From the Waupun Wis I Times
Cali of our readers who are afflicted
with long standing or chronic diseases,
should not fail to consult DR.. Brewer.
the celebrated Analytical Physician.
We have been acquainted with him
for years, have made dilligent enquir-
les in relation to his practice. and, as

relief from him, when all other remed-
les failed, can testify He has visited
the principal cities in this section OF
the State regularly for years, and in
every place, on account of the almost
miraculous cures he has performed,
his fame as skillful practitioner has
spread far and wide. We, therefore,
deem it our duty to advise all suffering
from chronic diseases to consult DIR.
Brewer IF your disease is beyond
his control, he will candidly tell you
so. If it is not. your consulting him

An Idaho Judges Charge.

In the course of his charge to
the Jury in a murder case, an Idaho
Judge said;
In making your decision, gen
tlemeh, please bear in mind that
the deceased was reaching for his
hip pocket when the prisoner
blazed away at him. The terrific
rial statutes, you understand, gen
tlemen, allow one man, when he
sees another make this motion, tc
produce his gun and commence
the bombardment. To be sure il
has been proved that the deceased
was reaching for his handkerchlet
but that makes no difference, the
law does not recognize any such
movements. The very fact thai
he was carrying pocket hahdkef
chief while in Idaho shows that ht
was an unfit member Tor dur ter
ritorial society. Please carefully
weigli all of these important facts
before bringing in your verdict.

named Watterson. One day Mr..
Sage sent tie youth out on an err
rand, with Instructions to hurry
back. IT was at the end of the
session and in The midst of the
season when the Washington small
boy had a weakness tor the seduc-
tive game Of marbles. The gen
tleman from Troy waited In vain
for an answer to his message. If
he had renamed IN Congress he
might be waiting yet. The youth
had thrown CONGRESSIONAL duties
over to gamble on his knees in the
Dirt tor soins other boys agates.
Mr. Sage got clue to the missing
messengers whereabouts, how
ever, year or two ago. lie sat
at a public dinner, when a sturdy
man whose sharp talk was making
him the hero of the table came
over and shook his hand.
II havn't seen You for a good
many years said this gentleman.
" I'm the boy you sent out on an
errand down in Washington, with
instructions to hurry back while
you waited" The incident cene
clearly back to the Wall street

scold the transgressor The boy
had become a man, and is known
as Henry Waterson, the editor of

A GOOD BILL.

BE it enacted, &c. That the
Probate Courts of the Territory et
Wyoming, in their respective
counties, in addition to their pro
bate jurisdiction, be, and they are
hereby authorized to hear and de-
termine all civil cases wherein the
damage or debt claimed does not
exceed the sum OF tlve hundred
$500, 00) dollars, exclusive OF in
terest, and such criminal cases ari-
sing under the laws of the Terri
tory as do not require the interven-
ton OF Grand Jnry; Provided,
that they shall not have jurisdiction
in any matter in controversy where
the title, boundary, or right to the
peaceable possession OF land may
be in dispute, or in chancery or di-
vorce cases And provided fur
ther: That in all cases an appeal
may be taken from any order, iudg-
ment, or decree of said Probate
Courts to the District Court.
Sec. End. That all acts and
parts Of acts inconsistent with this
act are hereby repealed Provided
that this act shall mt affect any
suit pending in the district Courts
ot said Territory at the time of its
passage.
The above is an act introduced
in the lowe house Of Congress,
tor the henef Of Wyoming Terri
tory. By amendment It has al
ready been e. tended 10 " ashilig-
ton Territory and it's now desired
to extend its operations to New
Mexico. Tie advantages arc
manifest. A very large number
Of cases both civil and criminal,
could be disp sed of BY such Il
court speedily, with benefit to
litigants, and economy to the
County, and more satisfactorily
than under the present system.
The Importance OF the position
could attach high class of men,
and men of professional attain.
ments, and secure to them a rate
of compensation adequate to the
responsibility.
Our present system is fruitful of
delays ana productive Of excessive
costs to the litigants in small civil
cases. 1t imposes very heavy
burden upon the County, in com
pelling it to maintain prisoners at
times for many months, and often
imposes upon petty criminals a
punishment prior to conviction,
whieh is more than adequate to the
otfefse.
BY all means bet us have the
County court, as proposed, and
if any vi our psople have any
influence in the direction of bring
ing it about, new is the time to ex-
ert it.
