County Judge Thorne and jury OF
six men were kept busy all last week
hearing one Of the longest and hardest
fought cases in the history of Prowers
county. Tho case was one for divorce,
Mrs. E. X. Brown being plaintiff and
E. X. Brown the defendant. In all
about thirty witnesses were used and
more were subpoenaed, good portion
Of the residents Of Holly, where the case
originated, being in town during the
week. The court excluded the public
during the entire hearing OF the case.
One witness was taken into custody dur
ing the course Of trial on charge OF
perjury, and it altogether made one of
the most sensational trials the county
has known. EI-Attorney General
Campbell represented the defendant,
and Attorneys Hillyer and Merrill the
plaintiff. The arguments were clos
ed late Saturday evening and the jury
after being out q very short time re-
turned verdict finding tho issues for
the plaintiff.
The special meetings at the Baptist
church In progress for the past two
weeks, closed on Sunday night. Nearly
100 persons professed saving faith in
Christ The seating capacity OF the
church was doubled, yet did not accom-
modate all present on the last night.
Even the cold nights of last week did
not keep the people away. Persons from
ten miles in the country attended the
services. Christians from the other
churches worked faithfully with the
Baptists; and denominational differ
ences were forgotten, The Bingham
Brothers won the hearts of the people
by their singing and practical preach
ing. free will offering of $3.50 was
presented them, and an invitation to re-
turn when possible. In addition to the
conversions reported above, the spirit of
christian unity was intensified and
christians were strengthened for service.
The pastor and church hereby express
their appreciation of the cooperation Of
other christians.

KNEW NOTHING ABOUT COFFEE.

Hotel Keepers shrewd Evasion Of His
Complaining Guests.
George o. Stacy, proprietor Of .
well known hotel at East Gloucester.
Mass. possesses a ready wit which
has often enabled him to easily cast
aside worries frequently arising In
connection with the managemet Of a
large summer hotel.
On one occasion during a change
in the regime in the kitchen. although
everything else went along satisfact-
orily, 1t seemed almost impossible for
the new cooks to make good coffee.
While an endeavor was being made
by the chef to have this defect reme-
died several old maids. who were
guests, took It upon themselves to
have the matter corrected by COM
planning to Mr.. Stacy personally about
IT.
Getting together In body, and en-
tering the proprietor's private office,
one of them opened up the subject by
saying:
"Mr. Stacy, the coffee at breakfast
this morning was so bad that we
couldn't drink It."
Without giving the others time to
say anything, Mr.. Stacy quickly re-
Piled, We'll, is that SO? I'm glad
took tea this morning instead"
which ended the interview, as the old
ladies had nothing further to say and
made hasty exit, to the great amuse-
ment of the other guests. The coffee.
however. Immediately improved.

No Smoke for Him.

There is a clever young physician
in Philadelphia who has never been
able to smoke a cigar. Just one

Recently the doctor was invited to
a large dinner party given by New
York friend. At the conclusion of the
repast. when the women had left the
table, cigars were accepted by all the
men except the physician from Phil
adelphia. Seeing his friend refuse the
cigar the host in astonishment ex-
claimed:
What, not smoking? Why, my dear
fellow, you lose half your dinner!"
"Yes, l know I do" meekly replied
the doctor. but If I smoked, l would
lose the whole of it!"-The Sunday

In order that the medical inspec-

that although it is not certain, he
may call a meeting for Tuesday

appointing an inspector to take
charge of the work, would probably
be carried out
Inspector G. w. Fithian is much
pleased over the success of the rec
ommendation and said today that he
was anxious to have the system in
stalled at once, also that an inspector
be appointed.
The duties of the new inspector
would be to make a regular inspec-
tion of all the school once month,
in a room set aside in each building
for that purpose. At times when a
child was noticed to be not feeling
well, he or she could be sent to this
room, and the Inspector sent for al
once. DR.. Fithian, when asked il he
would accept the commission of
school inspector said he would not
as tle work required much time, and
he did not have it to give. 81 did

two or three inspectors" he added,
"but we will take the $3.50 given us
by the school board and use it as jul
diciously as possible"
DR.. M. S. Meinzer's name has been
mentioned in connection with the of
flee, and it is possible that he will re-
ceive the appointment.
