One of the Third street merchants has
displayed in his show windows a copy
of the New York Post which was printed
on November It'll, 1888. or l2l years ago.
The paper is owned by F. p. Stone and
has been relic in the family for sever
al generations. 1t is pretty well pre-
served considering the fact that the
paper and printers ink used in those
days were of a poor quality and the
presses used we're crude affairs The
paper is small and quite curiosity to
present day readers. The old English
style of spelling is followed in many in-
stances, and where it was necessary to
use double s, the long precedes the
short one. While the state of New
York is toby the greatest dairy state
IN the union, at that time conditions
were different as is witnessed BY an ad.

CIRCUIT COURT.

| All of the past week has been con-
sumed in circuit court in taking testi-
mcay ard making arguments in the
case of the State of Wisconsin vs. Il. A.
Voyer, the defendant being charged
with forgery The district attor-
ney closed his argument yesterday
afternoon, and attorney Wheeian, for
the defense, concluded his remarks last
evening, and the case was given to the
jury at $50. Up to the hour of going
TO press the jury had not returned .
verdict, after being out twenty hours,
and it looks as if disagreement wosld
be the result.
AT several times during the week the
judge has found time to listen to the
marital woes of different parties. Aug.
Braatz was granted divorce from
Mary Braatz; Charles Richmond Sc
cured legal separation from his wife,
Tena; Emma Hannekrat was divorced
from Arthur Hannekrat, and H. E.
Koeppler was given decree against
Louise Koeppler. The latter is an
Oneida county case.
This morning a jury was empaneled
and the taking of testimony commenced
in the case of the State of Wisconsin vs.
P. o. 0leson.
The defendant is charged with en-
bezzlement. The complaining witness
is Acton Eichert. About two years ago
Mr. Eichert desiring to move West to
the state of Washington, turned over his
household effects to 0leSOn for sale.
The stipulations were that the latter
was to sell the goods at the highest
price he could get for them, and after
deductirs commission was to turn
over the proce eds of each days sales
to Mr.. Eichert in the evening at six
venient. Mr.. Eichert AYERS that while
Oleson sold the goods at fair price, as
he states he can prove by the testimony
of witnesses who bought them, yet he
never received but s13 on the deal,
made in two payments. Oleson, on the
other hand, claims that he offered to
make a fair settlement with Mr.. Eichert
but the latter rejected his offer. 1t is
quite likely that all testimony in this
case will be submitted today and the
case given the jury this evening. The
defendant is represented by Atty. NJ. B.
Rosenberg.
1t is quite likely that the case of the
state against Wyatte Barner, who is
charged with seduction, will be tried
next.
We learn that Aug. Schuttenberg, of
Pike Lake, who is charged with MUIR
der, will not be tried until the February
term

FATHER DEM0REST
DETAINED AT ELLIS ISLAND
as Missionary, But 10 Refused
Landing.

A dispatch from New York says:
Father Noel Demorest, Roman Cath
olic priest, has been detained at Ellis
Island and his exclusion is likely, In
spite of the fact that for nine years
he labored as missionary among the
Navajo Indians of New Mexico. He
came to America in 1892, but two years
ago returned to France. When the
La Touraine arrived in port on her
last voyage he was taken to Ellis ISL
and, being ill with tuberculosis. The
law does not permit the landing of an
alien thus affected, and he has only
his first citizenship papers. He says
he took up land in New Mexico under
the homestead act and that he thought
this equivalent to becoming citizen"

Special to the New Mexican.
Las Vegas, March 1.-The largest
primary in the hisory of this precinct
was held in the city hall last night.
The meeting was called to order at
eight o'clock by John S. Clark, chair
man OF the precinct committee. The
call was read and Clark was nominated
chairman by Frank Springer. George
w. Ward was nominated by S. B. Da-
Wis. Clark then called for a standing
vote for himself. Disgruntled Republi-
cans and many Democrats rose in his
favor. Two hundred men were stand
ing in the hall because of inability to
get seats. Clark called for standing
vote for Ward. a great body of Re-
publicans rose with mighty cheers.
Clark declared himself elected. Imme-
diately pandemonium broke loose
Calls to poll the vote and for divis-
ion of the house were utterly disre-
garded. Chairman Ward finally
mounted window sill and rallied the
regular Republicans around him and
to elect delegation to the
county convention, while the Clark
faction did likewise on the other side
of the hall A division of the house
would undoubtedly have shown ma
jority for the regular Republicans
