DISTRICT COURT.
Edgar Allen Found Guilty. Other
Court News.


The case of the State VS. Edgar Allen,
was commenced Monday. The state
was represented by County Attorney
F. II. Blume assisted by w. A. Fol
lett, of Atlantic, while J. M. Graham,
assisted by Mr.. Hudspeth, of Atlantic,
We're for the defendant. The indict-
ment charged defendant, Edgar Allen,
a young man, OF Extra, with having
obtained money under false pretenses
from Miss Nellie Krittenbrink, of
Atlantic.
The evidence showed the two were
engaged to be married, that Allen had
but little or no money, that Miss
Krittenbrink was infatuated with
Allen, that she had money and gave it
to him quite freeley, that he repre-
sented to her that he had business
proposition on hands, the purchase OF
dray line, in which he needed to use
$500, that he had 5000 of his own, and
he thus secured 5000 from her sent by
draft to Extra. He got the draft
cashed and then left for Ohio, from
whence he was brought by Sheriff
Anderson. The state introduced some
evidence to show that Allen had boast
cd he was working the girl for money.
The case hinged on whether defendant
misrepresented in order to get possess
sion of the money. Defendants at
torneys introduced some testimony to
show Miss Krittenbrink knew Allen
had no money. Defendant did not go
on the stand himself.
The case was well conducted, Mr..
Blume especially doing able work.
The case went to the jury about six
O'Clock Tuesday evening. They were
out all night, bringing in verdict of
guilty at 8 a. m. Wednesday. A new
trial is being asked for today.
In the case of Swim VS. Robson which
was on trial last week when we went
to press, the jury returned verdict
of 1850 for plaintiff. A new trial is
being asked for in that case in the
court today. .'...
In the case of Oaks VS. Stanley in
which plaintiff claimed sale of hay
amounting to $3.50, jury found for
plaintiff.
The Edwards VS. Kraft case was con-
tinued.
DeLano VS. Anderson was an action
to subject real estate in payment of a
judgment. Attorney DeLano was col
lecting attorney fees from A. r. and
d. B. Anderson. A settlement was
reached yesterday, $400 being paid,
5000 having been claimed.
The jury has been dismissed and
court will likely adjourn soon.

Fl. w. Stearns, new road supervi-
sor for Leroy township, is meeting
lots of difficulties in looking after the
roads in his big district. The almost
constant rains of the past four weeks
have undermined a great many of the
dirt approaches to bridges and Gull
verts and have made them so soft that
they cave in. The condition of the
soil is so wet that it is impossible to
put in new entertainments now. Mud
doesn't make entertainments. In MANY
places he has had to lay planks and
make temporary repairs, and will fol-
low as soon as the weather and soil
become good and make more perma-
nent repairs. Mr.. Stearns wishes us
to remind the farmers in his township
that he will soon call on them for
their money road tax, two mill levy,
so as to get money to do this work
with. He is also having trouble to
get help when he needs it. We pre-
sumo about the same conditions exist
in the other districts of the county.
1t is proving poor year to test the
new road law.

But the funniest thing is that Bro.
Spencer is too modest to be a, candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for representative. He repels our
mild insinuation that he is in the list
of eligibles for that place. May we
look for him soon to resign the editor
ship of the Advocate because he
doubts his ability to run II? We had
thought that one who was qualified to
creditably conduct a county newspa-
per was perhaps qualified to represent
his county in the legislature. Did we
put the standard OF the editor too
high or that of the legislator too lowY
Or is 1t possible that Bro. Spencer
agrees with Carlton in his estimate of
the material needed for an editor, that
when the boy is found that is of NO
account for anything else they will
make an editor out o. him."

ship, declares he likes this rolling,
billy country. He moved out here
from fiat part of Illinois about two
years ago, place where, when it
rained like it has here recently, the
water took its time very leisurely to
run off or soak away, spending often
some weeks at it. He says that Audu-
bon county farms can stand either the
drouth or the wet weather better than
the fiat country.

Memorial Day,

Memorial Day last Saturday was
cold and rainy, thus sadly interfering
with the nice program which had been
arranged and prevented the usual gen.
eral observance of the occasion by
our people, When the hour came for
the public meeting it was raining q
steady drizzle with q strong east
wind. The attendance at the church
was therefore small. Those on the
programme, however, were there.
Owing to the absence of the president
OF the day, ID. G. Mott was called to
the chair. The music was of high
character, patriotic and beautifully
rendered. w. C. Elliott was the or
ator of the occasion and delivered an
able address altogether worthy of the
occasion. 1t had excellent literary
finish, was noble and patriotic through
out and good in poetic expression and
was well delivered. Mr.. Elliott adj
vanced his reputation as public
speaker. That part of the program at
the cemetery had to be deferred. Sun
day the old soldiers went to the Gem
etery and decorated the graves of
their departed comrades.

Peculiar Greetings.

1t is very interesting to the Ameri-
can who travels, to observe the various
methods of greeting made use of BY
the different nationalities. Whether he
be in his own country or in some for
sign cline each retains the characters
tics of the land of his blood. The En-
glishman gives a hearty clasp of the
hand; the joyiaI German clasps you on
the shoulder; the excitable F'renchman
falls on your neck and weeps; the
swarthy Spaniard, in conjunction with
the hand-shake, embraces you; the
Chinaman. in his idea of cleanliness.
shakes his own hands; the Japanese
clasps his own hands and bows low.
These customs are in a measure the
pulse of the nations represented, not a
criterion of the individual.
Now see the American, he looks you
steadfastIy in the eye and says: "The
PATENT CLOSET is fully
guaranteed against leakage and the an
noyance of running water"

While remaining comparatively cool at

gravity to be 2.39, it's specific heat 10,

end of a small fragment could be held

indefinitely in the flame of a blow pipe,
almost like stick of sealing wax. The
mean temperature of the hottest stone
of the upper layer, as deduced from
the above data, was about 1900 degrees,
