The chief business before the court was of a nature that was flavored with alcoholic stimulant. One man was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or take tho alternative of languishing lan-guishing in jail for thirty whole days while the fine spring weather makes tho outside world joyous.

Barker. The young man would have preferred to be permitted to return to Evanston, but the court held that the duty of imposing the sentence was plain, even though tho young man qualified his desiro to become be-come a citizen of the city to the east by stating that his ambition was to get a job at Evanston there was no hint that he desired to worship further fur-ther at tho shrine of tho flowing fountain. foun-tain.
