A LARGE JURISDICTION.
The supreme court has taken a
new departure recently in the hear
ins of an areument on a demurrer
taken on appeal from this district, in
the case of the State against Ed
Martin. There are perhaps some
niceties of the law that may, might or
could be decided in the case; but
why take the time of the supreme
court, that ha9 plenty of business an
guishing for its attention, to get an
opinion on these-hair-splitting quil
lets of practice and procedure ?
Martin is in default, being dead.
The process of the court cannot be
served on him, nor its judgment exe
cuted. Between his body and the
court the clods that cover alike his
viitnea and his vices, lie si.'ent, but
all powerful. No bailiff can enter
his peaceful abode; no sheriff may
bhackle, no mandate move that in
animate clay. For him there is no
terror of imprisonment, no fear of
punishment; he is alike beyond the
power of earthly courts to convict or
acquit. The grave has settled that.
and Death, from whom there is no
appeal, has assumed a jurisdiction
which even the supreme court of this
great coinmonweath may not dispute.
Why then waste time in trying de
murrers or motions, or anything
concerning him, or his? Why de
vote days to metaphysical discussion
that this or that shade of microscop
ical distinction of criminal nomen
clature may be established for future
guidance in other abstruse discus
sions of legal wtll-o'-the wisps? Over
in ihe beyond Martin rests secure, at
least, from interference by our courts
here, and if the common opinion con
cerning the legal fraternity is correct,
tolerably safe from them in the here
after. Time was when the grave ended
ciiminal litigation, but the supreme
court of this state has dived deep
and brought up a subject rmttter
from beyond it. It is time, high
time, that the number of our supreme
judges lie increased. With their at
tention devoted exclusively to affairs
of the living, it will take it two
years to catch up with its work, but
n ow that it has come to judge the
dead, who is there shall say when the
end shad be?
Janus Las found his prototype en
sconced under the great dome at
Salem, one face turned toward the
future, ready to judge that which is
yet to be; one turned to the past to
judge that which has been, but is not
It is sincerely to be hoped, for the
standing of our supreme court, that
the rulings of the court below may
be sustained, else how with the man
date shall the supreme court return
the prisoner into the jurisdiction of
the original court? Without juris
diction of the person, how may the
lower court proceed? We do not
even hnzard a guess, but respectfully
refer all who may oare to calculate
the result, to one King Canute and
his tilt with the sea.

is one of the most far-seeing and able
editorial writers of the age. If he

greater benefit to the whole country
than anything which has occurred
since the organization of our govern

concessions from every section can
the peace of the great whole be main

few yean ago a wave of La Grippe
wept over the land and brought thousands
of its victims to the grave. Others who es
caped the fate lived on in sorrow and suffer
ing, broken in health and spirit.
Terrible as was U.e disease, its after effects
were yet more appalling, as it sought out the
weaknesses of the constitution and left thou
sands shattered wrecks of their former selves.
A few days ago a Courier-Herald represen
tative, while at the thriving little town of
Akron. Mich met John L. Smith, a veteran
of the industrial army, on whose aged head
the diseasft had fallen, and he heard him tell
how be had suffered and what had given
mm reuei.
We can do no better than quote his own
words, which are as follows: "About
seven years ago I was taken down with the
' Grip, and it fastened on me very bard.
For about half the winter I was so bad that I
could not leave the house. I was chilly all
tne time, ana could not get warm. 1 felt as
if I was frozen solid, and could only breathe
witn great aimculty.
' 1 his condition alternated with sweating
pells of great violence. There was an al
most continuous pain, and it would shoot
irom one part or my Doay to another, with
great suddenness, and cause me intense suf
fering. Sometimes it was in my hips, then
in my legs, and again it would go to my
neaa ana pain me in the eyes, it was so in
tense that it even affected my sight.
"I called in medical assistance, but this
was fruitloss, as I received no benefit from
physicians. From then on I tried various
preparations that were recommended to nle,
but they did me no good, and my condition
was as bad and painful as it was before I
tried them.

