IN CIRCUIT COURT

The calendar at this term of Cir
cult court has been run off rapidly SO
far, there having been four cases dis
posed of up till the time OF going to
press today, and another started. OF
the five criminal cases, three statute
cases against morality were settled out
Of court, while in the first one on the
calendar, that against James Edward
SevernS, also charged with a crime
against morality. the jury brought in
verdict of not guilty. Severns was
able to prove an alibi on the day in
question, on which the crime was
alleged by the defendant to have
happened.
In the matter of the state against
Peter KnipSchild, charged with aban-
donment of his wife and three child
rem. in defense he alleged that the
wife had abandoned or left him, and
he was not the one to blame. The
jury disagreed with him, however, and
brought in a verdict of guilty. He
has not received his sentence from
the judge as yet, and probably will
not till the end of the calendar. A
minor case between Mrs. Vinney Akey
and Peter Akey for money for car
ing for the latter's mother by the
former, occupied the attention of the
court for little time, and as result,
the money was refused. This morn
ing, Tuesday, The Schiller-Liepka
case was on. This is the case where a
man was building line fence and
meanwhile his cattle got into his
neighbours enclosure and injured the
neighbours cattle. The iury's verdict
was not received in time to include it
in this item. The case before the
court this afternoon is from NekOoSa,
and is one in which a woman charges
a man with assault. 1t is expected to
be finished by tomorrow.

A Sermon for Capital and Labor.
Montpelier Journal

1t is the old fashioned golden rule'Do
unto others as you would be done by
which will end the differences between
capital and labor successfully.
When a laboring man sees that the
employer Is willing to talk over his
interests as he would look at them If
they We're his own he at once becomes
interested to see that a square deal is
Forthcoming and when an employer
sees that his laborer is keeping his re-
quests within reason and taking an
interest in the affairs of the concern
for which he works he too begins to
want to do the right thing and they
reach a peaceful settlement. The same
compromise spirit which makes hap
by home works equally well in the
dealings between capital and labor.
When a man is reasonable in dealing
with a wife and she meets him half
way there will be no case for the d.
vorce courts from that family. one
must be unwilling to live up to the
compromise spirit in order to make
a row. Lockouts and strikes. the re-
suits of a balk by one side or the other
in the attempts at compromise or the
failure to meet half way. are good
deal like law suits costing more for the
satisfaction of a fight than it would
be possible for either side to make by
winning out. Compromise and busi-
ness methods are the surest weapons
to use for both sides and they are not
weapons
