rrr ,AwyEps THANK THE JUDGE.

At the conclusion, last week, of
3, term of the Circuit Criminal
Court Of Robson county, the bar
held meeting and adopted reso-
ldtions declaring "That by his
impartial rulings and courteous
treatment, Hon. Thomas H. SUIT
ton, judge of the Circuit Criminal
Court, is entitled: to a public ex-
preston of thanks from all per-
sons who have in any capacity
been before him, and the same are
hereby rendered him! Ia the
first pisce the cefridts who had
been sentenced by Judge Sutton
at this term of the court to the
ptnitentiary or the roads had GER
tainly "been before him" in a
certain capacity" and it is not
TO be believed that they feel him
entitled to any thanks from them.
II was wrong to comnspt them to
this resolution in, theirs ahsef1ce !;
bit npart frem this, why formal
thkhkS tas.jIdses.bys a" meeting
of the bar, for the'pfepsr perfor-
nance of his sworn duties?- 1t liz
supposed, when he is elected or
appointed, that he is capable of
the proper discharge of the func-
tons of his office and he is paid
for it besides. MoreoverTif Judge
SrHon.is not tfiaHketbby another
hks rnfeetlng at the conclusion of
the next term of Robson Court,
he will have right to feel that
he has not given satisfaction, or
if the lawyers of all the other
counties of his circuit do. not
thank him after he has held their
courts he may feel either that he
las not done as well in them as
he did in Robson or that their
bars do not appreciate him. And
yet again, if the judge who holds
the next term of Robson Superior
Court is not thanked, as Judge
Sutton has beer, he viii doubtless
feel that a bridge has been made
of his nose.
This custom of lawyers thank.
ing judges ought to become gen
eral or it ought not become a Gus
tom at all. We are not filing al
exception in this case because tn,
judge thanked happens to be ,
Republican. We did it in TIN
first instance of the kind in tn
State that ever came to our MOTTO
and III that instance the judge wa

Sutton has held the scales of jus

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent

FROM our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, September II, 1897.
President Mckinley has done a big
weeks work since his return to Wash
ington. In addition to clearing his
desk OF the routine business that ac-
cumulated during his absence, he
has, with the assistance of his cabi-
net, settled a number of appoint
ments. And he has accomplished all
this when his time was largely taken
up with consultations with promi-
nent Republicans, the largest delega-
tions being from the South, about
the federal patronage in a number of
states. He also had an extended
conference with Consul General Lee
and talked over everything that
gentleman learned during his stay in
Cuba, but, notwithstanding publica-
tions to the contrary, he has not
been making any preparations for war
with Spain, simply because he has no
idea that any such preparations are
or will become necessary.
No man in this or any other coun-
try has a bigger heart than Secretary
Russell A. Alger. When the president
and cabinet were discussing the I'M
doubted necessity of sending large
quantities OF provisions into the
Alaska gold regions to prevent star
walton among the thousands of
Americans who will be there this
winter, and regrettlng that there was
no public fund which could be drawn
upon for such a purpose, Secretary
Alger solved the problem by announc-
ing that he would send provisions
and pay all expenses out of his own
pocket, trusting to congress to see
that he was repaid. He believes it
possible to keep the trail into the
Klondike open all winter, and he pur-
poses to endeavor to have his ideas
carried out. The cabinet decided to
send 100 United States soldiers to
Alaska, to help preserve order.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition Of the Kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fultills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scaldlng pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times in tee night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized IT
stands the highest for it's wond .erfu!
cures of the most distressing cases. II
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price Fl fly
cents and one dollar. You may have
a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention The

paper guarantee the genuineness OF
this offer.

