si.cs" were expires cd by the actor with touching
s,utlcncSs and plthoS Miss Mittcns Wilett, as

Captain thank you for the presentation of

done in Virginia for the last six years has been
for the purpose Of better government, and to

A Criminal Court.

The docket of Circuit Court is now
so far behind that there is no hope of
ever catching up without an extra
term. In view of the large amount
of business in the Christian Circuit
Court the coming Legislature should
by all means establish Criminal
Court for this county. 1t would
solve the difficulty in an economical
way. The only Office TO be ere
ated would be that of judge. The
present officials could act as prosecut-
ing attorneys for the new court. II
would save many hundreds of dol.
lars now paid for keeping prisoners
from court to court and have a good
effect in more ways than one. Grim
inals could be promptly tried ant
punished before the witnesses dice
, or moved away, as it is often the cas-,
now. Our Representative is hearth!
in favor of the new court. Let u
have it by all means.

rlent.

Many persons who may have a de-
sire to visit ST. Louis during the week
of the great Fair and Yelled Proph-
cts pageant hesitate because of the
possible lack of hotel accommoda-
tons. To provide against this con-
tingency, the wholesale merchants
and manufacturers of st. Louis have
for several years past maintained a
Bureau of Free Information, and all
who apply are directed to respectable
private families and boarding houses
where pleasant accommodation may
be had at reasonable rates. The pub
may be assured that ample provis-
ion will be made for all, thus effectu-
ally preventing extortion and impo-
sition. The Office will be located at
the Railroad Ticket Office, south least
corner of Broadway and Chestnut
street, and no charge of any kind is
made for any service rendered.
