SUITS AND CROSS-SUITS.

A series of suits and cross-suits has
disrupted the hitherto peaceful family
OF William F. Canterbury. sr., of
Frink street. The alleged trouble
has been brewing for sometime
past and eliminated in the ar
rest of Mrs. Kate Freeman, Mrs.
Kate Walsh, Mrs. Ellen Thomas and
Joseph H. Canterbury yesterday upon
warrant issued from Alderman
Johns office, at the instance of Will
fari f. Canterbury, jr. The charge is
one OF assault and battery and impli-
Gates the four defendants collectively.
The parties concerned are all neigh
tors and sons and daughters of the
senior Canterbury. In fact he seems
to be the bone of contention" from
the fact as stated by the parties them
selves that 1t was because they did
not agree as to where the father should
live. Mr.. Canterbury, jr., desires to
have his father reside with him, as
the house belongs to him. The others,
IT is claimed by the oldest son, seeks
to prevent this. From this grew the
alleged assault
The defendants came before Alder
man John yesterday afternoon, and
waving a hearing entered bail in the
sum of 5000 each( total of 81, ,2Oo) for
their appearance at court. Before
leaving two of them, Mrs. Ellen Thom-
as and Joseph H. Canterbury, had each
warrant issued against William F.
Canterbury, jr., the prosecutor in their
case. Mrs. Thomas charges assault
and battery, while Mr.. Canterbury
charges perjury. The case will be tried
this evening.

HOW To REMAIN YOUNG.
Feed the Hard orking Organs Of
Your BODY with Just What They
KtUuirp.

Here are some important truths ex-
q New York Medical college.
"All Nature ever needs, or ever asks
for, is a little help. She becomes over
worked-is it any wonder she needs
help?"
THE heart beats night and day and
working away like a pair of bellows.
The stomach is constantly occupied;
so are the kidneys and the liver. You
cannot give them a vacation, but you
can help them immensely. Those great
organs-the kidneys and liver--are
willing to work, but they need food
and you can give it to them"
You can easily feed these organs,
and you will be surprised how much
better you will feel if you do so. There
Is discovery which is an actual food
for the kidneys. 1t is known to scien-
lists and the world as Warmers Safe
Cure. By all means try 1t. A little
of this remarkable medicine taken
three times day will produce n most
happy effect. Instead of being tired,
tagged out, respondent and with lit
tie ambition, you will grow bright,
hopeful and happy. Women, especial
ly, need a good friend of this kind,
and 1 know of scores of ladies who
would not think of being without this
grand remedy to help them when they
specially need it."
