PHmbE sch Cases

The Juneau Telephone says that the
circuit court has been occupied since
Wednesday morning in the trial OF
number of so-callcd Rambusch cases.
The first one was that of Arthur NAL
daner against Fred Gogert and wife, OF
Lowell The Gogerts borrowed -, 900
from Rambusch in 1891 and gave him
a note and mortgage for the amount
At |; s.st they SO swore. Shortly after
a mortgage for So, 600, given to Henry
MalGarer, Sr, and signed by the
Cog. rts was recorded. \ r. Maldaner
resided in Watertown. He is now
dead and his son, to whom the mort
gage was assigned, is the plaintiff. The
GogeIts claim they never gave mort
gage to Maldaner. They said they
gave it to Rambusch at 5 per cent.
and paid the interest annually. They
showed receipts to this effect given to
them by Rambusch. Rambusch's cash
book showed that the mortgage was
| So, 600 and the interest 500. The
case was finally settled by the giving
of new note and mortgage by the

GEORGE THAUER DEAD.
A Leading Business Man and Worthy
Citizen Succumbs to Pneumonia.


Citizen SuccumbS to Pneumonia.
Although not wholly unexpected,
the announcement of the death of
George Thau6r last Thursday after
noon was received with great surprise
and universal regret by our citizens.
The news came to hardly no one with
cut expressions OF this sort. Pneu-
monia was the cause of Mr.. Thauer's
untimely end. He had been confined
to his home only about week, but
the attack was SO severe and the pa
TENTS constitution such that his life
was despaired of from the first by those
nearest to him. The best of medical
skill could not aid him in this last
ravaging assault and he succumbed to
the inevitable just after having sue
cessfully launched on a promising and
useful career.
Mr.. Ihauer was born on the old
homestead in the town of Emmett, some
six miles northwest of the city, thirty
seven years ago. He was educated in
the district schools and the North
western university, and after
| lowed the vocation of teaching for
several years. In 1888 Mr.. Thauer
moved into the city and bought an in
terest in the general merchandise store
of Christian Becker, the firm name
being Becker & Thauer. Poor health
compelled him to retire from business
after five years, and the succeeding
| l., Ii -,
Ennet and in Colorado for the bet
terment of his health. He returned
from the latter place in an improved
state and resumed his business pur-
suits IN company with Mr.. Becker,
in which he was still engaged when
death claimed him. The firm has
piled very profitable trade and
bears a high reputation in this locali-
ty.
Mr.. Ihauer was prominent in the
mercantile circles of the city and had
a very Large acquaintance in the sur
rounding territory. While known to
be sherewd and conservative, he was al
the same time enterprising and ever
ready to advance the city's interests
Modest and unassuming, kindly and
just in his daily intercourse, and in
the home all that husband and faith.
er should be, Mr. Thauer was truly
a desirable citizen and one who will
be greatly missed from the circles il
which he moved. He was married
some ten years ago to Miss Mary AL
trogge, who survives him, together
with two sons and one daughter.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon, the first services being held a
the home, Gil Western avenue, a.
1:3O O'Clock. The immense concours,
of people who took this occasion t.
pay their last tribute to the departed
attested plainly the measure of esteem
and respect in which he was held

Town Must Paw,

Two important suits for damages
were recently decided in the circuit
court at Juneau. DR.. L. P. Him, the
Oldest physician of the village of
Theresa, and August Moldenhauer, a
farmer of the town, each sued the
town of Theresa for $4,000 dam
ages. DR.. Him brought the action
for personal injuries received on an
alleged defective highway in the
town. On the night of December
l, 1896, DR.. Him encountered a
team going in an opposite direction
on the road. Seeing that the road
was very narrow he got out and
taking his horses by the uoridles
attempted to direct a passage. The
horses we're either crowded Of or SHE'D
off the road and went over the en-
bankment. They ran away, broke the
harness and buggy and the >ctor was
badly hurt, The towns eff ;ers con-
tended that the road was in safe
condition and that DR.. Hinn's unruly
horses were to blame.
While Dr. Hinn's horses were run
ming away they ran into a team and
lumber wagon driven by August Mol
denhauer, and the latter was badly
hurt.
DR.. Him was awarded $3.50 damages,
while Mr.. Moldenhauer's claim against
the town was assessed at 81, 500, it
being proved quite conclusively that
the latter plaintiff will be crippled for
life as result of his injuries. The
town may appeal from each decision.

