Ellen Higgins, OF Manlus township,
but some time ago his wife died and he
placed his little daughter, Ella May
ReardOn, now five years old, In the
care Of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Hig-
gins, until he could make other pro-
vision for her accommodation. Hav-
ing recently remarked, he now files a
petition for hdbeds corpus for the pos
session OF his child, alleging the facts
as above stated, and that he has upon
several occasions gone to the home of
Mrs. Higgins and her daughter In
Manleus and demanded his daughter,
but has been refused her custody, upon
the last occasion being threatened
with violence II he persisted in his at
tempts to secure her. The presump-
ton is that, like all grandmothers,
Mrs. Higgins has become greatly at
tached to the child and naturally re-
sisted ReardOn's demands. The petit
ton was hears by Judge Blanchard at
a late hour and granted, the writ being
made returnable on Wednesday at
1880 p. m.

T6Decial COrrespondence. |

WALDO, Fla, Oct. "a, 'S9.-Our beau.
tiful autumn weather has set in, and
only those familiar with Florida can
appreciate the mild, comfortable eli
mate possible at this season of the year.
Constant sunshine invites to outdoor
exercises, while cool nights render
sleeping a luxury. Late peaches can
still be had, as also the Keiffer pear,
the Japan persimmOn 1.-THE most lus-
ciOus fruit grown in America) and
early ripe oranges. The trouble with
most people who have tasted the Kaki
(prOper name for Japan persimmOn) is
that they do not wait for it to thorough
ly ripen. While it does not possess in
its green state the stringent properties
of the native fruit, yet until it is
thoroughly soft and "mushy," it lacks
the characteristic and pleasing flavor
for which the fruit is especially noted.
At present our farmers are busy with
their sugar cane and cotton crops.
Every farmer here makes his own sup
ply of syrup for the year to come as
much as the Northern Illinois farmer
would mis- supply of pork. The cotton
staple" as it is indifferently called, for
d ulOuCy CIOp, III COulIccuiOu WIFI Ills
oranges. Only Of late years, however,
has the native farmer concluded that
there was money in oranges" The
yankees in Florida largely control the
orange growing BUSINESS.
Corn, cOrn-fOdder, crab-graSs hay, rye,
oats, peanuts, cassava millet, sweet
potatoes, tobacco etc, are also farm
products grown more or less on every
farm. Cattle, hogs and sheep are plen-
tiful, and raising horses and mules is
a business commanding increased at
tention and yielding large profits.
The strawberry business Is lust now
in full blast-nOt the picking and ship
ping of the fruit, but the cultivation
and stimulation of the vines needs to
be closely attended to for the next six
weeks, and has been going forward the
past two months.
Everything and everybody are now
active, vigorous and pushing, as the
time for making most money with the
fruit and vegetable truck-farmer is
from now until next July. Then will
come the summer resting spell. The
farmer can take trip off to the noun
tainS and Northern resorts, or to at
tend to his Northern business if he
chooses. Many of our most successful
truckers do just that way, and never
spend summer in Florida. Others
declare the summers here so pleasant
that there is no temptation to waste
money going off North.
There is no special news from any
of the former Ottawa people now locat- |
ed in Florida. They are all well and
doing well so far as / know.

THE INoURABLp CURED.
A Remarkable statement from Well
Known Citizen Of south Carolina.

Cancer Is hereditary In my family.
an aunt on each side having died from
this dreadful disease. In each instance
the cancer was located in identically
the same position that mine first made
It's appearance-just below the left eye
and extending down the left cheek
bone and nose. / was attended by the
best physicians, but the case con.
tinued to grow worse under theil
treatment, and no hope of u cure could
be given by them; they said III had
better have my affairs for this life and
the next arranged, for the cancer was
liable to strike u vital organ at any
moment, and at once bleed me Ia
death. About this time-lSS6-I met
with Mr.. Shirley, living near Due
West, whose cancer was being rapidly
cured by using Swift's Specific Is. s.

all medicines l had heretofore been
using, and commenced taking S. S. s.,
and after using the third bottle, l dis
and that those sharp darting pains, so
characteristic of the cancer, had ceas-
ed, and the discharge was very profuse.
In a few days 1t began to heal rapidly
and soon dried up. BY the time / had
exhausted the fifth bottle there was
nothing left but the scar where the
cancer had been, and was a well man.
The cure effected in my case Is cOnsid-
cred by my neighbOrs a most remark
able one, and clearly demonstrates the
fact that S. S. S. DOES CURE CAN

THEIR SECOND ANNIVERSARY
The Patriotic Sons or America Celebrate
Last Evening.

