FINED
For Assault on John Modispaugh, But
Anna Modispaugh Takes an Appeal.

Mrs Anna Modispaugl, wife OF Da.
vid Modispaugh, was given a hearing
Monday forenoon by Justice James n.
David, on warrant sworn out by her
brother,in-Inw, John Modispaugh. She
was accused Of assaulting him. The evi.
dence showed that she went to Johns
house last Friday noon and raised a
racket over child. He claims that she
slapped him, but she says she did not,
and that he put her out of the house.
The weight OF the evidence, however,
seemed to be on the complainanRs side.
md the magistrate imposed fine OF $5
and costs1 She asked THAT the fine be
raised TO $40, 50 that She could appeal
thc case TO the circuit court. This was
done and the appeal was taken.

@UEERLY enough, when considered
as an abstract proposition,
~ science has done almost as much
for the amusement Of man as for
- the amclioration Of his condition
in other directions. No great discovery or
invention has been handed forth for general
use but has been almost Immediately
adopted for the purposes Of the stage, that
mimic world, where the mirror is held up to
nature that every man may see therein all
natures but his own. II may be that from
an exact literary standpoint the modern
staEccraft has made but slight il any ad-
vance over that OF the ancicnts, but in "A
purely mechanical way the progress is
such as occasionally astonishes even one

with a success that is all but marvellous.
Realism has been the keynote of the art
world for more than two decades, and while
the ideal still has its place and its
devotees, the worshipcrs at the shrine Of
the real have become more numerous than
were all the visitors to the fame not
so very long ago. On the stage we have
had tank plays and sawmill dramas, and
almost every conceivable form of llfe's me-
chanical adjuncts has been presented in a
"practical' shape. Sometimes the realism
has been carried to an extreme, as, for eX-
ample, during the production OF a sawmill
play in "A Council Bluffs theater a few years
