 Great Court Record.
 With the closing ofDaIf branches Of the civil and criminal courts today, 1t was estimated that no less than 2.500 new civil proceedings had been insti- tuted during the last twelve months and that something like 4,000 criminal cases had been instituted. In addition to this enormous amount of new busi- ness, 247 chancery bills were filed since January, and any amount of chancery business was placed on the dockets In the other civil courts.
 It is almost impossible to keep an accurate account of business disposed of in any of the courts. With the way things have been moving fin the City Court since the appointment of two new judges, 1t is estimated that some- thing like 225 cases have been disposed
 
 each year. This refers to common law cases and is exclusive of other litiga- tions.
 The same may be said of the Circuit Court, with one additional judge, and comparatively as many cases. Busi- ness has been despatched with great facility by both judges, and the docket is well in hand.
 Tn the criminal court all records have been broken since April 1st. The two judges. Greene and Weaver. have disposed of something like 1,400 eases. 200 Of which were felonies and capital cases. The books of the clerk show that nearly fourteen cases have been docketed for trial since the spring term began and that some disposition has been made of every case.
 The Chancery Court will probably take recess about July 10th. The Chancellor as a rule, makes orders at intervals throughout the summer. All other courts win be closed until the first Monday in October.

 Fort Morgan is the remotest ofice in the State from Birmingham. and the promptness with which the money was mailed was the subject of favorable comment at the postc4lce Monday.

Birmingham, July 1.--(SpeciaL) )-- Birmingham will most likely bs an ap- plicant for the location of the quarter of aS million dollar hospital to be erect ed By nine conferences of ths Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South. The conferences are located Tn Alabama, tennessee and Arkansas. The general committee on hospital and represent atives from the conferences will meet in Memphis on the 18th inst. and the matter will probably be definitely set- tied on.
 Cities in Tennessee. Arkansas and elsewhere have already announced can- didacy and Daniel Collier, of Tusca- loosa, who will represent the North Alabama Conference at the meeting. if working up interest for Birmingham in the meeting. It is proposed to erect a building that will be equal to all most any hospital in the Southern States today. Memphis. from all fnt forn,ati tion received here, has the best chance so far for the big institution The bids will determine which city will get the hospital.

FARMERS PROFITS ARE GREAT.
Phenomenal Prices Received by the

Phenomenal Prices Received by the
Wisconsin Tobacco Growers.
TIL year just closed will pass into
history as the most prosperous one
ever experienced by the growers of
tobacco in Wisconsin, says the Tobac-
go Reporter. Whatever there is in
store in the future for the dealers who
now practically own the 1906 crop
whether it earns them a profit or a
loss-need not concern the farmer, Tor
his position is secure. He is already
counting his profit and it amounts to
something phenomenal when viewed
in the light Of recent statistics regard
ing the acreage, yield and price paid
the producer. Assuming that the sta
tistics of the agricultural department
are reasonably correct. let us estimate
what the profits of last seasons tobac-
co crop were to the growers of Wis
consin. It is generally conceded that
the 1906 crop amounted close to 10000
acres, yielding 1875 pounds to the
acre, while the average price paid
growers is given at 13 IL cents by the
government report. In other words the
gross receipts of each acre would
amount to $172.12 Deducting the cost
OF raising, which under the most CON
sentative estimates cannot exceed $40
per acre, and it is generally believed
that most OF the tobacco Of this state
is grown at a cost Of less than $50 per
acre, we have at least profit OF Sl32
on every acre produced in the state.
This would mean an enormous total OF
$5,280,000 of clean, cold profits to be
paid the tobacco growers of this state.
In a few weeks now this amount will
have been paid the farmers of only
about !half a dozen counties and
thrown into the channels of trade
again. No such profits were ever be-
fore paid to so small a number of pro-
ducers in the West. The figures are
unprecedented and almost challenge
the credulity of the general public.
Think Of more than $5,000,000 in prof
it's pocketed by less than 10000 farm
ers! Surely the tobacco growers are
in the saddle and riding easily.

remedy it is that old and famous por-
Gus plaster-Allcocks 1t has been in
use for sixty years, and is as popular
to-day as ever, and we doubt if there
is a civilized community on the face
OF the globe where this wonderful pain
reliever cannot be found. In the selec-
ton of the ingredients and in their
manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest
standard of excellence, and so pure
and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and gen.

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak

A lady in a Wis. town employed a

an invalid in bed great part of the
time Had different doctors but moth
ing seemed to help. l suffered from
cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou"
BILE and serious stomach and bowel
trouble. My husband called a new
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor or
dered Grape-Nuts for me. l could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.
when I was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice day and
no white bread for two years. / got
well in good time and have gained in
strength so I can do my own work
again.
''My brain has been helped so much,
and / know that the Grape-Nuts food
did this, too. I found l had been
made Ill because / was not fed right,

bread and some other food tried to
live on.

More that II, 100000 pieces of mail
went astray in these United States
last year because they were not di-
rected even we'll enough for the ex-
perts to decipher the names and adj
dresses.
Millions of this immense total went
to the dead letter Office, where lot Of
it was opened, the addresses of the
writer's ascertained and the letters or
packages returned. But in a good
many cases the writer's address is
never found and the letter is really
dead" when neither the sender nor
the prospective receiver can be dis
covered.
Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw wants to get people in the habit
of writing their own addresses on the
outside of envelopes. This, he says,
would save trouble for all hands, as
the letter, if defective in address,
could be returned at once to the
writer. This simple precaution would
save many a piece of mail from an
early death and burial in the dead let

CAPITOL PLANS ARE TOO GRAND
Legislature Must Fatten the Building
Purse.

Purse.
What material is to be used in the
construction of Wisconsin's new CAPT
toll will depend altogether upon the dis
position of the present legislature.
One Of the questions which the legiS-
lators will have to Wrestle with Will
be the settlement again Of the cost per
cubic foot and incidentally the grades
of materials, decorations and interior
finishings which arc to enter into the
calculation Of the cost per cubic foot
The last session Of the legislature
provided that the cost Of the capitol
should not exceed 40 cents cubic
foot. which ut the time Of the passage
Of the bill was considered sufficient
to defray the cost of a truly magnln'
cent building, constructed OF some
such material as granite and finished
possibly with marble, with decorations
and paintings in keeping with the gen
eral grandeur of the scheme. But since
the passage of the bill, the capitol
commission has discovered that the
price Of material has greatly increased
and that it will be impossible to erect
a new capital after the same substan-
tial and beautiful plans as were origi'
nally conceived. 1t is not at all impoS~
siblc to erect a massive building for
the cost of 40 cents per cubic foot, but
the materials used could not be of such
high grade nor the general scheme so
grand.
Because of the unsettled conditions
the entire matter may be reopened by
the committees on capitol of the two
houses, and the. capitol commission
may be asked to furnish information
on which to base an increase in the
cost per cubic foot,
