Cuttings.
District Court.
At last the May term of tho district court
has been brought to close, just in time to
avoid the heat of midsummer. All the bust
ness has been disposed of, and now the court
will take much needed rest Until November.
During the summer, however, special.
terms will be held on Saturday of each week
A number of decisions upon evidence taken
during the past term are yet to be made BY
Judges Young and Vanderburgh.
The term just closed has been an import
ant one, and rather longer than was antici-
pated at the opening, but at last it has been
brought to close and nothing but routine
business is now being transacted at the
court house.

into it quite 30 much of heart. Its embeI-

their extreme beauty, but for their especial

Clothes line with one in Chicago, will form Q
perfect telegraph line."
