TO BE TRIED HERE.
The Case of Racine's Mayor Against the
District Attorney.

District Attorney.
There is every prospect that the
action begun by Mayor James, of Ra-
cine, against District Attorney Peter
B. Nelson, of Racine county, will be
tried at the coming term of the Circuit
court, which is to be held March 10
The suit is brought on the ground that
Nelson is ineligible from the fact that
he also holds the position as royal
Danish vice consul.
1t is claimed that Mayor James at
torneys, Williams, Jones e Lewis, OF
Milwaukee, will serve notice on Mr..
Nelson to show cause why his demurrer
in the case should not be set aside as
frivolous. 1t is this question which
will be argued in the circuit court here,
while the case proper will probably be
tried in Racine.
The demurrer, to which the Milwau-
kee lawyers object, was prepared by
Mr.. Nelson's law partner, Attorney
John G.. Simmons, and specifies as the
grounds of objection to the complaint:
First-That the court has no juris-
diction of the subject of the action.
Secondhand said action is brought
by the relator, David G.. James, as a
private individual in the name of the
state, upon his own complaint, and that
he, the said David G.. James, has not
legal capacity to sue in this, towit:
that he has no interest in the subject of
the action, or only such interest therein
as would entitle him to maintain said
action in manner and form aforesaid.
Third That said complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action.

A Happy Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Bertha Silsdorf
and Frank Kruger was celebrated in
the Lutheran church, Bristol, on
Thursday. March 4. A large audience
gathered in the church at IL a. m. The
bridesmaids were Amelia Silsdorf and
Gusta Helm: the groomsmen we're Will
liam Kruger and Frank Silsdorf. At
11:30 the bridal party took the seats
provided for them facing the altar and
in front of the audience. Rev. f.
Schwefel, the pastor, preached the SER
mon from the following words of the
apostle Paul: Marriage is honorable
in ALL" Two special points were made
by the speaker in two questions and
their answers: Why should wediock be
kept in honor and fidelity? Because it
is of divine command. How can we
keep it in honor and fidelity? By
keeping it in the fear of God.
After the sermon the bridal pair took
their places on the first step of the ros-
trum, and by the ceremony of the
church, read by the pastor, were made
husband and wife. The pair then
knelt upon the second step while the
pastor, with his hands spread above
them, pronounced the Lords prayer
and the benediction. The entire serv-
ices were in German. The bridal party
with a large number Of guests left the
church and proceeded to the residence
of the brides parents where wedding
feast, graced with an abundance of
varied substantials and dainties, was
enjoyed to the full. The bride received
a large number of both useful and
beautiful wedding presents. The fol-
lowing guests from Caledonia, Racine
county, relatives and friends of the
BRIDE were present: Mr.. and Mrs. F..

Here is diamond, here piece of

them stands the mightiest of magicians
Mature. The food on your table,
and your own body; elementally the
same; yet between the two stands the
digestion, the arbiter of growth or de-
cline, life or death.
We cannot make a diamond; we
cannot make flesh, blood and bone. No.
But by means of the Shaker Digestive
Cordial we can enable the stomach to
digest food which would otherwise fer
ment and poison the system. In all
forms of dyspepsia and incipient con-
sumption, with weakness, loss of flesh,
thin blood, nervous prostration, the
Cordial is the successful remedy.
Taken with food it relieves at once. 1t
nourishes, and assists nature to nour-
ish. A trial bottle enough to show
its merit-10 cents.
Laxol is tbe best medicine for chill
