Madison, Neb., Nov. 20. - From a

the sure herald of district court, ia
out The docket fresh from the print
er's press Is being distributed this
week by District Clerk Fields and
Madison county attorneys are brushing
up on the cases that are listed for
trial.
Next Monday Judge WEIGH will con-
vene district court In the Madison
county court house. The week fol-
lowing the jury will be called to try

work to keep Judge WEIGH in Madison
the greater part of next week.
If any considerable number Of the
jury cases listed are ready for trial
when the jury assemblies on Deem
Der Madison county has an excep-
tionally long jury term in prospect.
The case which overshadows all 9th
ers in point of public interest is the
murder charge against Herman b.
che. Unless a continuance Is secured
this case will be tried during the ear
ly part of December.
Otherwise the criminal docket is
nearly bare. Three of the hospital
cases" are still in court for trial for
no action was taken touching them
was taken to the supreme court. Ell
lis was the only man tried at the
April term of court and the state was
unable to secure more than an assault
and battery verdict from the jury. Ell.
lis appealed to the supreme court
from the fine of SIS on the claim that
the grand jury which indicted him was
not properly drawn. This appeal is
still to be acted on by the supreme
court.
Norfolk has considerable interest in
the case filed against the city by o.
p. Herrick, the sewer contractor, who
has taken his dispute with the council
into the district court. Herrick and
the council differ several thousand
dollars in their figures.

Madison expects to effect a public
library organization on the evening of
December 9, when Miss Templeton,
secretary of the state library commits
sion, will speak in the Madison opera
house on the proposed library. The
library idea originated with the Wo-
mans club of Madison but the club
intends to turn the project over to a
citizens organization. The library will
probably be started in a room over
the Prince block and will be looked
after by DR.. Baker.
Madison is still waiting for the com
pletion of its new city hall and fire
house. Delayed material has caused
the delay.
II have seen and heard of many
swift towns" remarked Henry Faes
to a Madison newspaper man, "but
never in my life have l been in a
place where women had to carry an
alarm clock tied around their wrist
as did a Creston lady last Wednesday
in order that she might know when II
was time to cease her trading for the
day."

The Madison Star-Mail tells this on
tailor of the town: lotto Koeberlin,
the funniest tailor that ever made a

Wednesday that was undoubtedly his
match in the person of representa-

goes that the Salvation man rushed
into Otto's pantorium unannounced
with the remark as he entered, Good
day. Otto in his usual joshing way
said, Good bye Not yet remarked
the Salvationist, and smiling he walk
ed up to the learned tailor and extend
ing the glad hand said, Come across,
and Otto came"

It is fact that all the fools are not dead yet, and this was aptly proven last Saturday when the more ignorant negroes sold more or less of the Cash ier's Certificates which came into their hands for labor, produce or otherwise, at discount. Early Sat urday morning, so we are informed, some negroes were selling their cer- titicates at just any old price, not withstanding they had the very best of assurance that they were as good as gold Public sentiment condemns in unmeasured terms those who took advantage of this kind of an oppor- tunity to make money. In times like these it is the duty and should be the pleasure of all who are informed to use their understanding in way that will give confidence to others, and thus by benetitting the whole body benefit themselves. The banks came to the rescue by issuing these certifi- cates and deserve the hearty thanks of the puplic for their action, and no one who has the best interests of the town at heart ought to discredit these certificates even in the estimation of an ignorant negro, by buying them at a discount

SOUTH HAS THE GOODS.
Immense Crops Ready to Export in Return for Foreign Cash if Money
 for Transportation is Afforded.

New Orleans. Nov. l3.-That the south Is financially safe and in posi-. tion to benefit greatly the other DOT tlons of the United States was the opinion expressed today by New Or leans bankers and business men. The immense exports of cotton and also sugar and rice, are relied on to bring in gold from abroad.
 An index of ths south's proSperity was the amount Of shipping at this port today Tlere were tifty sea going vessels in the harbor, and in ad- dltion, scores of river craft piled high with sugar, molaSses. cotton and rice. The harbor activity was all the more significant, because it followed on the heels of months strike of 10000 levee men. Within the past twenty four hours alone twenty sea-going vessels have arrived.
 Partly as a guarantee for the un- hampered movement of the crop sta- pies, speculative activity involving any unnecessary risks in other lines of business was today suspended in New Orleans, both local stock exchanges closing until Monday. The cotton ex- change continued open.
 Reports came in today from rural districts in Mississippi, Alabama, Ark ansas and Tennessee that small banks have followed the lead of the cities, and have taken united action to pro tect depositors from loss of money or confidence.

DIR. ]. W. MOORE.

In last weeks issue of The Times we announced pr. J. W. Moore, of East Blackfish township, as a candi date for reelection to the office of epresentatiye in the lower house of the Arkansas legislature from St. Francis county.
 Dr. Moore served his first term in the last General Assembly, and served his constituents faithfully and to the best of his ability. We have not had a copy of the Acts of the last legisla- ture, and could not undertake to review Dr. Moore's acts from memory, there fore we leave his record for each to in- vestigate for himself.
 It has long been the unwritten law of the democratic party to give a worthy official a second term, and Dr. Moore comes before you asking your endorsement of his official acts by giy- ing him the nomination next March. By reason of his experience in the last legislature he is much better qualified now than when he first entered upon the duties of his office, and if re-elect- ed, he will give the people of his county the benefit of this experience in introducing and carrying to a sue cessful culmination all measures that are deemed needful or desirable and in opposing such measures as are detri- mental or hurtful to the best inter- ests of the taxpayers of this county.
 Blackfish township has always been a banner township, and besides his personal claims upon the party, the fact that he halls from that section should be a strong reason for your hearty support.
 He will appreciate your vote, and any kindness shown him, and We com mend him to you as being entirely worthy of your most distinguished consideration.

We greatly regret to trouble you to make this change, but we are real good friends to the newspapers and we believe they are good friends of ours. We believe that business man who ignores Printers Ink, and it's in- fiuence upon the commercial interests of the world, is making great mis- take. The business man and the newspaper should have reciprocity of interests, and each should recipro- cate in aiding the other.
