DISCOURSE ON PARENTAL DUTY
FATHER YOUMAN'S SERMON AT
THE CATHEDRAL.
What Constitutes True Happiness of
Married Life = Children Are
Loaned to Their Parents.

Taking for his text, He that does not
the faith and become worse than a
pagan" Father Youman preached an
other eloquent discourse on the duties
of parents. He showed how the Chris
tian parents should center their love
on their children as God conferred his
love on Jesus, the Christ. He showed
that the duty of parents began during
the period of courtship, telling the ne
cessity of mutual love, purity and con-
cordance in faith. He then showed the
duty of parents in the education and
moral training of the child. the neces-
sity of great care of every detail in the
lives of their innocent ones, for one
day God will demand the soul of the
child from the hands of the parents.
1.-The true happiness of married life
is mind to mind, soul to soul, heart to
heart.
1.-The first duty of married life is fidel-
ity.
Children are born, they are not
yours, they are lent to you; they are
Gods, hence you must watch. guard
them and keep them from sin. You
must watch them from their tenderest
infancy, watch them in their play, in
their little duties, in their sleep-every
where.
Christian education is teaching the
children in the faith. This is the duty
of the mother, to teach the child the
sweet name of Jesus. This is the duty
at home. No teacher, no priest can do
1.-THE mother must do it. When the
child is old enough it should be sent
to Christian school
bring him up to be man-teach him

TRIAL OF A SUIT FOR ISLANDER
WAS ACCUSED OF
STEALING A BLANKET.
Defendant Still Insists the Charge
Was True-Controversy Over Ad-
mission of Unsigned Deposition.

An interesting controversy arose. in
Judge Cherry's court yesterday when
the Islander suit of C. b. Crowther VS..
w. A Rytting was called for trial. One
OF the principal witnesses for the de-
Tense, William Baxter, was called away
short time ago, and, by agreement
between the attorneys, Baxter's evil
dence was taken by deposition.
When the case came up, ID. n. Straup,
defendants attorney, announced that
stipulation had been agreed to that
Bakers deposition should be received
as evidence without his signature. as
he was in such a hurry to get away
from the city that he was unable to
wait until the stenographer had tram
scribed the deposition.
II. A. Smith of Wilson G. Smith OBJ
jected to the admission of the deposit
ton unsigned, saying that he had
heard nothing of the stipulation and
did not care to sign it. Judge Wilson,
who had agreed to the matter, was not
in court, and things began TO look un-
pleasant for a moment. as Mr.. Straup
declared that the stipulation had been
positively agreed upon verbally. After
some parley and an endeavor to obtain
Judge Wilson's presence in court, Mr..
Smith finally signed the stipulation,
and the incident concluded happily.
The case arose out of the arrest of
c. B. Crowther late in January on the
charge of stealing a horse-blanket and
surcingle from the stables of the Citi-
zens' Coal company. where both men
were employed as teamsters. Rytting
swore to the complaint against Crow
Their, and he likewise asked Crowther
in the stable-yard when he was going
to bring back that horse-blanket which
he had stolen Crowther was dis
charged, and he Immediately sued Ryt-
ting for $4,000 damages for SANDER.
Rytting's defense was that Crowther
did steal the blanket.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in securing a jury, as several
members of the panel had been excused,
and those who had been sitting in the
Queen of Sheba case were still in the
jury-room. After delay of some time,
seven jurors were obtained, and then
Judge Cherry adjourned court until this
morning.

CALIFORNIA; FUTURE.
It Promises More to Laboring Glasses
Than AuY Other Country

1t is very difficult for one who has
not looked closely at its location and
extent to appreciate the peculiar ad-
vantages- of California. In latitude it
extends from the southern line of
South Carolina north to the southern
line of Massachusetts, covering on the
Pacific slope a corresponding coast line
extending inland on an average about
200 miles. Take the Atlantic coast line
critically, and see what a hive of in
dustry and what an immense popula-
ton is covered.
Lay similar area in the same lati-
tude in the Mississippi valley, running
from the northern line of Louisiana to
the northern line of Illinois, and see
what an agricultural region it COM
prises And yet California has many
notable advantages over either of
these tracts. In variety and fertility
of soil, in climatic conditions, it stands
far in the lead.
1t is true that some portions of the
state are untitled for the purposes of
honie-making, but most of these re-
gions are of the nature of great nat
ural parks-breathing places for the
multitudes who shall eventually make
their homes in this favored state.

elapse before this inviting field will be
occupied. No part of our country Of

SIGNED FRAUDULENT DECREE.
Supreme Court Decides Peculiar Case
- From Fourth District.

