Tbe time-honortd cus-tora of rirgirg
the court house l-ll for the purpose ol
announcing the cou veiling of the court
seems to Lave lallen into disuse since the
Associate Judges have taken to holding
court in tbea'senceof a President Judge.
It is perhaps just as well that the Asso
ciate Judges have adopted tLis means of
requiring tbt-ir constituents to examine
t'uo Auditor General's reports in order to
asce -tain tbe ii a in ber of day s for which
they draw a per diem ; whileon the other
hand it may be that they have some n

hearing distance of the bell's iron tongue.
A short ses-'ion of criminal Court is
always a g sd sign ar.d shows a healtby
condition of the morals of the communi
ty. T ere are still, however, many cases
brought iuto our court w hi h should
never come in. They should be adjusted
before the magistrates. The court has no
time vo spend in listening to petty cases
which should never le sent up for trial.
They are an unnecessary expense U the
county and should be settled at home.
The court has frequently remarked upon
this sut ject. That his words have done
good in some instances no one will doubt.
That they may be heeded in all every Is dy
will hope.

Peter Meyers, who was broiipht into

two charges of murder in the Srst d.gree, I
for the uillrul and felonious killing of'
Michael Ca.-uey and John Lerihsrt, at '
Garret, ns granted a continuance

Sber ifl's t flice reported at the evening
session that Mrs. Keller, a sister of the
defendant, whim he bad visited at her
home Dear Buckstown, for the purpose ;f
serving an attachment, vas too sick to be
iu attendance upon tli9 ourt. The jury,
which had been selecle . at the morning
aud afernoon session, aod was waiting
to be sworn, was discharged.
Meyers was brought into court Wednes
day morning and all- r being arraigue.1
for murder iu the first degree for tbe
killing of Michael Carney entered a plea
of "not guilty." The prisoner was seated j During the three days' aud eveningses
alur.e at his counsel's table when be was sions the exer.-ises consisted of talks and
ordered to stand cp. A moment before lectures by Hon. N. B. Critchlield, tbe
Att.ruy IlolLert bad whii-perd a few
words iu bis tar, but they were evideutly
not words of eucoursgeu.ent, since the
defendant was setmiLgly ludifTertut to
lhe s.-ent s about him and to the crowd
that occupied every seat ia the court
room. He wore a red and blue speckled
shirt and collar Hud a glaring red and
blue ne. L tie, under a black cutaway coat.
Meyers has lit appreciably in weight
siuce bis isir.liueroeut in Jail, but outside
of a skin eruption ou bis face he appears
to I erji.-yiug good hialtb. He did not
move a aiuscie or change expression
while the clerk was reading the indict-
met t against him, and when the time
ea.ne for biin to pltad he said "not guil
ty,'' in a firm low tone. Later in the day
his brother took a seat at the counsel ta
ble hen he and Peter entered into an
animated conversation.
The work of selecting a jury was an
eay matter; ouly thirty-two jurors were
called, from whom the twelve men to pas
upon tae guilt or innocence of the de
fendant were selected. Meyers looked
intently into tbe iace of every juror ex
amined, but rua lo no comment to his at
torneys. There was a suspicion of m oist
ure about his eyes during the . lamina
tion of tha jurors but he cotitrollod his
feelings with i i.irable tact.
Counsel for the defendant moved for a
continuance as soon ss the case wasc&lled
bat their motion was overruled by Judge
Doty. They renewed their motion afier
the jury h i 1 been selected snd it was not
until afier the officer rrported that Mrs.

When President McKinley visited the
Tuskegee colored institute in Alabama
last week be saw w hat tbe colored man
can do for himself if he is given half a
chance. Booker T. Washington, tte tal
ented colored man, believes in educating
the bead and tbe baud at the same time,
and that is the principle that baa been
followed at Tuskrgee, where good schol
ars and go si tnex-habUware turned out s
the same time. It must have all been
very interesting to the President, espe
cially tbe display of articles made by tbe
student. (I bas not been so many years
ago that a colored man who tried U- gn
an education was looked upon as a mis
chievous individual and was lia'ile to get
whipped, while if be dislayed any apti
tude with tools be was gotten rid of as
aoon as possible. Times bave changed
since tbe negro got half a chance in tbe
8 utb, and be is uiakiug a uiao of bimr
self. The President will do doubt note
all this, and be will be influenced by it
in the future.

