Judge Gest Lectures Citizens on Aversion
jury Duty.
1t is amusing to hear the excuses
offered by those wishing to escape
jury service in the circuit court.
Judge Gest lectured the panel report
ing yesterday afternoon, deploring
the aversion manifested by citizens to
performing duties imposed by the court
ut former terms, and said he did not
propose eXcusing any man unless he
could give more valid reason than
important business engagements or
need of his presence at his store or in
the workshop, the excuses ordinarily
offered. The result was that but three
Of the 27 who reported yesterday were
let off. Two on these said they could
not read nor write the. English Ian
guage, and the other was so deaf that
he would not be able to hear the testi-
mony of witnesses. Here were some
of the excuses offered:
''Oh, judge, I'm too easy" said one
young man. Don't believe l could do
the right thing" and the attorneys
and spectators snickered so loud that
the sheriff had to rap for order.
1t is the busy time of year for me,
your honor, and as | have no compe-
tent help, my business would suffer
through my being away"
Are you the only one in the store?''
asked the court.
NO, sir. There are clerks there,
but they do not understand the bust
ness as well as l do"
Il am foreman at the --- factory,
and am the only one who has the
full run. of the work in hand. 1t is
our busiest season.
Il employ Is men," said the next,
and with me away it Will be neces-
sary, l am afraid, to close the shop.
You see the men look to me for all
their instructions, and | have no one
there who is qualified to carry on the
business for me-
Il am foreman at the -- freight
house in Moline" said an old gentle
man with gray beard. There is no
one there who thoroughly under
stands the work but me"
There are other people employed
there?" inquired the court.
The old gentleman had to admit
there were.
Several in the line presented their
excuses in writing. But the court did
not think they were of sufficient
weight to allow them to go.
One of the men excused on account
of not being able to read or write the
English language, said he had been in
this country 20 years. His home is in
Moline. The second man excused for
the same reason is resident of the
upper end of the county.

Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma-
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when lnis
remedy is given. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently to baby as
to an adult. 1t is also pleasant to
take. When all of these facts are
taken into consideration it is not SUR
prising that people in foreign lands,
as well as at home, esteem this rem
edy very highly, and very few are
willing to take any other after hav-
ing once used it. For sale by all
druggists.
