LeGrande Gets a Verdict.

The jury in the HOllingswOrth vs..
LeGrande case returned verdict last
night for the defendant, but assessed
no damages. The history of this case
is familiar to VOICE readers. B.
NJ. EeGrande Of South Haven, injured
his eyes last November by an explOs-
lon Of lime. DR.. HollingswOrtr waited
on him. LeGrande refused to pay the
bill, claiming that he had not received
proper treatment. HOllingswOrth sued
LeGraDde for S207. LeGrande filed a
cross petition charging HOllingswOrtb
with malpractice and asking for dam.
ages in any sum between 81 and $500,
$500 being the limit Of the courts
Jurisdiction.
The case attracted more than Ordi.
nary attention for a Justices court
case, on account Of the prominence OF
all parties concerned. A large array
# expert testimony was produced al
the trial, in the form of affidavits from
we'll known Oculists at Topeka, Kan
'as City aud elsewhere, and oral testi
moBy from local physicians and Ocu.
lists. The defense based their case
largely on the charge that the plain
tiff had used sugar Of lead and an ex
cessive amount of cocaine in treating
the defendants eyes. The expert
testimony condemned the alleged
treatment. The plaintiff denied Civ
ing this treatment, and the jury had
to decide the case largely on ques
tlon Of the veracity Of the wit
nesses from South Haven who testi
fed On both sides Of the case.
1t required only two ballots tC
reach verdict. On the first ballot
four OF the jurors stood for the de-
fendant and two for the plaintiff. The
second ballot was to reach a conclu.
sion. There were three verdicts un'
der consideration: (a) "For the plain.
tiff" (b) "For the defendant" (c,
"For the defendant, with damages.
The second ballot resulted 10 a con.
cluslon finding for the defendant
without naming any damages. The
plaintiffs attorneys will file a
motion for a new trial.
Five days were occupied 10 trying
this case. 1t was commenced last
Wednesday. On Friday, one of the
jurors, Joe Barnes, became sick and
the case was continued until Monday
morning, when it was resumed. The
jury was composed Of Joe Barnes, John
G. Richardson, W. A. Maxey, A. F.
Cobean, T. j. Randolph and l. l,
Scott.
The costs in the case are roughly
estimated at $500, aud Hollingsworth's
other expenses, such as attorneys
fees and taking depOsitiOns in To-
peka and Kansas City, will make the
trial cost him about $500. DR.. Hol-
lingsworth is very popular in South
Haven and vicinity, where the sentl
ment in the case is overwhelmingly
10 his favor.

There will be three candidates for
congress from the Big Seventh dis
trict next fall, unless somebody pulls
off the ticket. l. P. Campbell OF
Wichita, was nominated by the POpu-
lists, and Claude Duval of Hutchin-
sGl, was nominated by the Democrats
at Great Bend Tuesday.
Ed T. Hackney OF Wellington was
chairman of the Democratic conven-
tiOn. Campbell was nominated on
the 23d ballot. On the first ballot 10
the POpulist convention Duval led
with 80 votes. w. L. Brown was
second with 80, and Campbell had
only 26. Brown threw his force tt
Campbell and accomplished the de-
feat Of Duval. On the last ballot
the SumDer county delegation gave
five votes to Campbell and four 10
Duvai. Sumner county's vote was
looked forward to with a good deal o.
interest on each ballot, and kept tht
convention guessing.
Duyal was nominated in the Demo-
cratic convention on the first ballot
The democrats voted down a reso utiOr
adopted by the POpulist convention
and introduced in the Democratic
convention, vesting the committee
with plenary power to pull the nOmi

The reports from famine. stricken
India continue TO grow more and mCrC
distressing. According to the Amer
lean consul at Bombay, the people ot
India are now face 10 face with q
famine Of water, food and cattle
which, in the particular area affected,
is unprecedented 10 character and in.
tensity. AT this period of the famine
OF 1895 81, only 100000 persons were
receiving government relief in all
India; today the official estimate
places the number at $500, 900, and the
daily expenditure is about sS4, OCO.
Just think Of famine area covering
about 100000 square miles and popu-
lation of 10000 600 people. Even this
does not cover millions Of others who
feel severely the pinch Of want. And
yet the most trying period is at least
two months anead. E0gland came
splendidly to the rescue in 1897
But the thoughts OF almost
every E0giishman throughout the
empire are now fixed upon the
war In South Africa. 1t looks as
though India would have to fight the
plague aud famine chiefly with her
own means. But the greatest hope is
from America. In 1880, during the
Irish famine, we sent there the rich
yellow corn meal Of this country. 1t
was as yellow and tempting as gold,
and for three months 100000 school
children were fed on II.

LOper and John Chariss bought three
half sections Of land adjoining, near
Roswell, NM, for 81 an acre. The
land was believed to be out OF the
artesian water belt. They decided TO
spend a thousand dollars between
them prospecting, and started a well
on knoll from which the entire $50
acres Of land could be irrigated
They went down 200 feet with an

d cided to continue the drilling with

event they should strike water. This

Substitutes For Paris Green.

The one objection to Paris green
is its cost, and for several years
manufacturers of insecticides have
been trying to compound some poi
son that would be as effective and
that could be sold cheaper. Last
season many of these poisons were
placed on the market, but the tests
have not been wholly satisfactory
Into most of the reliable insecticides
white arsenic enters largely-in fact
is the base, but it is so slowly solu-
bic In water that it must be com
biued with something else. Boil
Que pound of white arsenic with two
gallons of water, keeping to q boil
for forty minutes. This makes a
stock solution and is used to the
best advantage with bordeaux mix
ture, using three pints of the stock
to each fifty gallons of bordeaux
mixture; or, if the bordeaux mix
ture is not used, make the solution
of four pounds of freshly slaked
lime instead of two pounds. Green
arsenic has been used with great
success, especially by fruit growers,
tor it does not burn the foliage and
is readily soluble in water. Aside
from these two insecticides the
reader is advised to 90 slow with the
new poisons introduced as substi-
tutes for Paris green, Another
year, more will be known concern,
ing them.
