MANI A RECEIVER.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Argument was heard
today, before Judge Gresham in the fed
eral court, on the application of certain
bondholders for receiver for the Chicago
& Atlantic railroad. which is the western
connection of the Erie road. Some time
ago decree of foreclosure and sale of the
property was entered. From this decree
certain interests appealed to the supreme
court of the United States, and the present
application for receiver is made pending
decision of the questions at issue in that
court.
Judge Gresham said he would not do
anything in the premises at present. The
appointment of receiver was an extreme
remedy and should not be resorted to IN
less absolutely necessary. He suggested
that the lawyers consult together and Sc
lect some men whom they would like for
the office and hand the names into court,
for use in case the appointment of re-
ceiver should be decided on A recess was
then taken until tomorrow.

THE SUGDEN WILL CASE.

SEDALIA, No., May 1.-THE famous
Sugden will case, which has been in the
courts of this county for several years past,
was disposed of today in the circuit court
Judge Field presiding-the jury bring
ing in verdict in favor of Mary Sugden
Rudy, breaking the will.
-Four years ago George Sugden, noted
character of this city, and miser, died,
LEAVING IN estate valued at $4,000. He left
one child, Mary Sugden, a woman of So
years. BY the terms of his will Samuel
Sugden, his nephew, succeeded to
the property unless the daughter married
and brought forth children. In no case
was the daughter to secure possession of
the property, however, as the old man and
his only child had been estranged for
many years, and had sworn that she
should never have the privilege OF enjoy
ing the wealth boarded by MIN.
The daughter employed counsel, and,
after warm contest, the will was admit
ted to probate An appeal was taken to
the circuit court for the purpose Of having
the viii set aside on the ground that Sug-
den was insane. Two years
ago Mary married f4rmer
named Daniel Rudy, of Lamonte,
but no children resulted from the union.
Three months ago Rudy brought suit for
divorce on the ground that ''his wife made
his home hell on earth" and the case is
now pending in the circuit court.
The will case had been postponed from
time to time, until Monday last, when
both sides announced themselves ready for
trial. The party was composed or farm
ers-representative men in every respect.
Eminent counsel were on both sides ana
the court room was crowded daily by in
terested spectators. The case was given
30 the jury last night and verdict was re-
turned this afternoon.
The dead miser was an Englishman by
birth, who made his home in Sedalia for
many years. He permitted his only
brother to die a miserable death in the
Pettis county poor house, and to atone for
the inhuman act it is alleged that he dis
inherited his only child in order to make
wealthy man Of Sam Sugden, the son Of
the dead pauper,
An appeal viii be taken to the supreme
court.

THE BUCKET SHOP WAR,

CHICAGO, May IL - The resolutions
passed Tuesday by the board of directors
of the board of trade that the public quo
tation service be withdrawn at the close of
this month is the subject of much COM
ment and there is marked divergence of
opinion as to whether the result will be
beneficial to the board. The so-called
bucket shop firms claim to have rights
to receive the quotations, which have been
sustained by a permanent injunction
granted by the supreme court to one of
their number. They threaten legal pro-
ceedings against the board Of trade if de-
prived of the quotations, and the pros
poets seem good for u tremendous legal
fight.
The Inter Ocean says: Those were found
yesterday who claimed TO know the true
inwardness of the boards action. The
statement was made that the withdrawal
OF the public service was instigated by the
Western UnionTelegraph company who de-
sired a monopoly on quotations, to be sold
afterward at high price to who would
take them. Color was lent TO this by do
iugs at the stock yards The telegraph

HE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had
queer experience. He writes:
"Carbuncles and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle
OF one of the leading sarsaparillas. To my
surprise 1t made matters worse. This made
me lose faith in sarsaparillas, but seeing a
statement that Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
dried up boils and face eruptions instead Of
forcing more out as the potash sarsaparillas
do, / bought bottle. The effect was aston
ishing. Thecarbunclesa and boils began to dry
up, and In two weeks my face was swell and
smooth as ever. My brother also took bottle
with the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,
''Petaluma, Cal. Z"
Explanatory Note-The mineral iodide OF
potash, which is the basis of nearly all other
sarsaparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the skin, creating
more boils and pimples. joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter
atives stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through the
natural channels, hence dries uD pimples and
skin eruptions at once. The above tsstimon-
isl is case in point
