Will Sell the Court House.

The Sheriff OF Henry county has
notified the Clerk of the Court OF APP
peals that he is about to sell the
Henry county Court House to satisfy
an execution for costs issued by the
clerk of the high court. The town of
Newcastle and Henry county went to
law over the removal of lamp post,
The Court of Appeals decided against
the county, and the latter has to pay
the costs. An execution for said
costs was issued, and the Sheriff says
the Treasurer refused to pay it, so he
levied on the Court House, the only
piece of property he could find that
was owned by the county, and says
that he will sell it unless the County
Court ponies up.

A check that was issued by the
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany fourteen years sgo, was re-
tnrned through the bank at Grens-
burg Monday. 1t was issued to p.
Chadouin, of Green county, August
30, 1888, and the amount was 1910.
No explanation of the long delay of
Mr.. Chadouin in making the collec-
ton was given. The check was
smooth, clean and had been well
taken care of, but why it had been al
lowed lie idle fourteen years it is i'm
possible to cav. The interest on it at
6 per cent. would amount to nearly
$3.50. but this was lost to Mr.. Cha
douin.

Louisville School Board Loses
$4,000

The board claimed per capita for
$4,000 school children. State Super
intendent Davidson, refused to pay
for this number, claiming that there
were only $4,000 children. The board
brought suit. Judge Cantrill decided
in favor of the Superintendent, but
that the schools should be paid for
1000. The case was appealed. The
Court Of Appeals through Judge
Hazelrigg affirmed the decision. The
court also decided that the school
sensus should be taken annually, thus
declaring the law requiring regular
census only once in five years to be
class legislation and unconstitutional.
This means that the other schools of
the State will have $25, 900 additional
to be apportioned among them. This
reveals big mistake in the returns,
and looks like fraud had been prac-
ticed.

Those Who Endure

The pains Of rheumatism should be
reminded that cure for this disease
may be found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have
taken Hoods Sarssparills for rheu-
matism, and have been completely
and permanently cured, prove the
power of this medicine to rout and
conquer this disease. Hoods Ssrss-
parills is the One True Blood Purifier
and 1t neutralizes the acid which
causes the aches and pains of rheums-
item. This is why It absolutely cures
when liniments and other outward
applications fail to give permanent
relief. Be sure to got Hoods.

Uncle And Nephew on the Su-
preme Bench.

II is interesting to note that Judge
Field leaves in active service upon
the bench his nephew, David Josiah
Brewer, whom he, when boy in the
Orient, handled upon his knee. Judge
Field has been lifelong Democrat,
his appointment to the court having
been made partly because of his init
mate acquaintance with the Spanish
and Mexican laws, which largely con-
trolled property rights on the Pacific
coast, and with the mining laws of
California, of which he was the au-
thor. During his active service on
the bench he was one of the strongest
figures of the court. The nephew he
leaves behind him is generally recog-
nized as being without q superior in
that eminent group ofjurists. Judge
Brewer has always been Republi-
can. He was born in Smyrna, Asia
Minor, and after graduating from
Yale aud the Albany Law School set
tied at Levenworth, Kan, where he
practiced his profession, holding va
rious local judicial positions, includ-
ing that of Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State. In 1884 he was
appointed Judge of the Circuit Court
and in December, 1889, was elevated
to the Supreme bench in the place of
the late Justice Stanley Matthews.
Uncle and nephew were often found
taking opposite views on cases which
have deem before the Supreme Court
for adjudication during the last eight
years. This probably is the only in
stance in judicial history-certainly
in that of the Supreme Court of the
United States-where uncle and
nephew have been members of the
court at the same time,

Fenced With Corn Knives.

Two sixteen-year-old boys, sons of
farmers living near Deputy, Ind, en-
gagged in fencing contest with corn
knives. The blades were long and
keen, and as neither was expert in
the use of such weapons. one of them
received thrust which came in close
proximity to the heart and death was
the result. Let the aspiring young
American duelist remember that only
Lords, Dukes and Princes of foreign
nations can fence with impunity.

