BARNEY GOES FREE.
Silver Lake Man Acquitted and
Witness Must Pay Costs.

The jury in the district court this
morning brought in a verdict in the
Frank Barney case of not guilty and
further found that the prosecution was
malicious and without probable cause.
The jury was out short time.
The case was brought by Assistant
Attorney General A. L. Redden against
Barney, who lives at Silver Lake. Judge
Redden had another case against him
which he carried through Justice Dis
ney's court and there secured a con-
Viction but he dismissed it in the dis
trict court The prosecuting witness
was L. S. Calkins, who testified that he
was a spotter who was employed to Sc
cure evidence and that he had climbed
into the basement of Barney'S place at
one o'clock at night through a window
and had found there some bottles of
beer and a key. He pointed to three
men in the court room and said he had
drank beer in Barney's place with them.
All of them testified that they had never
drank beer in the place with Calkins.
Calkins was the star witness in the
Harry Croft case, which was also lost
by the state. The finding of the jury

By having the case taken from Silver
Lake to Oakland a large expense was

IS THERE A LOBBY P

Col. Henry Watterson is a believer in
digging an isthman canal and digging it
now. In referring editorially to Senator
SCOTS proposition to investigate a new
route at Mandingo bay involving a tun-
mel instead of locks he says:
"Of course this resolution means that
the railroad lobby seeks to delay the
construction of any canal whatever, and
as long as they can keep the govern
ment investigating and surveying routes
there viii be no danger of actual work
being done on a tranS-isthn1ian water
way. We may expect now to see the
newspapers filed with columns of high =
ly eulogistic articles in praise of this
new route just as they were a few weeks
ago in praise of the Panama route. The
railroad lobby knows how to spend its
money to advantage. We may expect to
hear staid and venerable senators and
pOrtly congressman declaring them
Struction of the canal, but that in the
interest of economy it might be better
and safer to carefully investigate the
San Bias route to the end that the
money OF the plain people may not be
uselessly or eNtravagantly spent. There
are a certain class of interesting citf
zens about Washington, in and out of
office, who were sent there and who are
being kept there by the trans-continen-
tai railroads. and they unblushingly
pose as Representatives of the people, in
spite of the fact that they are merely
attorneys for these vast corporations
The country is too well educated on this
canal question to be longer blinded by
the splendid sophistries of the railroad
lobby. 1t has fought the fight for a
quarter of century, and it is nearing
the end of its resources. Any congress
that would fail to pass a canal bill
would be Indignantly swept from Office
by the people"

it to his pupils. But the element of re-
ligion does not enter into the branches
taught by Prof. Grimsley.
CAUSE OF THE QUARREL.
AS has been stated the rock of evolu-
ton has several times caused a wreck
in the amicabIe relations of DIR. Fisk
and DIR. Countermine. DR.. Fisk consid-
ers DR.. Countermine narrow-m minded,
and DR.. Countermine thinks that DR..
Fisk IS not orthodox.
A few months ago there was a Sun
day school convention held at Shorey.
DR.. Fisk and DIR. Countermine both
were ON the programme for speeches.
DIR. Fisk spoke first, and is said to have
made some remarks which referred to
the religious attitude of DR.. Counter
mine. DIR. Countermine replied to DIR.
Fisk. and for 20 minutes devoted his at
tention to singing attack on the
theories OF DR.. Fisk.
AT another time DR.. Fisk stated in
substance in a regular Sunday discourse
that there was certain minister on
Harrison street not very far away who
was doing more to keep people away
from Christianity than all the other
ministers could undo. The congregation
assumed that DR.. Countermine was the
one referred to-
Incidents like this have not tended to
increase the amicable relations of the
two ministers.
TRUSTEES TALK.
l. H. Greenwood, an alumnuS trustee
of the college, SAYS Il understand that
DR.. Countermine was very severe in his
denunciation of the college. DR. Coun-
termine does not like DIR. Fisk, and 1
think that is the reason of this attack.
All scientists accept the evolutionary
theory. 1t is taught at all colleges.
Washburn is no exception. I don't
know exactly what DIR. Fisk believes,
but / do not believe that he advocates
the Darwinian theory as expounded by
Chas. Darwin. 1 believe that DIR. Coun-
termines story of the old Congrega-
tional minister is overdrawn. 1t has
been colored up,to say the least. Wash
burn has always stood for the theory
of evolution, as far as I know. know
it was taught to me by Prof. Cragin
when L attended Washhurn fifteen years
ago. I have suspected that DR.. Coun-
termine is a narrow minded man, and
this attack of his on Washburn con-
vinces me that such is the case
Arthur J. McCabe, another of the
trustees and n graduate of the college,
says: I'VE all know that DR.. Fisk is
an exceedingly persistent and earnest
advocate of his own views. l think that
it is his ability in pressing his views
of the views themselves which have
aroused so much comment. AS I under
stand DIR. F'isl1's theory, he insists that
God is an essential part of evolution. 1
do not believe that DR. Fisk and DIR.
Countermine can differ very widely on
the essential features of evolution. In
this day and age, every scientist be-
lieves IN evolution. All colleges teach

WILLIAMS GIVES. UP.
Colored Member of Board of Educa-
ton Fails to Adjust Controversy.

c. W. Williams, the cofored member
of the board of education, has failed IN
an effort to end the difficulties between
the colored people of bowman Hill and
the school board over the situation
there. The colored parents still refuse
to send their children to the. Douglass
school.
Il nearly had the matter adjusted. y
said Mr.. Williams. ''and a majority of
the people were in favor of using the
Douglass school if it was put in good
condition and city water put in. 1 told
them that such would be done but a
few of the hot heads would not consent.
One woman. a Mrs. Cherry, wanted to
send her children to the Douglass school
yesterday but was persuaded not to.
The teacher, Mrs. Langston, has been
there every day 1 am sure do not
know what can be done now
