IN THE DISTRICT COURT.

The Jury in the case Of A. G. Rum
nell VS.. r. l. Hughes and B. F.
Threewit, tried in the district court
last week, was out from 2:30 Satur-
day afternoon until Sunday evening
at nine o'clock before verdict was
finally agreed upon. This was a COM
promise verdict as the jurors could
not agree until short time before
the arrival OF Judge Mccall Sunday
evening from Golden, who had been
notified that an agreement could not
be reached. The jury allowed Rum
nell $4,000 damages. the amount
sued for being s7.7OO. H. A. Hicks
represented the plaintiff and the won
der is that he got that much. The
suit will likely be tried again as
the verdict does not appear to be a
satisfactory one. Compromise verdicts
seldom are. The plaintiff alleged that
Hughes and Threewit misrepresented
the Hall mine in the sale Of the
property to his company. The defend
ants deny any Misrepresentation and
take the position that the only issue
in the suit was to pay $7.700 or to
not pay $7,7O0. 1t would seem that
the jury after being out SO long a
time thought they ought to arrive
at something and took chance at
the decision OF $4,000.
Judge Mccall left Monday morning
for Georgetown but will return to-
morrow to try the case Of the Peo-
pie vs.. Henry Moser.

The Interstate Fair and Exposition
at Overland park this year will run
for two weeks instead OF one as here
tofore. and the nature of the display
will be broader in every respect. Be-
fore Thomas F. Walsh died he call
ed up a group of influential men from
the west and outlined the plan for a
National Exposition at Denver. The
result is the enlarged scope Of the
Interstate Fair and redoubled energy
and financial support which the well
known men at its head have given.
The dates, September 3 to II. afford
every farmer, stock grower and hor'
ticulturist an opportunity to be on

The exposition at Lakeside will be.
gin at nine o'clock on the night OF
the Fourth, and will last until eleven
O'Clock. The pyrotechnics will be ex.
ploded from q raft In the center OF
the lake, thus assuring the safety Of
the great crowds expected to visit
the park that evening. It is said that
the display as planned by the Lake

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

On July 4th, one hundred and
thirty-four years ago, a few Jealous
patriots, with the fear of God and
love of liberty in their hearts, de-
clared their independence of the
mother country and risked their lives
that the new nation might live.
And on every anniversary of that
eventful day the small boy-and some
not SO small-with the fear of moth
ing in their hearts, in emulation of
the example set by the worthy fore
fathers Of the nation, and with like
patriotism, break loose from parental
rule and go forth to commemorate
the day in manner no less fraught
with danger than the perils to which
the victors in the Revolutionary war
were exposed. Thirteen hundred kill
ed and $4,000 wounded is the list of
fatalities and casualties for the past
six years.
Which reminds US that in times Of
peace it is well to prepare for the
Fourth Of July.
The Fourth is the uniquest holiday
in our national calendar.
1t is the birthday anniversary of
the Goddess of Liberty, and she is
the only member of the feminine sex
who is proud Of her venerable age,
and the only American girl Of whom
we wot who has not changed the
style of her clothing or the shape Of
her hat in 1874 years.
The Fourth of July is the longest
day in the year, beginning at the
dawn of the week before and ending
when the small boy has exhausted
the supply Of fireworks.
that sometimes come on the the 3rd
or 5th.
1t is the day when the spread eagle
orator shoots off his bazoo and the
small boy his fingers and toes with
equal equanimity-and the antidote
is about the same for both.
Now, after all these years of cele-
brating the great national holiday
with the booming of exploding fire
works, burning of powder and sacri-
flee of human life, along comes a
movement for the abolishment of
these nerve-racking implements and
we are told that our patriotic zeal
has been grossly misdirected and that
the Significance of the day has been
entirely lost sight Of in the endeavor
to make 1t one continual scream.
Multitudes of figures have been as
sembled to prove these assertions.
1t really does seem that the shoot
ing of Chinese firecrackers, Roman
candles and niger chasers, the
scattering of Italian confetti and the
like are not the most appropriate
ways of celebrating the birth of the
great American nation. A desire to
commemorate the memory and signi-
ficance Of the day is certainly not
the ruling passion that induces the
American youth to hoard his nickles
and dimes for the purchase of noise
making contraptions.
