Civil Death-The disposition of property
of persons sentenced to life imprison-
ment is considered by the supreme court
of Kansas in the case of Smith V. Beck
T, 81 Pacific Reporter, 10. The statute
provides that, whenever any person
shall be imprisoned under sentence for
life his estate, property and effects shall
be administered and disposed of in all
respects as if he were naturally dead"
The majority of the court confines the
application of this section to personal
property because of the use of the word
''adminiStra tor An able dissenting
opinion by Green, j., with whom concur
the chief justice and Pollock, j., sets
forth what would appear to be the nat
ural construction of the section. It points
out that an administrator in Kansas has
absolute control over the real estate as
well as the personal property, and con-
cludes as follows: Our construction may
seem harsh, but it is the plain and unmis-
taxable meaning Of the language used
by the lawmakers, and we have nothing
to do but give it the Interpretation in
tended by that department of govern
ment.'
Dover Rights of Divorced Wife-The
New York supreme court appellate di-
vision, second department, has held that
divorced wife is not barred of her right
to dover in the lands of her husband in
New York, where she was married in
Massachusetts and removed to New
York, and resided there with her hus-
band for eleven years. and then returned
to Massachusetts, and there obtained a
divorce. The husband was served per-
sonally in New York, but did not ap-
pear in the action, and subsequently re-
married in Pennsylvania, but continued
to- live in New York until his death. The
court holds that the Massachusetts de-
cree, not being binding on the husband,
does not estop the wife from claiming
dover. The case is entitled Starbuck V.
Starbuck and will be found in II New
York Supplement, 104. Goodrich, presid-
ing judge, dissents on the ground that
''he who seeks equity must do equity,
and must come into court with clean

diction of the Massachusetts court by

HUNTING FOR BRIGANDS
MISSIONARIES TRYING TO FIND
MISS STONES CAPTORS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 12-The sit
uation in the case of Miss Stone tonight
is that Missionaries Baird and Heskell
are still trying to get in touch with the
brigands in order to agree on the amount
of the ransom. 1t is scarcely likely that
this agreement will be reached for some
days. AS soon as word comes from the
missionaries that the amount of the ran
som has been determined upon a mem
Der of the United States legation will
start for the place named with the
money.
Since the brigands who abducted Miss
Stone were located on the mountain OF
Gultepe, the approach of the troops in
duced them to change their retreat. They
are now hiding on the Turko-BulgaTian
frontier, ready to cross to either side, as
circumstances demand.
The decision to suspend the movements
OF the troops was partially due to the
difficulties of operating in the noun
famous country, and partly owing to
fear that further advance might en-
danger the life of Miss Stone, hence the
American desire to try and negotiate for
the payment of a ransom. 1t IS hoped
this will result in the release of Miss
Stone in a few days.
The officials of the United States lega-
ton are much gratifed at the Russian
action in the matter. The Russian am.
bassador, 1. A. Zinovieff, Is supporting
the American demands and the steps
taken by the secretary of the United

up the nOstrilS, dropping into the throat
causing deafness by closing the Eus-

and lung troubles.
a remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
Tor this purpose are antiseptics scientif-
caly known as Eucalyptol, Guaiacol,
San9ulnaria and HydraStin and while
each OF these have been successfully used
separately, yet it has been difficult to
get them all combined in one palatable
convenient and efficient form. The man.

arts Catarrh Tablets, have succeeded
admirably in accomplishing this result

ges, to be dissolved in the mouth thus
reaching every part of the mucous mem
