A czar in the desert is only man.
The czar himself can get muddy il
he steps in the mud.
Even the crown Of the czar cannot
cure headache.
The czar's crows cannot have more

A drop of water in the eye Of the
czar costs the country a great many
handkerchlefs.
When the czar makes you a present
Of an egg he expects of you hen.
The czar can disturb the earth, but
he cannot move it from its axis.
The czar knows not misery because
he does not live in a cabin.
The arm of the czar is long, but 1t
cannot reach to the sky.
The voice of the czar has an echo
even when there are no mountains.
The ukases of the ear are worth
nothing if God says not Amen

Dress In Japan.

Between the sexes in Japan there is
very little difference in the main fea-
lures Of dress, and little children are
only beautiful little miniatures of their
parents. more gayly and richly dressed.
Under his kimono man of the upper
class wears u sort of Killed divided
skirt, something approaching the ma
ture of trousers. This is called the
"hakama" and is always made of stiff
silk. A woman wears instead an un-
der kimono. Both sexes wear two lit
tie aprons round the loins, called
'koshi-maki," and sort of shirt called
the ''suso- yoke" The narrow sash
worn by man is not an Item of great
Importance. for although it Is always
made Of rich SILK, II is nor so much for
shew as for use. to keep the kimono In

THE COURT GRIND,
White-capping Case From Bo
yer Township Now On.
NO COURT THANKRGlvlNG.
A Large Number of Unimportant
Equity Gases Disposed Of. Libel
Case Against Bulletins Heard.

Since our last issue the district
court has disposed of quite a number
of equity cases. The case Of Knight VS.
Hess, which was on trial at the time of
our going to press last week, was de-
ded by the jury in favor of the de.
fendant This was the second trial of
the case. the jury haylng disagreed
at the session of court last term after
two or thres DAYS session, Ii was a
case for the recovery of commission in
real estate transaction and created
quite little interest.
In the case of Walker and Davis vs.
Daz, which was suit for payment for
a cement walk made by the planuff
for the defendant, judgement was rem
dered in favor of the plaintiffs in the
sum of Sll600
A number of the unimportant cases
were continued while in several the
defendants made no appearance and
judgment was rendered for the plain
titfs as PRAYED.
This week the libel suit brought by
Mr. Ward Ellis of Carroll against the
Bulletin was taken up Mr..
Ellis claims damages for a
statement which the BulletiE
made last June in which the plaintiff
was accused of stealing thirty cents
from the home of Mrs. Seymour while
canvassing for q nursery house. Aftel
thel publication of the article mention
ed Mr.. Ellis denied taking the money
and the ext week refractory state
ment was published in the Bulletin
which, however. did not prove salts
factory to the plaintiff, and he at once
commenced suit for the recovery o
damages.
The whole Gaze was fought out ovel
the question as to whether Mr.. Eli.
actually took the money, the instruc
sions of the court being. that If tn,
charges madein the article were NO
true, then the statenent was libellou
and the plaintiff is entitled to recove
damages. Tee jury returned verdic
for the defendant. but on q special in
terrogatory propounded to them by th'
plaintiff, they said that MIR. Ellis dit
not, in their oppinion, take the money
In the face of this contradictory verdic
the court may use Its own discretion il
rendering judgement for the plaintiff
or in ordering new trial.
Yesterday and today the white caI
ping case from Boyer township was o
trial. On the night Of October lC
Jacob Schaupp of Boyer township wa
called out of his bed and was severel
whipped and beaten by number {
men wearing handkerchiefs over thei
faces. The beating was witnessed b
HE children, who claim that they re-
ognized some of the men oy their voice
and others by reason OF their mask
falling off. The evidence OF the plai
tiff will be in the.hands of the ju,
some time today.
Court will take vacation durir
Thanksgiving when Judge Church wi

rived grand daughter.
