Bad for Cranberry Growers.
/HaSe -Nes,WlaH Sets aside tie Case
HzJnRctI0R.-H0ldS hiat SCAMP
Water IS Free.

MADISON, WIS, Jan. 30 Judge New
man has just rendered a decision in the
jackson county cranberry case. sustain
ing the demurrer of T. J. Hoffman and
others to the complaint of Russell Case
and dissolving the temporary injunction
obtained by Case pending the determi-
nation of the law.
Case brought suit to prevent the de-
PENDANTS from keeping away from his
cranberry marsh the water in a certain
ditchin town 20, jackson country, north
of Mather. The ditch was the property
Of the defendants, and was originally
dug across one corner of Cases land and
he was using the water therein contained
for his cranberry marshes. The de-
PENDANTS thought that he was using more
water than he was entitled to from the
ditch, leaving them, as the claim, with
an insufficient quantity to flood their
marshes further on. Hence they dug a
ditch from a point on the old ditch
above Cases land to point below,
running around his property and
cutting off his water supply altogether.
He brought suit to restrain the defend
ants from thus withholding the water
from his land, and for damages. The
defendants demurred to the complaint
on the ground there was no cause of
action, and that Case had no rights to
the water in the ditch.
Judge Newman sustains the demurrer
and dissolves the temporary injunction.
In his opinion there is no cause of
action against person who bitches
| across swamp, which he holds is the
place in which the ditch is situated So
he claims that Case cannot have the
rights in this ditch to which he would
be entitled if it were running stream
with well-defined banks, whose waters
were diverted, instead of the percolat-
ing water Of a swamp. The swamp is
not water course and if the defendants
| owned the ditch they had the right to
cut it and change its course in whatever
particular they desired, no matter how
it affected the plaintiff
The decision is interesting to a large
degree to cranberry growers of the
state, for it determines ditch rights,
which are the cause Of many conflicts
between the growers. 4 swamp is not
a water course, and can be ditched with
out reference to how such ditching may
effect another. 1t does away practically
with riparian rights under these circum-
stances. The case will probably be
taken to the supreme court.-To NAH

It's unfortunate to be SICK but it's salts
faction when one must take medicine to get
remedy that exactly fits your case.
The cause of disease must be considered first.
DR.. Shoop was not satisfied with the usual
custom of giving the so called Blood Purif-
ers." They give only temporary relief. The
cause has not been ren1OUed DR.. Shoop's in
designations proved that the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs are controlled
by certain nerves. When these nerves are ex-
hausted, these organs fail, and dyspepsia, bill
1ousness, etc.. will result.
The food we eat is the blood-maker. If it is
blood, bone and muscle, we cannot have health.
Or. Shoop'S Restorative is a stom-
ach, liver and Kidney cure, as it acts upon these
nerves where the cause exists Not a "Nervine'

escorted him to n large tobacco ware
house. where arrangements had been
made for the speaking.
Mr.. p. H. Carpenter introduced DR..
Holt In a short and eloquent speech OF
about fifteen minutes. When DR.. Holt

standing places for the eager audience

was different from any that had been
heard in our county The Doctor told the
people that he was a farmer and be-
longed to an Alliance and was fellow
sufferer, but the only remedy was In
the Democratic party and he advised
them not to run after false gods.
