NOT INSOI VENT.
But the Big Superior Corporation Has
Shrunk

Jersey City, N. j., Jan. 5.-Applica-
ton was made Saturday before Chan
cellor McGill for a receiver FOR the
Land & River Improvement company,
of which Francis r. Weeks was the
former president The application
was denied, although it appeared from
the evidence that the assets of the
company had shruni from $17,000,000
in 1893, to about $4,000 900. In that
year Weeks defaulted Tor $500,000. The
proceedings were the result, of the
non7payment of notes for $4,000 due
the estate of the late Frederick K.
Billings, CT Woodstock VT, and from
tie .urther tact that the company has
not paid taxes, amounting TO 100000
on its property in Superior, Wis, in
two years. The petitioners figured the
amount of liabilities at $3,450,000. In
his ruling the chancellor said: 1T
seems to me that the remedy is for the
dissatisfied stockholders TO call a
meeting to determine what shall be
done. The company IS not insolvent
and therefore | cannot appoint re-
ceiyer,"

scnsIble suggestion.

Now that relief for this subdivision
In the matter of fourth Judge has
failed, what suggestion can be made to
catch up with the docketY We know
of onc-and we believe every person
who has watched the proceedings Of
court has noted the same point. 1t is
this: Less OF the neglect in being ready
for trial when cases are called. The
recent term OF court is but sample.
Judge Melhoru during that term sat In
his chair many and many hours with
not soul in the room except the court
constable, waiting for attorneys to
come on with cases for hearing. Why
wouldn't it be good scheme to start
right in on this practice for the "re-
lief" needed? Sentinel.
The above is very good substitute for
an additional Judge, which cannot be
supplied until the next session of the
Leg islature, we suppose. The dilatory
tactics of many lawyers is chiefly re-
sponsible for the small amount OF busi-
ness actually performed in the Common
Pleas court.

The bill making the Commissioners a
salaried Office failed of passage in the
House. and hence the Commissioners
will continue doing business in the same
old way. The JOURNAL is OF the belief
that the passage OF the bill would have
been of general good and its benefits
would have been for reaching, and its
failure OF passage is no indication that
it was not a useful measure.

For every quarter In a mans pocket
there are dozen uses; and to use each
one in such u way as to derive the
greatest benefit is question every one
must solve for himself. We believe,

exchange 1t for bottle of Chamber

The biograph is immensely popular.
It's manifest superiority to all other
machines for the display of moving
pictures is apparent When one sees
the Empire State express rushing along
sixty miles an hour, or Niagara Falls
plunging and waving, it is realized that
this is the very perfection of intense
realism. Other views that are also
strikingly real show Joe Jefferson pro-
nouncing his famous toast in Rip Van
Wrinkle, President ELECT Mckinley on
his lawn at Canton, the New York fire
department in action, and a pickan-
niny's bath. A very fine specially
show is also given, those who contrib
ute being Miss Jessie Miller, Dixon,
Bowers and Dixon, Mr.. Nelson and Miss
