DIVORCE BY DEFAULT.
Judge Kelly Expresses C0nvic-
ton in the Stebbins Case.

Judge Kelly went on record yester-
day in favor of encouraging answers
IN divorce suits. It is the judges opin-
ion that there are too many divorces
obtained by default in this community.
His honor's views on the question are
expressed in a memorandum accom-
panying an order in the divorce suit
Of Annie F. Stebbins against Henry
B. Stebbins
The defendant applied to the court
for an order modifying the order of
Dec II, 1896, by reducing the amount
of money he is required to pay Mrs.
Stebbins during the tendency of the
action. The defendant also asked
leave to serve an answer The court
denies the motion to modify the orig
lnal order, but gives the defendant
leave to serve an answer forthwith.
In his memorandum Judge Kelly saws:
AS to permitting answers. while it
would be no abuse of discretion to
deny the privilege, I think answers
In divorce suits should be allowed.
There are too many defaults in these
cases to be wholesome to the body
pClitic.'

Judge Willis Makes Pretty Speech
From the Bench.

From the Bench.
The general term of the district court
opened yesterday forenoon in court
room No. l. Judge Willis presided.
Seated beside him were Judge Bum
and Judge Lewis. The court room
was crowded with members of the bar.
Sheriff Wagner was present in person
to formally declare the court opened.
Judge Willis then arose and made the
following brief address:
Gentlemen of the Bar: Allow me to wish
you all a happy New Year. May the noble
labors and may your efforts be, in all re-
spects, conducive to the due administration
of justice.
The opening of this year is rendered happier
to both bench and bar by the advent among
the judges of Hon. DIN B. Lewis and Hon.
George L. Bum, whom it is now my priv
ilege and great satisfaction to present. Their
high capacity, shown in so many of the
varied relations of life, gives assurance that
their judicial career will be, in all respects,
will unite with me in wishing to Judge
Lewis and Judge Bum happy New Year.
Judge Willis then called the calendar

VIII Assist the Committee From the
Council.

Corporation Attorney Darragh, who
returned to the city yesterday after
several days absence, says that he is
only too willing that the common
council should investigate the matter
of the disagreement between his office
and the police department.
Now that matters have gone thus
far and resolution has been sent out
lntlmating that there is something
wrong in the conduct of my office, I
shall insist that the council appoint the
committee and that 1T act. This talk
that l will not be in office long should
not deter the members Of the council
from ordering the investigation to pro-
coed. They will have time to finish it
before my term expires and that should
be sufficient. If I have been doing any
thing wrong it is no more than right
that the people should be made aware
of the fact"
Everybody is still waiting for Presi-
dent Arosin, of the assembly, to ap-
point the assembly's portion Of the
joint committee.

FLY COPS NUMBERED
Harmless YOunth, Per-
hitting Criminals to EscRDe

The prisoner who was locked up at the
central police station New Years night with
out being booked and subsequently kept in
close confinement, broken only by frequent
interviews with the authorities, was ar
raigned in the police court yesterday under
the name of John Shelley, charged with
Vagrancy 1t is claimed the young man was
arrested on account Of certain information
which he was thought to possess concerning
the whereabouts of a quantity Of property
stolen from a small town in the southern
part of the state, and previous to his being
taken into custody plans were in operation
whereby the local police expected to turn
up the plant" but through a misunder-
standing the game was flushed too soon and
while at the station Shelley denied knowledge
of the stolen property SO successfully that the
expected tip failed to materiaIze. In the
meantime, it is said. the read guilty parties
learned that the police were next and re-
moved the goods. There was considerable
chagrin in police circles over the turn af-
fairs had taken, but there was no evidence
to show Shelley guilty of any offense and so
ne was simply charged with vagrancy and
allowed his liberty upon a promise to leave
the city.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the

all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
| Gle, which is manufactured by the Cab
| fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
