APPROVES CUMMINS' BILL Pottawattamie County Bar Association Urge Supreme Court Legislation. OEUCATION SENT TO PUSH THE MEASURE Reasons Stated for Proposed Heqnlre saeat that All Snprente Conrt ' Jadges shall Live In the Slate Capital. The Cummins bill now before the state legislature was indorsed In strong terms by the Pottawattamie County Bar associa tion yesterday at a meeting called by Presi dent Flnley Burke to dlscnss the measure. Not only did the association Indorse the bill, but It selected a delegation to ge to Des Moines to present Its views on the mat ter to the proper legislative committees. The delegation Is a representative one and Is composed ef Emmet Tlnley, chairman; Hon. Joha N. Baldwin, Judge J. R. Reed, C. M. HarL John M. Galvln and A. T. Flick inrer. These resolutions were adopted and copies were sent to the senate and bouse Judiciary committees and the bouse committee on compensation of public officers: Resolved, by the Bar association of Potta wattamie county, That we heartily Indorse and urge the adoption of the bill now pending In the general assembly, requiring the Judges of the supreme court to reside In Des Moines and maintain the court In continuous session, and Increasing their salaries, for the reason that this legisla tion will enable the court to take the sub misslon of a limited number of cases, on full argument, oral and written, and have them speedily determined on adequate con sultation, obtaining thereon the Judgment of the entire court, and will enable the Judge, to be together for consultation, within ready access to all authorities, and under conditions enabling them to do their work with greater satisfaction, both to themselves and the bar. 1 It will do away with the present cumber some and Inadequate "postoftice" system, which, without Intending any criticism of the court, has proved unsatisfactory to the bar and likewise to the court. Under this system. It is practically impossible, In the average case, to have the ripened Judg ment of more than one Judge, and It abso lutely debars the oral argument of causes by counsel, which ill of the most eminent courts have declaiil to be not only con ducive to better wtrk on the part of the court, but practically essential to the satisfactory determination of Important cases. The proposed legislation will enable the court. In the discharge of Its business, to In some degree follow the practice of the supreme court ot the United State, and the circuit courts of appeals, which have been found to be the methods best adapted to the most satisfactory discharge of Ju dicial duty. We believe this system will be conducive to the more orderly and satisfactory dis charge of the duties of the court, and meet the objections which have been pre valent among litigant, and the bar. This Increase of labor and expense rightfully demand. Increased compensation for the overworked and underpaid Judges of the highest Judicial tribunal in the state. The Cummins bill provides for Increasing the salaries of the Judges of the supreme court to $6,000 and requires that they must reside In Des Moines. It also provides for an increase in the salaries of Judges of the district court. " CASES IN DISTRICT COURT Mrs. Charlotte M. Smith Seeks to Be Relieved ef Omaha Mar rlaae Bonds. Mrs. Charlotte M.

The liquor was seised by a constable on a search warrant, an Information having been filed before Justice- Butler of that town that the ex press company was keeping liquor for sale in violation of law. The prosecution con tended thst inasmuch as the persons to whom the liquor was consigned paid for It when taking It out of the express company's office, it practically amounted to a sale of the liquor there and then. The proceedings under the search warrant were tried be fore a Jury In Justice Butler's court, which returned a verdict condemning the liquor. An appeal was taken to the district court and Judge Wheeler, at the recent term In Avoca, reversed the finding of the Justice's court Jury and ruled In favor of the express company.

Judge Whltsker of this district hss Just handed down a declelon In favor of Arch bishop Keane in the esse brought some time ago by the German Catholics ot Wil liams, a town east ot this city. The German Catholic church at Williams was rebuilt In 1895, after having been de stroyed by a tornado. For the new church the German Catholics contributed $3,000.

This wss never done. The court decides in favoV of the archbishop, hold ing that he has the right to send any priest to whatsoever parish he pleases, and that insomuch as the Germans are greatly in the minority It would be unjuat to sell the church away from the majority In or der to return to a small minority their money.

