PROBABILITY THAT TERM WILL BE A SHORT ONE. ]Grafid Jury Sworn In—Little Business Will Be Done Un- = til Tomorrow. The spring term of district court for Beltrami county was opened at the court house in Be- midji this morning with 58 eivil and 14 criminal cases on the cal- endar, by Deputy Sheriff John Bailey. The roll of the grand jury was called and all the members was found to be present. . They were afterwards aworn in by Judge McClenahan, who is now in charge. After the members had been sworn in, the grand jury re- tired to its rooms, where John Graham was elected foreman. Fred Wilson of Tenstrike was ap pointed deputy in charge. The court then took up the call of the calendar, and a num- ber of cases which have been set- tled out-of court were stricken from the calendar, which was considerably cut down. This in- dicates that the term will bea short one unless the grand jury brings in a large batch of indict- ments, which is not expected to happen.

Smithérman, a good citizen of this place, came to the store for medicine,”” says Dr. Parnell, of Maplesville, Ala. “He was so hoarse that he could hardly talk and said that he had coughed all the night before. I sold him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and told him that if it 1id not relieve him he might bring the bottle back and get his money.
