Newcotnb for th defendant.
TOltE DOWN A KEN'tlE.
It is alleged that Mr. Devanney tore

Elmhurst school district. Tho defendant
admits having torn down the fence, but
aid that it was erected by the district
on land owned by his wile. It had uo
business there and he removed it. The

a email strip ut laud close to the Llm-
hurst school liouso. Mrs. 1 vanney anys

On Sept 15, 1890, Robbing went to

wanna Iron nnd Steel company where
he had been employed up to a few days
prior to that date. By pretending that

mine he succeeded in getting supplies
and mine tools valued at ijto 15. The

tion to dofraud, that Robbing was an
employe of the company when he ob
tained the goods and thought he had
sufficient money due him to pay for
Mfiam.
Attorney James Mahon made a nlea
for his client In which he described the
la with regard to false pretense and
incidentally the kind of caps worn by

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
There is no aotor more popular with
our theater goers than diaries T El
lis, the sweet singing German come
dian, who will be the attraction at the
Ac idemy of Music tomorrow evening.
He grows mtore popular year by year
nnd can count on being a greater fa

than nuy uf the singing eotuedians.
His pretty comedy drams, "Count Cas
p'T," iu which ho will he seen, has
been entirely re-wtitteu since be was
last seen here.
HOYT'S TEMPEIIANCE TOWN.
"A Temperance Town" aotually has
a plot, and a very good one. It attacks
hypocrites who make use uf a queer
Vermont prohibition law, under whioh
one can suffer cumulative sentence for
aelliog liquor, which may amount to a
life time, and indeed has done so. The
play is based on an actual circumstance,
and the particular case Mr Hoyt had
in mind when he wrote "A Tomperance
Town" was that of a man who was
convicted of letting 7uQ glassos of
liqnor,and was sentenced tooyer 21,000
daya or about sixty years in j til, The
Academy on Friday evening.

Academy of Music by Charles A, Gard
ner, tho famous 'comedian and sweet
singer, and a company of first class
actors. New scenery and etage effect
and now coatnmes have been providol,
including a startly realistic avalanche
that presumably buries all the princi
pals out of sight.

How many have taken vow of absti
nence with tlie birth of the uew year is
perhaps hard to estimate, but we uow
know that such etforts are futile against
inveterate habit, a habit which has become J
a disease. There was a time when it j
wtuld have benn easy to quit, but having
neglected to do so the liebit continued un- I
til by the constant or friquent use of the '
poison there was forced a chauge in the
nervous system which made it not lily
possible to drink, but necessary. Then
you could drink a good deal and uot eeein
to get drunk, b-jt you also fouud it neces
sary, to keep yon feeling good and you
"craved liquor" because you had become
diseased, Now that swearing off does no
