Justice, was quoted by a witness as
having, in a conversation in 1898 named
George A. Yuille and the directorso of the
West Chicago Street Railway COM
pany as the men behind him. and hav-
ing denied all connection with the law
yers.
John T. Smith. claim agent for the
Grand Trunk and for the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroads, was the wit
ness.
Smith testified that in 1898, while de-
Tending a case against the Grand Trunk
he encountered Bailiff Lynch in the
office of Samuel A. Lynde, the com
pany's counsel. The witness testified
in effect that Lynch proposed to fix"
the jury in the case for $50. and that
Smith said the bailiff had better talk
with Lawyer Lynde about it, where
upon Lynch replied that he never did
business with attorneys, as he had ex
perience with one once that taught him
better.
The witness stated further that
Lynch had told him that he was do
ing business for the West Chicago
Street Railway company; that he rep
resented Mr.. Yuille and the directors;
that the lawyers trying the cases We're
suckers; that they thought they were
winning the cases, but that really he
was doing it. and that he was the
thirteenth juror. This statment of
the conversation alleged was read to
the witness by Sullivan's counsel and
the witness replied that it was in sub
stance correct.
Later Lynch was called to the stand
and practically the same questions were
put to him. when he replied:
mo. never said that, nor any part
of 1t and never saw this man in my.
life till saw him today in court"
Counsel for the state asked the wit
ness Smith why he failed to go to the.
states attorney when approached with
such vile proposition for crime"
Mr.. Smiths answer was: If At
torney Lynde had caught him, too,
would have come, but it was only my
word against his"

ROBERTS WILL HOLD OVER.
Under New Law His Term Does
Not Expire Till August.

Under law passed by. the last legis-
lature, county school superintendent
elected in future will take charge Of their
offices in August instead of January, as
all other county officers do. Superin-
tendent of Schools Roberts is the first
beneficiary under the act and will hold
his office until August.
There can be no doubt that the law
providing that the term OF office of
county school superintendent shall be
continuous with the school and fiscal
year is a wise one.
Heretofore the new officer has taken
charge of his county schools at time
when knowledge in detail of his schools,
teachers, school officers, supplies.
records and reports, is most valuable to
the pubis service, but which he could
not secure except by much study in the
Office. He found the schools all in SEES
sion, and sending in reports requiring
closest scrutiny. Complicated questions
were presented for his solution. 1t was
at such a time that the tramp teacher
and the fake supply agent most readily
prOspered.
In August be made to the state his
annual report, at least one-half of which
be could not verify
Under the law as amended, he finds a
school and fiscal year just closed with
it's reports made and filed away. He
has a month to study the work and re-
quirements Of. his office before the schools
open and his superintendent begins. He
has only himself to blame or praise for
the failure or success of his plans and
cOunsels for the year.
1t is evident that the date Of assum-
ing office could not be changed without
either lengthening or shortening, in
effect, one term OF Office. If the amend
ment stands, officers-elect cannot assume
duties until August and the old officers
will hold over until their successors are
qualified according to law.

The Vineland record for 1900 is worth
reading. More than 10000 fruit trees
have been set this fall and the local
nurserymen could not fill all orders,
many of which had to go over until
spring. Over 100000 has been put in
to building improvements, including
something over $4,000 in new resi-
dences. Their are now five schools in
session under skilled instructors. Church
organizations having their own houses
of worship in Vineland now include the
Methodist, Christian, Presbyterian and
Advent, and the Episcopalians are erect
ing an attractive structure in the Span
ish style of architecture. Although
Vineland, including Charleston, is only
four years old, yet it already has as
much population as Lewiston had when
it's settlement began.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets lnfamed you have rumbl1ng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
lnhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
