The trial of the case Of Daniel S.
Mosby. by his guardian ad Item S. w
Mosby. against Matt. T. Osborn, the
Geyser Mining company and Emerine
Dressler was begun before Judge
BiIes yesterday, with Messrs. e. B..
Critchlow, w. II. Dickson and A. c.
Ellis, jr., representing the plaintiff and
Messrs. Lea, Brown, Henderson and
Dey for the defendants.
In the complaint it was alleged that
Daniel 5. Mosby is now and for more
than ten years has been an insane per-
son, confined in the asylum at Las We
gas. n. NJ; that since Nov. 8, 1880, the
said Mosby has been the owner of half
of the Geyser mining claim, having
bought the same from Osborn for
g 900. Osborn at that time owning the
whole of the mine. The $1,000 was to
be spent in developing the property,
and AIosby agreed to furnish $1,000
more to be used in the same manner.
1t was also alleged that from the pro-
fits Of the mine MOsby was to be re-
imbursed for the advances made by
him, and Osborn was also to be SIM
Harry reimbursed in whatever money
he might advance, after which Mosby
and Osborn We're to share equally in
the profits from the mine.
The complaint then goes on to state
that in January, 1895. after Mosby had
lost his reason and was in the asylum.
Osborn represented to Emerine Dress
Ter, mother Of Mosby, that the deed
given by Osborn to Mosby for the
half interest in the property was mere
~ mortgage to secure him for the
money he had advanced, and same was
not an absolute deed to the property.
Mrs Dressler is an old lady over q
years of age, and il is alleged that
Osborn induced her to become the
guardian of her insane son, and while
she was acting as such, and being too
old and infirm to attend to business or
understand affairs. Osborn brought
suit against her as guardian of Mosby
10 recover the deed to Mosby's half
of the property on his paying the $1,000
advanced by Mosby. and in said suit
Osborn obtained judgment, having in
duced Mrs. Dressler not to defend the
action.
II is alleged that the mine was pat
ented in the names of Osborn and
Mosby; that the appointment of Mrs.
Dressler as guardian Of Mosby was IL
legal, no notice of the application for
such being served on NIosby or any
OF his friends. and, further. that al
though Osborn received the deed to
Mcsby's half of the property, he never
pald the $0,OOO, ana that Osborn S
representations throughout were false
and fraudulent.
The Geyser Mining company was
then orga nized and the property con-
veyed to it by Osborn by a quit claim
deed, including Mosby's half interest.
Plaintiff then prays that the order
of the probate court of Tooele county.
appointing Mrs. Dressler guardian of
Mosby, be set aside; thai the orde. and
Judgment of the district court, granting
Osborn the deed to Mosby's half of
the property, be also set aside and
that Mosby be declared the owner OF
half of the Geyser mining claim
The defendants denied all the ma
terial allegations of the complaint and
alleged that the deed to Mosby was in
fact and in truth a mortgage, and
nothing more.
The trial was proceeding when court
adjourned until this morning.

FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.
Those Who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be
reminded that a cure for this disease
may be found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheuma-
tism, and have been completely and
permanently cured, prove the power of
this medicine to rout and conquer this
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One
True Blood Purifier, and it neutralizes
the acid which causes the aches and
pains Of rheumatism. This is why it
absolutely cures when liniments and
other outward applications fail to give
permanent relief. Be sure to get

In the house the tariff bill was reported
back from the ways and means commit
tee, and an order was adopted for taking
the final vote on March 81. The sundry
civil and general deficiency appropriation
bills were passed.
WASHINGTON, March 23-In the senate
yesterday the committee amendments to
the Anglo American arbitration treaty
were adopted. A resolution calling for the
correspondence in the Ruiz case was
agreed to, and many bills were introduced
In the house the debate on the tariff bill
was opened by Mr. Dingley, who spoke in
favor of the measure. Mr.. Wheeler of Ar
kansas opened the debate on the part of
the Democrats In opposition to the bill.
The minority report in opposition to the
Dingley billwas presented by Mr. Bailey
of Texas. Il urges that the bill Is essen
TALLY protective measure and holds that
protective tariff Is an unjust system Of
raising revenue; that It discriminates in
favor of the manufacturer aud against the
laborer, fosters trusts and encourages ex-
trayaganee and does not equitably distrib-
ute the burden Of taxation. it Is also
claimed by the minority that the proposed
law provides for the raising of vastly more
revenue than is needed for the economical
administration Of the government.

The decision of the silver men to con-
tinue their fight for the 80 cent dollar,
despite the emphatic verdict Of the peo-
pie in November, is appropriately fol-
lowed by the organization in New York
of sound money league, which is to be
national in its character and in the
scope of its work From this time on
till the next presidential election the
dissemination of money facts and cor
rect views as to money is to be contin-
ued.
The most efficient agency of the last
campaign was the sound currency COM
mittee of the New York Reform club,
and its publications, each given to
some one phase of the currency ques-
ton, were invaluable to speakers and
writers. A sound basis for currency re-
form was thus laid in the minds of thou
sands who were cropping after the truth.
These publications, 1t is stated, are to
continue. An effort is to be made to
widen the field of operations by class
of writings of more popular character

Much was done in six months Of
1895 to uproot the erroneous ideas
planted in five years of populist agita-
tion. Errors had fiourished simply be-
cause they had not been confronted with

systematically inculcated as fallacy was,
and the result cannot but be most
wholesome. Baltimore Sun.
