A PRACTICE.
Serious Charges Against a Col
Ored Attorney.

Some days since Attorney General
Turner made written charges against
Attorney S. H. Scott before the Grim
inal court to the effect that Scott had
threatened to appear as prosecuting
witness against one William Moore,
and did appear, because Moore re-
fused to employ him as counsel. Sat
urday last Colonel 7. II. lockwood,
p%rscticing attorney, preferred other
charges against Scott, described in the
prelude as conduct grossly unpro-
fessional, dishonorable and unbecom-
ing a gentleman.
The charges are that while the case
of Amanda Gaines, charged with
stealing money from Sam Sing,
and that of John T. Wilson
charged with receiving said money,
showing it to be stolen, were pending
before the criminal court. Scott tried
to induce Wilson to turn states
evidence against Amanda Gaines,
promising him that he would induce
the attorney-gcneral to grant him i'm
munity, if he did so, adding that this
was the only way in which he could
free himself. Wilson did not consent,
the charge says, butnevertheless Scott
tried to induce Acting Attorney. Gen
eral Cassels to promise to enter a nolle
pros on condition Wilson would do
this.
All this Col. Logwood claims was
done without his consent, he being the
leading lawyer and the defense being
under his absolute control.
Both charges will be Investigated on
Saturday next by the court, who will
be asked to debar.Scott from practice.

a Strong Insurance Statement

Every prudent business man must
recognize and acknowledge the i'm
portance Of securing his estate and his
family against the contingency Of his
premature removal. Experienced
business men universally recognize
that the best method Of covering such
a contingency is through a life insur-
ance company, which has financial
strength, and has the power and guar
antees in its contracts to pay losses in
full and without delay.
In another column may be found
the full statement of the condition Of
the Equitable life assurance society on
January 1, 1881. Upon a oursory ex-
animation Of this statement we see
that the company received in cash
during the year 1880 the sun Of S.
1869 43, Of which amount they re-
turned to policy-holders about fifty.
five per cent, or S4,792,937 81, and
increased its fund by net cash assets
during the year about two and a hall
million dollars, and, including some
items fully secured and accrued, buf
not yet due, the increase Of assets fol
the yer will show about thFeo aat
three-quarter millions.
It's surplus Of assets over all liabili.
ties amounts to 50, ,294 p, or about
thirty per cent Of its entire liabilities
It's policies become indisputabl'
after three years, aud its losses are
paid without rebate for interest, i'm.
mediateIy on the completion aud re.
ceipt Of satisfactory proof Of loss anC
proper release.
This seems to be a company in which
every prudent man may insure viii
the utmost confidence, that in case Of
death, or maturity Of tho policy, his
! claim will be promptly and fully paid.

A HERETO.

So the Methodist Council Decides Rev.
Thomas, but They VIII Not Burn
Him.
SYCAMORE, ILL, Oct. 11.-Dr. Thomas
was suspended from the church by the
jury, last night. They assembled at
about 1880 o'clock and were in secret sess-
ion for nearly four hours. Six ballots
were taken, two on the two charges and
four on the three specifications. The
first specification, in which DIR. Thomas
was charged with denying the inspira-
ton and authority of certain of the ca
nonical books of the old and new Testa-
ments was not sustained. All the char
ges were sustained, as well as the second
and third specifications. In the second
specification DIR. Thomas was charged
with denying the doctrine of atonement,
as taught in the second and twelfth arti-
cles of religion, and in the third speciti-
cation he was charged with teaching the
theory of probation after death for those
who die in sin. This verdict, which
probably willnot be known by DR.. Thom-
as until morning, will be no surprise to
him for he anticipated it. The verdict
of this committee is final, so far as the
Jurisdiction of the Rock River Conference
is concerned. Unless DR.. Thomas should
change his mind he will take an appeal
to the next higher court, the Judicial
Conference, and in case of any decision
there should be against him he can carry
certain points of the case up to the Gen
eral Conference which meets in 1884. In
order to secure this privilege he must alb
stain from preaching during the inter
vening space Of time. The jury in the
Parkhurst trial returned verdict of no
guilty.

Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad,
justed TO secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity OF effect. They are the result
of years Of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most etfectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement OF the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and enectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class OF diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice. and by all
civilized nations, is one OF the many
proofs Of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded Of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin.
istered to children with perfect safety.
AYERS PILLS are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Biliousness, .Jaundice, rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
As Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are infiamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.
