diction In the Case.


diction In the Case.
DANvILLE, Ills, May 17.-Attornev Gem
erai Moioney made his argument in the
apportionment suit and closed the case for
the defense. Captain Hunt finished for
the Republicans late in the afternoon. and
then Judge Bookwalter took the case nm
der advisement and will make his decision
known ON Saturday, the last day of this
term OF court. Attorney General Moloney
devoted the first part of his argument to
showing that Fletcher, the complainant
nau no standing in court. Arguing further
Moioney claimed that no Illinois court of
chancery had jurisdiction over political
questions. The suit on trial in yolyed no
other kind of questions.
After listening to the attorney generals
argument for some time Judge Rock
walter asked him if he took the ground
chat a o'sancery court has no right to ones
ton the apportionment acts passed by the
legislature. Moloney did not care to
answer the question mt that time. but
finally declared that he believed the Mi
Dois constitution did not confer upon the
judiciary the power to interfere with n
legislative apportionment. "And have
every ialth that your honor will so de-
SA"Ac' stAu tne attorney general "and
that The supreme court will also take the
same view of the case. and it will be a
very sorry day for the judiciary of this
state when it goes contrary to that prin-
ciple."
Attorney General Moloney ouoted Re-
publican doctrine against the Republican
plaintiff. He read an opinion by ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, saying that the only way
TO remove an apportionment act was either
TO let 1t expire by limitation or pass n con-
stitutional amendment eliminating the
Objectionable law.
In the closing argument Captain Hunts
address consisted of a summary of all the
points made by the attorneys for Fletcher
during the trial and replies to the de-
tense set up by the Democratic counsel.
lie argued in favor of the courts jurisdic-
ton and the Plaintiffs right to a hearing
IN court, and paid a final compliment to
the disputed districts. He spoke for two
hours and ut the conclusion of his ad-
dress Judge Bookwalter said he would
take the matter under advisement, and
woyd notify the attorneys on both sides
wien he was ready TO announce his de-
cision.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis.,, May. 1.-THE
storm which has just swept over this Sec
tion was the severesr since the memorable
flood of 1854, where ruin and devastation
were wrought on every had. Before the
rain fell the clouds, which were of an ON
inous greenish tint, coursed in a circle
while converging in a mass, and finally
broke with a tremendous noise like canon
ading Streets became running rivers
and branches Of the Chippewa river be-
came instantly swollen. and the flood of
water caused by the giving way of several
dams was augmented so that in the mad
rush of the streams a good many buildings
along their banks were undermined. The
city lost three bridges, and nearly every
bridge in the county was swept away. The
flood rose to its greatest height by
O'Clock in the morning, compelling a good
many families to carry their household
goods to places of safety. Merchants lost
heavily by flooded cellars. The city's loss
includes an entire street shorn of its block
pavement.
Costs the Section About 31JO 600.
Loss to private interests is from $4,000
to $4,000. Farming districts along the
swoolen streams We're flooded for miles
back, but the water having greatly reced-
ed the loss to crops will not be as serious
as was at first estimated. c. A. Stanley
of this city, lost sawmill and 2O0, 200 feet
of logs at Chippewa Falls. At the village
OF Bloomer grist mill was swept away
and good many private interests suf-
fered. \ large number of logs along the
Chippewa have been distributed over
meadow lands and it will cost large sum
TO get them back to the river Further
damage is not feared, though scme large
dams may give way yet, which will pre-
cipitate flood As wide in its destruction
as that of 1884. The loss complete, it is
thought, will be under Sl50000.

DIR, Shrady, in the Borum, gives some
of the big fees that physicians receive
from wealthy patients.
For four weeks attendance during
typhoid fever the physician to the prince
of Wales received $4,000.
1t is the countless homes in moderate
circumstances, however, that find it so
hard topay for the frequent DOCTORS visits.
What the plain people want is the very
best medicine, yet not beyond their
means. They have it in Paine's celery
compound.
To prepare such a great, popular
remedy, that should embody the most
advanced ideas regarding disease, and yet
be easily within reach of the thousand
modest homes where sickness exists, was
the lifelong ambition of that eminent
Dartmouth professor, the greatest physi
clan America has produced, Edward E,
Phelps NJ d., IL. D. Paine's celery
compound, that remarkable nerve regu-
lator and blood purifier, was first prepared
by Prof Phelps in the laboratory of the
Dartmouth medical school,
Paine's celery compound embodied the
sound theory of Prof. Phelps that only
by feeding and rebuilding worn-out,
diseased nerve tissues could firm health
be restored. This greatest of remedies
sets to work at once to store the nerve
tissues and the muscular tissues with the
means of rapid growth. 1t urges the
excretory organs to cleanse the blood, and
| fills it with new red corpuscles. There
has never been anything like Paine's
celery compound for building up the
system when tired out, weak and blood
less. 1t has shown its marvellous power
in permanently curing nervous debility
and exhaustion, neuralgia, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headaches, dyspepsia, rheu.
