The Van Orman- City Paving Con-
troversy Carried to the Dis
trict Court.
Petition Filed Asking the Court to
Restrain Sale Of the Property
For Taxes.
Real Estate Agent Sues to Recover
Commission Sentence Day
Saturday.

The controversy between the city and
the Van Ormans over the paving in
front of their North Center street
property has been carried to the dis
trct court, and a suit has been COM
menced in which it is sought to enjoin
the county treasurer from selling the
property in question for delinquent
taxes.
Miss Gertrude Van Orman owns a
seventy foot lot on the west side of
| North Center street at the bend in that
thoroughfare. When the paving was
completed the city was served with
notice that the plat did not show that
| a strip of land nine feet wide and run
ming across the entire front of the lot
was owned by Miss Van Orman, and
| that she objected the paving tax be-
| ing assessed against the property. 1t
was never shown just who did own
this strip. as the city had no use for it.
/ The city went ahead and certified To
| the county treasurer the assessment
for the paving and it was taxed against
the Van Orman property.
1 Miss Van Orman has filed a pc
| tition setting forth that the paving at
no point ADULTS her property; that no
\ benefits have accrued from the paving
and she asks the court to enjoin the
I city from enforcing the assessment
and the county treasurer from selling
the property for taxes. The assess
/ ment amounts to s20s.70.

You can be cured. There are only two

People Who Are Ever Ready to Recon-
mend what Has Done Them
Much Good.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the scientific kid
ney remedy and back-ache cure. is daily
gaining favor in Wheeling. No medicine
has ever been sold in Wheeling for kidney
ailments, back-ache, nervousness, sleep

gained such popular favor as Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids.
We give you the experience of Mrs. c..
". Thirlow. OF 2s12 Market street, who rec
ommends KidAne-oids as follows: Il have
been a sufferer from disordered kidneys
almost all my life. and was never able to
get anything that would cure me. The
doctors said my disease was constitutional
kidney trouble and that I would never be
well again. as my case was incurable. I
suffered constantly With an aching pain
across the small of my back and the dis
charges of the kidney secretions were at
times excessive and at other times were
frequent but scant and attended with pain.

were right when they said my case was in
durable, when / read about Morrow's Kid
ne-oids and where they had cured Just
such cases as mine. AS Chas. r. Goethe
guarantees them to cure or refunds the
money, l secured them at his store and be-
gan using them according TO directions. 1t
me relief from the distressing pains across
my pack and the other troubles as well.
They are all the manufacturers claim for
them without any doubt.
Morrow's kid-ne-oids are not pills. but
Yellow Tablets, and are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell at fifty cents a
box by Chas. r.. Goethe. the druggist. A
