Obituary.

Donald Artt died at his late home in
this city Friday evening January, 20,
of cerebral tumor after an illness OF
several months.
Donald Art was born in Mt. Carroll,
Illinois, in 1870 and spent his childhood
days there. He was married at his
home and removed to this city In 1901
and purchased a fine house in the east
part of this city. He was always very
industrious, having until a few months
ago worked for the Hall Wellman Lum-
Der Company which he had to give mp
on account of his eyes. His eyesight
gradually grew worse and the first OF
last week he went to Minneapolis to
consult a specialist DR.. Spratt, but there
seems hat nothing could be done, he
returned Friday morning feeling as
well as usual, but in the afternoon
severe pains attacked his head and they
gradually grew worse until evening
when death came and took from our
midst the life of the kind husband, low
ing father and highly esteemed citizen.
He leaves a wife and one daughter who
have the sympathy of the community.
The remains were taken to his old nome
in Illinois for burial. His wife and
daughter and Mrs. Arts brother, Kyle
Balcom, accompanied them to that
place. As Mrs. Art was in poor health
il was deemed advisable that Miss
Peterson of the Advent hospital accom-
pany her. A letter received this morn
ing says she stood the trip better thar
could have been expected.

have been in the habit of sending their
fine raiment to New York, Baltimore,
and even to Paris to be laundered, and
it is the expectation Of the Mullens TO
get this trade, and more. Already they
are said to have some very good custom
and the venture promises success. But

The Circuit Court.

The January term of the fifth judicial
curcuit convened at the court house in
this city Tuesday, His Hon. j. HI.
Mccoy presiding. The morning session
was taken up with a call of the calen-
dar. The index and notations as made
appear in another page of this issue.
In the afternoon the court heard argu-
ments of motions and demurrers. A
few cases were stricken from the calen-
dar, some continued over the term and
others dismissed. However, il appears
at this writing that there are about
sixty cases for trial.
OF the criminal cases but three are
for trial. The defendants were
a~rraigned Wednesday morning. James
Jordon entered a plea of guilty Of
assault with a dangerous weapon, by
advice of his counsel, CO. Bush, which
was accepted by the court.
Harry Dixon plead not guilty to the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon with intent to do bodily harm.
VIM. Fitzgerald entered a plea of not
guilty to the charge of rape.
The case of the state VS. Harry Dixson
was called with States Attorney Sears
prosecuting and w. j. Elwood defend
ing. The case proved to be a simple
row among neighbors over the detention
of some cattle and a claim for damages
resulting in a fist fight. The case was
given to the jury, who, after a short
deliberation returned q verdict of not
guilty and Mr.. Dixon was discharged.
The case of the state VS. Vim. Fitz-
gerald was next called. This is the
sensational case of the term and the
court room is crowded. Owing the fact
that States Attorney Sears was the
defendants attorney at the preliminary
hearing he could not act at counsel In
the case 50 the court appointed L. H.
Woodwork to conduct the prosecution
and waddle q Sheldon to defend. The
work Of selecting a jury was completed
Wednesday afternoon and several wit
nesses examined. The case was resum-
ed this morning and the case is getting
along rapidly. 1t is limited that the
defendant will spring some surprises
this afternoon.

"The Man From sweden.o.

Hans Anderson will present his new
play, 1.-The Man From Sweden" at the
opera house Friday, February Sd. MI.
Anderson's last appearance was two
seasons ago in the well known comedy
drama, "Yon Yonson." It was while
playing in this piece that Messrs Broad
hurst and Ourrie, the New York man.
ayers saw the qualities of Anderson
who is without doubt the cleverest
Swedish dialect comedian on the Amer
lean stage today. So different from all
the rest. every word he utters is per-
fectly understood by the audience.
This is the kind of drama that shows
the honest, noble hearted people of the
Swedish race. The play itself is purely
American and from the pen of Charles
Newman. Many excellent specialties
are introduced during the action of the
play by Mr.. Anderson.

ing was convicted occurred last fall
at the shack, or Illicit saloon of Pat
sy Lewis, near a similar joint run
by Fielding at Buxton. Fielding ana
his wife had quarrelled previously but
seemed to have patched up their diff
ficulties. Mrs. Fielding was jealous
of her husband, and quarrelled at the
Lewis place with a Clarke girl about
him. All were intoxicated and IL
was about three o'clock in the morn
ing. Mrs. Fielding and Marshall
started away, the man borrowing a
big revolver of the bartender as he
left the shack. No one knows what
happened, for there were no witness
es, but a moment after going out
the woman fell, shot by bullet. In
a dying statement alleged to have
been made she said that ldarshall
shot her.
The defense argued that the weap
on was discharged while Fielding was
struggling with his wife for possession
of the gun, which she had taken tokill
the Clarke girl with. The conviction
for manslaughtar was based upon an
instruction declaring that such yer
dict could be returned il defendant
was found guilty of gross negligence
in handling the weapon.

NapoTeon,s War Horses.

Napoleon used many horses in his
various campaigns, and if We are to
believe in the accuracy Of MeissOnier
and other painters who have depicted
stirring incidents in the life Of the
Emperor the steeds were always
white.
When in the field Napoleon spent
most Of his time in the saddle. He
was a more impressive figure there
than on foot.
History does not record that he had
any favOrite war charger, and fails
even to tell US anything about the
horse that bore him on the fateful
field Of Waterloo. SlOane's history of
the emperor says Of the closing in
cidents Of that day:
Throughout the famous charge of
his devoted men Napoleon rode hither
and thither, from ROssOmme to Belle
Alliance" And then, at the very last:
Napoleon had become an object of
pity-his eyes set, his frame col
lapsed, his great head rolling in a
drowsy stupOr, MOnthyon and Bertrand
set him as best they could upon a
horse and, one on each side, supported
him as they rode
But the horse that played this big
part in history goes nameless-
