Wo urn authorized to announce the name of CHARLES T. CUOWKLL (is a candidate for of the fourth ward. Republican Judicial Convention. The judicial convention for the first circuit met at Cairo Thursday afternoon. The attendance was large, all the nine counties being represented by full delegations.

The proposed reapportionment of the circuits in this section of the State, having been finally defeated last week, the result of this convention was a foregone conclusion. The best of feeling prevailed and the deliberation partook more of a "love feast" than a political battle. A formal ballot was taken resulting as follows: Robarts, 103; Duncan, 101; Vickers, 92; McElvain, 20; Dodd, Whitsides, necessary to choice, 57. On motion the nominations of Judges liobarts and Vickers and Hon. W.

W. Duncan were made unanimous, after which short addresses were made by Judges Duncan, Vickers, Whitesides, McElvain, Barker and others. A resolution was adopted expressing sympathy for Judge Bo- barts who was prevented from attending because of illness. The new judicial committee was selected, Postmaster White of Murphysboro being the Jackson county member. This committee is empowered to 1111 any vacancy on the which might occur between now and the election in June.

Judge McElvain was accorded a most hearty reception by the convention, and although he failed to receive one of the nominations for the circuit judgeahip, the cordiality of his reception plainly indicated the high regard in which he was held. It was the general opinion of the delegates at Cairo Thursday that the would make no nominations in this circuit. Tho house committee has reported favorably on the appropriations asked for by tlio trustees of the Hospital for Iho Insane at Anna. The whole amount is $302,000 of which $275,000 is for ordinary expenses, the rest of the sum to be used for special purposes. One of the items includes appropriation for a new hospital building where tho side may have the necessary quiet and care.

They are now scattered through the various wards. When the new building is erected trained nurses will be employed and the sick patients can be better taken care of. In this issue appears the announcement of F. M. Caldwell as a candidate for re-election as city clerk.

Mr. Caldwell needs no introduction to Carbondale people as lie has filled that ofllcc with complete satisfaction for the last ten years, and is exceptionally well posted on all matters pertaining to city affairs. That he has no opposition this year speaks well for his worthiness and his acceptable service as an official. The executive committee having in charge the preparations for the G. A.

K. Encampment at East St. Louis in May, state that 15,000 visitors are expected at the encampment. A big detachment'of troops from Jefferson Barracks, with the military band, will be assigned to East St. Louis for that week, and a big parade is planned.

A Northwestern 'university, Evauston, after careful consideration, have promulgated a new code of rules for their guidance. They are as follows: "How to be popular; or the Ten Commandments for the girl who wants to have a good time," "1. Thou shalt not be thine own God. "II.

The newspaper man is not a mind reader and cannot be in every place at the same time. His eyes may be a little keener and his ears a little sharper than the average mortal through necessity of his calling, but to give all the news he has to hear it, If you have a visitor at your home, are going to make a visit, have a social function, all these little happenings, however trivial they' may seem, will be ot some interest to some one and the newspaper is glad to get it, and will appreciate the information. If it is not convenient to see us it won't make us mad to answer the Send in the news. A murder trial is in progress at Seattle, which has aroused considerable interest by the peculiar ideas on the part of the defense in se- juring the jury. Astrology is the ruling spirit and no one accepted as a juror who was born under the signs of Cancer, Scorpion or Pisces, reasoning thus: "A man born between June 21 and July 22 will pay no attention to argument; one born between October 23 and November 22 is unsympathetic and unfeeling and hard to render sensitive bo any appeal; and to one boni between February 19 and March 21, argument and advice would be entirely When were you born? Percy W.

Condit, who resigned his position as clerk in the trainmaster's office last December because of ill health, died at his home in Centralia Tuesday evening of last week, aged 26 years. The young man had gone to New Mexico with hopes of benefitting his health, but grew rapidly He was brought home Monday in a very weakened condition and died the following day. He leaves a young- wife and a babe less than a year old. The Condits resided here for several months prior to January 1, and left many friends who will deeply sympathize with the stricken family. The proposition for a hospital in Carbondale seems to be favorably received and the matter will probably shape itself in an association being formed who will lease the Ellis hotel property for hospital purposes.

There is no question of the desirability of the property Cor a hospital and an earnest co-oporation on the part of the physicians, railway men and citizens generally, would result in le, securing a creditable and much needed hospital. In a moment of despondency, Miss Clara Goodwin of Grand Tower, 18 of age, shot herself Thursday at her sister, Mrs. Albert Adderly in St. Louis dying later at the city hospital. Miss Goodwin had made her home with her sister for several months.

On the morning of the suicide they had "spat" over, some trivial matter and to the great surprise of the rest of the household committed the rash act of taking her own liffi, Judge 0. A. Barker, F. T. Joyner, Postmaster Slack, Jno.

Henry K. W. Beeman, aged 60 years, for many years a well-known business man here and a greatly esteemed citizen, died Wednesday morning last at the home of a relative near Quincy. Mr. Beeman had not been in good health for several years, having practically retired from active business before his removal to Chicago five years ago.

Recently his -health failed rapidly and a few months ago Mrs. and Mrs. Beeman went to visit some relatives near Quincy, believing the change from the city would be beneficial. His death last week came quite unexepeotedly. Mr.

Mr. Goodman, who is an elder in one of the South Side churches, attended a card party one Tuesday evening not long ago. It was late when the company broke-up, and as a consequence the elder was very sleepy at prayer meeting the next night. His efforts to keep awake, though earnest, were futile, and at last his chin went down to rest upon the bosom of his shirt. When the meeting was about over the minister called upon Mr.

Goodman to "lead in A kind lady sitting next to the sleeping elder nudged him and whispered: "It is your turn to lead." Suddenly straightening up and blinidng he said in tones that could be heard all through the church: "Madam, I beg your pardon; I just Herald.

A dollar spent with a mail order house in a big city is locked behind the iron doors of a safe and never gets back into your pocket or your vicinity, correctly observes the Enfield Express. The dollar spent with the home merchant helps pay county and town taxes and helps to educate the children. Think of these things before you send your money away. C.
