The plaintiff is DR.. William D. Haines,
of Freeman avenue, and the defendant
is Abraham Mann, contractor who
lives on the Warsaw pike. Price Hill.
The doctor sues to recover $500 for med
ical services.
The facts are interesting. Two years
age DIR. Haines was called in to attend
A eoLoRED WOMAN
Named Mary Johnson, who was sick
in bed with consumption. He called
regularly twice day, but the disease
had such hold on the woman that she
died. The doctors bill was $500, but
there was no one to pay it. He inquired
around, and was told by more than one ::
why don't you collect it from her hus-
band, Charlie Johnson" AS the latter
was a white man the doctor paid no at
tention, until the evidence that the
woman was married was so convincing
that he appeared before Squire Hauser
and entered suit. Clerk Frank Doss-
man was engaged to look into the ease,
He found that the. dead woman had

BERLIN, May 1S.-Whilet the greatest
secrecy is maintained IN regard to the
proceedings OF the Samoan conference, it
may be stated that, excepting a few minor
points yet to be determined, the work of
the commission is over. AS nearly as can
be learned. the American commissioners
have succeeded in carrying every import
ant point they set out to obtain; indeed so
prevalent Is this feeling that the Berlin
press and other influential papers in Ger
many complain of the success of the
Americans. It. is also more than likely
that the commission has decided in favor
of the absolute Independence OF Samoa,
80 soon as the people there demonstrate
their ability to go alone. The indemnity
question is yet to come up; it may pro-
long the meeting some weeks; but it is
believed to be the only point on which
there is likely to be a serious contest.

BismaIck,s Significant Remark.

BERLIN, May l8.-In the reichstag to-
day. when the aged workmen's insurance
bill came up Tor third reading, Prince Bis
marck made an acrid speech; he said he
Freisinpize partv and and Poles 5oH ' onnoseJ the tbe
bill. but he had not expected the Con-
s~orvatives would assume a hostile attitude
toward proposals affecting the innermost
depths of the whole empire; in conclud-
ing he said: Il wish the bill disposed of
before the next election, for no one knows
whether we shall have as much leisure
next year as now."

MARINE NEWS.

R65~Dick Keenan,, the Rock Springs
ssloou keeper who has twice assaulted
Norman B. Dresser, a newspaper man
vastly his physical inferior, once threat
ened to do up my friend Rev. D. l..
RAIDER, who is a pretty good chunk of a
man Himself. Mr.. Radei sent the fighter
word that he did not propose to be whip
ped by anyone, On second thought Kec-
nan concluded that he hadn't better tackle
the cheyenne clergyman.
RaySaml. Atkinson, the efficient dep
uty county clerk, has spent several years
in real estate Offices and is familiar with
the tricks of the trade. He tells OF a Chi
cago man who bought a lot in a good To-
cation, reduced its dimensions to inches,
gave it a name and proceeded to market,
by plat, lots 1924 inches, taxing care to
always leave out the word inches. OF
course there was a lusty roar when pur.
chasers discovered that streets in the sub
division we're ten inches wide aud alleys
five. The shrewd schemer was arrested
for fraud, but escaped punishment. In
Denver UpDrincipal sharks have done this:
With a Villa Park addition plat they bave
sold lots in plain Villa Park, which was
ten miles nearer New Mexico than the
addition.
Ba~Tom Crhtenden desired the ser
vices Of a doctor of divinity the other
day and approached Rev. S. A. Bright
in this style: Mister, are you the local
expounder of the gospel for this com
munity2" Now the popular divine's in
Inmates slyly call him the local ~expounder
of the gospel. Crittenden, who is a coed
hearted man, in conversation constantly
reminds one of the newly appointed
army officer, who reaching a steep hill ad-
vised his staff to "dismount preparatory
to descending the decliYitY."
Ras~ During his lengthy career in The
army Capt. Bennett of the 18th has had
some funny experiences. When march
ing through Texas once he was accus
toned to slaughterinC range beeves, keep
ing a record of the brands, and afterward
settling with the owner. A German SER
geant detailed as butcher kept the brand
books with unerring fidelity, for he
simply carved the marks from the hides
and removed disfgured ears until he had
a wagon load of the scraps. When G. +.
Wurtele was superintendent Of the Wy
oming division he once instructed Swede
roadmaster to secure for a report, the
numbers of all the bridges and c%ulverts
in his district. The ruddy blonde obeyed
orders to the letter, for he sent a car load
of number boards to the Cheyenne office.
The numbers were bolted to heavy tim
bers but the industrious Swede had re-
moved every one of them.

The Day After the Battle.

NEW York, May lS.-On opening
this morning Oregon Transcontinental
stock went up one half per cent. The
squeeze Of shorts in that stock still kept
the chief interest in it, and Immediately
after opening, it began to rise rapidly and
touched SIS, an advance of 20 per cent
from last evenings price. From this was
a recession even more rap id than the ad-
vance, and the starting point was reached
on the back track in less than ten minutes.
At the highest figure there was a flood of
stock offered, and the price dropped 5 per
cent at a time to 40. 1t later sold at 80,
but there was a demand for many thou
sand shares at that figure, and it quickly
moved back to 43, and at the close sold
at 40.
The unlocked for discovery Of a big
short interestin the Oregon T-ranscoutiuen
tai made the brokers anxious about short
account in other stocks, and fears were
everywhere expressed that the entire
market was heavily oversold. This feel
ing was increased by the course of the st.
Paul preferred, which advanced 5 per
sent OF an attempt to cover short stock.
The buying fever extended to Atchison
and orders to cover shorts in that stock
caused 1t to advance sharply. Burlington
moved up 2 per cent; Rock Island follow
ed. The entire bear contingent left the
street anxious about the future and they
wait for Mondays opening with fear and
trembling.
At Wizards office everything appeared
quiet, in marked contrast to the excite
ment at the stock exchange. Willard was
not down. His private secretary explained
the excitement on the street was an out
side matter with which Willard had moth
ing to do. The fight for the control of
stock at the election was over and Willard
had 30, 1000 shares out of a total OF 400,-
600. He added there will be nothing new
IN the affairs of the company until the
election at Portland, Oregon, in June.
The other party, to which belong Elijah
Smith, Sidney Dillon. Frederick L. Ames
and other ~well-kDown fnanciers, claim
they hold a majority Of the stock; that
Willard cannot possibly vote Dol, 700
shares unless he has issued some of the
remaining $40, 600, 900 of treasury stock,
in spite of the injunction. The opposi-
ton issued a Joint call for proxies this
morning.
The EUening Post says the corner was
undoubtedly brought about unintentially.
Primarily the contest for the control of
the property is responsible for it. Many
of the biggest houses in the street thought
when buying for control was over, the
price would fall back, and they considered
selling it for delivery after the closing of
books a safe speculation. This is what
they did and they now find that all the
floating stock has been bought for cleo
ton purposes and the owners of it do
not intend to part with it at present: the
shorts in fact cornered them selves.

Be the use of spirits excessive or mod
crate, the ultimate result is the same. 1t
is merely a question of time. The final
struggle is at the brain, and the Algerian
poison is always the victor. Exhileration
from excessive use initiates indigestion,
loss of appetite, quenchless thirst, mental
oppression, horrible hanucinations and
desires and a failing mind which termi.
mates in utter idiocy and death if the
physical powers do not sooner succumb.
Moderately used, the course of the drug
is In the same line but more slowly.
Nerves of motion become uncertain,
strength fades away, tissues fail, restless
sleep is filled with horrible fancies, and
paralysis gradually extends over the dying