The fact that Aid. Henry Mulberger
has signed a bond in the sum of 500
guaranteeing payment Of costs in the
appeal from the order of the county
court in the Cole will matter, brought
by Harlow Pease as counsel for the
city, caused somewhat of a stir at
last nights meeting of the common
council. The mayor invited attention
to the matter by reading the bond
and ordering it referred to the judic-
iary committee and the city attorney.
Several of the aide m q expressed
their views on the 81 b ect and the
feeling seemed to exist With some that

vestigate matters relating to the Cole

agreed with him that the decision in

since then he has had no reason to

INDIAN INK.
The Superior Kinds Are Used In China
and Not Exported.

Al interesting account of the manufac'
ture of the so called Indian ink, which Is
made only in the Anhui province of CHI
ma, is given by Mr. Fraser, our consul at
Wuku, on the Yang-tse, in his trade re-
port. Its more correctly called China ink
-enore de Chine-and from Anhui 1t goes
20 every part of China and all over the
world In 1895 about two tons OF 1t, val
aed at 1854, were exported from Shanghai
10 foreign countries The materials with
which this beautiful black ink is made are
sesamuln or COLA oil, or the oil expressed
from the poisonous seeds of tree extern
siyely cultivated in the Yang-tse valley
and also we'll known in Japan. To this
varnish and pork fat are added The lamp
black made by the combustion of these
substances is classed according TO the ma
terials and the grade OF fineness and also
according to the time taken over the proc
ess of combustion The paste made of
this lampblack has some glue added and
is beaten on wooden anvils with steel ham
mers. Two good hammerers can prepare
in day so pieces each weighing nan
pound. A certain quantity of musk OF
the musk deer, or of Baloos camphor, Tor
soenting, and gold leaves, varying from 20
10 100 TO the pounu, are auueu w Si'0
metallic luster.
The materials thus prepared are nodded
in molds of carved wood and dried, which
takes about 90 days in fine weather, ana
adorned with Chinese characters in gid
ing. About 80 or 32 average sized sticks
of ink go to the pound. The price varies
from 2s or less per pound TO as much as
81, there being over a dozen different
grades. Nearly all writing is done by the
natives throughout China, Japan, Korea,
Tonquin and Anam with this China ink,
rubbed down on stone ink slab and ap-
piled with paintbrush of sable, fox or
rabbit hair, set in a bamboo holder, and
when not in use carefully covered with
brass cap. The superior kinds
of this ink appear to be used in China and
not exported. Manufacturer.

His First Music Lessons.

Max Muller the famous oriental schol-
ar, in Cosmopolis tells how he began his
music lessons. 1t should be promised that
his father was dead and he and his moth
er were living at his grandfather's:
There was large garden stretching out
behind the house, which was our play
ground. Our neighbors' gardens were sep
arated on each side from our own by a
low hedge only.
Our neighbor on the right side took
dodgers, and one of them was young man
under f. Schneider and at the same time
TO give music lessons. He had been theo-
logical student, but had umgesattelt
(changed saddles), and now tried to sup
port himself as best he could at Dessau.
He often talked to me across the garden
hedge Il was only years old.
One day he lifted me across into his own
garden and asked whether / would like to
learn the pianoforte l, of course, said yes,
and he then made me promise to come to
him every day for half an hour, but not to
say q word to my mother or anybody else.
The bargain was struck. / kept my mu-
sic quite secret, till, after about half q
year or so, / sat down at my grandfather
pianoforte, and, to the amaZement of ev.
erybody, played some easy pieces OF Mo
Fart or Diabelli OF course the young thee
logical student-bis name was Kahle-wai
engaged at once to be my music teacher
He charged 8 groschen (sixpence) for Q
lesson, and made very rapid progress.

QUEENS WHO SMOKE.
The Use of Cigarettes Extending Among
Women All Over Europe.

