Hutton of Stuart, appeared be fore J udge Uarlon In county court last Tuesday. The young man waived preliminary hearing and the case went to the district court. Judge Dickson was called and held a term of court. Livingston pleaded guilty to tbe charge against him, but alleged that the offense In main was committed by his brother, who is about twenty-four years of age, tbe defendant being but eighteen years of age. After taking Into consideration the age of tbe de fendant and tbe fact that this was his first offense, Judge Dickson paroled him to his uncle, Mr. Hutton, for two years. He Is required to appear In oourt on the first day of each regular term of court during the parole and bis uncle put up a 1500 bond to guar antee bis appearance lu court ou the days mentioned.. ; At tne opera nouse, tne omooaras | announce we are to have “Buster Brown,,’ his dog Tige, his father, hls mother, hls grand-mother, Marv Jane and hls large retinue of pretty girl friends. “Buster Brown” Is the most successful hero of the plotorial fiction, j Successful as pictured in the prints arid more so wnen idealized upon the stage. Tills success can be attributed '' to the faot that the many strenuous events of hls many sided career appeal to,everyone in an audience, from the ragged urchin, perched up In the gal ls^ to the staid man of business oc cupying the higher priced seat below. Everyone who sees Buster recognizes the human nature in him. The boy ,deslres to emulate him, the man is parried back to the days when he too bePame involved in boyish scraps that suggested the slipper cure to hls mother. Then, too, Buster is a stage preatlon fairly exudes mirth. Bis pareer is a dance—a laugh—a song or inarch—a perfect kaleidoscope of rapidly moving ohanges, each of that entertaining kind that envolve pure, ivholesome enjoyment. Johnny Mc Cabe, who plays Buster, is conceded to be without a peer in the creation from Outoault’s brain; D. J. Murphy as Tige; and Babe Hudson, who makes an ideal Mary Jane in size and ability; and a big chorus of forty, including the famous "Buster Brown Ponies,” Me all exceedingly clever.

Brick Made from Sand Alnsorth Democrat: Richard Osborn aud John Roach were the first , Of Jthe week exhibiting a brick whioh they made from pure sand by means of electricity. They have been work ing on this proposition for some, and in fact made a number of small bricks, but last Saturday they manufactured 1 a brick of almost the size used in i building. It was made by means of Eli Sawyers electric blower, and the finished product! is a surprise. It is lighter than the day or cement brick, although the sand it was made from was very coarse. The finer the sand tbe smoother the brick will be. The brick is gray in color, and will polish beautifully. They are considering the matter of building a plant to manu facture this product. Life. Blair Tribune: Man unwillingly comes into tbe world with a shrill cry if protest, and when he is forced to eave it he objects still harder. In his babyhood he Is a darling and m angel. In his boyhood he is a tit le devil. In his manhood he is any thing from a mouse up. In his busl 3ess life lie Is a fool. If he kites a check he is a thief, and the law raises the devil with him. If be is a poor man be has no sense, and Is for no account. If he is rich, peo ple call him dishonest and wonder where he got it. If he enters local politics he is a graffer and a crook. II lie remains out of politics, he is no* public spirted and is underslble as a citizen. If he attends church he is a hypocrite. If he stays away from church he is a sinner, and ills soul is enternally damned. If he donates to any charitable cause, he does it for show purposes or to buy a seat In Heaven. If he falls to donate, he is mean, stingy, and a tight wad. When lie comes into the world everybody wants to hug and kiss him. When tie leaves the world most peo ple hate him, If he dies young his friends refer to what might have been his great future. If he lives to a ripe old age, he Is simply in the way, try ing to save funeral expenses. So what the H-is the use? Supervisors Proceedings. (Continued from last week.)