ALMOST AS BIG AS A WHALE-Mul-
berry street had free show from Sat-
urday afternoon until Monday night.
The exhibition closed when Alfonso
Mussacci cut up the exhibit and put it
on sale for feasting purposes also much
Il chunk.
The wonderful thing which all Null
berry street had gone to Mussaccl'5
market first to see and afterwards to
buy. was horse mackerel almost ss
big az a whale. The monster was 9
feet long, q feet thick and 81 feet
through from the backbone. 1t weigh
ed 900 pounds.
Captain De Silva's fishing crew
caught the fish off Block Island last
week and on Saturday took it to Ful-
ton Market, where it was displayed,
to the wonder of all the deniz9ns Of the
neighborhood. Big horse mackere
Fulton Market had seen before, but
such giant as this one few fishermen
and marketmen had ever beheld. It
was surrounded by curious crowds Tor
a long tim; then Mussacci came along
and bought it.
A dollar hundred was the price
Mussacci paid for the giant, aud there
were those who said he paid too mucn.

RUST PROBABLY IN VIRGINIA

RUST PROBABLY IN VIRGINIA
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
Many things indicate that Frederick G
Rust, the patient at the Pennsylvania
Hospital, who was abducted, has been
removed to his native place in Virginia
.nd that his legal guardian and his
bondsmen have a fairly correct idea
woere ne is. The police detectives of
Philadelphia have not moved in the
case, aud the counsel who presented
the petition for the abducted man do
not know what to do. While they hal
their clients here his estate was respon
slble for all the costs of the proceedings
10 liberate him, and it was with d
knowledge of that fact that the Vir
ginia relatives kidnapped him. Both
che object of the contention and the
source of ammunition to engage in it
nave dissolved from view as If by magic
and the lawyers for Rust's petition are
aot disposed to take the blow so phllo-
sophically as they might. 1t appears
mat the Hon. r. T. ". Duke, jr., OF
Charlottesville, as legal guardian
of Rust, having knowledge of
certain mysterious efforts in Phil
adelphia to free him from restraint,
applied to the authorities of The Penn
sylvauia Hospital for the Insane 10
nave the patient remsnded to the luna
,ic asylum at Staunton, Va. AS pro-
ceedings had been begun 10 the courts
mere to test the patients mental
condition, the superintendent of the
hospital said it would be an act OF dis
courtesy TO send Rust out OF this jufis
fiction. The man had been legally
committed according to required forms
III Pennsylvania and he could not be re.
manded without resort to further legal
proceedings.
Then the scheme to kidnap Rust
probably was laid, and the Virginia
relatives who, in opposition to the Phil
adelphia relatives, believe that the cap
i've is not capable of managing and dis
posing of his $4,000 estate, seem to
save carried the day. At least the
Philadelphia lawyers for Rust think
they have.
The lawyers in the recent application
of Rust are undecided whether TO pro-
ceed against the Pennsylvania Hospi-
al for damages for permitting the es-
cape of the patient. They say that
attendant Lynch manifestly made no
show of resistance to the abduction.
But the lawyers perm itted the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital to shift the responsibility
to Duke, of Virginia, when the case
c.me nm in court. and it seems that
their only remedy now lies against
Duke and the sbductors, maybe, If these

ment Of liquor there is unlawful except
where specia permits are granted, but
many saloons receive fresh consign-
ments by every steamer, though liquor

Means are found for the taking Of it

will be taken OF the visit Of an expert to
Central Asia and tree seeds from there
are expected. Professor Hanson, of the
Agricultural college Of South Dakota,
who has arranged to go to Europe, Will
be sent eastward to Asia to bring seeds
Of trees and lgunes.
Special effort will be made to obtain
the latter in various places because OF

says, this government, will probably buy
ten or twelve tons of sugar beet seeds
for distribution.