The latest swindler to put in an
appearance in the rural districts is
the piano man. He works as follows:
The agent goes to the farm house
and asks permission to leave his
piano there. He even goes so far as
to pay rent while it is stored with
the farmer. The family is permitted
to use the instrument, and the only
thing the agent requires is that the
farmer speak a good word for the in
strument to his neighbor. OF course
all this is easily agreed to. Then the
agent takes receipt for the piano,
and that is what does mischief, as it
afterwards turns out to be note for
$4OO. AS the piano is worth about
$3.50, the buyer is out $3.50. Do not
allow yourself to do business of any
kind with this individual, no matter
what song he sings Men with honest
intentions are not running around
the country beseeching strangers to
take their piano in store.-Madison
Democrat.

good sort of man. For years past
lie has aspired to u political office.
In 1894 when the Republicans made
the mistake of nominating "Blunder-
ing Billy" Upham, Duke of Marshfield,
for gubernatorial honors, Mr.. Mona
han had a kite out for the lightning,
but unlike ben" Franklin be failed
to connect with the electricity and
went back to Darlington, where he
has lived quietly ever since.
When, however, Major William Nc
Kinley went down to Washington to
"boss" the government works, Mona
han began to look around for a place
and he found one which be conoidered
would pretty well fit his talents and
taste. 1t was the collectorship for
the Western district of Wisconsin and
strange to say he was about the only
candidate for the place. Every body
endorsed his application and it
looked for a while as if he had pretty
plain sailing and everyone had been
expecting pretty soon an announce
ment that he would receive the ap-
pointment as soon as Collector Blum
enfeld's term at Waterfowl expired.
But now comes a new story and
one which bears worthy names behind
it TO give it yerification. Mr. Blum
enfield was one of those Democratic
party traitors, who chung to Cuckoo
Bill Villas skirts in the late unpIeas-
antness known as the campaign of
1896, and stood under the folds OF
the ''gold bug" banner. Now the tale
is that he is to be rewarded by being
allowed to hang onto the Madison
internal revenue office for a couple
of years TO come, while Mr.. Monahan
continues to pen editorials eulogizing
Mckinley in his paper. 1t is said Mr..
Villas has got all this fixed up with
John G. Spooner and that it has been
agreed between these two worthless
that this shall be the sop which shall
be thrown to the gold bug" demo
Gratis in Wisconsin. 1t might be said
for Mr. Villas information that Editor
Niemanahas not got a job yet and
that he will be liable to kick over the
traces if any gold bug is recognized
and he is still allowed to remain with
out an overcoat. Cuckoo Villas and
Senator Spooner are now on trip
to the National park in the valley
OF the Yellowstone. They are very
"chummy," it is said, and Spooner
agreed to fix the matter for Blumen-
field for Villas. Blumenfeld's term
expires within a month, but Mona
han 5 will not begin soon.-Milwaukee

The appointment of E. D. Coe, of
Whitewater, as state pension agent
was announced by the president
last week. It is safe to say there will
not be a single kick over this from
any source. Mr.. Coe has we'll earned
his reward, and as he is a gentleman
without an enemy his appointment
is not only well merited but very pop
ular. We are sure he will fill the
place with credit to himself and his
country. lie has never been found
wanting yet-whether in the home
circle, in transactions as a neighbor
and friend, in Drawing the perils Of
war, in craftsmanship, in educational
matters, or in editing an ideal coun-
try weekly. The newspaper frater
nifty to man will especially rejoice
over this fine recognition of a worthy
fellow.

GREELeY'S NEW BOOTS.
When He Split One. He Bargained For an
Old Pair Of stogies.

