FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims TO BE a Benefactor TIC
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
over1ows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. de-
sireS to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
| they continue to live an existence OF
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result of many years
| research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective In restor
ing to men the strength they need. II
| would seem that all men suffering
with any form OF nervous weakness
ought to write for such remedy a.
once A request to n. q. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo. Mich. stating that yor
are not sending for the prescription
ont of idle curiosity, but that you wisf
to make use of the medicine by giving
II trial, will he answered promptly
and without evidence as to where In
formation came from
The prescription is sent free. and al
though some may wonder how MI
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery. there Is no doubt about thu
offer being genuine. Cut this out anC

Municipal appropriations for pub
lie libraries in the state of New York
have considerably more than doubled
in three years. In 1884 the amount
was $40,OOO, in 1897 it was 500, 100
This shows that the cities of the En-
pire state of the east are not giving
all their monies to street and material
improvements at the expense of the
educational growth. Public libraries
are not only growing in importance
as recognized means of educa-
ton, but the character of the
proves. The lighter literature is not
gaining upon the more solid works.
Let the growth go on.

St Louis courts hold that none of
the Mullanphy relief property, no
matter how invested, can be levied on
for taxes. This relief fund is devised
to the city, or rather the properties
from which the fund is created are
devised to the city in perpetual trust
for relief of poor immigrants passing
through st. Louis, and the court holds
that ''the Mullanphy relief fund.- is an
impossible owner and no lien against
it for taxes will hold. The fund goes
right along doing good relief business.

NOT TO BE THRILLED WITH.

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Joseph @. Jones, who, as
States Attorney in Rutland county,
deliberately refused to act in spirit
and letter honestly and professionally
as became lawyer, and then deliber-
ately lied or prevaricated in report
made to one of the judges, is..debarred
from practice by the Supreme Court.
The public will say, 'served him
right" The man assumed that he
could trifle with the prohibitory law
and let things go easy SO far as law
breakers were concerned. Some of
his surroundings in that county were
such gas would affect men of perhaps
greater ability and integrity than he
possessed. The following is the con-
Guiding portion of the decree of the
Court:
"The charges against the respond
ent found established by the commits
sioners are of very serious character.
They are infdelity to the interests of
his client, the State, and intentionally
Withholding facts which he knew were
material, from the judge when apply
ing for the certificate required by
statute to entitle him to draw his sal
ary, whereby the judge was deceived.
Fidelity to his clients and honesty and
frankness in dealing with the judges
in regard to discharging a duty to-
wards him and the State, required by
law, are prime qualifications of every
attorney, made so by his oath Of Office.
The charges touch the fidelity and in
tegrity of the respondent and show
him to be unworthy to minister at the
altar of Justice and that under the law
it is the duty of this court to with
draw from him the right which it
granted him, by admitting him to the
bar of this State. It is ne yer other
than a sad and painful duty for
court to be obliged to render such a
Judgment against one of it's accredited
officers.
Judgment that said Joseph @. Jones
is removed from the Office of attorney
atlaw and from the Office Of solicitor
in chancery. Judge Start dissents."