Williams' Fink Pills for Pale People, and I
read with much interest of the wonderful
cures that they had effected in so many
cases. I had tried so many proprietary prep
arations that I had no faith in it, but tried
it, as I had so many other things, to see if
they were of any use.
" One day when I was feeling as bad as
usnal, I got a box of Pink Pills, and shortly
before going to bed I took one pill. I cannot
tell you what a surprised man I was next
morning. Then 1 put on my shoes with ease,
a thing that I had not done for forty years.
A little while after this I was so well that I
drove to Bay Cityj Michigan, a distance of
twenty-three nines, ana was not at all urea
when I got there.
" I am now seventy-six years of age and
unusually active tor a man of my years. I
, work on my forty-acre farm and experience
no trouble from the work. I want to say a
good word for Pink Pills, as they helped me
where all else did no good whatever. . Since
my illness and cure a number of my neigh-
Dors have used them, ana say that they have
been greatly benefited."
Mrs. Smith, the veteran's wife, who sat
near by, confirmed the words that her hus
band had spoken and added her testimony
to the good that the pills had been to the
family. The worthy couple are old and re
spected residents of Tuscola County, where
they hare lived for thirty years. Mr. Smith
is a sturdy pioneer, and cleared up a 200
acre farm near Akron. He yet lives there,
surrounded by twelve of his thirteen chil
dren. Thanks to Pink Pills, he has a pros
pect of many years of usefulness.
Another sufferer with the same malady was
Neil Raymond, a prosperous and leading
farmer, residing near Columbiaville, Lapeer
Co., Michigan. Speaking to a representative
of The Courier-JIerald, Mr. Raymond said :
" Three years ago last June, one night I suf
fered an attack of paralysis, brought on, I
think, by overwork and as an after effect of
la grippe. After a week my condition was
so Dad that I summoned a physician and
doctored for about six months, with but little
relief. For some time I had seen in the
papers reported cures of cases similar to
mine effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills '
and thought I would try them. I bought a
box and continued their use with good re
suits. I soon began to gain in strength and
health and felt the good effect of the Pills.
" They were the first things that had been
able to give me relief. They have been of
great benefit to me and I can strongly recom
mend them to anyone suffering from
paralysis."
The case of another veteran lm mma Ia
the attention of this paper and it is here given:
When, in 1861, the fate of our Union hung
trembling in the balance, and President
Lincoln issued his famous call for volun
teers to go to the front and fight for its pres
ervation, an immediate response swept over
the North like a tidal wave, and regiment
after regiment of brave boys in blue quickly
sprang up from every quarter. Unmindful
of the privations of a soldier's life, and the
horrors of war, they shouldered their
muskets and marched to the front to battla
for their country.
Among the first to answer the call was E.
G. Matthews, who enlisted as a member of
Company D, 103d Ohio Infantry, and who
fought bravely until the close of the great
struggle. Mr. Matthews now lives with his
wife and family of six children and grand
children on his farm near Akron, Tuscola
County, Michigim. While in the ranks he
contracted inflammatory rheumatism and
this developed into a trouble that remained
with him for over thirty years. He finrlly
became cured of it and to a representative
of the Courier-Herald he spoke of his case
as follows:
"During the late war I was a member of
Company D, 103d Oliio Infantry, and per
formed all the duties incident to a soldier's
life from 1862 to 1865. While at the front
owing to the privations of our soldier life, I
contracted inflammatory rheumatism, and
this finally developed into a Dermanent form
of rheumatism, that has always troubled me
since tnat time. When l was mustered oat
in 1865 I went back to Ohio to the place
where I enlisted and was laid up there in
bed for 12 weeks. I then got out for a short
time and was asain laid ud for a lone snell.
Since then I have been a victim of these at
tacks and they have laid me up for much of
iae lime.
My case was also complicated b
aey t
fled the best medical skill. I have tried
kid i
)V severe
troubles and other diseases that baf-
many physicians and also proprietary arti
cles of all kinds that were said to be rood far
suoh troubles as mine. In my search for
health I spent hundreds of dollars, but it
seemed to he all in vain, and nothing seemed
io reacn my irouDie ana give me relief.
About a year apo a friend advised me to trr
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although I
had no faith in them. I boutrht a box and be
gun to take them. After I had begun on the
third box a great change in my condition be
gan to appear, and my trouble for over thirty
years' standing began to be cured. I took
four boxes more and then felt so well that 1
discontinued their use.
" I am now able to work on my farm and
have no fear of the old trouble coming back
as long as I can get a box of Pink Pills. My
case was a particularly deep seated one. of
long standing, and so I want to let others
who are afflicted as I was. know the benefit
that these Pink Pills for Pale People have
been to me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailiug
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing
forms of weakness arisini? from a wnterv
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
