The case of the state vs. F. ji Stevens, charged with criminally libel- ing Village Recorder. Fred A. King. was tried op Monday last before Judge Holman and _a jury of twelve cuizens. The evidence clearly de- | veloped the fact that the Magnet was | wholly inspired in its attitude toward Mr. King through a spirit of malicious- ness, Politics. caused the trouble, and inexperience in newspaper work combined with an utter lact of in- tegrity made it possible for the Mag: net .to deliberately malign a fellow citizen and escape the punishinent it so richly deserved. The verdict of the jury in favor of the defendant was by no means an endorsement of the Magnet’s course in the premises. A general feeling prevailed to the effect that Mr. King should have paid no more attention to the Magnet libels than did the balance of the cor#muni- ty. Having served this village as re- corder for two terms and having been re-elected by an overwhelming major- ity the lie was’given direct to the in- stnuations of that irrespovsible sheet. After raking over the records during ithe years of his conduct of the office, Mr. King’s enemies could only say that at a meeting of the council held about one year ago he read-a bill that called for one dollar ang fifty cents more than the amount contract- ed for ona wood deal involving fit teen cords. Mr. Stevens might pfe- sent a bill to the village, county or state for any sum for any alleged pur- pose and it would be the duty of the proper officer to present the claim. So itwas in this case. .Recorder King/did not 0, k. the bill. and when itcame before the council the erfor was corrected and allowed at the price agreed upon. Great public plunder, that !. No more unworthy“at- tempt was ever made to besmitch the good name ot an honorable citizens. Think of it! A public official is charged with reading a bill not proper- ly made out. As has been said by members of the jury who heard the evidence, the conclusion was reached that the Magnet was not worthy of consideration. by.Mr. King, and in- asmuch as the jnfluence of that‘paper is nilthe artitlés objected to by the state could not be. libelous. The following statement, signed by every member of ‘the jury who tried the case, clearly sets . forth the ‘feeling of the entire community and is in fact |a more complete endorsement of Mr. April 6, 1899. We, the jury in the case of state of | Minnesota vs. Fred J. Stevens, do hereby certify that our verdict ren- dered in the case was not intended as an endorsement of the action of the Grand Rapids Magnet in its attacks on Fred A. King. After hearing the testimony the jury were convinced of the honesty and integrity of Mr. King as a public officer, and in fact never doubted It. We believe that the sev- eral articles published with reference to the actions of Mr. King as a public official were uncalled for and wnitten for the purpose of injuring him in the minds of the public for personal reasons.

The Curse of Familiarity In their strife for mental equality with men, women have unintention- ally broken down a fine reserve of manner which previously lent them an air of mystery—of superiority in the best sense, than which no element is more successful in holding a man's intérest, love, and respect, ‘The young woman who greets a man friend with “Hello! old man,” or its equivalent in modern slang. mightin retufa be called “a peach,” but she would be a peach with the bloom rabbed off. Everyday 1. become more convinced that at the root of the increasing evidences of wide- Spread marital unhappiness would be H found the familiarity that breeds con- tempt. When a boy climbs a tree tor green apples or cherries, whichever he prefers, he constantly sees a better one higher up beyond his reach, an- til he nearly breaks his neck to get the one out of his stretch, partly hidden by foliage. And so man's ideal woman hangs -at the tip-top of tree of knowledge. If the ideal drops inte his hands, he throws it tothe ground as worthless and hegins to climb again. Would it be reasonable to think, after working so hard for cherries, that he would value them long tt he ate a. surfeit of them?— Frances Evans, in the Ladies’ Home J al: The teacher's institute just closed: has heen of absorbimg-rnterestzand-oF-| great benefit to all who attended it. Prof. W. W. Pendergast, the conduct- or, and Mrs. E. K. Jacques, are both highly educateé and broad-minded persons, who thoroughly understand this work. Reading, history and geography werte presented oy Prof. Pendergast in a new light, and “School Economy” was made plain through his inexhaustible fund of in- formation and experience. Grammar and arithmetic were treated in an ex- ceedingly interesting manner, by Mrs. Jacques, whose teaching of singing created} an enthusiastic response by the teachers. Papers were read by A. M. Woodruff, Miss Margaret Doran and Miss Mabel Brady. -Miss Edith Crossley gave a very interesting and well rendered recitation. The lecture Thursday evening by Prof. Pendergast, was well attended, and listened to with great interest throughout. He is an entertaining speaker, and held the attention of the audience from start to finish. The teachers have gained new life and vigor, and will take up their work: again with a renewed «letermination to do their very best for the advance- ment of education. Mrs. Stilson, . the county superin- tendent deserves great praise for the thoughtful and efficient way in which the details. ofthe work. were carried, as.also does the beard of education forthe use of the splendid. school, building and the conveniences¢upplied, ACARD Granp Rapips, April 7, 1899.
