the circle of legal gentlemen, In that u

few months, and In that time has won
the respect Of the community and the
good will of the profession. Success to

of district court in Mills county when
the bar unanimously passed resolutions
commencing his conduct on tho bench,

esteem. The regard thus expressed for
the retiring Judge Is shared by citizens
throughout the district In which he has
so faithfully served, and while they

ests. AT the end OF the four weeks the

all well known to the people. The Big
Four--Vail, llama, Viewer and Arm
strong -renominated by the republican
party, were all triumphantly re elected,
receiving the plaudits of well done
from an appreciatiye constituency.
They are all faithful and efficient men,
performing the peoples behests with
Jealous care, However, as we glance
down the vista Of 1889, we discern that
the people contemplate making changes
in the heads of certain departments
during the year.
