She went in one of her rooms, presum-

between them. The rest of the family
retired.
In the morning about six O'Clock, Mrs,
Jonathan Creamer went to 90 in her
room as was her custom to do. The door
was locked, but she thought nothing of
this, as it was 10 unusual thing so early
IN the morning. but when she went later
on and found the door still locked, she

in window and saw his grand

his mother that his grandmother was in

Her head was only slightly leaned to one
side and she sat there as if asleep. She
was then cola. She was dressed in the

case of sudden death, Mrs. Jessie Foster,

in the matter and were disposed to dc
what they thought best and for the in

Some discussion was had on the matter
of the action of Council in ordering all
the plank crossings from the street to the
sidewalk taken up, as it would make
considerable inconvinence to many busi-

At it at Last,

John Ogden, the stone dealer, is doing
some work on South Laurel street that
might have been done many, many
moons ago, and the city would not have
been bankrupt. For years the alleyway
back OF M'Gear's store has been mud
hole, and narrow little crossing has
been afforded the people to get them
safely across 1t has dawned upon the
proper authorities that the crossings
might have been larger, and the work
men are putting couple of feet on it. A
whole lot of these little things might be
done from time to time that would be a
great benefit to the town, and would not
cause any issue of bonds. Councilman
higgins at Council, the other night
called attention to the crossings, over
Commerce street opposite the Clerks
once. Look at it, and you find some
two-feet stones sunk in the mud, and
this crossing is used very great deal. 1t
should be wider, and Mr.. Matthews, the
Second ward Councilman, says the i'm
provement will be made right away.
Let's get the town out of the old ruts.
When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs, is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many of the most dan
gerous diseases begin with simple indi-
gestion. The reason is that indigestion
(not-digestion, not-nourishment) weak
ems the system and allows disease germs
to attack it. The antidote is Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, strengthening, nourish-
ing, curative. 1t cures Indigestion and
renews strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach, by help
ing it to digest your food. 1t nourishes
you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
of pure herbs, plants and wine, is per-
fectly harmless and will certainly cure all
genuine stomach trouble. Sold by drug
gists, price 10 cents to $l.00 per bottle.

Tuesday Morning.

AuoSuay morning.
Court was in session again yesterday,
with Judge Hoagland presiding The
case which attracted the attention of the
Court was suit of replevin brought by
Mrs. Mary Davis, against her son, John
Davis, to recover goods claimed by her
to which her son, John, has possession.
John s. Mitchell, ESQ.,, represented
Mrs Davis, and William A. Logue, ESQ.,,
was counsel for John Davis. Mr.. Mitch
ell opened the case and said it was an
action brought by Mary Davis against
her son, John Davis, to recover goods and
chattels which he held in his possession,
and which by limit of statute he detained
in his possession. This action was
brought in September, 1896, but owing to
cases which preceded it, they had not a
chance to bring it any sooner. Under the
statutes Mr.. Davis was entitled to the 5000
act. the goods which her son held, and
to which she was entitled, and which
he detained, was read over by her coun-
sci, John s. Mitchell, Esq. The goods
which her son, John, had detained, were
valued at 1920, and adding damages to
these, the plaintiff asked that a Judgment
be given them.
Ex-Sheriff Allen r. Shinn was called,
and testified that while he was Sheriff he
served writ of replevin on John Davis,
for these goods, and that he gave him a
bond, signed by John Davis, Sept. 4,
1896. The bond was offered in evidence.
Robert F. Ayars, sworn, said he was
constable of this county. and served the
necessary papers on Mr. Davis. The
notice served was offered in evidence.
This was signed by Mary Davis, in Aug.
ust, 1896. When he served notice on Mr..
Davis, he (Davis) told him he had no
goods there belonging to her, and refused
to deliver up the goods. The witness
said Davis cursed pretty lively about it
at the time. His wife and others were
present.
