MRS. CRAVEN MEETS
ANOTHER REVERSE
JUDGE TROUT REFUSES TO
SUMMON a JURY.
Alleged Widow of James G. Fair
Must Prosecute Her Demand for
Family Allowance Without
an Advisory Body.

Nettie R. Craven is meeting with a
series of reverses before Judge Trout
that would completely discourage a less
persistent litigant. A short time ago
Judge Trout refused her petition for
costs of advertising her suit against the
Fair estate. Thursday the court refused
her motion TO set aside a decree of partial
distribution of Fair properties heretofore
made and yesterday the alleged widow Of
the dead capitalist was denied the priv
ilege of submitting her application for
family allowance from the estate to a
jury for decision.
When the hour for the consideration Of
the motion arrived Mrs. Craven was pres
ent in court with her attorneys, w w.
FoOte. Lafe Pence and Judge benson
The executors Of the decedenI's last Will
sented by William Wood. NJ. S. Will
son, William NJ. PiersOn and Charles Heg-
gerty. Mr.. Foote addressed the court and
said that he would not argue the motion
for jury, but would submit the motion
for decision, as it appeared on the peti-
ton. Judge Trout then denied the mo-
ton. An order was then made by the
court granting Mrs. Craven five DAYS
within which to amend her petition to
set aside the decree of partial distribu-
ton. Hence this matter Will again be
argued before a final decision is reached
Lafe Pence requested that hereafter,
when motions by opposing counsel We're
made on any matters pertaining to the
Fair estate Mrs. Craven, who was obvi-
odsly party itigant, should be served
with notice. This request was consented
to and November IA was set as the date
for hearing the application for family al
lOWance.

Loose clothes and downy cushions
bring only a negative sort of comfort
to the woman who is suffering with
some disease or arrangement of the
organs distinctly feminine. Some
clothes and some positions make the
pain and discomfort seem less. Per-
haps the nerves are most effected and
this in turn disturbs the digestion.
Nothing will ever completely relieve
but radical cure. The start of So
called female complaints" may be q
very slight thing indeed. 1t may be
that in the beginning some small hy-
gienic measures would stop the trouble
Certainly at this time, little bit of the
right medicine would stop it. When
the trouble becomes worse, it is harder
to cure, but still it can be cured. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will pos
itiyeiy cure any trouble of this charac-
ter. 1t may be absolutely relied upon.
1t affords lasting relief to woman

A Queer Kind of Savage.

When Albert Henry Savage Landor
reached st. Petersburg on his way from
the Forbidden Land, the fact was duly
chronicled, and the London press asso-
Citations sent cable messages to Austria
liza telling of the hairbreadth escapes
and manifold sufferinys. The Melbourne
Times received but short note. which
was this:
"a. Savage Landor arrived in St.
Petersburg today from Tibet after
suffering greatly at the hands of the
natives
This was meager enough. but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.
The following morning. among the
other matters of news, the readers Of
The Times found this startling informa-
ton:
"a savage landor got into St. Peters
burg yesterday, and the people of the
city were terrified. After considerable
difficulty the beast, which came from
Tibet, was captured. taken to re-
mote place and there dispatched. 1t is
said that this is the first animal of the
sort ever seen in Russia. How he reach
ed the city after his fights with the ma
tives of Tibet, which is comparatively
unknown country. is a mystery -

Sioux City Journal: Populism in
South Dakota is said to be in decline.
A newspaper that has had relationship
with populism retorts to q contem-
porary that had suggested that pop.
ulism was wasting, that admitting it,
the republicans would not gain votes
by il. But that is not the interesting
question. The important question is
as to Senator Pet,igrew. For the first
half OF 1896 he was q republican, and
for the last half a silver republican.
Later he became populist, and if
populism is to fail him he has but one
more jump to complete the circuit of
existing political parties. Senator
Pettigrew is political acrobat of ex-
perience, and as long ss the parties
hold out he will not be without a home
somewhere.
Senator Pettis ren's populism is
based upon his great desire to be re-
turned to the senate in 1901. That he
will leave no stone unturned goes
without saying and be will care but
little what becomes of the party after
il has served his purpose.

they in position to throw stones?
The Press has nothing to take back of
what it has said OF Frost's leadership OF
South Dakota boys in the field.
But what does the Press think of
Col. Frost as the man who held up the
applicants Of the South Dakota volun-
teers for their return home and who
called the company commanders cow
ards for permitting their boys..to go into
the hospital. as charged by Major
Warne. Frost is the protege of Gov.
