Indian Raids AGAIN Reported.

THE fitness of Justice Woods for the bench
OF the United States District Court, to which
he was yesterday appointed by the Pres-
dent, cannot be questioned anywhere, and
although there will be disappointments
these can rise no higher and go no deeper
than simple personal regrets. The selection
will be regarded as a good one, and it is one
lor which the public mind has been prepared
by the information sent out from Washing
ton during the past few days. Indeed, from
the first Judge Woods has been in the fore
most rank of the possible appontees The
only objection that could have had any
weight against him is the one of transferring
him from the State Supreme Court, to which
he has added strength, and as a

IT is difficult sometimes to decide just what
one wants. But when one has made choice and
goes for it without reserve, there is something
about it that is almost certain to excite common
dation. Such was the style of three men at
Highlandtown, Nd, on Monday last With
tastes that must be slightly vitiated, they con-
cluded they wanted some dead bodies, and with
ont false delicacy, went in broad daylight to the
cemetery and proceeded to make their selec.

They got what they wanted and started home
well pleased with their success. But the demon
of strong drink got the best of them, and they
stopped at "A brewery to take the taste out of
their mouths. While inside an officer came

as they came out. They declared that they were

THAT the farmers, grain-dealers and ship
pers of southern and central Illinois have
long been suffering loss on account of the
system of weighing and inspection of grain
at East st. Louis is matter of general knowl-
edge; but if the situation is anything like
what reports published elsewhere make it
out to be, the interested parties in that State
ought to send delegations to the State Legis-
lature to stay there until an act for radical
relief is obtained. The great success of
State inspection at Chicago is a sufficient
yindication of the system, and probably East
ST. Louis needs it as much as ever Chicago
did
