That Famous Decision.
Kansas CITY Globe.

Judge Theodore Botkin, of the
thirty-second judicial district Of
Kansas was in the city a little while
yesterday on his way home from a
visit to southeastern Kansas. His
district lies in the extreme south
western portion of the state, and
embraces the counties Seward, Ste
vens, Haskell, Grant, Morton and
Stanton. He is the gentleman who
some months ago rendered decis-
ion that created a great deal of
comment both in the west and in
the money markets of the east in
reference to the loaning of money
for making final proofs on pre-emp-
ton and homestead lands. His de-
cision was perverted, and never re-
ported correctly, and for the reason
that false impression was created
in reference to it, many of the east
ern firms refused for a time to lend
money to the western presumption
and homestead settlers. Referring
to the decision the judge said: Il
did not decide that mortgage Civ
en- by pre-emptor or homesteader
prior to the receipt of the receivers
final receipt was illegal and void.
That question was not raised. The
defendant entered into contract with
the loan company six days before
making final proof by which he
agreed to mortgage his presumption
claim. The plaintiff advanced him
more than $500 under the contract.
Defendant, after final proof refus. d
to execute the mortgage, and suit
was brought to compel specific per-
Torrance. / ruled that as the con-
tract was made before final proof,
and as the plaintiff knew defendant
would have to commit perjury IN
der the act of congress of 1141 in
making final proof in the face of
that contract, and therefore the con-
tract was tainted with moral turpi-
tude on both sides and was illegal
and void, and that equity must leave
both sides where it finds them.

AWoman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady of this
county. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her, and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs we're undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily and could not
sleep. She bought Of MS a bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
and was so much relieved on taking the
first dose that she slept all night, and
with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. y

THERE is great rush of Northern
skilled labor into the Southern States,

the favorite field.
A NEW and valuable fiber is said to
have been found in the stalk of the
okra plant, of which two crops per

IN Hull, England, common painters
get fourteen cents per hour; in Leeds,

from sixteen to seventeen. A fve-room
house costs five dollars per month.
MoLDs for casting iron can only be
made in sand. Iron or other metallic
molds chill the iron, and it does not fit
well. The great heat at which iron
melts will burn any other material or
will stick so as to break the mold.
A SYSTEM of building houses entirely
of sheet iron has been communicated to
the Society of Architecture in Paris.
The walls, partitions, roofs and VAIN
soothing are composed of double metal
lie sheets, separated by an air mattress,
which is surrounded by different nom
conductors of heat.
THE great increasing demand for
electric lighting for the streets of cities
and towns, as well as factories, public
buildings, ETC., and the consequent
growing familiarity of the public with
the subject, makes it imperative for
parties who are furnishing themselves
or others with electric lights to look
not only to the first cost, but also to the
efficiency of the apparatus, and deter
mine the saving at the end of The year.
THE great and little manufacturers all
over the country are crowded with shop,
mill and factory work, and overtime is
quite common in cities and towns. Iron
and steel are advancing in price. Steel
rails have gone up four dollars per ton
in four months; pig iron one dollar per
ton; nails ten cents per keg. Hardware
has advanced. and the fear now is that
prices will take another advance and
alarm and check enterprise, which is
proverbially timid.
