We are in receipt Of a letter from
Judge Benton in which he says ther,
will be no fall term Of court for the
reason that he believes public interests
will he best subscrved by not doing so.
The Judge MAY think he is doing
what is for the best interests If the
county, and there is no occasion for
Incorporate remarks in opposing his
position il he is acting conscienciously
in the matter. But we believe the
Judge has made mistake and is not
fully advised as To the accumulation Of
business and the importance Of cases
awaiting trial. Little if anything was
accomplished at the last term Of court
and this makes the necessity for fall
term still greater. There Is liable To be
an accumulation of business that never
can he disposed Of if matters continue
as they have.
The constitution provides for four
terms of court a yea in each county
and says they must he held. We can
not see how judge has any discretion
in the matter. Possibly in this instance
it is because the organic law is not
enforced by legislative enactment. No
penalty is attached, as yet, for failure
to comply with the constitution. We
should hate to think, however, that

Enough precincts have been heard
from in this county to insure the cleo
ton of Mr.. Baylies by good majority.
The Democratic strongbolds have been
heard from and Mr.. Baylies leads his
opponent by "a votes. Nearly all the
precincts to hear from are strongly
Republican, and the majority of them
are located in the woolgrowing sections
of the county, where Mr.. Meadow will
get very light vote.
Mr.. Carter will have majority Of
go in the county. He already leads
Dixon by I29, with only eight precints
heard from.
Nothing, of course, is known here
as to the result i'm the state at the hour
of going to press. We believe, how
ever Carter is elected by handsome
majority.

Judge Benton was taking advantage Of
this point.
1t was under the provisions of the
constitution that the district clerk and
the sheriff proceeded to prepare for
court, having received no notification
from the Judge that court would not
be held, hence no blame can attach to
them.

Saturday afternoon, about five o.
clock, our community was shocked 10y
the report that Dana NJ Brown, one OF
our well-known citizeus, had commit
ted suicide, at his residence in the
southern part OF the city. On investi-
CATION, the rumor was found to be too
true, and the friends who but few
hours hetore had seen him apparently
in his usual robust health and animal
ed spirits, realized how narrow a line
separates JOY and misery, happiness
and despair, life and death. 1t will be
remembered that, several years ago,
Mr. Brown had the misfortune to kill
a man while acting as 4 policeman OF
this city, and this act seems to have
him into designations that probably
he would never otherwise INDUCED
He was true friend, kind neigh
Dor, and a good citizen, despite the
misfortune that has impaired his repu-
tation in the estimation OF those who
were but partially acquainted with
his sterling virtues. The fatal act
was committed by pistol shot in
the head, and his death must have
been almost instantaneous. He
leaves wife and two brothers to
mourn his loss, but no children. The
Coroner's inquest, held on Monday is

an odd fall once in a while helps to
keep the ground white. The roads

Mr.. Ashton, who has been here the
past five months has been called to
bury three of his children during the
past month. The third child, girl of
thirteen years, was laid to rest yester-
day. Tie mother, an infant girl and
two other children are still towering
between life and death with that dread
disease, typhoid fever.
Hen roosts have been robbed lately
and Mr.. James Alfred, who has been
one of the sufferers, fixed his coop for
the intruder by hanging beaver trap
inside so as to catch the arm that was
put through. When he got up next
morning there was the thief with his
arm fast in the spring trap. James
loosencd him and let him go, thinking
the punishment of standing out all
night in the bitter cold and his arm
tight in trap was sufficient punish
ment for him.
The Chicago Comedy Company per-
formed here three nights last week,
also gave matinee on Saturday for
children, which was well appreciated
by the small people. The weather was
so very cold that the attendance was
not so large as it ought to have been
and the opera house was insufficiently
heated, but IN spite of all these draw
backs the performance each night was
excellent. Miss Belle Inman acts well
her parts, and the little actress not
two years old, Miss Annie Devlin,
amused the audience on the stage.
We hope to see the Chicago Comedy
Company visit Centralia again ere
long and we can assure them hearty
greeting.