Women All Over Europe.
According to Les Annales, the empress
of Austria smokes from 80 to 40 cigarettes
a day. The dowager empress of Russia is
a confirmed smoker, but confines her in
diligence to her own private apartments,
apparently in Difference to the feelings Of
the young czarina, who is opposed to the
use of cigarettes, which has become preva-
lent among women in the best society in
ST. Petersburg.
The queen of Roumania, the queen re-
gent of Spain, Queen Amelia of Portugal,
who in this respect follows the example of
her mother, the wife of the Comte de Par
Is, and the queen of Italy are all smokers.
"In France" Les Annales continues,
"tbe association of men and women In all
kinds of sports has been the cause of a
greater degree of intimacy and has brought
us to accept the cigarette, whose use Is ex
tending among young women OF the most
exclusive circles. Even the most critical
no longer protest when two rosy lips send
out few puffs of smoke between n couple
of games of tennis. Besides, our grand
mothers loved tobacco. The Duchess of
Charities and the Duchess of Bourbon I'M
der Louis XIV even went so far as to
smoke pipes-yes, pipes, my dears. And in
the Letters of Traveller we read that
George Sand always kept tobacco on hand
for her own personal use.
Sin all times Spanish women have
smoked, and not only cigarettes, but CT
gars. Marriott in his Memoirs tells us this
without mincing matters. And they smoke
in England and in the United States, al
though in the latter country it is only re-
Gently that women have begun to use to-
bacco. There was a story in Gil Bias not
long ago to tho effect that three young
girls in Louisville were seen smoking by a
policeman and were arrested. The judge,
although recognizing that the accused
were not conforming to the proprieties,
felt bound to release them because they
were violating no law.

INDIA NEWSPAPERS.
Daily aud Weekly Publications Flourished

Daily aud Weekly Publications Flourished
There Before the European Conquest.
India can jointly claim to have share
"a very considerable share-in the birth
of the newspaper Ages before the Euro
pean conquest every court had a weekly,
sometimes daily, news letter, which was
sent out TO the principal towns and read
with dilgent attention by wealthy people,
mobiles and especially by all officials, IL
was not, however, until after the English
conquest that the newspaper, as the word
is now understood, was established in In
dia, the first English journal in that coun-
try appearing about 1918, and not until
the middle of the country did the Indian
natives begin TO publish papers in their
own language.
The Indian press may be roughly dl
vided into three classes. The first consists
of English newspapers published in the
large cities, such as Calcutta and Bombay,
generally very creditable productions con-
Quoted by scholarly Englishmen or Anglo
Indians. The second class is composed of
papers edited and published by natives,
the matter being generally half in Eng
lish and half in "a native language, though
the proportion varies The third class con-
stitutes those journals which are publish
ed entirely in "a native language, this class
being by far the most numerous of all.
The oriental is fond of parade, even in
language, and the longer the words the
more attractive in his eyes and TO his ears
is the style 1t is not at all remarkable,
therefore, that, considering his imperfect
knowledge of English, the long words of
which the Indian native editor is so fond
should sometimes be misplaced or incor-
rectly employed, nor that the metaphors
in which he delights should frequently be
grotesquely mixed Most of the natives
who read English are familiar with the
literature which is distributed in enor-
nous quantities by the missionaries, and
have adopted from 1t many pious express
sions that, appropriate enough in a homily
or prayer, are ridiculously out Of place in
"a leading article. -Exchange.

Worn Knees.

Many stories are told Of the keen wit
and ready speech of DR.. Mason, once
pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian church
in New York. Not only was he great
and eloquent preacher, but many of his
most telling lessons were given in private
rather than in the pulpit. SO heard, they
were sure to be repeated and not forgotten.
He had great fondness for animals and
particularly for horses, of whose good
points he was said to be an excellent Judge
On one occasion brother minister, who
was intending to buy horse, met DR..
Mason and stopped to ask his opinion of
the animal which he was then driving.
DR. Mason surveyed the horse with long
and careful scrutiny, and after several in
articulate sounds of approval and disap-
pioval he finally pointed to the animal
knees, which were decidedly worn in as
pect
"That is good sign for a minister, "
said he, with humorous smile, 'but it is
very bad sign for minister's horse. -
