COURTS WILL

Elimination of Historic Tribunals Provided fol

Washington. d. c., November 2s.-In
every State OF the Union there will pasy
out of existence on January l neXi
historic court practically as old as
the State itself. On that day seventy
seven United States Circuit Courts VIII
cease to do business at the 276 differ
ent places they have been accustomed
to meet. Arrangements for this change
are now being perfected in Washington
and throughout the circuits.
The elimination of the Circuit
Courts was one of the reforms pro-
vided for in tho new judiciary code
enacted by Congress on March 8. 1911
to become effective January /. 1912.
The code provided that after the latter
day there should be only the district
courts. the nine Circuit Courts OF APP
peal and the Supreme Court. The ex-
istence of the Circuit Courts since 1891,
when the Circuit Courts of Appeal were
created, has been regarded as expcn-
sfve and superiluous.
The twcnty-nine circuit judges will
not lose their jobs. as they Will con-
tinue to sit In the Circuit Courts of
Appeal and help out the district courts.
All the clerks of tho Circuit Courts
will have their positions abolished. At

deeds were filed with the county re-

conveying to John and Urban Parker
$50 acres in Cleveland township. The
consideration was forty-nine thousand
three hundred dollars Who says Da-
Wis county is not o. K when it can
show farm and personal property
worth sixtythree thousand dollars?
There was about $4,000 worth Of
personal property on the farm belong
ing to the Trimbles and Wallace that
was sold February 22nd at public sale
on the farm. Mr.. Wallace took a dis
play ad in each Of the county papers
and lays the success of his sale to
that advertising. Without a doubt it
added hundreds of dollars to the sale.
The most successful sales of the
year have been those advertised by

The editor saw county newspaper
