FORECLOSURE TITLES.
IMPORTANT DECISION ON THE
REDEMPTION LAW.
Judge Moore Holds That q District
Judge Has No Power to Amend or
Correct a Judgment After the Term
Of Court at Which 1t Was Rendered.

Probably the most important case
during the term of-court in Its effects
throughout the district and as a pre-
cedent as the first ruling in the State
on the subject was decided this morn.
ing when Judge Moore handed down
an opinion in the case Of Porter vs..
Westfall, Kirby ct al. This was q
motion to amend and correct a iudg-
ment rendered upon a promissory
note for $l,245 and foreclosure Of
mortgage on 50 acres Of land in Ban
ner township. The judgment Of FORE
closure was rendered at the September
term of court in 1894. This was
after the passage Of the mortgage re-
demption law Of 1898 giving Is
months In which to redeem lands
sold under foreclosure, but the
supreme court ruling which declared
that this redemption privilege ap-
plies as well to mortgage made before
the passage of the redemption law as
after had not been made. Last fall
the supreme court made this ruling
and since then there has been much
speculation as to the real status Of
foreclosure sales made after the
adoption OF tho law and before the
courts ruling.
Thomas Kirby, the banker, having
had an interest in this realty made q
motion to have the sheriif's sale which
had been made set aside and that
he be allowed to redeem the land by
paying the amount sold for with costs
etc. II Is claimed that the decree
was entered by mistake Of the rule
Of law and should be set aside.
Judge Moore handed down o
lengthy opinion reviewing authorities
on the power Of district court to
change or set aside ruling after the
end OF the term in which 1t WAS made.
These he holds deny such right to the
court, He further argues that to
allow such procedure would result In
confusion and constant changing Of
decisions. Hence he denies the
motion and refuses to set aside the
sale since it was regularly made re-
gardless Of The fact that the supreme
court afterward ruled that all fore
closures after the taking effect Of the
new law were subject to redemption.
This ruling means that there will be
no disturbance Of titles secured by
shcrilf's sale since the adoption Of the
new law
The opinion says as to the future
conlirmations, This court has the
power, upon a motion to confirm a
u sale under the judgment which was
rendered in the forms Of law existing
prior to 1893, but actually rendered
after the redemption law of 1898 took
effect, to order that certificate be
issued to the purchaser, as provided
in Sec. !, chapter l09, laws Of 1898,
and such will be the order whenever
demanded

Scared the Folks.

A North Buckeye boy, Wesley
Smith, gave his parents a genuine
scare last evening. In the afternoon
he loaded up the shotgun, mounted a
colt and went away east Of town duck
hunting. He did not return and
about 7 o'clock the family, assisted
by several kind-hearted neighbors
went on hunt for the wanderer. Five
minutes later be entered the deserted
bouse and proceeded to be comfort
able. The searchers kept up the
hunt a few hours and then returned
to find Wesley himself. The next
time he goes hunting a string will be
tied to him.

WEEKLY REFLECTOR CHANGE,
Twelve Page Paper to Be Issued

One department Of the REFLECTOR
in which it has taken especial pride
has been that Of the weekly edition.
This we have aimed to make as good
as careful editing and liberal expendi.
ture Of money could produce. The
result has been that 1t has become the
leading home paper Of Dickinson
county, having by far the largest sub
scription list Of any paper printed
here. 1t has grown rapidly In popu-
lar favor and especially since the re-
duction Of the price last June has
made great strides forward In circula-
ton.
But we are not satisfied with hav-
the largest and best weekly ip the
county, as the REFLECTOR has been
for years. Better things are ahead.
Commencing with the issue Of March
10 it will be increased to 70 pages, all
home print, making it the largest
home print newspaper in central Kan
sas and equal toany in the State out
side of Topeka and Wichita. This
means added expense andan increased
news service but 1t does not mean any
increase Of price. The subscription
will remain as before, 81 90 ayear, 30
cents for six months. This Is going
to be a great year for political events.
The l2-page weekly will tell it all,
and for only a dollar.

