WASHINGTON , Dee. 6. The annual re
port of Attorney General Harmon sent to
congress today shows that there has been in
rereads In the number of criminal cases
pending In the federal courts as well as an
r.crease in the expenses of the courts from
S.RGJ.SnS In 18S8 to 43,628.223 In 1S95.
A strong argument Is made for the aboil-
Ion of tlie fee system. He says too much
f the tlmo of the supreme court Is occu
pied by criminal appeals and auggests that
uch appeals b ? disallowed save in capital
The attorney general also calls attention to
vl at he regards as the growing nbus : of the
v rlt of habeas corpus and suggests that the
allowance of a stay by the supreme court erne
no of Its judges be required at leist on all
ppcals after the first. He asks for an ad
ditional circuit judge In the Fifth and Sixth
cYcults.
The Northern Pacific litigation has called
attention to the necessity of legislation to
cgulate the appointment of receivers and
udlclal salrs of railroads , parts .of whose
li.cs are in different states. He points out
ho des'rablllty of the investment of a
Ingle court with entire control over the en-
Ire property.
Prompt action Is urged toward working out
ho solution of the problem presented by the
jovernment rotation to the Central and
Jnlon Pacific railways and as It may be-
omo necessary or advisable for the govern-
ncnt to Institute proceedings against one or
both of these companies , -he shows the
necessity of a law giving some court In the
Mstrlct of Columbia Jurisdiction of the en-
ire property and all of the parties in In-
orest.
Jle urges the Imperative demand for the
rectlon of at least one penitentiary In the
outhern states for the confinement of con-
Icts from the southern districts.
The attorney general saya the principles
stabllshed by the opinion of the supreme
ourt in the Debs case aio of the highest
'aluo and importance.

WASHINGTON , Dec. G. The committee
f Armenian citizens which Is In Washlncton
n behalf of their countrymen has presented
u Mr. Hltt and other members conspicuous
u foreign affairs statements regarding the
treatment of Armenians who are naturalized
American citizens , which put a very serious
aspect upon the relations of the United
States with Turkey and may Inspire a decla
ration by congress. It Is represented by the
cummlttcB that the Turkish government re
fuses absolutely to permit naturalized
Armenians to return to their old homes , and
also pro\ents them from bringing other
members of their families out of the Turkish
dominion to this country.
Beyond this the Armonalns declare that
the Turkish government compels all natural
ized Armenians doing business in this coun
try to remit taxes on their business and In
come taxes to the sultan's officers. These
taxes are levied arbitrarily , and their col
lection Is enforced by unlmie methods , nnn
Armenian doing business In Massachusetts ,
it Is said , was recently compelled to remit
on Income tax on J300. Ho refund to pay
the tax , whereupon his brother In the
sultan's dominion was Imprisoned nnd kepT
until the money was forthcoming. The
Massachusetts delegation has urged congress
to take extreme measure * against Turkey ,
but baa iccclved no assurances that any
steps will be taken more radical tlmn the
passage of n resolution culling upon the
preside-ill to employ every means recognized
by International law for the protection of
American citizens and the prevention of
all outrages upon Armenians.

An insurance policy for $1,000 , which way
left by Edward F. Cook as a part of his
estate , has occia'oned a considerable amount
of legal squabbling , to judge from the peti
tion regatdlng It wh'ch was filed In the d strict
court yesterday. The suit li brought by
Fannie A. Meyera against the heirs of Cook's
estate.
The policy was Issued to Cook In 1SG4 and
was made payable to his wife. His wife ,
however , died before he did , and Kannle
Meyers alleged that he then , out of his love
for her , assigned It to her. she being his
wife's cousin. When Cook died his will was
probated and C. E. George was appointed
administrator of the estate.
The heirs made a demand that the- Insur
ance policy bo turned over to the estate , ami
they obtained an order from the county Judge
directing Fannie Meyers to turn It over , with
out prejudicing , however , any rights that die
might have in It. In duo coursa of tlmo the
administrator got the policy. Of late an
application was made In the county court for
an order making the policy a parf of the
estate , but the hearing has not yet occurred.
It Is alleged at this point that u conspiracy
was entered Into between , the administrator
and the heirs to doprhc the plaintiff of all
rights to the policy. The lielry issued artl
of replevin for the paper , -and It is alleged
that Gorge voluntarily turned It over. It Is
claimed that the object of this action Is to
obtain permanent posy sslon of the policy.
The hearing on the replevin occurs on De
cember C.
To forestall this alleged fraudulent scheme
Fannle Meyers has applied for nnd obtained
a restraining order enjoining the administra
tor and the heln ? from taking part In the pro
ceedings In the Justice court where the re
plevin proceedlng9 are to bo had until the
merits of the case can be decided by the dis
trict court.

