The Two Criminal Cases OH the
Calendar Were Quickly
Disposed of.
A HARD FOUGHT CASE
Was the One Against the Stur-
geOn River Lumber Com
pany-Lasted Four Days.

The July term of circuit court
convened in this city Monday after
noon at clock, Hon. Norman w.
Haire presiding.
The first case upon the calendar
was that of the People VS.. Thomas
Curtis, the charge against him
being arson. Curtis was arrested
about three months ago upon com
plant of Mrs. Harriet Head, who
claimed that the defendant had set
fire to her house, which, together
with the contents, was totally de-
stroyed Upon examination in
justice court the evidence against
Curtis was deemed of sufficient
weight to hold him for trial in the
circuit, but when the case was
called nolle proseque was granted
by the court upon request Of
Prosecuting Attorney Haviland,
and all costs paid back to the
county.
In the case OF the People VS..
Edward Nichols of Nestoria,
charged with selling intoxicating
liquors without having paid the
required license, the defendant
entered plea of guilty. Inasmuch
as Nichols had paid the amount of
his license Monday morning, the
court, after giving him some sound
advice, let him off decidedly easy,
only fining him $25 and all costs,
or in default Of the payment thereof,
sixty days in the county Jail.
Nichols promptly paid and was dis
charged
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
the case of Philip G. Bumgartner
VS.. the Sturgeon River Lumber
Company, was called. Many wit
nesses were examined and the case
was vigorously fought on both sides.
Attorney A. r. Gray, of Houghton,
represented the defendant and c. F.
Button of Marquette appeared for
the plaintiff. The action was
brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages from the Sturgeon River
Lumber company, caused by an
overflow of water upon his land
while the company's logs were be-
ing driven. The case was given to
the jury yesterday morning about
IL o'clock and shortly after 8
O'Clock in the afternoon the jury
returned with verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for $3.50.
When court adjourned last even
ing jury had just been secured in
the case of John Golden VS.. Michael
]. McCabe, Joseph w. Fordney
and Aaron T. Bliss, assumpsit.
The term of court will doubtless
last until Tuesday or Wednesday of
next week, as there are number of
cases yet to be disposed of.

pose him in all his moral nudity and
mental bewilderment. Nothing will
save him butresignation, and resigna-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out out of ten are caused by
catarrb, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

T, r, Blaise,

We CLEAN the following interesting
article on DR.. Blaise from the Mason
City Times-Herald:
DIR. T. T. Blaise of this city was
nominated for Congress from this
district by the Democratic Conven-
ton at New Hampton yesterday.
The nominee has been resident of
Mason City for the past four years
and his social, business and profess
slonal qualities have brought him a
wide circle of acquaintances who re-
gardless of party lines are highly
gratified by the recognition of SO
good a citizen and so able man.
The nomination was unsolicited and
unexpected by DIR. Blaise, and when
the news came over the telephone
wires last night it found him at the
bedside of a fever stricken soldier,
Chan Gaylord, whose condition has
claimed from him more than a
doctors solicitude. At first the doctor
refused to believe the news, but
brought to the inevitable this morn
ing when the Cerro Gordo delegation
returned with an emphatic confirma-
ton of the message.
DR.. Blaise was born and grew to
manhood on farm near Sigourney,
this state forty years ago. He was
educated at the district schools and
at Iowa City. He took his medical
course at Columbia University, Mo-,
of which institution he is graduate.
He practiced medicine at ..Sigourney
until 1894, when anxious to enter q
wider field he moved to Mason City
where he has since conducted drug
store in connection with his practice
Although the doctor has not been &C
tive in politics he is gentleman Of
positive political views and has al
ways been an ca rnest student of eco
nomic and political questions. He
has never been an Office seeker and il
will be remembered that two years
ago when the Daily Times conducted
it's voting contest for Mayor of ouI
city, DR.. Blaise stood head and shoul-
ders above all competitors and would
undoubtedly have been the regular
nominee, had he not absolutely re-
fused to be candidate. The signif
canoe of that popular favor is in the
fact that the majority of voters for
DR.. Blaise in the contest were Repub-
licans. The Doctor is of French anG
German ancestry and speaks bott
languages as fuently as English. HI
is scholarly, genial and popular ant
the Democrats of the Fourth Congress
sional district certainly could no
have nominated candidate better
qualified to command the full part,
vote. Some one remarked last even
ing when the message was received
here, that if the voters of the Fourth
district could each become acquaint
ed with DR., Blaise, his election woult
be certain as his nomination; and THU
sentiment is general, for his charming
personality has made his circle O
friends co-extensive with his circle of
acquaintance.
