THE KINGS CIGAR.

The king has smoked cigar.
After his escape from the surgeons knife, King Ed
wards hrst craving as was President McKnleys was
for a cigar
President Mckinley died.
The anti-tobacconsts the old women of both sexes,
reioced King Edward is recovering Now is the turn
of the deyotees of My Lady Nicotine to triumph
While King James, who timorous sort of an
old body who has failed to the respect of his
torians, did write a CounteTblast to Tobacco, Mr.
James M Barrie, who is equally as good scotchman
and far better writer the author of of the most
delightful panegyrics OF the fragrant weed ever written
any of the good things Of life.
A list of the smokers of the world comprises good
ly number OF its great men. Thomas Carlyle, Lord
Tennyson, Thackeray, Hawthorne, General Grant,
Mark Twain and host of other iustrious men were
confirmed smokers. Lord Byron wrote some admirable
verses in praise of tobacco Mr. Adophus Trollope
who for the hint to be placed by the side of
his famous brother, recommends the smoking Of
fine cigar Immediately after drinking glass of pure
cream. Even George Sand smoked, although it was
only cigarettes she From his early
manhood King Edward has smoked cigars, good ones
too, having brand of cigars specially made for him
in Cuba
In case the king should grow worse, suppose
that the usual criticism Of the doctors will follow In
the case of man SO habtuated to the pleasant weed
the king the lack of cigar would probably do him
as much harm the indulgence. All smokers, how
ever will agree that it better to take what risk
there is and will heartily wish God the king, that
he may enjoy many good smokes before his
reign and his smoking come to an end.

SOME CRIMINAL
CASES DISMISSED

Upon motion of Dist.-Atty, Eichnor
| Judge Stewart this morning, dismissed
the case Of the State of Utah VS. John
Groesbcll, charged with assault with
intent to commit rape upon Mamie D..
Seoble. The assault occurred IN April,
1901. and Mr. Eichnor considered the
testimony insufficient to convict the
man Of the offense alleged to have been
committed a year ago. Groesebell will
be held TO answer the charge OF assault
upon Mrs Nielsen, the information
having been filed In the district court
today.
Judge Stewart ordered Andrew Muir
ray released on his own reoognizance.
The order WAS made upon the recon-
mcndaiion OF the district attorney,
Murray Is the coored man who Is
charged with assisting Title Williams
TO rob a Chinaman OF $40. The testi-
mony OF the woman Is so conflicting
that the district-attorney was very
doubtful of convicting Murray and con-
sequently asked that he be released.
The Information In the case of the
State OF Utah VS. August Miller was
filed in the district court this morn
ing. The charge against him is petit
larceny instead OF housebreaking as
charged In the complaint originally
filed against him. Miller, few weeks
ago, entered the house OF Elizabeth
Chamberlain and stole q watch and
chain, then departed for Colorado.
where he was captured and brought
back The offense was committed the
day after Miler's release from the
state prison here.
The matter Of passing sentence upon
Robert Gygi. who was convicted of
failure to provide for his infant son.
was continued, by Judge Stewart, until
the third Saturday In May to give the
man chance 70 show the court that
he will provide for the boy In the fu.
ture.
