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 a post
mortem examination of a body made,
while the other opposes it and defes the
first to proceed with the affair. 1t
seems that few years ago Il Mr.. War
rington, well to do cattleman of that
county, married a second wife, to whom
he 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, a wealthy mer-
chant in jewelry il 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 o. Mir. 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
las* illness testified that the day she had
died she had her bring her box filled
with unset gems, which she deliberately
swallowed one by one, passing away
a few moments after she had 1Ot 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 nurses story, re-
fuse to allow what they consider desc

CROP CONDITIONS.
The Final Buue tin of the Illinois Weather
Service.


The Illinois department of agricul-
ture has issued its final crop bullu-
tin for the son, as follows:
The temperature of the past seven
DAYS has been below the normal
! throughout the northern and south
ern divisions of the state. At Chiss
cago tie daily deficiency was about
/ eight degrees: at Cairo, four degrees.
In the central division the 1empera-
ture was about the average. A kill
ing frost occurred over the state on
the morning IF the Goth which did
considerable damage to tender vege-
Z tation. HEAVY rains occurred during
the week over the entire southern
and the extreme western counties of
the northern and central divisions.
Elsewhere, while the amount of pre-
cipitation was slightly below sea-
| sOnable amount, ii was well distrib-
uted. The percentage of sunshine
was below soasonable amount.
Beneficial Rains.
The recent rains have been of great
benefit to meadows and pastures,
which are now reported growing
| nicely. In some sections stock have
| been turned out. Stock water is now
abundant. The ground is generally
in excellent condition for fall plow
ing. and this work is being vigorous
ly pushed. Considerable seeding has
been accomplished, but this work has
| been retarded somewhat by the heavy
rains. particularly in the southern
division. In some sections seeding
has been finished. Some farmers
have delayed sowing. owing to the
presence of grasshoppers. Grain
lately sown will also be greatly bene-
fitted by the ms. The reports in
dictate that the Weld OF corn. except
in few counties. will be greater
than was anticipated some weeks
ago. and the quality will also be
good. This crop is now being cut,
and in some localities cribbed. 1t is
thought that the bulk OF the corn
will be ready to crib by Oct. 10.
Potatoes will be a light crop gener-
ally.

My intention is to give Optics a large

so that the wearing of Glasses will do
