LAWYERS LOUD PLAINT.

Several Lawyers Protest Because of the
Way Cases are Assigned
Several lawyers made protest in
open court today because the assignment
Of civil cases by Judge Hazen. Of the dis
.rict court, they say, doesn't give suffi-
cient notice of the time set for hearing
their cases.
1t Is customary for Judge Hazen to 90
over the civil docket and set a mum Der
Of cases for each day. from one to a
dozen, according to the nature Of the
controversy This assignment IS made
but one or two weeks in advance.
The assignment is pasted on the inside
Of the door to the court room, and law
yers are expected to consult it and there
by know when the cases in which they
are Interested are set for trial
Today T II. Balm and Henry Keeler
found that cases in which they were in
volved had been decided unfavOrably
because they were not there to contest
them They said it wasn't the first time
il had occurred, and they thought there
should be some other way Of notifying
the lawyers than a typewritten slip
pasted on the door. They said also
sufficiently definite. Judge Hazen
replied that the assignment was
posted in such a place that the lawyers
had to pass it every time they entered or
left the court room and that II should be
their business TO consult 1t if they wanted
to protect their clients interests. He
cautioned all the lawyers to be more
careful hereafter. The matter of giving
the cases in question a rehearing was
taken under advisement Later in the day
II. c. Root discovered that he allowed one
of his cases 90 by default, for the same
cause.
1t is a great satisfaction to the public
to know that the lawyers have to be
punctual once in awhile. Nobody ever
heard Of a lawyer being ready on time5
bDt the poor witnesses are yanked away
from their business and kept sitting in
the court room for hours, and even days.
by the delays of lawyers Judge Hazen
is all right.

Momnn,s Createst Enamy.

Laura McHenry, in the Ladies
Home /oarDal, says:
The headache par eresllencs, or
rather al H1ifHm, among women is
the "sick headache" and by that /
find is meant q headache which is
attended in any stage Of its action
by a nausea, which increases until
vomiting ensues, when the patients
skin becomes naturally moist
again.
And yet every woman can lessen
the number and frequency of her
headaches by assisting nature by
natural means. The Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated
from the natural waters of Carls-
bad, taken early in the morning
before breakfast, and if necessary
1t bedtime (about half teaspoon
full dissolved in a tumblerful Of
water), will supply these means.
1t is an Alternative and elimina-
tive remedy, which dissolves tena-
cious bile, allays irritation, and re-
moves distractions by aiding
nature, and not by sudden and ex-
cessive irritation, as most cathar-
tics do. 1t is of great benefit in
temporary and habitual constipa-
ton, liver and kidney diseases,
chronic catarrh of the stomach and
bowels, rheumatism and gout, ETC.,

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Cheering Reports OF Industries That Are
Once More Active.

Outt Ahhfc AEtiNts
NEW YORK, Jan IL 3--Dunn's Weekly
Review, published today, says OF the state
Of trade: Business has distinctly improved
since the new year came, and the gain is no
longer visible only in speculative markets.
It is the only kind OF improvement that
has in il possibilities Of lasting, because it
is based upon actual increase In the pro-
duction by industries. AS all rejoice to
see It, there is perhaps a little disposition
TO reckon the gain greater than it is as yet
but several large establishments have start
ed with part force, hoping TO increase, and
more smaller works have started than have
stopped.
Orders from dealers whose stocks ap-
proach exhaustion form aprominent cause.
Another is the widely prevalent impression
that action at Washington will be more
satisfactory than many have expected, and
belief that in any case the situation will
not be changed until goods now in the
works can be marketed has weight in some
trades. Whatever the causes, even mod
srate gain is most cheering.
The output of pig iron Jan. is reckoned
by The Iron Age 990S7 tons weekly, which
is slightly less than on Dec. /, though the
Pittsburg authority makes it little larger.
