A JUK5T OF HIS PEERS,

A Dozeu Limbs of the Law Declare Jim Coulter to be of Sound Mind. Jeems Coulter is nil right mentally.

Yesterday afternoon the insanity case of Jim Coulter came up from Walnut township, rt

was a queer case, too.

Jim. and his brother Sam who was his guirdian, wanted to have Jim declared of sound mind and perfect mental dibre. Some three years ago Sam was appointed his brother's keoier and took charge of his projierty and about 81,000 of Jim's cold cash. Tho arrangement proved disagreeable to botli and yesterday attorney Sellar, acting for the brothers, asked that Jitn be declared sane. It was decided to get a jury that would charge no fees so the bailiff collected twelve lawyers and in the box could be observed the gonial mugs of William G. Houk, llead Hanna, Wr. T. Whittington, Will Humphrey, Jim Hanna, Will Hunt and others. The plaintiff was not present, ho being conlined at his home with what Sam denominated "creeprn' pains in his stomach." The burden of proof, therefore. fell upon Samuel, tho guardian, and he testified sturdily to rid himself of the irksome responsibility. He thought that im was sane although people could easily impose upon him and his mind wandered considerably. Finally the case went to the jury and the jury went out to make up a verdict. The history of "the deliberations of that jury would fill a book. Seven of the jurymen lawyers were sore at the Coulters because Sam had testified that the ease would never have gotten into court had it not been for "them swin.dlin' lawyers." At one time eight voted Jim insane. But finally all came around but one, and the foreman and the teller put up a job on this gentleman and counted his ballot in favor of sanity.

Then, in spite of his protests they inarched in and declared Jim to be as wise as Soloman and no moro in need of a guardian than attorney Sellar, himself. They also allowed Sam about S300 for shaving Jim during his "recent" queerness.

School-boards and Black-boards, The attention of our school board is called to our school blackboards. These should be green instead of black. It has been remarked of the pupils in our city schools that so many wear eye-glass, or have weak eyes. This is undoubtably due to the constant use of blackboards in the school room. If it Vie needful to use them so much, let the color of the same be changed from black to nature's green. Instead ot asking parents to procure glasses for their children, suppose we ask the authorities to repaint the boards and thus save our children's eve igbt. Patron.

It Will Please the Children. The attraction at Music Hall Saturday evening will be a plav that has made for its author and manager more money than any other of modern times. It is one out of the usual order of dramatic conceptions and is exempt from the stiffness and stagy effect that usually characterizes dramatic productions. Everything is acted out as naturally as if the observer were witnessing an occurrence in renl life. It is the justly celebrated "Little Lord Fanntlerov," than which no play of recent years has made a more pronounced or lasting success. i-

Will Probably Recover.

Ed Voris was out hunting with several friends yesterday and had the most exciting adventure of his life. He was in advanc of the party when a covey^ of birds arose about him. His friends blitzed away and filled him full of bird shot. Had ho been a quail he would have died right there, but as ho wasn't he will probably recover.

BALKED BY BAOOHUS.

Two fligh Offloials of Montgomery County Come to Grief in Lafayette. This county bows her head in humiliation and disgrace. Two of her loftiest functionaries hare brought her fair name into disrepute as the following extract from the Lafayette

Journal

recounts:

The most ludicrous attempt at performing the funotions of the law ever perpetrated in this county transpired here Tuesday evening. A Linden constable named Kennelly and a man he had authorized to act as his deputy came to the city in the afternoon on an oflioial errand. They were armed with a warrant issued by a justice of the peace at Linden for the arrest of a young man named Allen, who is charged with having purloined some old plows owned by a man at that place. Allen was found at the home ot his parents on one of the Goldsmith farms near the fair grounds, was placed under arrest and brought down town. The Linden officers had succeeded so immensely that they concluded to celebrate their achievement and they put their conclusions into operation. Some of Allen's friends saw the favorable turn affairs hnd taken and secured warrants for the arrest of the officers, charging them with intoxication. The constable wbs found guilty as oharged and fined 81 and costs, for which he gave security. After the trial the officers took their prisoner up Main street. At the corner of Fifth Allen gave the officers the slip and soon disappeared down an alley. The constable went home on the midnight train and his disgust was too prominent to escape notice. His deputy was as.eep when the train left and no ono romembered to arouse him. An hour after the train had gone he became aroused from his sleep and legan to ask about the train. He was told it had gone an hour ago. "Where was I?" he asked in amazement.

The last seen of him he was trudging toward tho Salem street depot in the vain hope of catching a freight train that would carry him home. He was too disgusted to even converse with himself ubout the events of the evening.

fisnaming Things.

The experienced huntsman in the woods never wastes

rime looking for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer

nor would lie hope to shoot any great number of ducks

on Duel: Lake, for his experience has taught him that such

points are always misnamed, and this lesson holds good with

almost everything in life. For instance, in the case of the

brands on articles of food, spices and other ground food

products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly

pure" or "absolutely pure,"-,are without exception the most

villainously adulterated. 'Tis the wolf in sheep's clothing

The most brazen case is that of the Royal Baking

Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people

as "absolutely pure" when it contains ammonia. You can

smell it in the can and often in.the biscuit while hot.

What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking

powder if she knew it They not only destroy the stomach,

but ammonia will destroy the complexion.

^\ol so with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the

only pure cream tartar powder to be obtained, and tho

only bakiii^ powder made by a physician. Dr. Price has

devoted v. life-time to perfecting this old-fashicncd, in

dispensable article of the culinary art that has stood all the

tests aud remained the standard for forty years,
