Circuit Court.

The Circuit Court finished the September
records we find that very large amount OF
business has been transacted. In years
past we have heard complaint of the length
of time taken to close up litigation when
plant is now heard, but litigants can have
their matters promptly attended to. This
is no small matter either, as it saves money
both to the tax payer and the litigants.
During the term just closed Judge Smith
has disposed of 90 criminal cases; IL issues
OF fact; law case; Importance; 4 petitions
and 20 cbancery case, besides several
motions that are not in the above. 1t Is a
large record, and it now looks as though
the next term would be comparatively brief.
The following cases have been heard since
our last report:
WIN. Drebenstedt. arraigued on the charge
of violating the liquor law, plead not guilty,
and gave bonds for his appearance at the

Gorman's Return to Power.

From the Grand Rapids Herald.
While the election In New York City YVES
. triumph OF decency and purity in politics,
that In Maryland was quite the reverse.
Arthur Pue German Is without doubt an
able man-so is Richard Croker. German
Is the more subtle, Croker the more gross.
Bat at bottom both are actuated by the
same purposes, and both resort to equally
disrepntable means Of bringing about sue
cess. New York has, temporarily at leas',
gotten rid of Croker. But the Mary land
election, held on the same day, will probably
result in returning German to the Unite
States senate.
German has again triumphed after pro-
tracted and complicated struggle. His first
move, undertaken some time ago, was an
attempt to disfranchise the colored voters
of the state. In this he only partially sue
ceeded. His next step was to secure the
adoption of q co IMPLICATED ballot in the hope
of winning the election by reason Of II g
large number Of defective ballots which the
colored voters would be entrapped into
casting. How we'll this last fraudulent
scheme has succeeded is shown by late re-
turns from Maryland. In Calvert county
2, 100 out of $500 registered vo.ers cast
their ballots. Of these AGO democrats and
$40 republicans were counter, and 500 bal
lots, nearly all republican, were thrown cut.
In st. Mary's county 900 republican votes
were thr )wn out, and in Prince Georges
]. $50 went overheard, 1000 of which were
republican.
Whether the senate will allow Gormap to
reap the res ults of these gross election
frauds remains to be seen. Bot to defeat
the will of the people in this way seems, at
this distance, tUbe as fl igraBt perversion
OF the principles of Justice as the bribery
exposed Ia Montana In the case of Senator
Clark. or the two methods Clark is the
more cOmmendable, because 1t is the more
easily exposed on account of its very gross
ness. But the elaborate and deep laid
schemes by which German finally &C
cOmplshes his ends are more difficult to
subvert. He has built up around himself a
complex machine, to manipulate which he
has called IN all the political rogues who
can be bribei by promise OF political pre-
ferment, German does not allow his fol-
lowers to openly violate the law. Instead,

HESSIAN FLY Is BUSY
Bringing Down the Production of
Michigan Wheat.

The Michigan crop report for Novem-
Der. issued by Secretary of State War.
ner today, says that while the weather
of the past month has been admirable
for securing corn, potatoes and sugar
beets, in many localities it has been too
dry for wheat, which has been enabled
to make but small growth. The con-
ditions have been somewhat favorable
to the Hessian fly, but the damage done
has not been so great as in former years
because of the late sowing that has been
generally practiced this year.
The condition of wheat, as compared
with an average, is "a for the State.
Wheat was sown later than ever this
year, some farmers continuing to SOW
up to November /. Much of this wheat
is not yet up, and what The outcome
will be is problematical. 1t will
probably evade the fly, but may be de-
stroyed by weather conditions during
the winter. Correspondents report
that early sown wheat is full of fly.
The acreage sown is less than in former
years. In many cases rye was sub
stituted. In one way this would indi-
cate short crop, yet it is common
opinion that what is sown was put on.
better land, more carefully prep2f~
so that the total yield for the stataSs4
not be materially reduced.
The estimated average yield of corn
is 81 bushels shelled per acre for the
State. The crop has ripened we'll and
the quality is. therefore, good.
This years potato crop is not up to
the average In some places it was
badly damaged by drouth, and in others
by beetles. However, good crops have
been grown in some counties where the
drought was the worst, thus demon
strating that some farmers can grow
good crops of potatoes when they are
planted on good land and cultivated
properly. even if the weather is I'M
favorable. The acreage of clover seed
harvested is 90 per cent of the average,
the average yield being 16O bushels
per acre.
Considerable hog cholera and dis
temper among horses is reported. The
average condition of horses and sheep
is 80 and of cattle and swine 81.

A hearty appetite does not always indl-
cate healthy condition. 1t Is not the
quantity of food which is eaten but the
quantity which is assimila;ed, which de-
termines tie actual value of the food con-
sumed. If the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition cannot convert the
food into nOurshment, and into blood then
the food is an injury instead of benefit.
For all disorders OF the stomach and its
allied organs Of digestion and nutrition,
there Is certain remedy in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t removes
clogging distractions. 1t strengthens the

A Great Stateman's Secret.

The seer OF a celebrated statesman's
long life was his systematic way of eating.
Every bite of food was chewed thirty times
before swallowing. The result was he
naturally enjoyed good health. Most men
and women bolt thei food, and eat things
which we're never Intended to be eaten
They become costive, have a bad COM
plexion, lose flesh, and are irritable and
nervous, and the fl st thing they know they
are 'played out" 1t is gratifying to know
that HOstetter's Stomach Bitters cures
stomach troubles. 1t is purely vegetable
medicine that has stood the test of fifty
years. 1t cures cases which seem to be
hopeless. Sufferers from any disorder OF
stomach, liver or bowels sho try 1t.

Great difficulty is experienced in clear

No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