Last Evening.
Washington Camp No. ~, Patriotic
Order Sons OF America celebrated the
second anniversary Of its Organiz3 ton
at Its hall In Lynch's Block Tuesday
evening.
The exercises were inagurated by
the singing Of the RED, White and
Blue" by the society and the audience,
numbering In all nearly two hundred
people.
Chaplain Gideon Kruger offered
prayer with touching eloQuence, and
d selection by the orchestra followed.
President Williams delivered short
address, cordially welcoming the
friends in attendance and referring to
the objects of the organization.
Thos. Il. Mackinlay delivered an
address upon the subject, "Our Or
der" briefly reviewing the history Of
the country and leading down to the
organization Of the order. It's objects,
he stated, might be summed up into
a maintenance of the American sys-
TEN OF public schools and a contin-
ued reverence for church and state.
He closed with tribute to the Amer
lean flag.
Duncan McDOugall spoke upon the
''Public Schools" and ably advocated
the school system, answering some of
the arguments made by Richard
Grant White in late number of the
North American Reuietc. His address
was a credit to gentleman whose
knowledge of the public schools and
their needs is by no means limited.

State President w. A. Saunders,

wreck at Seneca, he being on the Dem
yer Express.

The Episcopal General Convention
adopted a pastoral letter, which takes a
higher and more pronounced stand
against public evils than those of pre-
vious years. 1t urges the people to
build larger and less costly colleges of
learning; and, touching the industrial
issue. the letter declares that the
church has taken due cognizance of
the class disturbances during the last
three years. 1t is evident, says the
letter, that the existing industrial sys-
tenn is not what it should be. On this
point the attitude of the church is
that the obligations between the la
borer and employer are reciprocal, and
it is the duty Of the employe to aid in
defending the interests of the employ
er and of the employer to adopt rea-
sOnable attitude toward the interests
Of the wOrkmen. The letter says the
church should not be made response
BILE for unreasonable speculation, both
in the Holy Communion and other
branches of the ritual.

Judge Snyder arose and motioned for

remarks pronounced Allen and Miss
Bauer man and wife. Thus ended
what at the outset promised to be
a nauseating bastardy suit.

Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court handed down
two decisions Wednesday in important
Chicago cases.
One was the celebrated Woodruff
habeas corpus petition. Woodruff,
who has made quite reputation as a
liar in connection with the CrOnin
case, being indicted as one OF the muir
deres or their accomplish, wants to
be liberated because, having been ar
rested May Goth, more than two terms
of the criminal court have gone by
and he has not yet had his trial.
Under the statute, the Court say
that there is no question Of his right
to a discharge If he has done nothing
himself to prevent the speedy trial he
has asked for. At the July term
there was a continuance on the petit
toners motion; at the August term
he secured on his motion a separate
trial.
Now at the September term his CO.
defendants, with whom he would
have been tried had he not asked fol-
separate trial, are being tried, and it
is manifestly impossible that two
trials can 60 on at the same time; and
as these men now on trial have thrown
no obstacles in the way of speedy
trial, they, if any are favored as to
time, should come first; moreover, in
the event of his being tried first, there
might be a defeat of justice, in that
at the end of this term, without trial,
they would haye a right to demand
and would be entitled to a release UNI
der the statute. The fact that there
are other branches of the court and
assistants to the States Attorney
matters not, as the cause is under the
Jurisdiction of one branch, each Of
which may be regarded as independent
courts. The trial of WOOdruff'S CO.
defendants is in progress; the indict-
ment is there in court and the witness
there. In fact, it is impossible and
impracticable to grant the writ and it
is denied.
The other case was True, treasurer
of the town of Lake. v. Geo. r. Davis,
city treasurer. This was a case in
which the matter of the recent annex
alton of county towns to Chicago was
fought on the ground of inequalities
of taxation upon certain parts of the
resulting corporation. But the court
says there is no limitation of the Or
ganizatiOn or consolidation of munich
pal corporations if affected under the
statutes. Taxes can never be made
equal, and as the benefits are mutual,
the burdens of taxation should be
likewise mutual.

