A Warm Tribute of Respect by the Dead Lawyer's Associates.
Circuit court convened regular October term this for the morning, with all the officers and most of the attorneys present. The first matter presented was the report of the committee appointed to frame resolutions upon the death of Amasa Johnson, whose name is now for the first time in forty years omitted from the list of attorneys of the Marshall county bar. Upon the resolutions offered by the committee every lawyer in attendance spoke and these short tributes were marked by deep feeling and expressed the profound regard, respect and admiration in which the dead man was held by his professional associates. Judge Capron, who spoke last, could scarcely restrain the tears as he reflected upon the friendship of nearly half a century now broken by the cold hand of death. The resolutions are as follows: Inasmuch as death which removes the monarch from his throne as ruthlessly as the peasant from his cottage and before which all human opposition is vain, has laid his icy fingers on a member of the Marshall County bar, we are again called upon to render the tribute of respect due to the memory of our deceased associate, and to make a brief record of our appreciation of his virtues and talents and of the more prominent incidents of his private and public career, and to extend to his afflicted family our sincere sympathy and condolence in their bereavement. Amasa Johnson was richly endowed with many of those more excellent qualities of head and heart which go to make up the character of a valued and useful American citizen. He was plain and unassuming, full of practical common sense, honest, conscientious, benevolent and kind, ever ready to extend a helping hand to those in need; n-j friend ever went to him and found an ear deaf, or a heart closed to his appeals. Patriotism with him was more than a sentiment; it was a deep-seated principle. Love of country and its institutions was his inspiration. He was a warm, true friend of the soldiers of the Civil War his companions fn arms. He manfully performed what he believed to be his duty toN his family, to his friends, to his country and to his God. lie was not ambitious of political honors nor was he a place seeker by nature. His political principles were chosen from sincere convictions. Though his life was marked by no great events nor extraordinary vicissitudes, it was also undimmed by any dishonest act. He always and everywhere aimed and endeavored to be right and to do right. He was the enemy of no one. In Iiis personal intercourse he was manly, generous, candid, sincere and the worthy recipient of the friendship and confidence of all" who knew him. Duty, honor, and integrity were active principles of his daily life and he squared his conduct by their requirements. ,As a member of the Methodist Episcopal church he was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. He was a kind father, a loving husband and sincere christian ;delighting in the calm content of his home and fireside rather than in the loud acclaim of men. Therefore, Resolved, that in the death of Amasa Johnson the Marshall County bar has lost an able, honest, conscientious, upright and unsullied member, the community a worthy, true, honorable and just citizen; his family a kind, generous, affectionate, gentle, noble and loving husband and father; and his bereaved wife and children we tender our most sincere sympathies and kindest condolence in this their greatest sorrow and deepest gloom. Resolved, That, as an additional mark of respect to the memory of Mr. Johnson, long a distinguished member of this Bar, the regular business of the Marshall circuit court be now suspended in order that his former associates may pay fitting tribute to his public and private virtues. Resolved, That, as a further testimony of respect to the memory of the deceased, the Marshall circuit court, at the conclusion of these ceremonies, shall adjourn. ..Resolved, That, these resolutions be spread upon the records of this court and a copy thereof be transmitted to the family of the deceased.

'A play of absorbing interest'1 is the description given of "Human Hearts", one of the kind which never seems to grow old. It was nrst produced six or seven years ago and frequent repetitions only seem to have enhanced its valu3 as a drawing attraction. The story , is a simple one of leve and devotion to diity; dealing' with the life of one Tom Logan, who is a blacksmith in a small village in the Arkansas' Hills. Tarough the machinations of a scheming villain he Is unjustly accused of a horrible crime, is convicted, and sentenced to serve a term of years In States prison. Of course in the end it is discovered that he is innocent and all his wrongs are righted. The location of the play admits of superior opportunities in the way of scenic display, of which the management is said to have taken every advantage. It is promised that a more than ordinarily capable com pany lias been engaged for its prc"Human Hearts" will be the attraction at opera' house Tuesday Oct. 22. V
City Treasury Empty Notes About Paving Other Council News.
At the regular meeting of the common council Monday evening the city treasurer submitted his report for the month of September as follows: General Fund On hand last report; $2,698 17 Received from taxes.. 428 67 " licenses 50 00 44 44 cemetery lot. . 7 00 .

The receipts of the treasury before the next council meeting will be sufficient to cover the shortage and probably more, but it is plain that a loan must be negotiated and that the city's business must be conducted chiefly on borrowed money until next tax-paying time. The redeeming feature of the situation is that the city's credit is the very best and the improvements are worth the money. " W. W. Hatch was present and stated his opinion that it would be unwise to open up South Michigan street for paving so late in the season, considering the chances of bad weather. He spoke' of the delays in the work on the other two contracts, aggregating five weeks, and explained it by showing how the brick makers had failed to perform their agreement to furnish material. Mr. Hatch said that he expects to have Laporte street between Center and Walnut open for public use by Thursday. The council, by a formal vote, u greed that the South Michigan street work shall be postponed until spring. The street commissioner was directed to put in a catch basin at the southeast corner of Michigan and Jefferson streets and was authorized to sell the old 4-inch wooden water mains at 2 cents per foot. The waterworks commissioner reported the completion of the work of laying mains on the south side and he city attorney was granted further time to report on the legality of the charge for meter rent by the electric light company. The city marshal asked and was given authority to repair the calaboose, some recent inmates having kicked out the ends and escaped. Gilson Cleaveland asked permission to build about 25 feet of new board walk at his residence lot and the matter was referred to the stree.t committee with power to act. The city engineer presented plans and specifications for the proposed Durr sewer on Washington street, and they were accepted, approved and adopted. The bids are to be opened October 21 and the council took ä recess to that date. Councilman Parker was absent at the meeting, having gone to Ohio to attend a funeral. List of Unclaimed Letters.