suit was brought by Ira Fribble. She has
continually alleged that she had no moms
with which to pay her fare to this city in
order to make a defense , and consequently
some weeks ago the court ordered transporta
tion to bo Mnt to her. It appears that the
clerk of the district court was ordered to
send the transportation Novemb'r 2. The
clerk neglected to send the ticket , as shown
by affidavits and the stamp on the letter ,
until November 2C. Mrs. I'rlbble did not get
It until November 29. This was too late for
her to get to this city In time for the hear

that she has been ready for some time to

For th ( past six months the German gov

Vou MllUrn In , this country looking up evi
dence In the famous llsb Knccbs horse
"ringing" case , to ba tried In a short time In
the courts of that country. The experience
of the official has not been a pleasant one.
He arrived in America last May , and , after
attending the hearing before the German
consul In Chicago , visited every race track
in the country In search of evidence. A
month ago he arrived In Sioux City , where
Kiucbji made his home for n long time , and
was promptly arrested on a charge of rob
bing and burning n depot at a small town
In the county , In the fear that he might
destroy his usefulness If he became known
he did not disclose his Identity. Ho succeeded
in establishing an alibi under the name of
John Miller In the case against him here ,
but Instead of bolng released , was turntd
over lo the > federal authorities and taken to
South Dakota to answer n charge of robbing
a postofllc3 In that state. This charge also
falling to I'tlck ' , he was accused of working
a clever confidence game on South Dakota
farmers. Sines then he has spent the greater
part of his time In Jail , new accusations
Ijtlnir. brought against him as fast as the old
ones were dUpossd of.
Notwithstanding these difficulties , he con
trived to secure the- necessary evidence , and
before leaving for Rjropj decided to disclose
his Identity. His story Is amply proven by
papers In his possession. Kneebs , he says ,
will certainly go to Germany to answer the
chargei ngalnst him. He refuses , however , to
express his views as to the chance of n
conviction. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

4 YOU Don't Become
a Slave to their Use ! "
The above words have been
truthfully spoken concerning Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets by one
who has had abundant opportunity
to observe their more favorable ac
tion as compared with that of other
pills.Most
Most pills and medicines in use
for constipation , in the long run ,
" make a bad matter worse. " Un
like such agents , Dr. Pierce's Pel
lets exert such a tonic or strength
ening effect upon the membranes
of tlie stomach and bowels , as to
produce lasting benefit. Their use
can , therefore , be gradually discon
tinued. With most pills the longer
they are taken , the more dependent
upon their use the patient becomes.
Not so with the " Pellets. " Their
.secondary effect is to keep the bow
els open and regular , not to further
constipate. Hence , their great
popularity with sufferers from hab
itual constipation ,
The Pellets cure costiveness , or
constipation , biliousness , sick nnd
bilious headache , dizziness , sour
stomach , loss of appetite , coated
tongue , indigestion , or dyspepsia ,
windy belchings , " heartburn , "
pain and distress nfter eating , nnd
kindred derangements of the liver ,
stomach and bowels. One little
"Pellet" is a laxative , two arc
mildly cathartic.
They are tiny , sugnr-coated gran
ules ; any child will readily take
them. Sold by all dealers.
