On Tuesday morning at the resump- tion of the criminal superior court session several matters were taken up. Charles Chapman, the Quaker Hill youtly implicated in the burglaries at QuaKer Hill with two- brothers, Fred | and_Edward Chapman, was released by Judge Ralph Wheeler in the custo- dy of County Probation Officer R. W. Mansfield. The sentence of six months which had been imposed by the court at the opening of the present term was suspended. The probation officer has found work for the boy. Attorney Charles Whittlesey, who represents Michael Ridisz, asked that the trial of the prisoner be postponed until the May term. Attorney Whit- tlesey said that the man doés not seem sane, acting so like a crazy man that nothing can be learned from him to assist in the preparation of a defense. State's Attorney Hull opposed the motion. He said that it was only nat- ural that Ridisz should wish to ap- pear crazy.. Mr. Hull thought the trial should be held this term as scheduled. Judge Ralph Wheeler decided to have Ridisz examined to establish his sanity and he directed that Dr, Pol- lock be secured to examine the pris- oner as soon as possible. Dr. Pol- lock’s finding will be repoted to the court. If Ridisz is adjudged insane by Dr. Pollock, who is superintendent of the Norw] hospital for the insane, he will probably be committed to the hospital. If it develops in the exam nation that he is sane the trial will undoubtedly be taken up this term. Ridisz is confined in the New Lon- The #Bulletin. | ACCUSED MURDERER i, don jail and it is there he will be examined by Dr. Pollock. Dr. Dimon Case. The case against Dr. Dimon of New London, charged with eriniinal neglect, was then resumed and witnesses were called in rebuttal. Dr. C. F. Ferrin testified that if Mrs., Buivet showed signs of shock she would have grown worse because of the wounds. She would not have improved as the show- ed signs of doing when Dr. Dimon left. There was brief testimony by Drs. Lee and Henkle, after which the tes- timony was said to be all in and the arguments were made by Attorneys Hankey, Freeman, Geary and Hull. They finished at 3.20. Judge Wheeler then charged the jury and they retired at 3.47. They had not returned at 4.30, and after a canference with the attor- neys Judge Wheeler called in the juty and stated that they would be excused until this morning at 10 o'clock, as the case was one which demanded thor- ough deliberation. He was willing to keep them out later then if the coun- sel desired. He cautioned the jury about talking of the case to others or even for two of the jury to talk about it outside the jury room. They will be sent’ out to continue their deliberations immediately after the opening of court today and a ver- dict Is expected this morning. Burns Case. State's Attorney H.

Ricketts on Optimism—Social Time—Forty Hours’ Devetion. league held one of the tisfactory and enjoyable meet- ings in its history Tuesday evening in the church parlors, when President William Bailey introduced to the large gathering of members Rev. Charles H. Ricketts of the Greeneville Congrega- tional church as the speaker of the evening. Rev. Mr. Ricketts took for his subject A Study of Optimism, which he handled in a manner that won the interest and appreciation of all. In part he said: It is the wisest policy for the begin- ning of the new year not only to de- sire the Dest things but also to strive earnestly to get them, for they will come to us for the most part only as we strive with vigor to get them. It is better to be earch of the best thing that the future has in store than to cast the eyes back over the past and lament what has been or might have been, What Optimism ls. Optimism means bellef that nature and revelation are bringing forth the best possible products ior the human race, It involves two important thing: first, that nature and the superna- tural are producing what is best for us, not necessarily what we desire, and second, that these things come to us only when we seek them. Let it be remembered that optimism’ is some- thing more than longing for the best things, and that it is coupled with a disposition to search into the objective world. If this scheme is carried out, there will be no room for optimism, At the close a vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Ricketts for his able address and a, social time followed, re- freshments being served. The social hour was enlivened by entertaining musical numbers, including solos by James B, Jackson, a duet by Messrs.

Hyomei is prepared from eucalyptus, the ‘most powerful yet healing anti- septic known. Breathe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ- ridden membranc four or five times a day, and in a few days the germs | will disappear. The inflamed condition will go, too, and the snuffing, hawking and offen- sive breath, and the discharge of mu- | cous and crusts in the nose will cease. Then why should any catarra suf- terer hesitate, when The Lee & Osgond Co, have such faith in Hyomei that they offer to return your money cure catarrh. A complete Hyomel outfit, including the inhaler, costs $1.00, and extra bot- | tles, if afterwards needed, cost but 50 cents.
