your case free. Write now-it may re-

Almost every man in America has some
digestive trouble. When men meet, the
greeting usually is, ''Well, how are you ?''
That develops health talk. The man who
has no bowel OF stomach trouble is al
most a curiosity. Trouble is men take
no care of themselves. They eat as
though they had copper stomachs and
bowels of brass. By and by, overworked
nature rebels. Then come headaches,
nervousness, bad blood, liver and kidney
troubles. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
furnish help for constipation and torpid
liver, sick and bilious headach, dizziness,
sour stomach. loss of appetite, indixes-
tion OF dyspepsia, windy belchings, heart
burn, pain and distress after eating. and
kindred arrangements of the liver, stom-
ach and bowels. Accept no substitute.

A Great Advocate.

There are still some members OF the
New York bar who remember George
Wood. the contemporary OF Daniel
Lord, Ogden Hoffman, William Kent
James T. Brady and other distinguish
ed lawyers of many years ago. Inc
venerable Benjamin D. Stilliman had
described George Wood as being con-
spicuous for his great learning, his
wonderful power in stating his cases
and his mathematical power i'll argu-
ment He was great advocate. Fred
eric Il Condert some time ago told the
following story of Mr.. Wood: " can
remember, looking back to early boy
hood, that venerable figure and recall
speaking to one of his contemporaries
about him. The person to whom L
spoke said, Yes client OF mine got
an opinion from George Wood once
Well, said, how was it done, how
mnch did he charger for even in those
early days the professional instinct as
serted itself. Twill tell you, my friend
replied. My client went TO him and
said, "Mr Wood, would like to have
your opinion on these papers" "Give
me the papers and come back tomor-
row." said the great lawyer. The pa
pers were produced and the client de-
parted. The next day he presented
himself before Mr.. Wood, and the lat
ter said, "Fifty dollars" and nothing
more. The client was intelligent and
assumed that he should pay him that
sum, which he did. After waiting
awhile he asked, What about my pa
pers. Mr.. Wood?" "They are not
worth d-n," replied Mr.. Wood, and
he made no further comment on the
case.'"
David Dudley Field used to relate
the following: George Wood was the
personifcation of logic and cold as
marble. 1 was sitting beside him in
court one day when he arose to argue
case, and as he arose his coattails
caught the back of the chair and hung
lover it. Wood stood up and spoke,
should think, for fully two hours. but
never once did these coattails move.
ION one occasion a young lawyer
who had engaged George Wood to try
case was asked, How did the judge
charge the jury?' oh. George Wood
charged the jury was the reply. y

Lorain, o., Dec. 90. - One of the most
formidable ice gorges which was ever
seen in Black river has been causing
trouble and danger for the past forty
eight hours, and the end is not in sight.
Each minute adds to the jeopardy of
millions of dollars worth of vessel
property in the harbor. The tug MARI
nette has been splintered and derrick
scow disabled. The stern of the steam-
er Mida has been smashed in.
At night the second gorge broke and
sent six of the large ore vessels down
stream. These were caught by tug
and are being held against the immense
weight of ice that is bearing down upon
the fleet. The Nickel Plate railroad
bridge will be demolished if another
break occurs. Ice is piled up Is feet
high and covers several hundred yards.
Another gorge has been formed about
mile above the present damned fleet
and should this break all the boats
above will be added to the present jam.

from further action in this direction,
but the lower court held that he could
thus occupy the ground until such
time as it should be needed by the state.
The supreme court holds that an own

it into the lake for purposes of protec-
