COMMON PLEAS COURT.

The county commissioners oi
Cherokee and Crawford counties
are expected to meet again at Col
mbus, in regard to Common Pleas
court proposition and to determine
IN regard to holding a special cleo
,iou. says the Pittsburg Tribune.
When the commissioners met in
Joint session at Columbus on Tues
day, Jan. 10. their meeting was pre-
mature. as the law had not gone in
10 effect. because II had not been
published in the official state pa
per when the commissioners held
their joint session.
The law is mandatory upon the
C ,n missioners to meet in joint ses'
sion, aud, as their meeting on the
tenth was not a compliance with
the law, il having then no force, be-
in devoid of publication and pro-
mitigation. they will have to come
together again to determine wheth'
er they will or will not call a spe-
cial election TO establish common
pleas court for the counties of Cher
okee and Crawford.
What the commissioners may or
der at this meeting is only to be
guessed at. They have the power
to call n special election, and they
may have changed their views on
the proposition since their meeting
and refusal 10 call a special cleo
ti0n.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold
or from an attack of la grippe.
During the epidemic of la grippe a
few years ago when so many cases
resulted in pneumonia, il was OBJ
served that the attack was never
followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's c Cough Remedy was
used. II counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe TO result in
that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle
warranted. For sale by Cooper

1T Is ILLEGAL.

Topeka, Jan. 1s.-Attorney Gener'
al A. A. GODDARD has prepared a de-
cision holding that the special ses'
sion called by Governor Leedy was
illegal, and all laws passed at that
session were void. He holds that a
special session of the Legislature is
legal only when necessitated by
some extraordinary state of affairs
and that there was no extraordin-
ary reason for Governor Leedy call
ing the Legislature together. Man
damus proceedings will now be in
stituted In the district court by
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Harvey
and the legality of the special
session tested. If the special ses-
sion is held to be legal in the lower
court It may not be appealed to the
supreme court, but If held to be ille-
gal the chances are that Il will be
taken TO the higher court.
