That Body Will Make a Thorough Investigation of Facts Surrounding the Slaying of Local Man.
The coroner's verdict on the murder of Henry Dayton, September 5, 1910. probably will be filed Monday. The verdict was to have been filed this afternoon but after a conference with Police Chief Gormon, the coroner consented to withhold the filing of it as it was believed efforts of the police to locate Joseph Snyder, the confess ed murderer, would be handicapped in case the verdict was made public. Mrs. Dayton is in a very nervous condition or is feigning illness it Is said. She appears to be on the verge of nervous prostration when talking to the authorities. She still maintains her innocence and says, she never could have slept over the grave of her husband for the last two years as she has been doing had she known her husband was buried in the cellar. The grave is not more than six feet from where Mrs. Dayton slept. Grand Jury Called. Following the investigations of Prosecutor Reller and Patrolman Lawler at the home of Mrs. Henry Dayton, the grand jury was ordered to be summoned this morning by Judge Fox to convene next Wednesday to investigate the murder. Prosecutor Reller requested that tho grand jury be summoned as soon as possible as he desires the testimony of the witnesses. There are a large number of witnesses and the prosecutor believes it will be better for the state to have the Investigation commenced as soon as possible. Plans of the house and written statements of some of the people who will be summoned have been procured. The premises were also examined by the prosecutor. All the witnesses who will probably be summoned are now in the city except Snyder.

The lines for games were also repainted and everything will be in first class condition for use Monday. - A mock election was held in the 8A Civics class this week to illustrate how elections are conducted. A full set of election officers were selected, and all the formalities gone through with as nearly as possible. . At the close of each term the class leaving Garfield and the one just entering each have an evening meeting t the school building, the purpose being for pupils and teachers to meet the teachers of the school the pupils re to enter, become acquainted with the courses of study, and thus be able '.o begin the new work to the best possible advantage. Arrangements for ihese meetings for the present term will be made at once. Shot an Angel. Now and again we hear of strange and rare birds being shot in England, but how many sportsmen except Mr. Wells' clergyman can claim to have shot an angel? One such man exists, though it is doubtful whether he Is proud of his skill. It was nighttime, and he was passing Crayford parish churchyard with his gun over his shoulder when he saw what he took for a ghost He leveled his piece and fired, but his aim was wild. He had failed to wing his quarry. Investigation showed that the ghost was a sculptured antrel on a tomb, and he had shot off one if Its toes. He admits now it was not fbest he saw. London Chronicle.

ALICB 8TKBBIN8 WELLS, Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, the woman policeman of Los Angeles, in an address at the sufirage convention refceutly held in Philadelphia had the following to say about the need for women In her rather unusual vocation: "One or more policewomen should be i connectfd with nfh noiia itunnHmont u,n lTom women ir ior notning else.

She is of great value in tracing missing persons who Mrs. Wells told of her experiences in Los Angeles in preventing the sale of tickets to moving picture theaters or any other public amusement to children under fourteen unless accompanied by adults. NEW YEAR GOOD CHEER. open boue. We are apt to grow supersensitive and self conscious when we are surrounded by strangers. We wonder If anything we can do will give pleasure. We stay alone and wish that some one would meet us halfway, yet we do not go out to meet them. We sigh for responsiveness and sympathy and are not conscious that tbe slightest indication on our part of a desire to be friendly might bring a cordial welcome from those whose coldness we have criticised. "Open house" in Its old generous sense may not be a possibility under modern conditions, but those of us who live in the city might touch the lives of the people who yearn for companionship and bring to sad hearts a glow of delight in the enjoyment of our neignborliness. There is scarcely a community or settlement where one cheery and neighborly woman may not rouse a spirit of co-operation if she exerts herself sufficiently. It would be Interesting If more of us would make the experiment during the gray winter aays. especially the days between Christmas and New Year's, which hang so heavily on the hands of those who have no share In the merrymaking of others, if during these days we would open our tiny apartment or even our one room in a boarding house, to receive those less fortunate than ourselves for an hour's interchange of good wilL Aeoordion Plaited Net Accordion net is ubiquitous for girls" dresses, the more luxurious materials being, of course, more or less reserved for their elders.

A Russian tells a funny story of bis first encounter with the English language. The day after h! arrival in London he made a call on a friend in Park lane and on leaving Inscribed in his notebook what be supposed to be the correct address. , Alld pointed to tbe addre88 tnat ne ha1 written down. The cabman looked him over, cracked his whip anil drove away without him. This experience being repeated with two or three ether cabmen, the Russian turned indignantly to tua police, with no better results. One officer would laugh, another would tip his head and make u motioa imitating the revolution of a wheel, and so on. Finally the poor foreigner save it np and with a great deal of difficulty, recalling the landmarks which he had observed the day before, found his way to his friend's house. Arrived there and In company with one who could understand him, he delivered himself of a severe condemnation of the cabmen and the police of London for their impertinence and discourtesy. His friend asked for a look at the mirth provoking address and the mystry was solved. This was the entry: "Ring the BelL" The Russian had with great care copied, character for character, the legend on the gatepost supposing that It indicated tbe bouse and street Fearson's. The Worth While Person. Certain qualities go to the making of anv human beinz whom other hu man beings esteem. Certain lngredi-! ents are as necessary to a man t as flour and yeast to bread or Iron and carbon to steel. Ton cannot make them any other way. There is a combination of steadiness of purpose, breadth of mind, kindliness, wholesome common sense. Justice, perhaps a Sash of humor, certainly a capacity for the task in hand that produces a worth while person. The combination occurs In every rank in life. Tou find It as often in the kitchen as In tbe parlor; oftener, perhaps, in tbe field than in the office. The people who are so composed have spiritual length, breadth, thickness; they are people of three dimensions. Everybody feels alike about them. Atlantic. The Primitive Man. "Jones Is so dreadfully primitive!" "What's his latest?" "Why, we were at the opera house the other night and a stage hand removed a table, and Jones yelled "Supe, supe!" We were dreadfully mortified." "I was at a dinner the other night and Jones sat next to me. When he saw the row of spoons and forks and knives beside his plate be beckoned to tbe waiter.

When the air Is very thick and hary it may contain floating dust particles to the number of from 10,000 to 20,000 in every cubic centimeter, while a cubic centimeter of very clear air may contain only from a dozen to a few hundred particles. An English observer's data indicate that there Is a relation between tbe quantity of dust and the temperature of th'i air. A great amount of dust It Is thought increases the temperature In the daytime and checks the fall of temperature at night The reason Is that tbe presence of dust serves as an obstruction to tbe free radiation of heat through the air. The sunbeams pass through very pure, clear air without lending much beat to It and at night the heat received by the ground during the day readily escapes through the same air, but if the atmosphere is heavily laden with dust the sun's rays are partly arrested by the particles which, becoming heated, in turn warm the air, and in like manner heat radiated from the earth at night is retained In the hazy layers of ! air In contact with its surface. Without Its atmosphere, which serves as a coverlet to protect It against the fearful cold of space, the surface of the earth would be frozen like that of tbe airless moon. But tbe data gathered by reliable observers show that the atmospheric blanket wrapped around our planet varies In Its power to retain heat in proportion to the amount of dust particles it contains.

"How do you make out that George Washington was the first man?" said the teacher, smiling indulgently. "Because." said the little boy.