The supreme court yesterday reversed
the judgment of the lower court in the
case of John Lees VS. /. E. Freeman
The case is a somewhat peculiar one.
On July II, 1897, a judgment was rem
dered by Judge Dusenberry against j.
J. Freeman for S456.71 on Aug find
ings were filed and judgment awarded
against j j. Freeman and 1. Z. Free
man for $4S5.59. In February, 1898, l.
z. Freeman filed petition to modify
the decree, alleging that the court had
originally entered judgment against ].
j. Freeman alone, and that Lees attor
ney had fraudulently prepared false
findings and decree, in which it APP
peared that judgment had been rem
dered against both ]. j. Freeman and
l. e. Freeman, and that he had cor
ruptly procured the signature of the
judge to the decree. The petition also
stated that l. E. Freeman was out of
the state when the decree was entered.
Sept r. 1898, Judge Dusenberry entered
an order setting aside the decree
against !. E. Freeman, saying that he
had inadvertently and against his own
findings signed decree whereby he
enormously rendered judgment against
/. E. Freeman.
From this order Lees appealed. and
the supreme court reyerses the judg-
ment, on the ground that l. e. Freeman
had not applied to have the judgment
set aside until more than six months
after the end of the term when the
judgment was rendered The opinion.
which is written by Justice Miner,
points out that bill in equity is the
proper remedy for 1. L. Freeman to
pursue.
Chief Justice Bartch and Justice Bas-
kin concur.

That She Had Not Been Properly
Divorced-Husband Married Sew
eral More Wives.

The somewhat celebrated case of
George r. Norton VS.. Jennie TUFTS,
Eleanor 3. Wicket ct al. was affirmed
yesterday by the supreme court. The
case attracted considerable attention
when tried some time ago, owing to the
peculiar state of facts which it brought
to light.
Mrs. Eleanor B. Wicket, one of the
defendants, married Elbridge Tufts in
1863, and in 1870, by mutual agreement,
they secured Mormon church divorce,
evidenced by articles of separation
signed by an officer of the Mormon
church. Some time afterward Mrs.
Tufts married John Wicket, with whom
she lived twenty-one years, and had
several children. Tufts, meanwhile,
had married several wives, the last
one, Jennie Tufts. in 1885.
In 1891 Mrs. Wicket learned that the
so-called Mormon church divorce was
illegal, and she Immediately ceased to
live with Wicket, and began divorce
proceedings against Elbridge Tufts.
On Dec. T. 1891, Tufts and his Wife,
Jennie Tufts, executed to George X
Norton a pronlissory note for $4,000.
mortgaging certain premises in this
city to secure it. Norton did not know
that Mrs. Wicket was in existence
In April. 1895. Elbridge Tufts died,
Mrs. Wickel's divorce proceedings still
being pending. Norton began fore
closure proceedings against Tufts es-
tate, and then Mrs. Wicket stepped in
and demanded her dover interest. The
court decided that Mrs. Wicket was
Tufts lawful wife, and that she was
entitled to her dover interest, unaffect-
ed by Nortons mortgage. Norton APP
cd he
Wicket had voluntarily left her hus-
band and committed adultery, and,
hence, was estopped from claiming her
dover rights.
The opinion of the supreme court is
written by District Judge Rolapp, who
sat in the case. 1t states that the
dover act in Utah was abolished in
1872. and only revived in 1887 by the
Edmunds-Tucker law. 1t holds that
Mrs. Wicket was the lawful wife of
Tufts in 1887, and that the tendency of
divorce proceedings at the time of her
husbands death establishes that fact;
that their marriage contract was not
dissolved, either for misconduct of the
wife or for any other reason.
AS to the claim that Mrs. Wicket was
estopped from claiming dover because
she had permitted her husband to live
with another woman, and had herself
lived with another man, the court holds
that the party must have knowledge of
the facts and of the action to be taken,
and in this case Mrs. Wicket knew
nothing of the mortgage, and so could
not inform Norton that she had an in
terest in the premises. The opinion de-
cides that if Norton was misled it was
through the wrongs of Elbridge Tufts.
and not through any negligence or fault
of Mrs. Wicket. Hence the case is af-
hrmed,, Chief Justice Bartch and JUS
.tice Baskin concurring in the opinion.

CATARRH OF The STOMACH,
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
with sour or watery risings, forma-
ton of gases causing a pressure on the
heart and lungs, and difficult breathing;
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and a general played-out, languid feel
ing.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested be-
fore it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous sur
face of the stomach. To secure prompt
and healthy digestion is the one neces-
sary thing to do, and when normal di-
gestion is secured the catarrhal condi-
ton will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use, after
each meal, tablet, composed of Dia-
tase Aseptic. Pepsin, a little Nux, Col
den Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
Tablets, and not being a patent medi-
cine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
will follow their regular use after meals.
Mr. n. ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn

a local condition, resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
