THE latest theory concerning Bnght's dis
ease and other affections Of the kidneys is
that they are due to the immoderate use Of
ice water and other chilled beverages. Thirty
or forty years ago, a physician asserts. when
people slaked their thirst with fresh water
from well or pump, kidney disease was vir-
tually unknown. Now, however, the general
use of ice in every household and saloon. ard
the multiplication OF soda fountains cause
thousands Of persons TO abruptly shock their
heated internal organs with freezing draughts
and kidney troubles are prevalent.

The Clarks0n Divorce Suit.

Judge Lubke Tuesday decided the
celebrated divorce case of James l.
Clarkson VS.. Martha Jennie Clarkson
giving the husband a divorce, but
awarding the custody of the children
to the wife. The case reached the st.
Louis Court on change of venue from
Iron County, and occupied ten days in
its trial, Chas. p. johnson representing
the husband and Joseph g. Lodge the
wife. The ground upon which the &C
ton was based was that the wife has
offered her husband such indignities as
to render his condition intolerable.
The Judge states that after weighing
all the evidence, he is persuaded that
the plaintiff has established the ground
of divorce. alleged in the bill, and that
the parties can never become reconciled.
The children, however, he gives to the
defendant, not that the plaintiff is I'M
fit to have their custody. but because
he believes that it will be to their adj
vantage to be with their mother. The
witnesses all agreed that she had been
devoted to them and studied their well
fare at all times. A decree is then or
dered entered in all accordance with
the above statement. and a further de-
cree ordering the plaintiff to pay to the
defendant $50 per month for the main
tenance of the children, beginning Aug.
LIST next. The plaintiff is granted leave
to move for an order permitting him to
visit the children if parties can not
come to an agreement in the premises.

To Test the Civil Service Law.

The testing of the constitutionality
of the civil service law is growing
idea with a number of persons who are
not only opposed to the, measure, but
believe that it will not stand the test
before the highest judicial tribunal.
This view is concurred in by number
of officials who are not charged with
not faithfully executing the law. At
least one member of Arthur's' Cabinet,
who helped to frame the rules now in
operation, doubted very much whether
their operation was not contrary to the
Constitution. Reasons accumulate for
looking for contest next winter over
the law, its advocates being opposed
by two factionS-one for it's total re-
peal, another for it's material modifica-
ton. Recent occurrences are likely to
bring the Commissioners under fire, if
half of what is threatened is attempted.
The latest charge against them is "of-
fensive partisanship," which is grated
upon q prior one against the Chairman
of discriminating in favor of Republic
ans in putting candidates in the ser
vice. In plain terms, it is charged that
Republican who was examined only
twenty days before was put to work
when a Democrat, with his certificate,
had waited two years, and still waits.

Pennington Times: Last Thurs
day afternoon seven or eight strangers
arrived in our town and strolled about
the streets. They were not as close
mouthed as they might have been, land
by six o'clock it was rumored over
town that they were from Cape Girar-
deau county, and were the advance
guard of a lynching expedition that
would arrive on horseback during the
night, for the avowed purpose of taking
the Cape Girardeau county black ffend
from OR Jail and meeting out to him
swift death. Later on in the evening
the avengers went out the Jackson
road to meet the men who were COM
ing on horseback. In the meantime
the Sheriff and guard took the negro
from Jail and hied away to the woods
or some other hiding place. The men
on horseback, however, didn't come,
and the forerunners of the lynching
expedition returned to town, and left
that night or the next morning by rail.
On Friday afternoon the Sheriff receiv-
ed information that they hadn't given
up the idea, but were in Fredericktown
awaiting the arrival of the men on
horseback, and that an attempt would
be made that night to take the negro
from Jail. Before ten O'Clock, however,
he had spirited the negro off to De
Lassus station, where he took the train
for st. Louis with his troblesome
charge. But again the men on horse
back failed to materialize, and the
lecherous brute is now safe behind the
walls Of the st. Louis Jail. If there
was any real intention to mob the ne
gro, the men who intended to do the
work managed the affair very stu
pidly."