State Chemist, devotional exercises, sand

etc., by the young people of L'rsioa.
The "Farmers' Experience Meeting''
was an interesting future, e.nnposed of
representative farmers from eight or nine
distant townships, conspicuous among
whom was a large delegation from Elk
Lick.
Senator Critchfield, who has charge of
tbe institute work in a territory consist
ing of one fourth of the State, is specially
qualified for the position of organizer.
His ability to supply bright and hsppy
pleasantries and repartee at the proper
time, reinforced by his varied experience,
first as a teacher iu his early days, then
as a miuihter, a chaplaiu in the Union ar
luy, as a busiuess man at Ml Pleasant,
and later connected with the Ml Pleasant
Institute, two term as County Superiu
teudeul of Public Instruction, Prolhono
tary of the county, and a member of the
Slate Seuate during two terms, discharg
ing all of his duties with credit to the
people he was chosen to represent and to
himself.
Prof. Heiges has also had extensive ex
perience in educational work of a high
order, ami later bas been identified with
the Stale College,' and with the National
Bureau of Agriculture at W asbi ngtnn.
He is coiirtiJered a high authority on fruit
culture, treatment of uon productive or
chards, etc. His several talks were very
instructive and entertaining.
Dr. Frcar spoke on the "Waste From
the Stable and Barnyard," in which he
referred U the chemical action of various
substances and fertilizers wilh their rela
tive value in connection with Ibe produc
tion of cereals, grass its, etc., aud in turn
of the'r relative value in tho production
of (losti, milk, butter, etc
The query box called forth a number of
interesting discussions aud addresses,
including a talk on "Hygiene," by Dr.
W. S. Mountain, of Confluence, and one
by Dr. Heiges, who made some interest
ing remarks in reeard U the proper ven
tilation of schiMiIrooms. The courtship
and marriage of farmers was, we believe,
Uot mentioned, nor was "Phrcunlogy" a
subject for discussion at the experience
meeting, although the "sleek - talking
agent," who bore the farmers so fre
quently, received a left-hauder from an
Addison agriculturist, but the speaker
failed to instruct his bearers how. to dis
tinguish between an honest and dis! ou
est agent.
The Farmers' Institute held last week
at Hooversville, proved to ba-one of tbe
most interesting meetings ver held in
this section of the county. Prom the first
session to the close of the meeting the

O Yours Respectfully, Q

Aa Old Cnetom Revived.
In former years the custom of making
holiday calls, especially on New Year's
Day, was, in this country practically
universal. This custom, because of the
strain involved in lhe attempt to dis
cbarge a yeai's social duties in the space
of a few hours, has fallen into disfavor.
Tbe cuxtom as originally observed,
however, was tiot without commendable
features; for before the advent of those
hard and fast conventionalities which
finally made it more burdensome than
enjoyable, there was a hearty and cordial
simplicity maintained which did much
to promote genuine good fellowship and
friendly interest.
During the present holiday season, an
effort is to be made here in Somerset to
revive, in a aeuse, the origiiial idea of
friendly ca lling. Tbe aim of those iden
tified with the movement representa
tives from all the Sunday Schools in
town is first, to carry to every Somerset
home expressions of a genuine interest
and good will from the Sunday Schools,
and second, to obtain in tbe various homes
simple and easily furnished data which,
are to be tbe basis for future plans look
ing to tbeoommon interest and prosperity
of both homes and schools.
The natural aud intimate relationship
which exists between the borne aud the
Sunday School should and doubtless will
eoliat the hearty co-operation of all the
people in our homes, so that, when oa
the afternoou of Tuesday, Dec. 27tb, the
representatives of tbe Sunday Schools
call, they will be received with tbe same
cordiality, kindly interest, and spirit of
helpfulness with which they come.

Topeka, Kan., December 1. The Slate
Cinvassiug board decided a tie between
A. E. Scott, Republican, and L. M. Marks,
Populist, candidates for the Legislature
irom Jelfersou county, by ordering the
drawing of lots. Mr. Scott won, but did
not demand his certiScste, going home
with Ibe expectation that it would be sent
by mail. Before the certificate was sent,
however, tbe mid-Pacific ocean vote cast
by the Twentieth Kansas en route to Ma
nila was received. Upon examination one
vote was found for Mr. Marks. Accord
ingly the State canvassing board reversed
its decision and issued a certificate to Mr.
Marks.

days on the chain gang by Judge Nor

was hilariously intoxicated a! the time of
