Potter was Riven a severe dose from several of our citizens. Edward Brant, Dr Ray, John Gibbons and Editor Bowersox all said in reply to lawyer O'Hara's question as to Mr. Potter's reputation for truth and veracity that it was "bad, very, very bad." and there were many other leading citizens, who, knowing Mr. Potter's ways of doing things, would have gone on the stand and under oath would have had to give about the same answer. Then reporter Eis-ley was called and the News was taken to task by Judge Coolidge for a sensational article that recently appeared in that sheet reflecting on the Court and Jury.

On Tuesday the Judge charged the jnry and they retired. After deliberating several hours over the case they returned with a disagreement, which is practically a victory for Burk-hard. It is understood they stood 6 to 6. Wna. R.

Prayer meeting Thursday evening. while our comparatively small navy has officers in plenty we are so short of actual sailors as to necessitate some of our men-of-war to go to sea with from one-third to one-half less than the crew actually demanded by the service. We have elected to the presidency a man whose very name aud career have become synonymous with all that Is thorough-going American: not a toiler in a shop in this broad land but who knows that the nexC occupant of the White House is his most loyal friend. Concluding be said: The United States of America.

God's last aud greatest gift to humanity, from out or its heart there shall yet come the answer to some of the deepest and even agonizing problems of our race, a literature as broad as its prairies and as deeo in its onward sweep as the current of the noble chain of lakes Dthe-sbores-of -wbicb some of you reside. Out or its mighty scenery from the Niagara to the Yosemite shall yet come an art before which, culture and grace shall bow as it heretofore has bowed only to a Raphael's Madonna. Beneath and above it all, enthroned as it were on the highest of national sentiment, joining together all, there will be seated, crowned, a Columbia, the emblem of a patriotism that embraces humanity because it must solve its problems and solve them under the Stars and Stripes. For these prerogatives we cannot exchange the blandishments of the boulevards of Paris nor the feudal towers of the romantic Rhine; no, not even a castle on the Thames. My country is indeed of thee, and for thee until death do us part.
