An Old suit Settled.

At this term of circuit court an
old suit which has been pending for
ten years or more has been settled.
1t was suit brought between John
w. Carothers and Geo. w. johnson
before Carothers died and at his
death his administrator A. J. Ca
rothers took up the suit. At his
death his administrator in turn as
sumed it. 1t has been before w. f.
Glasscock for three years. The
amount involved was not very large
large bnt it prevented a settlement
of the johnson estate after the as
signment of johnson which occurred
some years ago. The suit has been
dismissed agreed each party paying
his own costs. The settlement came
through the defendant paying five
hundred dollars to the plaintiff

The Civil Docket.

Clerk Glasscock has made out the
civil docket for the February term
Of court and there is curious state
of affairs revealed. THERE'S but one
new civil case to come for considera-
ton for the first time. There is an
other which comes up as an appeal
but there is but the one which will
be taken up for the first time. This
is a thing which has not hap
pened before in the memory of the
clerk. Usually there are from eight
to ten new cases, rarely less than ten
and sometimes more than that num-
Der If this keeps up the lawyers
Will be reduced to very short com
mons but there is very little danger
OF such a thing continuing for very
long time.

from force OF habit at the old stand.
The school board ticket has proven
the most exciting part of the election
which is being held to-day. The
tickets were distributed last night

LEWIS BAKER, of Wheeling, for
merly United States Minister to
Nicaragua, is out in strong paper
in which he defends the President of
Nicaragua against certain allegations
affecting his administration of af-

DISPOSITIONS were being taken yes
terday in the case of John L. Vince
against William A. Toothman for
his services as nurse A very large

THE lock on the mail box on the
corner of Front and Peasants street
has been broken for several days
and there is no mail being put in it.
For day or SO after it was broken
the public continued to put their
mail in the box regardless of the
fact that it was at the mercy of the
weather and other more dangerous
elements. They have finally quit
putting their letters in it.
THE so river men who left Mason
City for Pittsburg, Monday morn
ing, got into a general lfree-for- all
fight before they reached Sistersville.
The fight was the result of too free
ly INDUCING in liquor before they
started Several were badly wound
ed both by knife and revolver, and
it was reported early this morning
that two of the participants had
died. The crew telegraphed the of
fcers at Sistersvllle who were on the
platform when the train rolled in
and arrested the majority of them.
THE first marriage license of the
year has been issued but the person
who obtained it asked the clerk not to
allow it to be published SO the public
will remain in ignorance of the name
of the happy man. The practice of
having such records suppressed is
growing and getting monotonous.
There is no good reason why such a
thing should not be published and
the right to publish it is one that can
not be denied. The clerk is COM
PEELED by law to enter the license on
the records which are public. Is is to
be hoped that people will quit this
habit as there is no good reason for it.

BY some strange oversight the
gentlemen who had the printing
of the school board tickets in charge
failed to have the words "for school
levy and against school levy" and
the oversight came very near not be-

the school levy we would be with

could be held to remedy the defect.
They must be voted on at each

Miss Adelina Morgan feels very
much aggrieved at a reference made
to her in the Little Falls correspon-

that she was looking for a young

The insinuation wounded Miss Nor

ate that kind of testing and promises
the perpetrator to make it interest

about in such manner again.
