COMING JUDICIAL ELECTION.

What 1t Means to the People of Wis
consin.
The Supreme court of Wisconsin
has been oyercrowded with work for
years past and much court business
has been seriously delayed. Efforts
have been made to secure another
court, inferior to the Supreme court,
but with Jurisdiction to finally deter
mine certain classes of cases and thus
relieve the Supreme court Another
plan was to provide for two or three
additional judges for the Supreme
court itself, and thus avoid the crea-
ton of another court, with its attend
ant expense. 1t was clear something
must be done to meet the demands Of
state rapidly growing in population,
wealth and varied industries.
The legislature of 1899 and 1901, by
almost unanimous vote, caused an
amendment to the constitution to be
submitted to the people in November,
1902. The amendment provides for
two Additional supreme judges-one to
be elected in April. 1904, and the other
in April, 1905. So much for the his
tory of the legislation. Now what
happens? Hon. James c. Kerwin Of
Neenah, Winnebago county, was an
nounced as candidate for the place
to be filled in April Things began to
hustle just as soon as certain interests
discovered who Mr.. Kerwin is, and
what kind of an associate justice he
would likely make The review of
Mr.. Kerwin and his character did not
satisfy the great corporations. He had
not been brought up on the corpora
ton bottle nor fattened on the corpor-
alton OK.
Great questions are likely to be
brought before that court of final re
sort within the next few years. A
seat on the supreme bench practically
holds the occupant for lifetime. The
constitutionality of the primary cleo
ton law; the acts of a probable rail-
road commission; the probable acts of
coming legislatures, made in the peo-
Plies interests, the powers of tax COM
certain assessment and Ii
cense laws. ETC., ETC., must be cared
for during the next ten or fifteen
years, and they must be cared for
right.
The peoples eyes and ears must be
kept open. The people must guard
their own interests. In order to do
this they must know right and vote
right.
The Hon. James G. Kerwin is neither
for nor against the railroads. He is a
clean attorney with clean support. He
is non-partisan candidate, and he
should receive the votes of all right
minded citizens be they Democrats or
He is opposed by the railroads.

In the first opening OF Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor OF this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. Daring his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim. he encount-
cred much bad water, which, togeth-
er with the severe heat, gave him a
very severe diarrhoea which 1t
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day
one of his neighbers brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy as last hope. a big dose was
given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and ia few minutes the dose was
repeated The good effect OF the
medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was TAX

night That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for

The Mudns h.

One of the most remarkable Of fishes
Is the mudfish, which inhabits certain
Of the rivers Oh western Africa and, as
Its name implies. turks at the bottom
Of these rivers. In that region the riv-
ers are liable to periodical droughts.
When such drought Is imminent, the
fish retires to deep water and exca-
Yates a pit. in which Il lies, covering
itself over with thick layer OF mud.
1t can then bear with impunlty the
complete drying up Of the river. But
the most interesting fact about the
creature Is that during the time OF its
voluntary Imprisonment it breathes air
directly through an aperture left In
the cocoon by means of lungs just like
land animal. when the returning
rains dissolve the mud and liberate the
fish, it breathes by means Of gills. just
like any other fish.
