In the litigation between the Consoli-
dated South Spring Hill and the Ken
nedy Companies, as presented by the
latest pleadings filed, there is present a
clean-cut federal question: whether the
patent to mine carries with it a grant
of the necessary country rock outside
of the side-lines of the claim through
which to follow or explore vein in its
course on its dip. The petition for re-
moval filed by Messrs. Lynch and Davis
in behalf of the Keystone Company,
sets out the point in full detail. Judge

perior Court on Monday and obtained
an order removing the cause for trial

Crippled For Life.

About 8 o'clock last Sunday after
noon, James Canepa, miner employed
by the Oneida Co., met with an acct
dent that in all probability will main
him for life. He aud his mining
partner were stopping at the time the
accident occurred, Canepa being on his
knees using the pick. The ground
above them gave way and the injured
man was hit between the shoulders the
conclusion breaking vertebra of his
backbone. His partner escaped with
out injury. DIR. A. M. Gall has charge
of the case. The LEDGER is creditably
informed that Foreman Noce of the
Oneida mine, cautioned both men to
be very careful as the ground was
loose. Canepa is single man, aged
between Is and 80, and lives in Suffer
Creek.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
i'ized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system and that
is all they took when feeling dull all
bad with headaches and other aches.
Yen only need a few doses OF Green's

you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Get Green's

that Mrs. Orr had table daintily

intermission.
The following questions were dis
cussed at the afternoon session:
l. To keep cabbage for winter use,
trim and put in barrell sunk in the
ground, cover With something tr pre-
vent thawing Beets and turnips may
be kept in dirt in cool, damp cellar:
pumpkins and squashes need a warm,
dry place.
2. The Club favored yellow corn as
the best to Withstand wind storms. OF
the varieties of sweet corn, Stowell's
Evergreen has the strongest stalks.
3. Some of the Club thought that the
reason Farmers Clubs do not take more
interest in the County Fair is that the
Fair does not take much interest in
the farmer; others thought farmers
we're to blame for not attending the
annual election of Directors, and pre-
venting schemers running things their
own way; but oil were agreed that a
law should be passed allowing each
township to elect and instruct its own
Director,
Questions for next meeting:
l. Which is the best, to raise fall or
spring colts, when it is necessary to
work the mares?
| 2. lis it possible to have County
| Fair that would be beneficial to the
citizens of the county? If so, how?
| Do farmers, as arule, know wheth-
er they are using their resources to the
best advantage?
| Discussions opened by Crank Fens-
Ter, w. A. Selyy, and Mrs Bebee
| Committee on questions: Mrs. j ID.

| Most of the members expect to attend
the Harrison County Farmers Insti-
tute at Logan in February, and we ex-
pect and hope to see all the other Clubs
we'll represented.
