OF $S,56l.90 was effected as a re.
suit of the abolishing of useless
offices. This item, whcih does
not include the big reduction on
the police force which the SEN
ate has not yet cOncurred in but
will approve shortly, means a
saving of S1O2, 742. so in year.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in ali
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only pos
tive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the pa.
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprletors
have so much faith in its curative

Twice in court at Rugby, where he
was acting upon request OF Judge A.
G. Burr, Judge John Cowan was de-
clared by witnesses to have gone
asleep while cases were in progress
and in one OF these instances wit.
nesses were placed upon the stand to
testify that the impeached jurist was
under the influence of liquor at the
time
The first of these occasions, it was
claimed, took place about Jan. 26,
when the Slavens case was in prog
ress, the jurist dropping asleep, while
witnesses were being examined, and
waking up just at the conclusion OF a
brief argument.
The other incident occurred at the
June term of court, when it was

NO ROAD EXPERT FOR CASS
County Commissioners Find Law Does
Not Demand Supervisor.

There Is disappointment for the auto
nObilists and other advocates Of good
roads on the county road supervisor
proposition. The Cass county com.
missioners have decided not to name
such an official In the good roads
law enacted at the recent session of
Che Legislature there was a provision
that county commissioners may" APP
point county supervisors to get uni
form methods. The law did not say
"shall" or must" and the commits
sioners in many counties. this one in
sluded, are constituting the matter as
optional,
Some years ago In the case Of .
change of venue the supreme court
held that may meant must. 1t is pos.
Sible the same construction may be
put on the word in the road law.
The new measure is regarded as an
opening wedge for some intelligent
methods of road construction in North
Dakota.
