(Dud) Wolgamott, thrice convicted for violation of t lie prohi Vtlon laws, th last time last Satur day, on an Indictment charging pos session of Intoxicating liquor, wan sentenced this morning by Judge I'". M. Calkins In tlio circuit court, to ccrvo two yeara In the county jail at hard labor, and was also assessed the coit of action. The Bentence Is the extreme penalty for the offense. The court granted the defeiidany to days, in whicli to me a motion tor n new trial, and upon recommenda tion of District Attorney Itawlcs Moore, the hall was raised from $1, 000 to $2,000. Fifteen days were granted in which to secure sume. Wolgamott has hall of $1,000 stand ing on an appeal to the supreme court. , Attorney Oeorgo M. Roberta, speak irs In behalf of the defendant, main tained that the prohibition laws were r.mblguous, and that the provision meant to apply the extreino penalty for three convictions for the samo cnctlim of the law, instead of three convictions for separate sections. DIs tr'ct Attorney Kawles Moore contest ed the contentions at koine length, whereupon Attorney Koborts declared that the "remarks of the district at torney clinch my own argument." Tho court ruled that the law re ferred to various violations instead of specific, and then passed sentence. Relative to the plea of the defend ant against the raising of the bond, the court said "tho bail was fixed at $3,000 In the Hall caso, and It is no more than fair that It should be the same amount in this." Though no deflnito decision has been reached, It Is probable than an appeal will ho taken from tho latest ruling. Lillian Russell Very III PITTSBURG, Juno 5.

Long of O. A. C, and the county agent on June Tth and 8th in the orchards listed, below. It has been demonstrated many times In the past that the fruit that brings the good money is the good big stuff. And proper thinning of. both pears and apples is lniiortant if large size fruit is to be obtained. While apple thinning is universally practiced in the valley there is a viral difference in the amount of thinning that Is done by the different . orchardists. Some experiments have been carried on in the past which throw some light on this subject, and these figures will be available at the demonstration. Pear thinning is not generally prac ticed in the valley, but there are some varieties that will pay well to thin. Most of the work at these demonstra tions will be on the Winter Nells, but Boine work will be done on llartletts. Tho first demonstration will bo held on Wednesday, June Tth, at 2 p. m. at tho Hear Creek orchards. v The second on Thursday, Jttno 8th at 10 a. m. at Carpenter llros. orchard. This will be mostly on Uartlett pears. Third on Thursday, June 8th nt 2 p. m. at Coj. Voorhies orchard. Work will bo given on Wlntor Neils and some other varieties.

The new picture "His Pack Against the Wall," which was shown at the Jtlalto theatre yesterday, is a delight- iui variation or tho outworn western Ntrong-mun melodrama. In stead of a hero, who can split n table with a punch, we find a little tailor's helper, driven from Iris own 'set' In tho East acclaimed a hero by his new Western companions. Inadvertently, ho has witnessed tho killing of two desper adoes in the desert. Too terrified to move, he is discovered by the sheriff and lauded to the community for his bravery. . . In this situation, with his back against the wall, the little hero has to live up to his reputation. ..To compli cate matters, he falls in love with the most sought-after girl In the country urhd knows that his love is returned, liventually, lie Is forced to perform one ! heroic act, ,,nnd this . forever makes it impossible to deny his he roic, qualities. Only n deep-dyed dyspeptic could fall to be amused by It. "I Do!" HltH High Mark. ! Only a wooden Indian , could sit through Harold Lloyd's newest com edy, "J Do!" nnd not double up with laughter. Audiences nt tho Page thentre, where it will bo shown to night, last time:., stnrted laughing nt the very beginning, which shows Lloyd as a young man In love cross ing n busy street, his mind evidently upon the fair maiden for whom he has just purchased flowers. They shouted when, n year after Lloyd nnd Mildred Davis had stood before the altar, nnd snld, "I Do!" they were seen wheeling a baby car riage down the avenue, nnd the car riage was found to contain- It's too good to tell! "I Do!" Is Harold TJoyd nt his best, which Is making n broad state ment In view of tho ninny good comedies he hag made. Itshlgh qual ity, Its cleverness nnd .wholesomeness augurs well for his future comedies. Thomas Mclghan Coming to Page. Does wealth mean happiness. This question is answered In Thomas Mei ghan's new picture. "A Prince There Was," from the George M. Cohnn success, which will be seen nt the Page theater beginning tomorrow matinee. In this picture the star plays the role of. a wealthy, but un happy young man who believes in toxication to be tho only balm for his fretfulncss. Put when he falls In love, finds a motive tn life, hys the prince and finds real contentment, after a story that Is rich In romance, dramatic flavor nnd human emotion. 23 Mc Soldiers Killed.
