A Novel Law Suit.

A novel suit is to be entered in the
courts, at its next sitting. in which one
party claims the right to have post
morbem examination of body made,
wAile the other opposes it and defies the
first to proceed with the affair. 1t
seems that a few years ago Mr.. War
rington, a well to do cattleman of that
county, married second wife, to whom
be presented the jewels, consisting of
valuable diamonds belonging to the
first Mrs. Warrington, and which she
had received as part of her marriage
portion from her father, wealthy mer-
chant in jewelry in San Francisco.
Warrington dying shortly after his
second venture into matrimony, Mrs.
Warrington kept the diamonds in def
ance of the family of her predecessor,
who claimed them as the deceased wom-
ans heirs. Suit was brought against
her, but she declared that her husband
had sold them shortly after they were
married and that she had no property to
to make good the loss even if she were
liable for the act of Mr.. Warrington.
This story was not believed by the
first Mrs. Warrington's family, who
maintained that the woman still had
them in her possession, and soon after
her death, which took place some weeks
ago, the nurse who attended her in her
last illness testified that the day she had
died she had her bring her box filed
with unset gems, which she deliberately
swallowed one by one, passing away
few moments after she had got the
last one down. The family now wish to
disinter her body and to open it for the
recovery of the diamonds, but her own
people, not crediting the enurse's story, re-
fuse to allow what they consider desc

Longest Track Laying This Year.

rte longest stretcil of track laying
done thus far this year has just been
completed by the Minneapolis, st. Paul

extension ofits line from Cathay, N. D., to
Sterling, on the international boundary,
distance of 1924 miles, all ironed since
last spring. At the boundary line con-
nection is made with branch of the
Canadian Pacific, now building from a
point west of Regina. about 100 miles

palsota,s Great wheatfie1ds.

A large party of foreign agricultural
commissioners to the Worlds fair, un-
der the escort of Governor Shortridge of
North Dakota, saw some harvesting
operations in that great wheat country
few days ago which must have opened
their eyes, accustomed as they are to the
small acreages of Europe. Driving
through vast wheatfeld bounded only
by the horizon, they beheld as many as
43 twine binders moving in steady pro-
cession half mile long and cutting
great swaths of grain.
They were told by the owner of this
farm that in harvesting time he cut a
square mile of grain in day and en-
ployed so men to shock it up. AT noon
the visitors sat down to prairie chicken
dinner on a mammoth scale, which ex-
cited their surprise almost as much as
the prairie acres on which they gazed.
Afterward they visited the famous
Dalrymple farm, covering "a, 900 acres Of

A just but Lenient Judge.

An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah few davs
ago. Judge Mcdonnell was tardy in
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $40 and then promptly re-
mitted the fine. His honor went te see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him a little longer than he had
counted on. When he entered the
courtroom, the hands on the clock above
the judges desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge Mcdonnell took note of the fact
and said: "In accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes in
late is subject to a fine. The clerk will.
therefore, enter fine of $40 against the
court for tardiness, to be paid into the
registry of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order to
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re-
NIT the fine. Baltimore Sun.
