made 20 un ierstand what charming
place it is, and what delightful scenes are
enacted there, Judge Babb would be
obliged to enlarge his throne room.
The case at bar was the state vs.. 4. J.
Stoney and his wife, Della Stoney, charged
with threatening great bodily harm to the
person of George ketZler All the parties
live on Eighteenth street, southeast OF the
packing houses. It was one of those de-
lightful neighborhood quarrels, where
every opportunity is employed Co make the
life of each other as miserable as possible;
where they hurl defiance and foul Ian
lsuage at each other on the slightest prov
ocation and whenever they meet; where
they lay awake nights thinking up some
thing mean to do 70 each other; where
the dogs are scalded and the cats are pois-
soned and the chickens are killed. All! it
Was charming. Judge McCandless was
the prosecuting attorney and he and the
defendent, Mrs. Stony were not very good
friends, and she did not miss sAis golden
opportunity to vent her spleen. In exam
lining witness the judge referred to her
as she" This excited her wrath beyond

Judge Babb what policy was aud how it
was played. One man exclaimed
soto yoce, that the court ought
to adjourn and the witness and Judge

see how it was done. The court said he
would post himself in regard to the game

cident yesterday and one which may

comrade pulled the air cord AZ
once and stopped the train When
he Was picked up he Was IN
conscious and did not regain conscious
ness for some time. Fortunately DR..
pnrdy OF this city was on the Grain and be
did everything IN his power to relieve him.
Had il not been that the place where be
fell was sandy there is no question but
what he would have been killed instantly.
He struck the sand with such force that IL
splashed up distance of ten feet ike

yemited blood freely and doubtless re-
ceived some severe internal injuries, but
30 bones were broken. He was cared for

AN AMERICAN MaLGOT.
Disease of the Nerves Has Greatly In
creased-The CzuSes-


Or. s. Weir Mitchell. OF Philadelphia,
a recognized authority on nervous dis
eases, il recent interview had some
very interesting things TO say with re-
gard TO what ne considers the charac-
teristic maladv OF the American ma
ton Possi bly,, as a specialist. he may
be unconsciously disposed to overstate
the case, but his observation and expert
ence are. he claims. reinforced by sta
tistics that show that nervous disor-
ders are increasing IN an alarming ratio
every year. The number of deaths
from this cause is already appalling
and IS steadily growing. In some of
the busy ceuters, DR.. Mitchell IS re-
ported as saying. the tables OF NOR
tally show that the proportion Of nerve
death has multiplied more than twenty
times in the last forty Years. and that
now the nerve death mum Der more than
one-fourth Of all the deaths recorded,
WHAT Is most shocking in these
returns < that this fearful loss OF
life occurs mainly among young people
OF both sexes. This means that the
Americans are fast becoming short
lived people, and II tAey were shut IN
