Big DAMAGE Suit.

The case OF Hendrickson VS.. Smart
and Hansen in which the former sues
for practically $50, 900 and the return
Of certain First National Bank stock
transferred by him to the latter, came
up before the court Tuesday morning.
The defendants had filed a demurrer
putting forth counter claim Of $500
which they claim they lost through
the Misrepresentation Of the plain
tiff when the stock was transferred.
All told there is a difference be-
tween the plaintiff and defendants Of
about s25, 900 The question can not
be settled without a thorough
examination Of the First National
books, of course, and If the matter is
not compromised in all probability
this will be a long drawn out and eX-
peDsive suit for all parties concerned.
The loser must necessarily suffer
and The winner is necessarily at a loss
OF time and attorneys fees, and all
must suffer with the First National
Bank, as all are stockholders in the
bank. II would seem the part OF

Miss Elite Petersen were made man

quite popular and highly respected
members OF our ward, the brides be-
ing beautiful and accomplished young
women. Mr.. BALKAN is musician Of
no mean ability and being still quite \
young man, we bespeak great future
for him. Mr.. Balls is good intelli-
gent young farmer, with bright pros
poets before him. A free dance was
given Thursday night and an enjoy

HIS IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN
Cardinal Newman's Estimate Is Well
Worthy the Attention Of Az.

Cardinal Newman's definition Of a
gentleman has probably never been
surpassed. Here it is:
1T is almost the definition Of gen.
tleman TO say he is one who never in
tiicts pain. He has his eyes on all
his company; he is tender toward the
bashful, gentle toward the distant and
merciful toward the absurd; he can
recollect to whom he is speaking; he
guards against unreasonable illusions
or topics which may irritate; he is
seldom prominent in conversation and
never wearisome.
He makes light OF favors while he
does them and seems to be receiving
when he is comforting. He never
speaks of himself except when com
PEELED, never defends himself by a
mere retort; he has no care for SIAN
der or gossip, is scrupulous in imput-
ing motives TO those who interfere
with him and interprets everything
for the best. He is never mean or lit.
tie in his disputes, never takes unfair
advantage. never mistakes PERSONAL
ties or sharp sayings for arguments
or insinuates evil which he dare not
say out"
