DEFENDANT WON.
Suit 10 Recover for Rent Heard
Before Judge Douglas.

Judge Douglas today heard the Jury
trial waived case OF Washington Real
Estate company VS.. Joslin a. Smith The
suit was one TO recover $500 for rent or
premises at No. Calender street. from
July /. 1893 TO July /. 1900.
Defendants, the plaintiff says. first
hired the premises under a three years
lease on July LIST, 1896. Mr.. Isaac Hahn
wrote the terms of the lease. and they
were accepted.
Just before the three years lease ex-
pired defendants sent the plaintiff no.
tice of intention to Yacate. as the defend
ants intended TO sell out their business.
Mr.. Hahn testified that soon after he
was notified that Joslin 4 Smith had
changed their mind and Mr.. Smith said
the premises would be taken for another
year. This conversation was I'm May,
1899 Mr. Hahns former bookkeeper cor
roborated this statement.
On cross-examination Mr.. Hahn adj
mitted that In June, 1899. he was told by
Mr.. Smith, on- OF tic DEFENDANTS. that
he had sold out to the Joslin Manufac-
turning company, who wanted TO hire the
premises from month to month at tho
same rate as Smith a Joslin had hired
IT, Mr.. Hahn said he told Smith that
the premises were already let to Joslin
* Smith for q year from July. 1899.
Henry T.. Smith, one OF the defendants,
denied that the notice of intention To va
cate was ever, as Mr.. Hahn said IL was,
Withdrawn.
Witness said he went at ne request OF
the treasurer of the Joslin Manufactur-
ing company. 20 whom defendants had
sold out, to see Mr.. Hahn and told him
the company would like TO occupy the
same premises for a couple Of months,
as then their machinery could be more
advantageously moved. Mr. Hahn. ac-
cording to the witness, said everything
would be satisfactory.
Mr.. Smith further testified that the
Joslin Manufacturing company took pos
session OF the premises at Calender
street on July l, 1899. and moved cut a
couple OF months later.
1t came out that the Joslin Manufacture
ing company sent a letter and check TO
the plaintiff. The check was for two
months rent and was sent back by the
Washington Real Estate company with
the statement that IL was declined be-
cause the company was not plaintiffs
tenant.
Decision was for the defendant for
costs; Walter II. Barney was counsel for
the defendants.

Jetmore, Kans., July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G. G.
Jones of Burdett, and one of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County
has been a martyr to headache for
years 1t has made her life continual
misery to her. She suffered pains in
the small of the back, and had every
symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trou-
BILE.
Today she is as well as any lady in
the state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here. 1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and many people claim it to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose, she grew better. In week, her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady. is very sure soon to be
universally used, and ready the de-
mand for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars of
Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure are

A Juryman Tolls why.

Ell Dorado, June 29.-F. NJ Rowland,
one of the jurors, said: The jury on
the final windup took Miss Morrison's
story of the affray as the true one;
that is, we believed that Mrs. Castle
called her into the house and began
the quarrel. But one of the instruc-
tons of the court was that if we found
that Jessie continued to use the razor
after she had disarmed Mrs. Castle and
was out of danger herself, then she
should be held for manslaughter.
That is how we happened to return
the verdict of manslaughterr." After
the verdict Miss Morrison tainted

The Hon. Joel R. Poinsett, a native
Of South Carolina, and one of her
most gifted sons, during the latter part
of the administration Of John Quincy
Adams, it will be remembered, repre-
sented the United States at the capital
OF Mexico, which was then much dis
tracted by internal discussions. While
Mr.. Poinsett resided there, the city
was captured by one of the contending
factions, and he and his family in
CURED no small degree of personal
danger from the violence of the SOL
diers, by whom they were suspected
of affording concealment to certain OBJ
noxious individuals. In the height Of
the notification controversy after his
return, in an address delivered to the
people of Charleston, the following elo-
quent passage occurs:
Wherever 1 have been, I have been
proud of being a citizen of this great
republic, and, in the remotest corners
Of the earth. have walked erect and
secure under that banner which our
opponents would tear down and tram
pie under foot. 1 was in Mexico when
that city was taken by assault. The
house of the American ambassador was
then, as it ought to be. the refuge of
the distressed and prosecuted; it was
pointed out to the Infatuated soldiers
as place filed with their enemies.
They rushed to the attack. My only
defense was the flag of my country,
and it was flung out at the instant that
hundreds of muskets were leveled at
us. Mr.. Mason and myself placed
ourselves beneath it's waving folds.
We did not blench.. for we felt strong
in the protecting arm of this mighty
republic. We told them that the flag
that waved over us was the banner of
that nation to whose example they
owed their liberty, and to whose pro-
lection they were indebted for their
safety. The scene changed as by en-
| chantment. and the men who were on
the point of attacking my house and
| menacing the inhabitants, cheered the
flag of this country, and placed senti-
| nels to protect it from outrage. Eel

would it have been any protection to
me and mine to have proclaimed my
| self Carolinian? Should | have been
here to tell you this tale, if had hung
| out the Palmetto and the single star?
Be assured that to be respected abroad,
we must maintain our place in the
Union"

COUNTRY IS PROSPEROUS.
Abundant Harvest With Remuners-
tive Prices for Products.
FURNACES AND MILLS BUSY.

New York, July l. r. G. Dun & Cos
weekly review of trade says:
The country is undeniably prosper
GUS and with prospect of an abundant
harvest to supply our own needs and
increasing European deficiencies, the
situation is viewed with confidence. A
few more labor disturbances have aris-
en- but others have been settled, nota-
bly,, the dispute over the tin plate
scale. Some disagreements in the coal
regions at times assume threatening
aspect, but the troubles have been To-
cal. Reports from the country speak
of continual active movement of mer-
chandise with the jobbing trade and
embracing nearly all lines.
The fiscal year closes with conditions
in the iron and coal industry in mark
ed contrast to the situation at CORES
ponding date in 1900. Quotations were
then receding rapidly without stimu-
lating activity, idleness was the rule
at furnaces and mills and wage scales

apart in their views. This year diff
Guilty is experienced in stopping ma
chinery long enough to make neces-
sary repairs. Prices are well main
tanned and steady, without unreason-
able imitation. Construction proceeds
at an unprecedented pace, SO that
structural material, builders hardware
and kindred goods find ready purchas
ers. Railway facilities are inadequate
TO handle expanding traffic, and shops
are crowded with orders for new
freight cars and other equipment.

show the commensurate decline, for
there is good profit at the present

corn is supported by reports of injury.
and receipts are less than half last

equally unsatisfactory. Many reports of
injury to growing cotton tend to ad-
vance prices in the face of heavy re-
ceipts of the old crop.
