B. Cargill, James z. Taylor, Alex Steel and
Day. Don, heard testimony as to the mental
condition Of Mrs. Hannah G. Osborn, wife
of Fred Osborn, Osborn Station, this coun-

insane; Drs. Craig and Vincent, 1.-THE latter,
physician to the Osborne's) made the ex
animation The first symptoms were noticed
about the middle of December last, the
most marked on the Gath of that month on
which occasion Mr.. Osborn left for Rock
Island, and his wife became possessed OF
the notion that he was going to leave her,
that he would never return, and she SO
told her children.
Mr.. o. returned that evening to find her
in state of great mental alteration and a
few days after called in DR. Vincent, under
whose treatment she began to rally and at
one time she seemed out of danger, but
about ten doys ago she began to decline,
getting worse each day until finally it was
found necessary to make application for
her admission TO Jacksonville
DR.. Vincent thinks the lunacy only
temporary; that with proper care she will
recover her entire reason in few months
The ARGUS hopes this will be the result
and extends sympathy to Mr.. Osborne il

How Could They Examine TT

says:
We are told that every Catholic
priest who has examined the plan OF or

Catholic as we are) we declare there is
nothing in it inconsistent with church rules
or good citizenship.
The ARGUS has as much respect for
one church as another and believes good
Catholics live up to church rules as
carefully as any other class of people;
and it is to this class we direct the follow

Do you believe 'the organ" was ever