These stories of Horace Greeley are told
by DIR. Henry Raymond Rogers OF Dun
kirk, ". Y. The first was told TO DIR.
Rogers many years ago by the late w. l..
Carpenter of Dunkirk. and the other is a
personal recollection of Mr.. Greeley by
DR.. Rogers himself:
william Il. Carpenter was an intimate
friend of Mr.. Greeley" said DIR. Rogers
"and had worked with him in a newspa-
per Office in Fredonia. The two friends
we're tramping in the center of New York
state, looking for work While feeling
somewhat discouraged they were one day
standing on "a bridge, quite uncertain as
To what steps 10 take next Mr. Carpen-
ter.took a cent from his pocket, and, toss
ing il up with his thumb and finger, said,
Heads, go east; tails, l go west The
cent fell tails up, and Mr.. Carpenter start
ed west landing In Dunkirk, where he
spent the remainder of his life in newspa-
per work and was prosperous TO the extent
Of establishing a pleasant home, in mu-
nicipal affairs and the politics of the dis
trict, and always standing high in the es-
teem of the people. Greeley's cent fell
upon the bridge head up, and he wrnt
east 10 Albany, where he at once started
upon his upward career.
II met Horace Greeley for the first
time" continued DR. Rogers, "when 1
was living in Gardiner, Me-, and can
vouch for the truth of the following incl
dent Of this visit of Mr.. Greeley TO Maine:
He was upon lecture tour, and before
his departure from New York had pur-
chased pair of fine, fashionably made
boots TO replace the heavy stogies that he
usually wore The New York Herald had
mentioned the fact as a notable circum-
stance Mr. Greeley lectured In Bangor
lnd started to Augusta, TO miles distant,
oy stage An accident occurred on the
way and the stagecoach was capsized.
SIR Greeley escaped unharmed personally,
but one Of his stylish boots was torn open
IN one side He looked ut the torn boot
,hen glancing around at the feet OF the
Dystanders, he noticed country fellow
who had just come from barnyard and
whose coarse cowhide boots, disfigured as
hey were by bdrnyard stains, seemed 10
Mr.. Greeley 10 be about the right size for
him He at once struck a bargain with
the countryman, giving him enough mon
ey in addition TO the new boots to buy an
other pair suitable for his work, and imme-
diately drew upon his own feet the heavy
soiled footgear that he had purchased.
II was sent as committee of one by a
debating society in Gardiner TO SEQ Mr..
Greeley and secure him to address a Gar
diner audience When | saw MIR. Greeley,
he was wearing the same boots, which still
showed on their dingy surface traces of
their previous acquaintance with the barn
yard He had his trousers tucked into the
tops of the boots. My mission was success

Housekeeping Abroad.

American housekecpers struggling with
refractory maids may well listen with envy
to the tale of some countrymen in France,
says the Chicago News.
This family has servant whom II calls
its jewel. She gets IS a month, and this
Is what she does for that sum: From q to
8 a. IN. she cleans the drawing and dining
rooms and has her own little break fast of
tea and bread Then she carries up hot
water TO the bedrooms, serves coffee and
rolls In bed and departs TO market, where
she buys all the provisions for the day.
She returns by 10 and does the two bed
rooms, and at noon serves n luncheon in
dainty manner. In the afternoon she does
"a little sewing for the family, serves tea
and prepares dinner, which is n course
meal. In the evening she reads the paper
and retres when the family does. She
has no company, speaks French, Italian,
German and English. She has her own
bottle Of winc which lasts two days and
costs her employers cents. They lock
up nothing, and she never SO much as
touches hairpin.
On the continent it is tho custom to eat
bakers bread, which is very good. Wash
ing is never done at home, and thus two
dreaded days-baking and washing days
are escaped The washing costs about
third the price paid in this country. In
France and Italy Sunday meals are served
mt the same time as during the week,
lunch at neon and dinner mt z. Servants
have tho hours from l to . only for them
selves on Sundays and holidays
In England general servant can be
had for S75 u year, II cook from 800 up.
All the servants expect beer money, and
each has his own line of work. which he
will not overstep. A cook would not
dream of doing bedroom work or foot
man of taking the buffers place. Those

ants OF southern Europe excel those of any

Arriving, i sent up my name and heard
presently n rather heavy step in the ad-
joining room, and there stood in the door
way the most un English looking man |

had "a high and domCd forehead yet his
