A Michigan Lady's Battle with Disease

Flushing, Mich, Dec. 22.-(Special.)
One of the most active worker In
the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. 2. A.
Passmore of this place. She Is a
prominent and very enthusiastic w.
C.. T.. U. woman, and one who never
loses an opportunity to strike a blow
against the demon of Intemperance.
Mrs. Passmore has suffered much
bodily pain during the last three
years through Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. At times the pain was al
most unbearable. and the good lady
was very much distressed. She tried
physician after physician, and each
in turn failed to relieve her. let alone
effect a cure. Home remedies su8-
gested by anxious friends were ap-
piled, but all to no purpose. At last
some one spoke of Dodd's Kidney
Pills as a great remedy for all Kidney
and Bladder Diseases, and Mrs. Pass
more decided to try them. She did,
and is now a well woman. She has
given the following statement for pub
lication:
At different times in the past three
years, l have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and af-
ter trying four of the best physicians
1 could hear of, two of them living in
the state of New York, / found my
self no better. / took any amount OF
home remedies suggested by kind
friends, with little or no relief from
anything. 1 decided to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Less than one box has
done me more good than all the other
treatments combined. l am still using
them, and can say from experience
that they are an excellent remedy for
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. I would
heartily recommend them to all those
suffering from these ills in like man
ner.

MUST OBEY THE RULES
McArthurs Proclamation Warning Nom
Oombatants to Use Caution.
THE RULES or WAR TO GOVERN
A Stern Policy Adopted Toward the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Given TO People
Tolerated.

MANILA, Dec. 22.-Tomorrow Cen
eral Macarthur will issue a procla-
nation warning the inhabitants OF the
archipelago that hereafter strict COM
pliance with the laws of war will be
required of non-combatants as well as
combatants.
The proclamation will set forth the
principal laws Of war. It will refer
to recent proclamation issued by in
surgent commanders threatening ma
tives who are friendly to the American
forces and also to the orders issued
to their men to kidnay and assassinate
residents Of towns occupied by Ameri-
cans.
The insurgent leaders will be mott
fed that such practices, if continued,
will put an end to the possibility Of
their resuming normal civic relations
and will make them fugitive criminals.
Residents Of places occupied by
Americans will be notified that pleas
of intimidation will rarely be accepted
and that where secret committees are
permitted to exist in behalf Of the
insurgents, even well disposed persons
will be exposed to the danger of being
tried as traitors.
The proclamation will say that its
warnings and requirements are to ap-
ply with special force to Manila, "the
rendezvous Of the emissaries of insur-
rection."
Newspapers will be warned against
publishing sedition and the proclama-
ton will declare that the rebels who
are not part of an organized force are
not entitled to the privileges Of prls-
oners of war, adding that the fact
that they have not hitherto been held
responsible is evidence of the solicit
tude Of the United States to avoid
the appearance of harshness."
The proclamation will clearly dis
avow any recognition of technical bel
l%igerency.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-It is stated
at the War department that the trans
port Grant, which is due at San
Francisco about the LIST proximo,
brings the remains of 1913 officers, sol
diers and civilian employees of the

instruct the jury that, in its opinion,
taking oil the facts and circumstances
testified to by the witnesses to be true,
there was not a probable cause for the
prosecution against the plaintiff. The
officer who made the arrest was a con-
stable, whose duty it was to serve such
process. The evidence of the alleged
abuse of his official authority by the
constable was objected to by the de-
fendant, and the exception to its being
received by the court can be considered
along with that Part Of the charge now

4 PAYMENTS MADE BY A DEPUTY

M THE OLDEST ITEMS CHARGED
AGAINS HIM IN THE ACCOUNT.
THE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION is
PRESUMED CORRECT. AND IS
ONLY REVERSED WHEN SHOWN
TO BID WRONG.
The question involved in this case
was one as to the respective liability
OF three sets OF Suretles on three sepa-
rate bonds OF a deputy treasurer given
to his principal, the treasurer of Wythe
county.
The points decided appear from the
opinion Of the court
Tho court says:
The decree appealed from held that
Repass as treasurer had the right to
Keep, and did keep. running account
with Nyc, his deputy, in which he ap-
pied the payments made from time to
time to Nye's credit on his Oldest out
standing receipt for tax tickets placed
In his hands for collection, and that
tepass did not know the source from
which the money came with which the
payments were made, and that Nye did
not inform him as to the source from
which the money came,
The principles relied on by appellee
to sustain the decree appealed from
were established by this court in Chap
man VS.. Commonwealth, reaffirmed and
approved in Crawn V. Commonwealth,
and are recognized and sustained by
numerous decisions Of other courts.
They are founded upon the common law
rule with respect TO tho application Of
payments. and are applied to the &C.
counts Of public officers as we'll as to
tnose OF private individuals. The rule
Is, that IL n general account Is kept,
ana the payments are made without
any direction ms to how they shall be
applied, the moneys are treated as
though they were the property Of the
debtor and arc applied to the satisfac-
ton OF the oldest debts. In this cnse
the proof sustains the decree in holding
that Repass did not know and that Nye
did not inform him as to the source
from which the payments were made.

Inc contrary is shown. An appellate
