TOPEKA, Nov. 3.-The report that the
settlers are returning from the Arkansas
Valley, In Southern Kansas, Is wholly
without foundation. On the contrary the
people In that section are thoroughly con.

Office in Southern Kansas during Septem.

A special 10 the Courier.Journal from
Harrodsburg, KY, states that John 8.
Nansford, an old and respected citizen,
died after short illness recently, ol what
was supposed to be aux. During his III.
ness linseed oil was recommended by his
friends, and the doctor wrote prescrip.
ton for a small quantity, TO be taken in
ternally, which was put up at the drug
store Of Win, Payne u Co. After
taking the first dose, the patient was
suffering severely, becoming delerious and
calling Tor water. he died apparently In
great agony. His wife afterwards taking
up bottle of supposed linseed oil found
It to be croton oil, which she had admin.
istered. The fatal mistake created great
excitement in the community, and It Is
reported that the widow Of the deceased
s,brought q suit against the druggist for
10000 damages. Both parties are high.

where husband and wife were sued, for an
account against the vile only, she being

Of fact was left to Jury, but the jury
were instructed that the goods having
been charged to the wife, she alone was
prima .tdeie liable, although the charge
was open to explanation. II the husband

then he was liable, but otherwise not
The Jury found verdict that the husband
was not responsible for the bill, and this
the Court affirmed. There are large
numbers Of married women who con-
duct business on their own account in
this and other cities, and who in this
way manage to earn y living or at least
TO assist in supporting themselves
whilst In some cases they are also able by
this method to support their children, and
sometimes their husbands also. Its quite
important that these Industrious women
should DO thoroughly protected in theiI

but the legal enactments on the subject
and the common law rules In reference Il
the mutual relations oi husband and wife
arc SO intricate and 90 frequently modified
that 1t Is quite advisable for married
women going into business to get good
legal advice upon the subject. In thii
State such businesS and the earnings from
1t are protected by law. On the othel
hand, Il a married woman engage in trade
and, like too many who make mercantile
ventures, loses money and Is unable L
