their state convention this
month as did the Ohio people. Word
from political headquarters in Des
Moines says that the signs are favor
able for the adoption of platform
similar to .Aat adopted in Ohio, con-
fining the issues to affairs of the
state solely. While there is evidently
powerful sentiment in this direction,
there are not lacking prominent demo-
Gratis who are bitterly opposed to
side-tracking national issues and neg
lecting to reaffirm the Kansas City
platform. The sentiments of J. s.
Murphy of the Dubuque Telegraph,
mentioned as one of the time-tried
and worthy men of the party, are Civ
en- as an indication of how a number
of the leaders regard the side-track.
ing schemes. He declares fatty that
he will bolt the democratic party in
Iowa if the convention fails to reaffirm
the Kansas City platform. Mr.. Muir
ply evidently does not believe in look
ing to the things that are before. His
views on national issues may change
considerably in the next year or two
and it would only seem reasonable
progression to leave old platforms be
hind, and reasonable foresight t.
cease worrying about new PLATFORM
until the time comes to build them.

CARRIERS STOLEN MONEY.

Uncle Sam is making a steady ef-
fort to get hold of the Doodle that
Oberlin M. Carter, late captain of the
United States corps of engineers, is
said to have put away in safe place
in anticipation of the time when he
will be released from the military
prison at Leavenworth, Kas., where he
is now serving a term of imprisOn-
ment for swindling the government in
connection with harbor improvement
contracts at Savannah. The captain
got away with something over two
million dollars, but just what he did
with this product of dishonesty has
not been determined. Several of his
relatives have been Intercepted in
the matter, but no definite conclusion
has been reached by the government
officials as to what became of the
money. The latest development in
the case is the filing of bills against
the captain and L. D. Carter, his
uncle, who is suspected of knowing
all about the disposition of the stolen
millions. It may be that the captain
and his friends may evade for time
Uncle Sans long arm, perhaps until
his release, and enjoy the comforts
his ill-gotten gains can buy. A few
other embezzlers and such like have
succeeded in doing so, and to judge
by the powerful influence Carter was
able to command at Washington to
stave off his punishment, he has a
good chance to succeed along the
same lines But it is to be hoped, If
only as a lesson to public officials
who might be tempted to follow in his
steps, that the attorney generals de-
partment will succeed in it's efforts
to locate the spells and compel the
holders to disgorge. That the captain
on his release should find himself dis
honored in his profession and compel.
ed to earn his living by hard work
is as just as is his present confine
ment, and it would be a scandal and
| menace to every legal and moral oh
legation should he be allowed to live
in ease on the proceeds of his dishon
| orable actions.
