Johns Talks of Two Covts. ROW 300 CASES AHEAD. Wot as Many Damage Suits This Year. Thi time for filing suits for the October term of the circuit court passed with a swish and a whir that made itself knewn to every one in tha court house. For a week before the close of the time things wore dull and it seemed that the ufuial end run would be missing.

On Thursday, however, eighteen suits wer filed, and on Friday ten or twelve cam in. The business of these two days filled up the docket and brought business fo Judge Johns, who is already overloaded cases. MAY BE TWO COURTS. Judge Johns is more energetic than most of the judges of the circuit court He intends to clear the docket, which i years behind. He himself) IB Interested In some cases, and he is talking abou holding- court in the county court room while Judge Fhilbrlck the cases in which he Ig interested In the clrcui court room.

Whether he will do this i a question. There are many objections The chief opponents of the plan ar Judge O. W. Smith of the county court County Clerk J. M.

Dodd and Clrcui Cierk John Allen, all of whom the 'field ing of court in two places would incon venlence. Judga Smith objects stremt ously. He hag gome business every especially probate business, anJ needs the room for that work. On the other hand, Judge Johns says he will occupy the room only a few days, during which Judge Smith could take a vacation. Th county court docket is as clear as It can be, while there are over 300 cases on the circuit docket.

No little excuses for delay will be received, and every case will be tried -when it comes up unless some good reason is offered. NEW OCTOBER RECORD. The number of new cases for the Octo. ber term Is greater than that for previous term, and the total num ber of cases on the docket is also greater than at any previous time. Many of the cases are small and will require little time, but some will be contested hotly.

The total number of new cases is 138; the total number on the docket for the October term, 800; 100 of the cases on the Jocket are chancery cases, 165 common law cases, and thirty-five people's cases. The divorce cases number thirty-eight against about forty-five or fifty last year and forty-four last term. There are fewer chancery cases and more comon law cases than usual. Mai damage suits have been filed, but few are against large corporations. The to tal amount of the suits against the railroad companies and the city Is about J25.000, against about $330,000 last year.

The reason for this reduction, accorJing to one well known lawyer, is merely the fluctuation common in law cases. There is no reason why the damage suits should be fewer this year than last year, a the number may be unusually large at the next term of court, Almost all the damage suits were for small amounts compared with the sums asked by some in former years. The biggest damage case It one which asks $10,000 from the Wabash railroad for the killing of a man at the Jasper street crossing. The Illinois Central company is the defendant in four cases, which amount in all to about $9,000. The city has only one damage case on its hands, Mrs.

Dowd's Significant Warning to Mothers of Growing Girls. "Mothers cannot be too careful of girls who are approachiug womanhood," says Mrs. D. F. Dowd, of Nepbi Citv, Utah.

She speaks from the fullness of experience, for her own trouble began with the first critical time of Uer life. "From the time I was years old," she ways, I Buffered constantly from female weakness and my present good health is dne entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as you will see. I caught cold," she continued, "at a critical time and endured tortures as a consequence. My color becanio bad, I was nervous and grew oonstnutly worse.

Then I began to hnve palpitation of the heartandniy blood became in auretched condition. I felt tired and languid all the time and was hardly able to get around at my work. "None of the medicines that I tried madeanydiffereuceiu my health. I was nearly discouraged when I heard from wyuuclo, Mr.J.Brandou, Logoch, Manitoba, telling me that ha had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with the greatest benefit for nervousness.

Then I decided to try them myself, with the result that, after taking two boxes, I found I was much better. A few boxes more made me feel like an entirely different person and uow I am able to do my work with ease. All my friends know what good Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have done for me." Any woman -who ailing with the troubles peculiar to her sex should try Dr. Williams'Pink Pillsfor Pale People.

Every one' was kept huBtllng to serve the papers before midnight. Even then one or two, which had been filed at the last minute-, were missed. The Milwaukee Fapier-MacHe company had Cited a suit for 1300 against Harry C. Niblock, alleging trespass on case on promises. Niblock was out of town and the sheriff could not find hi r.

so case will have to go over till the next term. Some new cases were filed late Friday afternoon and evening-. George WeJSt, through Ills attorney. J. M.

