CIRCUIT COURT
 TAKES A RECESS
JUDGE GOTHAM FINISHES UP WORK WITH A RECORD OF 21
 SENT TO PENlTENTIARY.
Docket Will be in Splendid Shape for the Next Term, and Hereafter There Will be no Congestion
 in Court

With a record for the settlement of more civil cases. both old and new than has been disposed of in former circuit court hessions. and witM a criminal record of q men convicted and sent to the state pententiary Circuit Judge Gotham took a recess yesterday. which is practically an adj l. ieurnment of the term.
 Judge Leslie will sit as special judge in a case on July 5, and later Circuit Judge Gotham will hold a one day session, dispose of any informal matter that may arise, and conclude the business with q final adjourn ; ment.
 The record made in circuit court has been q remarkable one in many respects. To begin with, there were four regular jury panels ordered drawn, so the business of a congest- ed docket could be disposed of or caught up with, at all hazards. Judge ~~--am did not find it necessary to extend the court term as far as be was prepared to carry it, but the cases were disposed uf just the same.
 There has also been notable im- proyement in the manner of The per sonnel of the juries. in that there have not been many mistrials In the civil actions there has almost universally been a disposition by the juries to reach an agreement satls- factory to all the parties. and in the criminal cases where mistrials have resulted, 1t has been were special Jurors have been called in, so the re- sponsibility therefore could not he entirely placed with the regular jury panels.

"Mug" Is Overworked Word,

The most overworked word in the
Englishman's vocabulary of slang is
Mug" AS a noun 1t may mean a
face, a fool, or a student who prefers
reading to sport. AS a verb it's mean
ings are still more varied. It may
mean to study hard, or to strike in the
face. 1t also means to rob or swindle,
and among actors to grimace or make
faces. To mug up is also, in theatrical
%parlance, to make up.
Finally. to mug ones self is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being
one of mugginess. There is more OBJ
vious sense In this last use Of the
word than in ONE Of the others, for
alehouses, in the eighteenth century,
were commonly known as mughouses.
Mug is the English equivalent of the
German Tug, which Mark Twain found
to mean everything. A new sense OF
the verb mug" in the American slang
Is to photograph a face.

Mitchell.-The officers of the South
Dakota Scenic highway have returned
from their overland trip from Sioux
Falls to Deadwood to make a personal
inspection of the new highway which
is now under construction. The men
brought in a splendid report of the
work that is being done all along the
route, and between the two points
nineteen outfits were at work on the
roads. In a great many places a fine
roadway has been made. The officials
held meetings at every town en- route,
and the greatest of enthusiasm was
shown by the men of the towns and
country, all realizing the benefits of
a good roadway across the state.
Money and work has been literally
subscribed for the completion of the
roadway, and by fall it will be finished
Engineer Mather, who is in charge of
the construction of the roadway to the
west, states hat automobiles can
make the journey clear through to the
Hills country at the present time and
fine good roads all the way. This is
much more than the officers hoped for
this year, bu. when the people living
along the route realized the great ben
eft attained they did not hesitate to
get behind Che improvement.

New York, July Nathan Allen,

Wis, who was fined $12, 900 for snug
Cling jewelry into the United States

failed in his attempt to have her $780,

While Allen was in New York in
connection with the smuggling charge,
Mrs. Jenkins served him with the COM
plant in her action. She charges that
he and his detectives converted to
their own use certain securities and
jewels that belonged to her.
Allen contended he was immune
from service because he came to New
York in response to a federal sum-
mons and vas hence under the juris-
diction Of a court other than that
which served the Jenkins complaint.
The appellate division, however, holds
that the service was good and he must

Harmon on 9 Ballots
Wilson Dogged.

Baltimore, July 1.-GiviHg up all
attempt to break the existing dead
lock, the leaders in the Democratic
party at 1905 o'clock decided upon an
adjournment until / o'clock in the
afternoon in the hope that some sort
of agreement might be reached as to
a presidential nominee.
A sensational break in the New
York delegation gave that states 80
votes to Clark on the tenth ballot in
the Democratic national convention
and carried the speaker to a total of
$50 out of the LOSS delegates, but
still left him 10 votes short of the
two-thirds vote necessary to a choice.
The balloting was continued at an
early hour, with the Clark forces out
wardly confident and the Wilson man
ayers doggedly claiming that the final
break would come to the New Jersey
governor.
The Clark managers jubiliantly
claimed that every Democratic candi-
date who ever reached a majority in
the convention always succeeded in
eventually getting the required two
thirds.
The results of the roll calls up to
the ninth were discouragingly similar.
None Of the leading candidates made
any material gains or losses. There
was no change of more than six votes
in the totals up to that time. The
steady gain of the Wilson vote had

votes in the course of the b~alloting.
Harmon lost slowly but steadily from
his 14S of the first ballot, Underwood
gained a trifle.
The heat in the hall was sitting and
the proceedings dragged heavily. The
delegates gossiped among themselves
or perused newspapers. The leaders
Of the various factions hurried about
the hall. The air was full of rumors
of IDEALS" and trades" A shift that
would throw a deciding vote to one
candidate or another was looked for on

GHOSTS EVER BOTHER your
II So, Southern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions Will Chase
sEm.

AS a part of the folklore OF the ne
gro folks the superstitions of slavery
days are of great interest. The fol-
lowing are ZONE of the negroes beliefs
about ghosts:
TO feel a hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signifed the nearby
presence of a ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
If, however, he is a p%ugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
I'm the name of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
II, on the other hand, it is a prowling
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds, and whispers in the
midnight hours, you have only to put
In a new floor and he will do so no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep In through the crack of the door
In the wee small hours Of the night,
and, once inside, expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way, sow mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place a sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering, the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this
time daylight will come and he will
have to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

For Forty Years a Hermit.

Isaac Sheath, who has just died in
the workhouse at the age of seventy
eight. lived the life of a hermit for
nearly forty years at Newport, Islo
of Wight. He occupied a mud-hut
which he erected on a piece Of waste
land in the village of Chale, but the
hut became so dilapidated that the
rural district council ordered it's de-
struction. Sheath was greatly exas-
perated by the councils interference,
and before he left for the workhouse
he burned the hut to the ground. Mice
and birds had grown SO accustomed to
the old man and his lonely ways that
they used to come and feed from his
hand.-LondOn Mail.
