LINK M'CANDLESS
APPOINTED FOREMAN

Today is the beginning of the new
term of the Circuit Court. The trial
jurors do not report until tomorrow
morning. but the Grand Jury assem-
bled in Judge Robinson's court and
received the charge of the Judge.
Link McCandless Is the man who
will guide the work of the inquisi-
torial body, and interesting develop
ments are expected. Link was APP
pointed by the Judge foreman of the
Grand Jury. He is getting his share
of work and honors, as he was a mem
Der of the last Grand Jury. How
ever, he entered no objection to serv-
ing during this term of court.
a. d. Bolster was appointed by
Judge Robinson to serve as bailin.
After receiving the charge of the
Judge, the Grand Jurors retired to
the throne-room of the Capitol to
organize and begin their delibera-
tions. The first matter to engage
their attention is that of Chief of
Detectives Taylor, who is charged
with assault on Hawaiian named
Paikuli. and who waived examination
in the District Court ana was COM
mitted to the Grand Jury.
In his charge to the Grand Jury
Judge Robinson recommended that,
wherever possible. persons accused
be first examined before the District
Magistrate before their cases are ia
ken up by the Grand Jury. This Is
in line with the recommendations of
Deputy Attorney Genera! Whitney,
as told in the Bul letin recently.
The Judge did not direct the at
tention of the Grand Jury to any par
ticular phase of wrongdoing, his
charge being general in character.

Dear Courier have been reading
the letters of the Courier Junior and
would like 10 write one.
I used to live at Agency, Iowa, but
in January we moved near Herndon,
Virginia. Herndon is a nice town
twenty-six miles from Washington, D.
c. In coming to our new home we
came from Chicago to Washington
over the Pennsylvania railroad We
crossed many beautiful and large
rivers. among them the Mississippi at
Clinton, Iowa. the Susuuehanna at
Harrisburg, Pa, and the Potomac at
Washington D, c.
We reached Washington at ten
forty-fve in the morning and while
waiting for the four forty-five train
over the Southern. out to Herndon we
visited the Capitol the White House
and the State. War and Navy build
ings. These buildings and the grounds
around them are very beautiful 1t
would take a long time to tell all
about them On the Capitol ground
are many tame squirrels.
In the War and Navy buildings were
models of some of the great war YES

ROSSINl.

Gioachino Antonio Rossini was born
Feb. 29, 1892 He was a celebrated
Italian musical composer. He was
born in Pesaro Italy, and was called
the "Swan Of the Pesaro.'
His father was horn-blower and
the town trumpeter. When his father
was sick or unable to do his work
his mother would sing in operas on
the stage. So he grew up in musical
surroundings
He first made his appearance in
public when he was seven years old,
not as a composer, but as a singer.
The people were so delighted with his
singing that they said that he some
time would be one Of the greatest
musicians known.
When he was thirteen years old he
was taken to Bologna and presented
to Professor Tesci, who heard him
play and sing. He was so pleased
that he procured him situation as a
chorister in one of the churches
there. At the same time his voice
was being trained.
When he was fifteen he could play
the most difficult music at sight. He
accepted a position as the director of
travelling company that went to diff
ferent towns
/ He soon resigned his position and
was entered as a student at the
Lyceum at Bologna He wrote his
first work when he was sixteen. He

Dear Editor:
The subject of my sketch is Doctor
Charlie Shelton of Bloomfield Iowa.
He was born on the 29th of Feb,
1876.
When he was little boy seven
years old, my mamma stayed at his
fathers and was doctored for a can
Ger on her face.
Mamma said Charlie was as cute as
he could be if his birthday didn't come
only once every four years.
1t was in February when mamma
stayed there and there was a big
sleet on the ground and mamma and
Charlie had such good time skating.
The cook that was at Shelton's in
frmary wouldn't let the children
piece.
So one day mamma and Charlie
went to steal some cake and she
caught them.
Then she made them keep away but
thew kept the cake.
Mamma was just fifteen years old
then.
She hasn't seen him for a long time
but | guess he is a great doctor now.

At the treasures that bed did hold
