MAKING TROUBLE.
Industrious Attorneys at Sioux City
Discover Another Titus Flaw.

discover Another Titus Flaw.
Sioux City, Jan. 23.-As if the Titus
amendment had not already seen en-
ough grief, some industrious Sioux
City attorneys have discovered some
more alleged punctures in the situa-
ton. They declare that even if the
supreme court of the state shall make
ruling one way or the other on the
Washington county case, that ruling
cannot have a general effect and
need not be accepted by the officials of
any other county. They say the con-
stitution and statutes specifically pro-
vide that no judge interested in a
question at issue can preside at a
hearing of said question except by
agreement of all parties concerned. 1t
happens that the parties in the Wash
ington county case have agreed, but
they certainly cannot waive objections
for officials from other counties. When
the Washington county case is decid-
ed contesting officials from other
counties can say that they did not
waive their objections to the judges,
who may possibly be prejudiced, and
therefore the ruling cannot be forced
upon them. Under this interpreter
ton of the law and the conditions,
the ruling of the supreme court in the
Washington county case extends no
further than the limits of Washington
county.

PARIS COURT DECIDES
DE CASTELLANE SUIT
Looks as if the Bric.a.Brac Dealer Is
Getting the Best of
the Deal.

Paris, Jan. 23-The first civil trib-
unal of the Seine has decided the suit
of the Count and Countess de Castel-
lane against Wertheimier, the brio a
brac dealer, by dividing the transac-
tons into three series. In the first it
is declared that the exchanges and
purchases were freely agreed to and
in good faith and therefore could not
now be modified.
The second series, were those COM
prising exchanges regarded as liable
to suspicion of usury, and the court
appointed three experts to appraise
the articles, final Judgment being Civ
en- after their report.
In the third series concerning the
art works belonging to Count Boni,
sold by Wertheimer, the court de
clares the transaction holds good, but
calls on Wertheimer to submit proof
of sale in order to show that he did
not realize an illegitimate profit.

That DR.. Miles is one of the most

hundreds of testimonials from we'll

The late Prof. ]. S. Jewell, M. D.,

cept Victims Statement.

Hedrick, Jan. 23.-Andrew Martin,
a young man living about three and
one-half miles northeast of Martins
burg, attempted suicide yesterday af-
ternoon by shooting himself in the
head with a revolver. He is still
alive, but it is not considered that he
has much chance of recovery.
Done on the Highway.
The attempt was made in the public
road, near the residence of S. A. Hut
ton. Mr.. Hutton heard the shot, and
the mans cries Immediately following,
and ran to the place, finding Mr. Mar
tin lying in the mud, with blood run
ming from a wound in the forehead,
and from the left ear. He, with the
assistance of others who soon arrived,
removed the injured man to his home,
and summoned Drs. Sherlock and
Moore, of Martinsburg. They probed
the wound, but were unable to locate
the bullet, which had entered the fore
head and ranged to the left. The wea-
pom used was long-barreled revolver,
I3S-calibre, and the wound is bad one.
Did Not Want to Live.
When Mr.. Hutton reached him, he
said that he had shot himself and that
he did not want to live. He gave no
further information as to his reasons
for attempting to take his life. He is
now at Mr. Hutton's, it being thought
best not to move him to his home.

INVENTED BY A WOMAN.
litter Devised by wife of Capt. Chad
wick of the Navy-Made By
Women, Too.

The most practical litter yet con-
structed for carrying the wounded is
the invention Of Mrs. Chadwick, the
wife of the captain who was in com.
mand Of the cruiser New York at the
battle Of Santiago. 1t is designed es,
pecially for use in war, but it is equal.
ly convenient for hospital or family
use and its cost is slight. ai3t
1t is kind of hammock chair, and
while it's weight is only 3h pounds it
will support the heaviest person. The
bearers wear harness of two leather
straps, one Of which goes over, the
shoulder and the other around the
waist. The shoulder strap is passed
through broad piece of webbing to
prevent it from cutting the shoulder OF
the bearer. To the belt strap two
strong rings are alta ched to which the
carrier is fastened. A canvas strip
forms the chair.
The bearers hands are left free and
any inequality of height in the bear
ers is overcome by adjusting the
length of the shoulder straps. so that
the waist belts shall be al the same dis
tance from the ground. The hospital
corps OF the United States army has
pronounced the device the best and
simplest yet used. A woman invented
1t and women manufacture it.
