AN IMPORTANT CASE.
1T COMES UP BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES COURT.
Suit for an Estoppei-The Eureka
Chemical Company, of La Crosse
Makes the Trouble.

Papers have been filed in the United
States court of the western district OF
Wisconsin, by Tarrant a. Kronshage,
attorneys for the Sterling Remedy
company, of Chicago and New York,
in "a suit for estoppel and damages
against an imitation of No-to-bac, the
tobacco habit cure. The action is
brought against concern called the
Eureka Chemical company, of La
Crosse, Wis.
The principles involved in these pro-
ceedings are of the utmost Importance
to the proprietary interests of America
in general, and form in many respects
a test case, the outcome of which will
be carefully watched by the many
other important manufacturing con-
Germs similarly initiated. Not only
the question of imitation of name,
trademark, form of preparation and
package, enter into the case, but also
the proposition whether the actual adj
vertising literature used in establish
ing the publicity of a preparation can
be stolen with impunity, word by
word, by an imitator. The decision in
this case Will settle one of the vital
points in United States trademark
and copyright law. Madison (Wis.)
Democrat.

More Trouble I'm Nicaragua.

Network: A cable from Tegucigalpa,
Honduras, says fighting has begun in
Granada, Nicaragua. Disorder is also
reported from Leon. The Hondurian
troops concentrated at Cape Gracias
will remain there, as it is feared that
the threatened outbreak on the Mos
quito reservation may extend here.
Gen. Bonilla will take 4 1000 men and go
to President Zelaya's aid if requested.
Washington: The fact that the rev.
olution is along the. east shore is re-
garded as significant. This is the
Mosquito region in which British in
fiuence has long been dominant. 1t
has been apprehended by Central
American diplomats that if the Mos
quito natives made further trouble it
would afford opportunity for further
British Intervention and probably an
attempt to restore Chief Clarence.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

ant TO the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax

ECHOES OF THE EASTERN WAR.
Japan VIII Make Concessions to Satisfy
the Powers, but Russia Wants More.

the fowers, but Russia Wants More.
Washington: Information has been
received To show that, in response to
Russian intimations, Japan has abated
her claims To the cession of Chinese
territory in Manchuria, and now offers
to demand only the absolute cession of
the extremity of the Port Arthur pen
insula as far north as and including
Talienwan. In return for this re-
linquishment of territory Japan will
demand "A considerable increase of the
war indemnity originally fixed at 2OO,-
600, 600 taels 1t is feared that this
concession will not be sufficient to
meet the demands of Russia, which
will insist upon an entire abandon
ment of the Lao Tung peninsula. The
Russian reasoning is that ty the occu-
patton of Port Arthur the Japanese
will dominate Manchuria as effectually
as If she held the nominal title TO the
province. 1t would also be impossible
for Russia TO locate a western ter
minal port for the Siberian railroad
anywhere in Manchuria as it would be
easily closed at a moments notice by
the japanese from their powerful base
at Port Arthur, which would dominate
from a military point of view not only
Manchuria and the Gulf of Pechili, but
also Wei-Hai-Wei, only 40 miles across
the straits. Japan would also be in a
position TO control the commerce of
Manchuria.
Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, one of the
best posted writer's on European politi-
cal questions, has written a splendid
article setting forth the reasons for the
attitude of the various powers. 1t
may be summed briefly as follows:
Russia wants the territory which the
Japs have won; Germany's ruler de-
sIres TO secure a friendship with Russia
and cause a GOODNESS between that
country and France; the republic of
France weakly supports Russia's de
mands because of other en- tanglements
with her; John Bull does not wish to
incur the displeasure of either side,
and Uncle Sam is always neutral in
foreign scraps.

whose recovery from Bright's disease
by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills has
been so extensively chronicled, APP
pears to have been very correct one.
The swelling of the body and extremi-
ties to an abnormal size, the fearful
commissions and consequent insensi-
bilitv, the racking pains, the forma-
ton of the hard ridges across the pit
of the stomach and the great loss of
albumen are all symptoms of this ter
rible disease, and it is universally adj
mitted by all who have been ap-
preached on the subject that the case
was unmistakable in its character.

owes his restored health to the above
mentioned remedy.

Japan surrenders the Fruits OF Victory.

Toxic: Japan precipitately aban-
dons all ManchuIia. Even the whole
peninsula of Lao Tung, including
Talienwan and Port Arthur, is to be
given up. 1t is doubtful whether there
will be any increase in the cash indem-
nifty. The facts are being kept secret
here, but when the truth becomes
known a universal public revulsion is
certain. The present ministry is as
suredly doomed. The government is
auxiously guarding the foreign en-
voys. The diplomatic situation
is unparalleled. The American OPP
portunity is unreasonable. It
is apparently not realized at Wash
ington that supreme influence in
the east for the next half century is
easily obtainable through prompt,
energetic action. The ratification of
the treaty by China is still deferred
but is promised.
Che Foo: The warships of several of
the powers are fast assembling here.
The situation is regarded as ominous.
Already eight Russian warships includ-
ing three torpedo boats have gathered
here and more are expected. In addition
another British, French and American
and two German warships have ar
rived.
Toulon: The French cruisers Sfax
and Cecille will accompany the French
cruisers Tage and Suchet to China
seas. They were loaded with ammuni-
ton and provisions.

BRITISH LEAVE CORINTO.
Nicaragua and Great Britain Come to an
Agreement at Last.


Managua: The British and Nicara-
guam governments have reached an
agreement, thanks to the good offices
of the United States, and the British
marines have evacuated the port of
Corinto. Nicaragua has agreed to
pay the S77, 800 demanded by Great
Britain for the expulsion of pro-Consul
Hatch and for other alleged damages
to British subjects arising from the
recent troubles in u Mosquito reser-
walton, but instead of paying the
money at the lannon's mouth, as the
British government originally de-
manded should be done, she will pay
it in London Is days after the last
vessel of the British fleet withdraws
from Corinto. Two of the three YES
sells promptly left the harbor after the
marines were on board, hut the Royal
Arthur remained.
The action of San Salvador in guar
anteeing the payment of the indemnity
as, in fact, her course throughout the
whole dispute, is very favorably COM
mented upon in official circles and it is
believed that an entente will be estab-
lished that will lead to results benef-
cial TO both countries. 1t would not
be at all surprising if this trouble with
Great Britain should result in the
formation of an alliance between the
Central American states for defensive
and commercial purposes. In fact
President Zelaya has received numer-
Gus letters from neighbor states sug-
costing commercial union. Not for
years has there been such unanimity
of opinion among the Spanish-Amer-
lean republics.