QUIT ON THREE BOXES.
How . North Side Young Man Didn't VIII
Bet OF Ten Dollars.

Bet Of Ten Dollars.
Two weeks ago Harry Langan was a
bright-eyed young man with q frm,
elastic tread, and an appetite for
oysters that made his friends anxious
at times for his safety. But now
Harry walks to his meals with a sad
and crestfallen air, and the sun that
arose so smilingly upon his short-lived
Joy seems as cold boiled potato upon
q sea of raw oysters.
It came about in this way. Harry
was a terror on oysters, and last week
carelessly threw out fewhints to the
effect that he could eat half dozen
cans of New York counts without
even feeling satisfied. The Hon.
Judge DOOlan. of DOOlan & Davy,
heard of Harry and offered to wager
ten dollars that he would fail in an
attempt to accomplish his boast. Har-
~ took the bet. The oysters were pro-
duced. He was to eat them In an hour
and q half. He ate three cans in half
an hOur-then the oysters prevailed
over him and he went away and wept.
Twas ever thus since AL. Rutledge
attempted to eat those pies.

them, the little sugar-coated Granules,
known all over the land as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, produce
an effect upon the bowels very different
from that of a disagreeable. violent
purgative. No gripping or drenehing
follows, as in the case of a drastic chO-
lagogue. The relief to the intestines
resembles the action of Nature in her
happiest moods, the impulse given to
the dormant liver Is of the most salu-
tary kind, and is speedily manifested
by the disappearance of all bilious
symptoms. Sick headache, wind on
the stomach, pain through the right
side and shoulder-blade, and yellow
ness of the skin and eyeballs are speed
lily remedied by the Pellets. One a

The report of the Board of Missions

The report of the Board of Missions
of the Protestant Episcopal church Of
the United States is an interesting
one, ana shows vast amount of work
accomplished in that direction. The
report Of the treasurer of the board
shows that children contributing to
the Lent missionary fund numbered
10000. The aggregate received in
money from this fund was S46, 705, no
less than 1929 Sunday schools being
represented by the donors. The trien-
NAL report of the church building
fund was read by its treasurer, Judge
Prince of New Mexico, displaying a
most fiOurishing condition of the fund.
The final disposition of the moribund
million-dollar enrolment fund was re-
ferred to the Board of Managers.

Swans Galore.

Sportsmen who have visited Sauvie's Island
lately report that the number of swans at
present using" in the lakes there Is some
thing wonderful, being much greater than

them to float to the surface, and then he

any of the wapatoes are in sight he take,

carefully before swallowing. The chances
are, however. that the ducks who have been
watching around have bounced upon the
wapatoes, and. without waiting to wash
them, have swallowed every one of them, and
are sitting at Il safe distance, looking as il

The Value OF a Tooth.

A case was recently tried in one of the Bos-
ton courts which involved peculiar state
of facts. It was an action of tort against the
keeper of a restaurant to recover damages
for personal injuries and the loss Of a tooth.
1t appeared in evidence that the plaintiff,
man of high social standing in Boston, and
one who thinks a great deal of his personal
appearance, went into the defendants restau-
rant to get lunch. Among other things he
ordered some lettuce. Being somewhat Of
nervous temperament, and being in haste to
take a train, he ate rather rapidly. While
eating the lettuce prominent tooth struck
large sized gravel stone, and was badly
broken. The restaurant keeper refusing to
make any satisfactory adjustment of the
matter, the injured party brought a Slit to
recover damages for the alleged negligence
and carelessnesS of the defendant and his
servants to properly wash and clean the let
tuce The court, on the plaintiffs testimony,
ruled that the case was proper one for the
jury. The expert testimony as to the value
of tooth, apart from the physical and men
tai suffering of the plaintiff, was conflicting,
it being a novel and perplexing subject In
which to fix the measure of damages. The
plaintiff claimed that the lost tooth was of a
particular value to him both as TO use and
looks, and that he would not have lost it for
$500 The jury was of the opinion that the
defendant should be more careful and gave
the plaintiff a substantial verdict, sum suf
ficient to buy an entire false set.-Boston
