COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

sumpter, H., June 10.-Mrs. j. D.
Flanagan, of this place. has suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was 80 very bad that for the last
three years. she has not been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctorcd all
the time. but was gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged. called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store In Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
himtohave his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Fills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out OF the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and well ia ever she was, com
pletcly restored 20 health, and free
from any symptom whatever Of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan Is pleased
AZ her wonderful dcliverancc. does not
half express her feelings. and sho
md Mr.. Flanagan are loud In their
praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
acrful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan Of such n severe
case Of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the most
tnlked-of remedy ever known In White
County.

THE JURY DISCHARGED.
No Agreement Reached in the Case
of Robert II. Robinson.

In the case of Robert b. Robinson who
was put on trial yesterday in Criminal
Court No. l on an Indictment alleging en-
bezzlement, the jury disagreed and was
discharged. Robinson was charged with
appropriating sc belonging to Curtis
q Co, of Boston, Mass.
According to the testimony offered,
Robinson became agent of Curtis & Co.
in this city in October 1899. The com
pany dealt in books and photographs and
had secured the privilege of selling their
stock at the Library of Congress. The
alleged embezzlement was said to have
occurred some time prior to January s.,
1900, when Robinson resigned the position
of agent to accept a situation In the
Census Bureau, where he is now en-
ployed.
In his defence Robinson claimed that in
stead of being INDEBTED to Curtis & Co.
he was a creditor. He also denied the
correctness of the listing of the stock
which was turned over to him when he
accepted the agency for this city. He
was represented by Attorney Il. b. Hay.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas c.
Taylor appeared for the Government.

TO DIVIDE AN ESTATE.
Property Partition Asked for in n
Bill OF Equity.

Annie Z. Rauel through her attorneys
Wilton ]. Lambert and ID. w. Baker,
filed a bill in equity yesterday afternoon
asking for a partition of certain real
property and an accounting against
Michael j. Keane, Thomas F. Keane.
Jane Keane. Nellie G. Keane, and Mary
A Simon The bill sets forth that the
complainant and the defendants, Michael,
Thomas, and Nellie Keane, are tenants
in common of premises POS Four-and-a-
half Street southwest, as heirs at law of
the late Cornelius Keane. One of the
defendants. Mary A. Simon, it is said,
claims to have a dover interest in the
estate. 1t is alleged that the defendant
Thomas Keane has occupied the premises
for some time, and, It is averred, has
paid no rent to complainant since June,
1899.
Ii is claimed to be impossible to divide
the estate in kind, and the court is re-
quested to appoint trustees for the pur-
pose Of making sale and dividing the
proceeds as the parties may be found 10
entitled thereto.

PHILADELPHIA. March 20.-The meet
ing of the American League was thrown
back six hours owing to the non-arrival
of President Ban johnson, who was held
up by railroad wreck the other side of
Pittsburg The delegates did not get to-
gether until o'clock. The delegates
present were: Philadelphia, Benjamin F.
Shibe and Connie Mack; Boston, c. w.

ming; Chicago, Charles Comiskey; Mil
waukee, Messrs. Gross and Duffy; Cleve-
land, J. w. Gilfoyle; Detroit, Messrs.
Burns and Stallings.
The schedule is the most important
piece of business which the new league
has to consider, although there are other
matters of more or less moment, which
win occupy the attention of the magnates
before they adjourn for good. President
johnson has the schedule in his inside
pocket, but he positively refused to di-
vulge even its outline. 1t is, however.
said that so far as possible he has avoided
conflict of the dates in Boston, Phila-
delphia, and Chicago. He fixed his dates
after a close study of the schedule pre-
pared ny the national League, out II the
latter organization should make changes,
as has been rumored, then the number
Of conflicts will be materially increased,
for there will be no change in the Amer
lean schedule after it has been adopted.
The American League will not adopt
any changes made in the playing rules by
the National League at its last meeting.
1t is the general opinion of the American
people that these changes are retroactive
that the only changes calculated to add
to the attractiveness of the game were
copied from the American. The rule ex-
emptinE the pitcher from any penalty for
hitting the batsman is particularly con-
demned, and the new rule calling strikes
up to two on every foul bah is regarded
as ridiculous. 1t is safe to say that the
American League Will play under the old
rules
1t was expected that President johnson
would give out the complete rosters of the
various clubs tonight, but he declared
that it would be impolitic at the present
time IT is rumored that the old League
maGnates are leaving no stone unturned
to win back some OF their stars. who have
gone over to the American. 1t is said
that Wallace and Heidrick, who were to
have played with Comiskey's Chicago
club. have been induced to jump their
contracts by representatives, OF the St
Louis club All doubts about Lajoie were
set st rest today when that player signed
an American League contract. He will
captain and play second base for the Ath-
letic Club, Of this city.
