SAXTON CASE.
IL is Argued Before the Supreme Court
By Assistant Secretary of
State Day.

A Columbus special, dated Wednesday,
says: Judge Day, the Assistant Sec
rctary Of State was in Columbus today
as one of the counsel in the supreme
court in the case of George d. Saxton
VS.. Sample G. George. Saxton is a
brother of the wife of President McKin-
ey. He is a resident of Canton, and is
rated there as a very rich man. Among
his properties in that city is the we'll
known SaXtOn block. In this block
several years ago Mr.. George and his
comely young wife took rooms. George
claims that Saxton alienated the affec-
tions of his wife, and he has sued him
for $50, OC0 damages on three grounds,
which are all a part and parcel of the
same act. In his petition he alleges that
the pair left that city together and went
to Dakota, where suit for divorce for
her from George was instituted and
won, Mn SaxtOn paying the entire costs.
They lived together as husband and wife
the petitioner AYERS, both in Dakota and
Iowa. In common pleas court Saxton
did not 1ghtthe case on its merits, but
filed demurrer based ON the statute of
limitation, claiming that more than five
years had elapsed since the acts com
planned of were said to have been com
mitted. The common pleas court sus.
tanned the demurrer, but the circuit court
reversed this Judgment, and Saxton has
carried the question up TO this court on
error, Judge Day represents Saxton in
the case"

Death of Aret Hivery.

Aret Hively departed this lif, Wednesday
evening about o'clock. He had been
i'll for several weeks, steadily declining
until life was ended. His age was 70
years and months. he had been liv-
ing with his son for some time, just
north Of the city. Interment will be at
Marlboro Saturday next. The writer
has been acquainted with Mr.. Hively for
more than half a century and can say
that ne was always progressive thinker
and quite reader. His religion was to
do as near right as he knew and he be-
lieved in good works but accepted no
creeds nor yet any political party that
did not harmonize with his convictions
of duty. He early enlisted in the anti
slavery cause, and was an abolitionist
when it cost something to be one. He
also advocated the equality Of the sexes
before the law. He was opposed to all
intoxicants as a beverage, hence for
more than twenty years he has never cast
u ballot for any person or party.

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
can't be cured.
There must be a cure for you some
where.
If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody is
liable TO make a mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indiges-
ton, and one out of three dyspeptics
doesn't know it. That is, he may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else.
Indigestion is the cause Of half OF our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medical roots and herbs, is the
most natural cure for Indigestion, 1t
relieves the symptoms and cures the
disease gently and naturally efficiently
giving fresh life, strength and health to
sick dyspeptics.

ARGUMENTS.

1t was on these contentious that Attor-
neys Upham and McCarty appeared in
court for DePeyster today and argued for
continuance. Prosecutor Pomerene
had the negative and showed how expen-
sive it was to keep state witnesses locked
up for long time and urged that ample
time had been given counsel for defense
to prepare their case. One claim was
that DePeyster's side of the case had no +
been printed, but the prosecutor inti-
mated that it was because DePeyster's
attorneys refused to allow him to tell his
side of it.
Counsel for defense then argued the
case at length, setting forth their posi-
ton as the attorneys for the accused, the
transitory character of their witnesses
and the unusually brief time to prepare
for trial. Both Attorneys Upham and
McCarty urged that further time be
given them, and that they were only ask
ing what the interest of their client de-
unprecedented in this court to force to a
quick trial man whose life is at stake,
and that there were witnesses in Pitts
burg whose depositlons must be taken
and who cannot be found ut once, espe-
cially in the brief time intervening before
the trial is set The fact that special
grand jury had been impaneled in the
middle Of the present term of court and
that trial was urged at the same term of

dent. The Stacy case and other cases