In a little West Virginia mountain town situated high up In the Appalachlaa range, not far from the border of Maryland, is located the modest plant that turns out millions- ot postal cards every month for the United States government. The town Piedmont. W. Va.. and here the busy factory is at work six days In the week, making the little oblong sheets of card board which are destined to carry mes sages of alt sorts from all conditions ot people. Here, also, Is tnsde the cardboard from which the postal rards are made; here It is cut Into the requisite sizes and the cards printed, and finally packed and shipped into every state, city, town and hamlet in the United 8tatea, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine islands. ' The postal card manufactory, relates the Philadelphia Record) Is a two-story, fire proof brick building with a cement roof. The building is further protected by patent automatic fire sprinklers, with an abundant supply of water, so that danger from fire reduced to a minimum. The building is not large about 100x60 feet. The power to run the machinery Is furnished by the plant of the paper company whose large establishment adjoins that of the postal works. The first floor of the building is used for a press room, rssing room and a dry room for the printed postal cards. There are wo printing presses in the press room. each having a capacity of 1,200 Impressions an hour. The size ot the sheets of paper used on these presses is 60x30 Inches, and each sheet contains ninety postal cards resdy to be cut and packed when It comes from the press. The dies used In the print ing of the cards are, of course, furnished by the government. The presses are oper ated by four men. each of whom works eight hours every day. In the casing room one man is kept busy putting together the knocked -down pine boxes In which the cards are packed for shipment. These boxes are made of pine grown In West Virginia, and are shipped "knocked-down" to the contractor. The boxes vary in else, holding 6,000, 10,000, 26.000 or 100,000 cards, respectively. The largest shipment ever made from the Piedmont works was a con- lgnment of 24,000,000, which went out on June 16. 1900. The paper must contain 69 per cent of sulphite spruce fibre, 22 per cent of soda chemical poplar fibre bleached, and 9 per cent of English clay. All of these com ponents must be clean and free from im perfections; calendered to a uniform weight and thickness, and finished on both sides suitable for writing with Ink or pencil, the tint In all cases being, of course, a uniform buff. Even the tensile strength is. tested, and, in fact, in every possible detail the cards must conform to ,a rigid government standard. Even the quality ot the Ink used In printing the cards snd its color, black, must be exactly as the gov ernment has stipulated In the specifica tions under which the contract is let, and what is known as a water finish to the material used in the manufacture of the cards Is not permitted. The regular force at the postal card manufactory numbers only forty employes. half of whom are women and the re mainder men. A HAUCIOll MEDDLER. Young Woman Had Very Good Gronnd . for Detesting Him. Two well-drtesed and attractive young women business girls, apparently rustled Into a car the other morning and took seats, relates the Detroit Free Press. After they were comfortably adjusted, with parcels and umbrellas, the one In the blue cloth suit scanned the two men who sat opposite and remarked to her companion: "It's too near the stove here;' let's move down." Then the girls arose and took seats far ther down, out of range of the two men. What was the matter, Clara?" the other girl asked; "It wasn't really too warm back there." "No," the first girl answered with spirit. "but that horrid man with the brown bat and overcoat sat near us. He Is always on the car near me, Laura, and I detest the sight of him." "I don't know him," commented Laura; who la he?" "Why, I don't know him, either," Clara explained, "but I won't sit where I bave to look st htm." "Has he ever been rude to you?" asked Laura. "Rude? I think so. About three months ago I dreamed I was standing before the altar in a lovely church all decorated with palms and flowers and was Just about to be married oh, to such a handsome man, Laura, and that hideous old thing in the brown hat and coat the very same man came rushing down the aisle and arrested my promised husband for bigamy." : .

Why be lrk when we (rvaraatee thU medicine to help yon! Some peopla ara aptly described ai "always grunting." They never seem to feel just right, and if one thing isn't the matter with them another is. These are the people that we always feel like crossing the street to avoid meeting. They are always more or less ill because they refuse to adopt a sensible course. When they feel some particular symp tom they dose themselves with various things which are supposed to be good for what that symptom indicates. There is no use in pursuing such a course as this. The only wny to get cured and stay cured is to find the root of the trouble and pull that root out. Now, everybody knows that weakness or diseases of the stomach, liver or kid neys and consequent impure blood is responsible for more than ninety per cent of the ills that flesh is heir to. The only sensible "thing to do is to take Smith's Green Mountain Renova tor. . That doesn't waste any time chas ing around for this symptom or that symptom, but goes right to the vital organs, cleans them out and strengthens and upbuilds them, and purifies and en riches the blood. Just as soon as this is done you get well, and just as long as you keep yourself in proper condition by the use of this famous old medicine you are going to stay well. There isn't any guesswork about this. In its native Xew England home, where it is the standard household remedy for old and young, rich and poor, Smith's Green Mountain Renova tor has been effecting the most wonder ful cures for a great many years, and it will do for you just what it has done for others. "My huhand has already told ynn how won derfully he has hn benefited by Caking Smith's Orx.h Mountain Renovator, and now I want you to know the rest of the story. " For years I have been a frail woman. Ify household duties and cares of a family wore so much upon me t his winter that I was afraid of a Tere illness.

Your medicine Is the best remedy for tired out people that I hare ever trlsl. I have no more backache, headaohe cr nervousness. The RENOVATOR cured me." . (Signed) Mas. Rcintv (Vtwott, B10 S.