Gray, asks for an accounting from Augustine Walt, Clarence A. Walt and Arthur Walt. The plaintiff states in his bill that he formed a partnership with tho defendants to run a wholesale and retail meat snop, which to bo known as tin 1 Arcadt Market. He was to put In half the and was to receive half the profits anrt bear half the loss. He says he Jid nil of this.

He further alleges that Mr. Wait and his sons sold the business to Young Suesaens without his consent or knowledge. He says that at the time of the sale there wera some outstanding bills, which the Walts have since collected. DIVORCES. Mrs.

Susan Can- has, through her attorney, D. D. Hill, filed a bill of divorce against her husband, Thaddeus S. Carr. The bill states that Mrs.

Carr was mar. rled to her husband on June 19, 1S88. At that time she had three children by a former marriage. Those children arc now grown up and married. Carr haJ a little girl, Minnie, by a formor marriage.

BUSIEST MBN IN TOWN. Home of the Work of the Pollen This Week. T.he busiest people in town during the past week have been the policemen. Though the force was much increased this week, it wag at times inadequate. Twelve extra men mere working, and the regular forc spent about fifteen hours a day protecting the city.

Chief Da Sullivan has been busier than any other man on the force. He has had to be )n half a dozen places at once, and though 1 he succeeded pretty well he has had little time to eat or sleep. Thursday, the day of the circus, he left his faouse at 5:30 o'clock in the morning and returned at 1:30 the next morning. slept about four hours and! was down at headquarters again at 6 o'clock Friday morning.

VIP, I i wo can make some "in of I In job." Nearly every one who has catarrh knows how foolish it is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Temporary relief may be given, but a cure seldom comes. Until recently yotir physician would have said the only way to cure catarrh would be to have a change of climate; but now with Hyomei you can carry a health giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few minutes four times a day soon cure yourself.

The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo- mei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. H. W.

Bell has sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more he sells the more convinced he is that he is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to ref the money it Hyomei does not cure. Strongest Evidence of Faith. H. W. Bell Guarantees That Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh in Decatur.

When one of the most reputable concerns in Decatur guarantees that a medicine will effect a cure or he will refund the money, it speaks volames as to the merits of that remedy. It is in this way that H. W. Bell is selling Hyomei, the treatment that has made so many remarkable cures of both acute and chronic catarrh in Decatur and vicinity. Hyomei is not a pill nor is it a Hyomei will do its work of healing.

When using this treatment, the air you breathe will be found like that on the mountains high above the sea level, where grow balsamic trees and plants which make the air p.irc, by off volatile antiseptic fragrance that is healing to the respiratory organs. A complete Hyomei i costs but and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Remember a if Hyomei does not cure you, H. Bell i refund your money. This is a good time to "cure catarrh by i a a method and prevent catarrhal colds that arc so common at i season.

Cures Catarrh liquid that has to be taken with a tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid of an inhaler that comes in every outfit and benefit will be seen from the first treatment. It destroys all germ life in the air passages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. It cures catarrh of the head and throat, or of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem- irane contains catarrhal germs, there, "Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for Catarrh Ever Discovered," Says H.

W. Bell. Do not try to cure a a a ing drugs into the it a be cured in that manner. The only way in winch this too common disease can be cured is through a direct application that will i the bacilli of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that accomplishes this.

I is the simplest, most pleasant, and the only absolute cure for catarrh that has ever been discovered. Thousands of unsolicited testimonials have been received from the most prominent men and wornen in the country who have been cured by this remarkable remedy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even i physicians have given strong testimonials as to the remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but consisting of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will effect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer use may be necessary, and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for SQC.

It is not alone the best (it might be called the only) method of curing catarrh, but it is also the most economical. H. W. Bell hns so much confidence the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that he will for a limited time, sell this medicine tinder his personal guarantee to refund the money if the purchasers can say that it did not iclp them.