 If asked the question, Have you got a stomach?" it would be safe on gen. eral principles to answer Yes" But if you are sure of it; that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description in the region of the stomach, you have got something more than an ordinary stomach; in other words, you have got diseased stomach. The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper remedy for a tired muscle is rest. Try the Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this product not only contains digested food, which will nourish the system, but it aids the digestion of other foods as we'll.

THE TRASK ESTATE.
A Probate Court Squabble Over the
 Assets.

Before the probate court yesterday was the matter of the final accounting of Lizzie Meyer, widow of and execu- trix of the estate of T. J. Trask, de- ceased. There was a considerable de- gree more of trouble than might have been expected considering the fact that the eXecutrix is also the only legatee, and half dozen lawyers confronted the probate judge and spent the day interrupting each other and squab- bling over every account presented. The main subject for argument Jay in the expenditure since the death of de- ceased of about $1,50O, and made a charge against the estate. The estate figures up about S23, 900, but claims up on it will eat up fully that sum. Hence the quarrel of the attorneys over the expenditure of any amount that might lessen the proceeds to their clients.
 The matter was takn under advise ment by the court

Tn Prescott Miss Lorraine presented the play with strong support drawn from the society people of the mount ain city and most emphatic success was scored. The talented and charm ing actress has attained especial fame in her interpretation of the character of Du Maurier's heroine and the whole construction of the play will be far re- moved from the attempt made at it lately in this city.

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.

In the light of existing conditions it is not surprising that the market price of silver should advance.
 As result of the war which as been made on the white metal by the gov ernment, silver mining has been to a great extent suspended and the pur- suit of gold has taken its place. The development of manufacturing indus tries in Japan has caused an increased demand for silver among European merchants and importers, since, at present prices of silver they are en- abled to realize profit of something like 100 per cent. American silver which has been purchased hitherto at less than 70 cents an ounce has been converted into Ind.an wheat and cot ton on a basis of $1.29 an ounce and now the same tning is being done in connection with Japanese manufac- tured goods.
 This increase1 demand for sliver with which to buy manufactured goods as well as raw material ito be placed in competition with American pioduc-s has naturally caused an advance in the price. The higher silver goes the less will American products and man ufactures be affected by foreign com- petition.
 If congress would do it's duty and by opening our hints to silver raise the price to a level with that of India, China and Japan, competition from these countries would wholly disap- per.
 Put the United States on an equality with the rest of the world from mon- etary standpoint and we can pay high CT wages than any country in the world and at the same time undersell them in the worlds markets.
 It will be said that increase of the value of silver by the government would be equivalent to doubling the value of the silver bullion in the hands of its owners. But it is not true As silver advanced in price, everything else would advance and a man could buy no more of the products of labor with an ounce of silver worth S1.29 than with an ounce of silver worth 70 cents.

POLAR BEAR AND WALRUS.
Strange Association Ex:stin. Between the
 Two Animals.

Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two Animals.
 Old voyagers in Behring sea tell of strange association between the wal rus and the polar bear. The walrus furnishes the principal foood of this great carnivore, which is his deadliest &oo, in fact, yet to see them together, as they frequently are encountered, one might think they were boon com panions. Lying upon the field ice will often be seen patches" of walrus con- taining from thirty to fifty, and with each of these groups will be found the polar bear. They all arc apparently resting together in the happiest sort of unity Occasionally walrus fops into the water and sinks leisurely into the depths, while others will be seen emerging the-efrom and climbing up on the ice.
 The bear becomes hungry and de- cides he will dine with the walrus that day. He rises to his launches and sways himself heavily upon all fours. After a yawn and 8 stretch he saunters to the nearest walrus and swings his power ful paw in crushing blow on it's head, instantly killing the animal. He then proceeds leisurely to make com fortable dinner off the unfortunate ob- iect of his selection. This perform ance, apparently, does not startle the others. They continue 5o basil un- disturbed, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their co1nrade and awaiting their turn like stoies The female wal rus with young, however, does not tol crate the presence of the bear. She regards lirn with rneritcd suspicion, and promptly takes to the water with her offspring on his appearance.
