Can you AFFORD to risk your life during

This is a question which a great many
people viii do well to consider Just at this
time.

that their liver and kidneys are out Of order.
Others are sufferers from dizziness. palpita-

sumption or some other dangerous malady.
Can any one AFFORD TO run these risks?
These dangers ate not exaggerated. They

JUDGE SMITH ACTS AS UMPIRE.

Debate Between Attorneys Keeps the
Court Unusually Busy.
Judge Smith spent the day in the district
court yesterday in hearing a couple OF cases
and incidentally acting as p~eacemaker be-
tween two attorneys.
The friction among the attorneys was de-
veloped when I. N. Flickinger interposed
an objection to the court permitting H.. }.
Chambers taking a default in a case OF fore
closure Of a mortgage on real estatet involv-
ing nearly SIS, 900. The plaintiff was VIII
bur W.. Holcomb of Wisconsin and the de-
PENDANT Daniel Dull of New York. The mort
gage was on farm property located near
Weston. Chambers, for the plaintiff, hae
served notice on the defendant by publica-
ton, and when the time came for hearing
the defendant had not engaged an attorney.
Flickinger Bros. had been looking after his
legal business in this county, and claimed
the right to represent him. Chambers filed
an affidavit denying this and stating that
in numerous conversations with the oppo-
site attorney he had stated that he was
daily expecting to receive written instruc"
tions from the New York man. When tho
hour for taking the default arrived Flick
niger appeared with a bond and motion to
remove the case to the United States cir4
cult court. Then there was a very earnest
coloquy between the two attorneys. Cham
bers insisted upon Flickinger showing the
court some evidence of his right to appear
In the case. This request Flickinger ac-
coded to by producing a telegram from Dull
with a date showing that 1t was received
about twenty minutes after the time Cham"
bers had made known to the court his in
~teDtions to take a default.
The attorneys argued the case to the court
and also to each other for several minutes.
Judge Smith took the case under advise
ment and will render his decision this morn
ing.
All the afternoon was consumed in hearing
the case OF Eugene Mottaz against Charles
Huber. The controversy involves about
three feet Of frontage on Broadway and the
east wall Of the fine building erected by
Huber Bros. last season and now used as
their butcher shop. The matter has been
built on the ground before 1t was ~satisfac-
torily settled. The Hubers own two lots. 7
and 8, and Mottaz owns the adjoining one.
All of the lots fronting on Broadway In the
block are recorded in the plat with a speci-
fled number Of feet, with one exception.
Tho exception is the east lot. owned by Al
Huber. 1t is marked on the plat and pro-
perly numbered, but the deed does not call
for any certain number of feet. Its size
has been determined by the added measure
ments OF the other lots, and II was to COM
contention OF Mottaz. The Hubers claim
that both their lots have twenty-five feet
frontage, The case is being warmly con-
tested. Many OF the old citizens and all
OF the surveyors in the city are subpoenaed
as witnesses.
The grand jury is still grinding away, but
will not be ready to report before the first
of next week. The prospects are good that
1t will return a number Of indictments.

Congressman Hulrs Tip nnd Its He
enURrN.

Congressman HulTs Tip and Its Re-
cOvcrv.
Probably no class of men are 50 easily
~vlctlmized as congressman. On this text
a number of popular house members could
tell a series of interesting experiences, says
the Washington Post.
The other day a stranger sent his card
in to Representative Hull Of Iowa. When
the member made his appearance the
stranger explained that he was one OF his
constituents and was in Washington in a
state of temporary financial embarrassment
Although Mr.. Hull did not know the man.
he handed him a S. bill, and turned to go
back into the house. The conversation had
been overheard by one Of the capitol de-
t~ectives, and Hull had no sooner turned his
back than the etrangn found himself In
custody of the officer.
81 want you," said the detective.
why What have | done ?" asked the man
in surprise.
Yesterday you represented yourself to be
a constituent of Representative Perkins"
replied the officer, land succeeded in getting
him to give you some money, and today you
worked Hull on the same racket. l think
I'll just lock you up in the guard ROOM"
Some one called Hull's attention to the
arrest of the man just as he was being
escorted to the lock up.
Il believe that man has been playing me
for a farmer he remarked. Then a sudden
impulse seized him, and running after the
fellow he said:
Look here, you are a dead-beat. I'm
firmly convinced of 1t. Give me back that
five, quick"
The man made haste to restore his i'll
gotten gain, and marched along with the
officer, who soon after released him with a
reprimand.
81 may be a farmer,' thoughtfully re-
marked the Iowan, as he slipped his bill
back into his vest pocket, "but l don't like
to have people act as though they saw hay
seed in my curls.'

Human Heart Beats.

A remarkable calculation has been made
by DR.. Richardson for the Medical Record.
1t gives the work of the heart in mileage,
the amount of blood thrown through the
veins and winds up with giving the exact
number Of times a human heart will beat in
a lifetime of eighty-four years! A verbatim
copy of the most interesting portion of
this remarkable calculation is given be-
low:
= Presenting that the blood is
thrown out of the heart at each pulsation
in the proportion of sixty-nine strokes per
minute, and at the assumed force of nine
feet, then we must come to the following
startling conclusion: That the mileage of
the blood through the body must be taken
at 207 yards per minute, seven miles per
hour, 1853 miles per day, or 1890 miles
per year. At the above rate in a lifetime
of eighty-four years the blood mileage of
the body is not less than $3.50, $50, and in
the same long life the grand total of heart
beats will approximate 2,S69, 776, 00O."

Found dead I

Found dead
There is something so shocking about
sudden death that the mere mention of it
wrenches the nerves of sensitive people.
Millions of people pray for deliverance from
1t. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church
in the world, these words are said
From battle, and murder and sudden death,
Good Lord, deliver us"
Just why sudden death should be shock
ing, and death after lingering disease easy
to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It
would seem that it would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away, daily
becoming weaker-daily slipping toward A
death no less certain because it was slow in
coming. Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease more than cholera-
more than yellow fever more than any
other disease the world has ever known.
And yet people are careless about it. A man
iii danger of sudden death from heart dis
ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping
quiet and avoiding excitement. C%onsump-
ton goes right on with its deadly work, no
matter what the man does or how he con-
ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right
medicine to cure it. Consumption affects
the whole body. 1t is a blood disease. 1t
permeates the whole system. 1t shows in
the lungs because the blood goes to the
lungs for publication. 1t carries impurities
there to be made pure. If there is too much
loaded impurity stops there. The
germs of disease stop there. They develop
and multiply and then consumption takes
definite form. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
