Don't talk politics to ladies' or dry goods

Don't think your self physically omni-

Don't delay when you feel weak, Lam

something to stimulate your energies at

Don't think that any stlmulant will do!
Doctors, scientists and the best author

Don't be deceived into using an inferior

Don't let your dealer deceive you or inn

NO EQUITY IN THEM.
Two Cases That the Judge Says Got
Into the Wrong Court.

Two equity cases We're heard by
Judge Archibald yesterday ana in each
instance after hearing the testimony
court dismissed the bill, on the ground
that there was not sufficient evidence
to sustain it in equity.
The first case was that of Anna Rich
mond and Rochella Beale against the
Freeman Wilson Coal company, a suit
to restrain the defendants from float
ing bonds until they satisfy a $4,000
mortgage, given to w. II. McCaus-
land, of Phillipsburg for the coal land
upon which the company operates.
l.. Milton Wilson, the organizer Of
the defendant company, ii is alleged.
bought the land from McCausland
giving him $4,000 mortgage and $15,-
600 i'm cash. 1t was agreed that the
mortgage should not be placed on rec
ord until six months after the date of
the conveyance, April s, 1896. and that
the company would then satisfy the
mortgage,
Later the company prepared to issue
S3O,00 worth of bonds. The plaintiffs
to whom the mortgage was assigned by
McCausland objected and brought suit
10 restrain them, alleging that the
bonds should be turned over to them
until such time as the mortgage was
satisfied.
Judge Archibald, after hearing the
plaintiffs evidence, told them that to
his mind the case did not belong in
equity c0urt and advised them to begin
suit on the mortgage and take 1t down
10 Center county where they have
plenty of time to try such complicated
cases.
The other suit was that of Louisa
Lyman against Louis aud Margaret
Smith. The defendant, Louis Smith,
is a son of the plaintiff by a former
marriage The mother owned a prop
erty I'm the Fifteenth ward and the
son and his wife bsrgained to buy it.
She made out a deed and the defend
auts. she claimed. secured II and re-
tain II fraudulently.
When court read the bin he dismiss
ed the case saying that the proper
course for the plaintiff to pursue would
be to bring an action in eieclment
