A Curiosity.

Mr., J. c. Rorer, of the Fredouia
section, was in the city yesterday and
brought to this Office quite a curiosi-
ty in the form of cluster of corn.
there being nine ears that has grown
together and under one shuck.
There was one large ear, the others
being of smaller size. but all had
good sound grains. We were told
by..Mr. Rorer that he pulled the
cluster of corn from the stalk of a
twenty five acre corn field. We have
often seen corn in clusters, but this
one contains more ears than we ever
saw before. Princeton Leader.

Failed To Reach 4
Decision.

The jury in the Hawley-Meadows
800, 900 damage suit, tried in the
y. S. court here Tuesday and We'd
nesday failed to agree. The bedy
stood ten for Hawley and two for
Meadows. Those favoring Hawley
were for giving him verdict for
sums running from $1,000 to $50,
900. Those for Meadows contended
his act was justidable from the
evidence. The body was discharged
when it was announced a verdict was
impossible.
The case was given to the jury
Wednesday afternoon before D o clock
and it was out until $50 o'clock.
Judge Evans dismissed the Jurors
until $50 when the case was again
given to them for verdict. They re-
manned out until 1890 and reported
that they were still. as they were be-
fore, ten for aud two against the Rev
Hawley. Judge Evans DISMISSED them
until this morning at $50 when they
went into their room to try to reach
the same conclusion.
Judge Evans told them this moru-
rug that the evidence in the case
was strongly in favor of the minister
and that they should agree upon
some judgment or not at all. He
allowed them until 10 o'clock when
they reported for the last time the
same as before.
This is indeed very remarkable,
very remarkable that you cannot a
gree, stated Judge Evans to them,
as they we're seated before him. "If
] had the time | would stay here un-
Ill you did reach a verdict"
The two jurors who were opposed
to giving the Rev. Hawley any judg
ment whatever against Meadows were
A. A. Sexton, of Azalea, Lyon coun-
ty, and J. Il. Swami, of hurry, Gallo
way county. Their reasons given by
them a. stated above.
Those in favor of giving the Rev.
Hawley judgment against Meadows

Judge Evans finally discharged the
jurors at seven minutes past 10 o
clock this morning. The counsel for
the defense and for the prosecution
went into consultation for a few min
utes, returning and agreeing to con-
tinue the case over to tina next term
of L. :. court, which will be in

Emmons County Record: While
Governor John Burke was out cam
paigning last fall the people We're led
from the tenor Of his speeches TO In
fer that he would initiktes a. new plan
in the government of hespubEic insti-
tutions OF the state. He criticised
Governor Sarles for pretty nearly
every sin Of omission and commission
and 1t was supposed that If ne should
be elected he would not let politics
enter into the running of the institu-
tfons that were being we'll conducted.
But he looks at the matter differently
now He has removed Warden
Boucher TO make way for a personal
supporter and yet Boucher had the
reputation Of being one of the best
wardens in the United States. AM
other removal was that of DR.. Moore,
who was the thoroughly painstaking
and competent superintendent of the
state insane asylum at jamestown.
Another first-class man who was made
to walk the plank was President Car
hart, of the Mayville normal school.
In a majority of the instances old-line
democrats have been given the cold
shoulder and republican knivers of
their party given preference. This is
illustrated in the case of Dugald
Campbell and Alexander Macdonald in
this county The probable theory of
the governor is that the true blue
democrats will assist him any way in
his efforts for reelection, while the
renegade republicans must he bought
by official position. But when
Messrs. Campbell and Macdonald at
tempt to deliver the goods to Governor
Burke, in this county, next year, we
believe the result will show that du-
plIcity and double dealing for the sake
of Office have not been rewarded.
