SKETCH OF NEW JUDGE,

Judge Kelly is 3S years of age and
has been lawyer seventeen years. He
was born in Olyphant, Jan. 20, 1852,
and received his early education in the
local public school. He later entered
the Scranton high school, and in 1879,
at the age of II, graduated with vale
dictory honors.
That same year ne entered the Jaw
office Of A. II. Winton and joan y.
Ceilings, and after four years study
was admitted to the La2kawanna bar
and shortly after his admittance was
appointed assistant district attorney
under the lamented Hon. John f. Con.
molly. At the expiration of the latter's
term he practiced law individually till
1887, when he formed a partnership
with Joseph OBrien, under the firm
name of O'Brien &c Kelly. The firm
was dissolved in 1892, when Mr.. Kelly
was elected district attorney on the
Democratic ticket, but was reformed
at the close of his term. IN 1883 he
was elected to the legislature from the
strongly Republican First district, and
fathered a number CT important meas
ures, among them the statute regulat-
ing election contests, which provides
that the Office shall be assumed, pend
ing the contest, by the party, who on
the face of the returns, has the greater
number of votes. Previous to the en-
actment of this law, the old incum-
bents held over till the contest was de-
cided.
Mr. Kelly was married IN 1892 to Miss
Teresa r. Brainard, daughter of the
late Daniel b. Brainerd.

Spring Fever

During the winter extra work is thrown
upon the various organs of the body. Spring
makes this manifest. The appetite becomes
poor, sleep restless, bowels eonstipated
sometimes there is dyspepsia, liver or kidney
troubles. Life seems not worth living. This is
the time to take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
IL is better than any other spring tonic in the
world. It refreshes, strngthens, rebuilds. A
Private Revenue stamp covers the neck Of
the bottle.
