A CLEVER TRICK.
How . shrewd Lawyer Saved His Client
From Imprisonment.


How . shrewd Lawyer Saved His Client
From Imprisonment.
A lawyer sometimes may be able to
advance his clients interests by a trick,
but such an experiment always Ia high
ly dangerous and rarely pans out we'll
Some time ago Chicago lawyer was
called upon TO defend young man who
had been arrested for passing counter
felt $40 bill. The prosecution made out
O clear case. Several clerks were called
10 identify the bogus bill and to swear
that the prisoner passed it. While he
was handling the bad bill the attorney
for the defense deftly palmed it and
substituted for il genuine bill. The
witnesses promptly swore that the bill
port summoned from bank was put
upon the stand and pronounced the bill
genuine.
Then the attorney explained the mat
ter by saying: 81 have here in my pock
ct the counterfeit bill which figures in
this case, and which we do not claim is
genuine. But the witnesses for the pros
ecution have been deceived in open
court concerning the appearance Of a
genuine bill which they have pronounc-
ed bad. If they could be so deceived as
to believe good bill was counterfeit,
why is it not reasonable to suppose that
my client might have been deceived
into believing counterfeit bill was
genuine?"
And the jury took that view of the
matter. r.-Chicago Times.

Obituary.

On Tuesday afternoon at four O'Clock
occurred the death of Mrs. S. NJ. Schiek
at her home on Maple street in this city.
Her illness has been long and very trying
and marked at times by desperate sink
ing spells which even the kindest
nursing and most faithful medical at
tendance could not turn aside. 1t was
during such crisis that she expired.
A brief funeral service was conducted
Wednesday afternoon at $50 by Rev. Z
d. Bewick, and the remains of Mrs
Schiek were conducted to the railway
station by a company of relatives and
sympathizing friends. Mr.. Taggart
accompanied the casket on the train, and
will take his charge across half the
continent to the family burying plot, adj
Joining the Beecher lots, in Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn. Here the remains
of Mrs. Schiek will rest beside those OF
her missionary husband, whose ennobliDg
tasks she so bravely attempted to fulfill,
but found too heavy for her unaccustom-
ed shoulders.
Mrs. Schiek came to this city with her
family last Sep; ember. With the ex-
ception of a married daughter in the
East, who recently visited her, her
children will still remain in this city. a
memorial service in her honor will be
held at the Baptist church on the return
of Mr.. Taggart-probably Sunday,
August Sth.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for re-
storing the tired out nervous system
to healthy vigor is Electric IIitters.
This medicine is purely vegetable,
acts by giving tone to the nerve cent
ers in the stomach, gently stimulates
the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these
organs in throwing off impurities in
thc blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite, aids digestion, and is
pronounced by those who have tried
it as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

Save the Profits.

Mutual Insurance, such as that Of
fered by the River Falls City Mutual
Fire Insurance Company, means in
surance at cost. That the old line
insurance companies have been charg-
ing excessive rates is apparent from
their own record. The American
stock companies doing business in
Wisconsin, show the following profits:
Dividends paid stockholders in 1895,
$3.50, 953. Increase in net surplus in
1895, S6,S6S. 735. Dividends paid stock
holders in 1896, $500, 1l6. Increase
ia net surplus in 1896, l,127, Al.
Some have already in 1897 declared
dividends Of 25 per cent. In order to
save these enormous amounts insure
in the Mutual Company.
