A Verdict for the Plaintiff in the Monahan Suit
ln Milwaukec.

A Verdict for the Plaintiff in the Monahan Suit
In Milwaukee.
The jury in the case oi Monnhan
against Godkiu. in the United States
court, recently returned a verdict OF
$2l5G and costs in iavor OF the plaintiff
The case is one OF extreme importance
60 logging contractors, az IL gives iorce
10 the saving clauses OF alI logging con-
tracts which reads "providing the log
ging season permits" This relates 10
the cutting OF logs and hauling them to
the river banks. There Is nothing so lln-
certain as the winters Of northern Wis
conSin and Michigan so that it il impos-
sible 10 figure closely on how much good
logging weather can he depended on
In the Monahan case, Monahan sued for
SO, 300 on a contract, which Godkin
contested and notwithstanding the
saving clause preferred countcr-claim
OF nearly $4,000 for damages resulting
from the failure OF Monahan to get the
logs into the rivers in time for the spring
ircshets Tie main claim 81 the defend
ant was that Monahan had notcxcrcised
due diligence and that he should have
employed sufficient force TO fulfil the
demands OF the contract. Monahan
proved that his force was more than
ample and that had the logging season
permitted, the logs would have been in
the rivers long before the close oi the
season. Had the case been decided In
favor Of the defendant IL is stated that
there would be a radical difference, in
the future, in the executing OF logging
contracts.
The case has been closely watched by
lumber operators is northern Wisconsin
and Michigan. Godkin il lumbcrinan
OF Bay City and worth more than
81, 100000. The case has been stub
hornly contested throughout. The suit
was for So 300, but il vas proved that
there was some mistake in the accounts,
which warranted the jury Ia cutting the
amount down to $2l56. The costs Of
the case, which are also taxed against
Godkin, will amount to more than
81 900.

ly and his assocat - in stock OF the

Iron Mountain are only interested in
knowing that the long idle properties
,will be unwatercd and wrought, and they
|may rest assured that this will be
done without any unnecessary loss Of
time.
General Manager MacNaughton was

watering the property would be inaugu-
rated, not having formulated any plans

solidation was an accomplished TACT.

sidercd as being made. He anticipates
no great amount OF trouble in un-
watering the mines and keeping them
dry.
Questioned as to the probable output
OF the Chaplin company In 1896, Mr..
MacNaughton stated that that would
depend great deal upon the market
conditions. His company would mine

good one In the iron business. II is sale

The Iron Trade Review 'nSResume Of the Week

TIE week has brought little change In
current buying OF iron and steel, and has
furnished little new light ON what may

the new year opens. IL is generally
agreed that tho next five weeks viii be

rule coutinuc to regard the present situ-
alton as containing several parts OF
artificial or induced weakness TO one
part that is legitimate and due 90 an
attempt of the market to adjust itself to-
a new relation between production and
consumption. II is not expected, how
ever. that the statistics Of December j
will show n reduction Of stocks In
November, since consumption has been
curtaiIed in several directions. Another
element Is the hlct that shipments from
furnace yard do not indicate conaump-
tion In all cases, and on some contracts
later deliveries nrc being asked. The
lighter demand for finished material has
caused some accumulation OF iron at
mills and steel works. Ia the case oI
foundry irons. however, II would appear
that deliveries are being made fully un
to contract stipulntionr and that the

BEAUTY IS NO INHERITANCE,

Cosmetics do not beautify, but
often destroy healthy complexion.
A natural rosy and healthy complex
ion cannot be had by the use of
cosmetics, but only through the
health OF the body in general. Moth
ing IS better to secure this result
than the genuine imported Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt when taken early in the
morning, before breakfast (about a
small teaspoonful dissolved in a
tunblerful of water). 1t clears the
complexion and produces healthy
color. Best taken when outdoor
exercise can be had. Obtain the
genuine article, which has the sigma
ture of "EISNER & MENDEL-
SON CO., Agents, New York." on
the neck of every bottle.

And Discusses Osculntory Annoyances
to the Dlsquiet of Her Big Sister.
From the Chicago Post.
She is an observing little mortal. and she
knows her own mind. She has been sub
jected to all the osculatory annoyances
that pretty children have to put up with
and she is as heartily sick of them as the
average Child usually is. Every one seems
to feel that he or she has license to kiss
a pretty child in this world without giving
the least thought to the rights of the child
in the premises.
This little girl, however, has noticed that
no such infection is imposed upon her older
sister, and it has made her jealous.
Mamma" she said one day, Il wish
was big"
How big?"
"As big as Mamie" she replied. referring
to her sister.
"Why?'' inquired her mother.
"'Cause Mamie has lot better time
than do. Everybody doesn't want to kiss
Mamie"
How do you know they don't?"
well, she don't have to let 'em, anyway
if she don't want to-"
Are you sure about that?' asked the
mother, somewhat amused.
Course am. She can talk right back to
any one who kisses her, and 1t amt ilnpo-
lite at all, but If did it I'd be punished"
"Ethelr' broke in Mamie, with warning
shake of the head.
"Well, you can" protested Ethel, land it
amt fair. All the old grannies don't even
try to kiss you like they do me-only the
nice-looking young men, and you can send
them about their business If you want to-
l guess 1 heard you tell that man with the
black mustache, who was here last night
that he ought to be ashamed Of himself
and you know what would happen to me If
I said anything like that just because
somebody kissed me-"
