A washington ulSpdlCu says tudt
attempts have been made by members
on both sides of the house to induce
Representative Talbert, of South Car
olina, TO withdraw from his decision
to insist upon quorum at the pension
sessions on Friday nights aud thus
avoid the necessity of bringing in the
rule already framed by the committee
on rules, to devote two Fridays of
each month to the consideration of
private pension bills. The Democrats
who are interested in private claims
which are set for consideration on
Fridays sought to prevent the appro-
priation of two Fridays for pension
bills, and the Republicans were equal
ly anxious to avoid day pension ses'
sions. Mr.. Talbert, however, declined
to yield. He said he believed that the
position he had taken in demanding
the presence of quorum for the pas
sage of pension bills was correct and
that he would adhere to it. The rule
that has been prepared will he brought
in as soon as the Aldrich- Robins case
is out of the way.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, Manu-
featured by F.. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hun
dred dollars for any case it fails to
! cure. Send for circulars and testimoni-

DIVORCE FOR
HER DAUGHTER.
Mother Comes In and Makes
Makes Complaint For Her.
SHE WAS NOT OF LEGAL AGE
And Had No Legal Standing Herself Suit
to Collect an Account General
News From the Court
House.

1t is not very often that mother has
to come into court and ask for divorce
for her daughter but that is what hap
pened Thursday. The daughter was
only 16 years of age and could not sue
on her own case, being under age. The
plaintiff daughter is Mrs. Irene Reno
ehl Miller. Her mother is Jennie Rel
noble and the divorce is asked from
John Miller. The petition, which was
filed by Baldwin and Young, recites
that the daughter was married to Mil
Ter in 1898 and that child was born
that has since died. The wife was only
16 years old last March and the petition
says that the husband never lived with
her nor supported her but abandoned
her and was guilty of neglect.
The court is asked to grant divorce,
alimony and restore the child to her
maiden name of Irene Reinoehl.

BALTZLEY SUBSTITUTED.
The suit of Anna Berg against Thos.

Carly and a jury, Wednesday morning.
Attorney John Boutwell, represented
the plaintiff and Mr.. McMillen of Mas

opened Mr.. McMillen moved to substi-
tute u. r. Baltzley for Morgan as the
defendant in the suit. 1t was so ORDER
ed by the court and the case then went
to the jury for hearing. Baltzley had
gotten a judgment against L. Alexan-
der of this city for $50 and attached q
stock Of goods he was selling in Mas
silon. Then Mrs. Berg, a daughter Of
Alexander, came in and claimed the
goods belonged to her and she replevin-
ed the same. The suit in court was to
determine whether the stock belonged
to her or her father The testimony
and the jury brought in verdict after
l dinner holding that the property be-
longed to the daughter.

AN ALLEGED ATTEMPT
At Suicide Related By Gentlemen Who
Were Present When II Occurred.
NO INJURY WAS SUSTAINED.
by the Man who Is Said to Have Tried to
End His LIFE william Nickerson, a
Well Known Citizen, the
Man Who Handled

A mysterious affair occurred Sunday
evening about dusk at the home of
resident in the vicinity of East Tusca-
~awas street and near Cherry street.
1t appears from the statement of sew
eral parties that William A. Nickerson,
q we'll known bicycle repair man, resid-
ing in the south end of the city, fired
a shot which might have resulted
in his death if the gun had been held a
few inches lower. According to the
statement of a witness to the happen
ing, Nickerson and a friend called at
the residents place Sunday afternoon
and requested him to take charge of a
revolver which he had been carrying.
The resident took the gun and laid it to
one side, until Nickerson called for it
a little later. The man who accompan-
led Nickerson signalled the man not to
give Nickerson the gun, and therefore
he did not at once comply with his re-
quest to return the gun 1t is stated
that Nickerson became very angry and
threatened to fight if the gun was not
returned to him at once. In order to
avert trouble the man returned the gun,
whereupon, he alleges, Nickerson quick
ly held the weapon to his head and fired
1t appears that the muzzle was held
slightly above his head and the bullet
from the gun grazed the top of his soft
hat and buried itself in an opposite
wall. The friend grabbed the revolver
out of Nickerson's hand before he could
take another shot at himself, the resi-
dent grasping his wrist as quickly as
he had fired the shot The man with
the revolver ran out Of the house and
escaped, followed by Nickerson. Nick.
erson finally ran down East Seventh
sNaet and he was caught up with neal
the electric light works He assigned
no cause for his rash act and he suf'
fered no injury thereby.
