Special to Times Republican.

of the jurors was intoxicated while in
the jury room, Judge oliver was forced
to grant a new trial to Martin Hasse-
boerk, who was convicted at the Sep
TENDER term of court for seduction, the
complainant being a young woman
domestic in his house.

the man new trial, as he believed the
verdict to be a just one, but realized
that should the matter come before an
appeal court the verdict would not
stand. Several Of the Jurors had made
affidavits that one of their number,
Charles Kelley, was at the time they
were celebrating on the verdict, intox-
icated to such an extent that he could
take no part in the proceedings, and
these were presented by the defense.

Church Advertising

The First Methodist church OF

Using. In the issue of the Calves
ton Tribune OF February 22d, the
church authorities published a half
page religious advertisement con-
tanning the announcement of a re-
vival and displaying half tone por-
traits of the officiating evangelists
The church folks didn't stop at
black ink either, but threw in gen
erous supply of color.
Church adv ertising is not alto
gether a novelty. but the insertion
of the ad. 10 the Tribune was suffl-
cient to call forth this editorial
comment. which also helped:
"While the use of display adver-
Using in this connection may be
considered by many as an innova-
ton, it is not altogether a novelty
in other sections of the country,
and leading church workers, who

vocated the liberal use of newsp

public to the fact that the church
had something to offer which it be-
lieved the people needed.
''In Atlanta this method Of pub
licity was tried. and the verdict was
emphatically in favor of it's extern

no other-that it induced the at

THE COMMUNICATION on anoth-
er page of this paper while it
appeals to the humorous side of
the question of a new Northern
Pacific depot, nevertheless
should interest all who are inter-
ested in the city. The box like
structure which has been used
as depot ever since this road
was built, should certainly be
replaced by one that will at least
present a decent appearance
and one that will accommodate the
travelling public.
