GRAND JURY CHARGES FAIL;
LOONEY FLATTENED OUT AGAIN

Looney Fails Again.
This is the second time that Looney
has failed to make good in his effort
to vent his spleen against States At
tOrney Scott, the September grand
jury, after spending a week or more
investigating his representations. as
sisted by c. B. Marshal. as special
states attorney appointed by the court
at the request of the foreman of the
jury, Cyrus Miller. finding no bills. At
the present term Looney renewed his
persecution and at his request Fore
man Ffebig asked the court for a spe
cial states attorney. Judge Gest there
upon appointed James F. Witter. Al
ter working a day on the case and dis
charging the special states attorney.
Looney protested, and asked permission
to confer with Mr.. Witter. This was
granted and the investigation was re
newed. LoOney had a chance to pre-.
sent every iOta OF evidence he alleged
TO possess against Scott. but it again
flattened out
The cost of the grand jury's investi-
cations to the county ranged from $40
TO $75 day. the expense for the jur-
or's fees alone amounting To $42 a day.
and the fees of witnesses bringing the
expense to a much higher figure daily.
and all to accommodate the character
istic Looney vengeance toward anyone
who displeases him. AS a matter of
fact there has scarcely been a session
of the grand jury for two years that
Looney has not been at work trying
Ito get someone. Once it was the
Rock Island Club. which embraces in
its membership nearly every business
man in the city. At different times it
was other reputable citizens. whose
good names would have been smirched
had Looney succeeded.

Heaven OF LIFE
Subject of Lecture-Recita by
Prof. Paul M. Pearson
at AuguStana.
THIRD IN LYCEUM COURSE
Points Difference Between Wit and HUI.
NOR, and illustrates Latter with
Apt Quotations.

The third entertainment in the Au-
gustana Lyceum course was given at
the auditorium of the college last eve
ming when Professor Paul NJ. Pearson,
teacher of rhetoric and public speaking
at Swarthmore college, and editor and
owner of Talent" gave a lecture-re-
cital on the subject, THE Leaven of
Life" Mr.. Pearson pointed out. the
difference between wit and humor
speaking of wit as that which bites,
stings, and hurts, and of humor as
that which puts one on good terms
with the whole world; wit laughs at
people and humor laughs with people
Humor is seeing the other side of
things and that is the essential ele-
ment in humor. there must be some
thing left over to laugh about after the
telling of a story, it is that element
that is helpful to burdened soul and
which thrives on things beautiful. Mr..
Pearson is very interesting speaker
and at every point illustrates his lee
ture with bits of poetry and prose
from the leading American writer's.
Riley as an Optimist.
Most of his illustrations were taken
from James Whitcomb Riley whom he
spoke of as the real optimist, man
with new conception of nature and
with a living faith in the common peo-
pie. He pointed out his many beauti-
full SMILES, his apt words and the sin
cerity and earnestness of his writings.
Selections were also taken from Eu-
gene Field, Edmund Vance Cook and
son is pleasing reader with a voice
we'll adapted to that line of work.

CHANCEOFA LIFETIME.

No county in the west offers better in.
ducements to-day to the farmer desiring
to build home or to the capitalist look
ing for a profitable investment for his
money than is offered in the fertile lands
OF Potter county, South Dakota, which
can b. purchased at prices which are
merely nominal when compared with less
productive lands but a short distance
east. Here can befound railroads, school
houses, towns and villages ready built,
society organized and equal to that OF
the east on the one haad. and cheap fer
tile lands on the other-a combination
impossible to find in country either
older or newer than this. That this con.
dition cannot long remain is attested BY
the fact that some OF the shrewdest inves.
tors oi the west. conversant with the
value OF such lands. are rapidly buying
