CRIMINAL COURT OF RECORD
ADJOURNED THIS MORN.
ING
WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
List of Convictions and Fine i'm Each
Case-It Is Self Sustain
ing

Inc nISt tcIIu VI the CIlluIudi court
Of record for Suwannee county, Of
ficially designated as the June term
adjourned this morning.
Several cases were disposed of on
pleas of guilty before the regular
sittings of the court. The regular
session for the term convened June
10th, and actual trial work was begun
on the 18th and ten days hard work
was put in during this session.
Quite a number have been asking
would the new court be self sustain
ing or would it be burden on the
tax payers of the county. With a
view to answering this question the
Democrat reporter has been doing
some figuring on his own account and
keeping an eye open to what was
accomplished so that at the adjourn
ing Of court some facts and figures
might be given out to the public on
which they might base their opinion.
We give these facts below:
The docket for the June term con-
tanned 40 cases, not including those
mol pressed for duplicate informa-
tons to be fled, eliminating some
technical error. Out of 40 cases,
II we're continued to next term be-
cause Of most of them having been
dled during this session and it being
impracticable for the solicitor to work
up the evidence and try the case as
II should be during the time he was
occupied In the trial of those ready
for trial. Twenty-one convictions
we're secured and only ten acquittals.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated

American Idealism.

Since my first arrival in America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the Hottest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight OF the
keenest statesmen and thinkers Of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, In
Forum.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape Of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on it's back, or rests on the
back of it's head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head is developed. But if the medium
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on it's head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back is weakened
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after IS
months it is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on it's back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use Of

Lame Mans Point of View.

From the Washington Herald
 What is the most galllng thing that happens to you a result of your con dition?" asked Adolph Lange of Chicago, a dealer in surgical instruments, who happens to be lame himself, recently. of a lame customer who had come to MT. Lange's store to buy a new crutch.
 ITO have women get up and offer me a seat in street car" answered the other without moments hesitation.
 This little incident was told last night by MT. Lange, who is at the New Will lard, and who was in New fork on business, and is now on his way to the Jamestown show. Did you ever observe the entrance of a man on crutches into a crowded car?" continued MT. Lange. Invariably two or three women will spring to their feet and graciously offer a seat. The cripple declines, but sym pathetic femnity is not to be baked of its self-sacrihce, and, flushing with shame and distress the victim is forced to ac- cept. The other evening on a packed "L" train, man on two crutehes made a strenuous resistance. A worn and weary shop girl who had several miles to travel, had promptly arisen at his ap- pearance and motioned him toward her seat. My dear madam he protested, if l am not mistaken, you have been standing all day and are tired, while I nave been Slttlng cOm1OrtaDly In my ol- flee and am as fresh as a lark. It is less a hardship for me to stand than it is for you, for, counting my crutches, I have four feet to your two, and hence am able to plaht myself more firmly
 His objections were in vain, however, for she insisted so volubly that, rather than prolong the scene, he was obliged to accept the distasteful courtesy. The explanation of this universal feeling among the lame and halt is not difficult to understand. A cripple never realizes that he limps unless he sees himself in a mirror, or has his condition borne In upon him by some offieious act of sym pathy. So, as a matter of fact, many a courtesy shown to him on account of his condition Is not kindness On the con- trary, it is absolute cruelty. His state is really not so distressful after all Those who are condemned by reason of a sprained ankle or broken limb, to travel on crutches for brief season can no more understand this than can blind folded person realize what 1t is to be irrevocably deprived of sight"

A Model of Thrift.

From the Washington Herald.
 A model of thrift is octave Girard of Ware, Mass, who has siO,000 which he has saved In 27 years out of $l earned daily. Besides accommodating this little fortune MT. Grard has reared 13 children, and now, at the age of 72. he is going to settle down and enjoy himself To his wife rather than to himself Mir. Girard attributes his success. When his children were young she washed carded and spun wool for their clothing. After finding himself a failure as cobbler in his early days, Mir. Girard shipped on whaler and spent five. years at sea. Then he went to Canada and married Miss Amanda Girourd. the sweetheart of his poyhood. Settling at Ware, he became a coachman. and for 27 years he worked for the same family at the uniform wage of si a day. When his oh ildren grew up and began to earn a little money his savings increased. Once he made 5000 in real estate deal, out practically all of his little fortune represents small but steady saving. He has never learned to read or write.

Girls Finish kaiser's Task.

From the New York Press.
 Two little girls in England will recall the Kaiser's visit with a special delight for on them devolved what they doubt, less regard as the honor of finishing hit of work begun and left unfinished by Wilhelm in his usual slapdash, rough rider style. William the On1nipotent was the guest of Col. Stuart Wortey, owner of Highcliffe Castle. The colonel enter tained the Kaiser lavshly, and the Elm peror had such ripping time that he loftily consented to plant tree on the domain. For be 1t known, monarch may plant tree without losing caste. whereas for him to chop a cord of wood would be unspeakably beneath his dig nifty. Wilhelm, in a bowler hat and with the inevitable cloak or cape draped as ever to hide that left arm of his, knelt on one knee on velvet cushion laid on the lawn of Hlghcliffe, and, with Lord Normanton standing behind him and Colonel Whortley a little further back, made a few jabs with a trowel into the rich English soil A gardener, with crushed look, held the skbny sapling, and when the Kaiser had made his jahs another gardener made a real hole in the ground. The tree was stepped in the hole and the Emperor threw a couple of trowelfuls of earth on the roots. After which the Misses Wortley shoveled in the rest of the earth in lusty fashion, and Wilhelm stalked off impressvely as if he had done something to earn his living.

SeattIe's War on Rats.

From the Baltimore American.
 "We have begun arresting people in Seattle who fail to comply with re- gently passed ordinance relating to rats" said Dr. s. J. Fowle of the state of Washington Just before I left home two butchers were haled into court for violating the law, in that they had failed to make their premises rat proof
 After the law was passed the po- lice went about informing all market men, grocers and dealers in food prod ucts that they must fortify their houses against the rodents or else be liable to arrest. The purpose was to cut off the rats from their source of sustenance, and thereby make easier their exter- imitation. The butchers arrested did not try to make their places of busi- ness secure against the entrance of the pests. and they will no doubt have to suffer.
 "We have slain tens of thousands of the rats sinca the campaign of destruc- ton began and are beginning to breathe more freely, for at one time It was the fear of our medical men that they might spread the bubonic plague that had appeared in San Fran cisco and cause frightful sacrifice of human lives"
