Republican papers are trying hard
to convey the impression that Jerry
Simpson voted against the Cuban
war resolutions. Jerry and Senator
Baker voted exactly alike but that
cuts no. figure with drowning Re-
publican who is struggling to get an
anchor on one little straw in the hope
Of pulling himself out Of the inunda,
ton. Jerry was opposed to the
namby pamby house resolutions
which gave Mckinley and Mark
Hanna full discretion as to whether
or when they should use the army
and navy in Cuban Intervention and
voted against said resolutions as
loud as he could, but when the OBJ
jectionable features were taken out
and mandatory provisions inserted
Jerry and Senator Baker both voted
"ayes." Surely there must be a
dearth of political capital against
Simpson when such stuff is called
into service. We all remember that
Mark Hanna was against interven.
ton until McKinley's unprecedented
plea for discretion; then Marcus
was for Intervention. What a picnic

they manipulated the strings on

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, aud that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
way to recovery, by purchasing of US
a bottle Of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name

tics, outside the halls of congress, has
been almost entirely tabooed. While
the patriotic citizens are off their

Suit for Damages.

Sult Tor Damages.
Isaac c. Bennett and Mary A.
Bennett, his wife, of Jackson township
have brought suit against John T.
Stewart for damages resulting from
the collection Of rents for three years
past, from the land occupied by them.
They have also filed a motion to have
personal judgment in foreclosure
against them in favor of the Equit-
able Securities Company, set aside.
The alleged facts 10 the case develop
peculiar transaction. Mr.. Bennett
bought his land in 1893 of the Equit-
able Securities Company. The con-
sideratiOn was $1,000. He paid 81 900
cash and gave mortgage for the re-
mainder including commission
mortgage Of $3.50 due Stewart. Failure
in crops and low prices caused him to
default in payment. He saw that he
must do something or lose his home.
In his extremity he went to Stewart,
who be says proposed to take care of
him provided he and Mrs. B. would
deed him the land in trust and pay
rent for the use of the land until they
could earn enough profit to pay the
principal, when the land was to re-.
vert to them. Mrs. Bennett was
brought to town, Stewart read the
deed to them and they signed it.
They both thought the deed read that
Stewart assumed and agreed to pay"
the mortgage, but it appeared later
that it read Subject to mortgage
lieu Of record"
Time wore on. Some time since
Mrs. Bennett was told by some one
that their place was ADVERTISED for
sale. She came to town to see about
it and says that Stewart told her that
such was not the case; told her to 90
home and worry no more abOutit. A
short time after that judgment was
taken by the Equitable SECURITIES
Co mpany and the place sold leaving a
personal judgment against the Ben
nettS.
Investigation shows that James
Lawrence entered appearance for
the BENEFITS as their attorney.
AffidavitS are on file by the BENEFITS
claiming that they never in any way
authorized Lawrence to represent
them in any capacity. Lawrence
seems to be gaining reputation for
this sort Of work, whether deserved
or not time and evidence only will
tell.
Mr.. Bennett is cripple and has
family of eight children.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Stewart claims that Bennett decided
him his equity in payment of the Sl6O
commission mortgage, and that there
was no understanding that the land
was to revert. Separate leases have
been made to the BENEFITS each year.
He disclaims having deceived or tried
to deceive them in any way. He says
that he and Lawrence drove by Ben.
netts one day coming from Corbin.
that he told Mr.. Bennett about the
suit, suggested that he had employed
Lawrence to file an answer for him
and that it would be a good idea for
him to do the same; that Bennett
there told Lawrence to do so.
The VOICE learns there has been
considerable speculation in the pur-
chase Of equities at small sum, by
several parties, holding them as long
as possible by the filing of answers in
suits for foreclosure, delaying pro.
ceedings and capturing two or three
years crops by these methods.
