A CURIOUS LAW SUIT.


Noble Bennitt has been made the de-
PENDANT in law suit which is some
what out of the ordinary channels.
Some years ago Mr. Bennitt loaned
81, 700 to Mrs H. P. Gilman of New
Hartford, taking mortgage on grist
mill property. Later he sold them a
car of corn amounting to 1886. The
| mill burned down and the insurance
money of 81, 700 was paid over to Mr.
Bennitt. BY an agreement with the
parties at interest Mr. Bennitt took
pay for the car of corn out Of this
amount and credited the balance on
the note. 1t appears that later the
Canton Trust Co. of Collinsville loaned
the Gilman's an additional sum on the
PROPERTY, and they now sue Mr. Ben.
nit to apply the entire 1900 on the
note. Attorney Adds appears for MI

been passed, and at each of them an enthusiastic welcome was given the royal visitors from the motherland. At the great fortress of Gibraltar, where the first stop was made, sibly be done to show the enthusiasm and patriotism of the garrison. The street of the little town at the foot of the great rock were gay with flags and greenery, and during the two days stay at that place the duke and duchess were shown every consider ation.
 The same enthusiasm and patriot ism have been shown at such other places as have been visited so far, but the greatest welcome of all will un- doubtedly be at Melbourne, where the duke will dpen the first federated Australian parliament on May 9 in the presence of many distinguished foreign guests representing many of the greatest powers in the world. This country. has sent one of our best warships from the Asiatic squad ron to Melbourne to participate in the reception of the royal party, the officers of which will represent this nation at the ceremonies attending the opening of the first Australian parliament.
 In addition to Melbourne several points in Australia and New Zealand will be visited before the party leave South Pacific waters and turn to- ward Africa. Because of the troubles in South Africa it is not expected that any other than the coast towns will be visited in England's colonies in that part of the world. Should the party propose to travel inland for any distance it would be expected that the Boer leaders would spare no risk to effect their capture if pos sible, and King Edward is not anxious to expose his son and heir to England's throne to any such pos sible danger. But Durban, in Natal, and Cape Town and Port Elizabeth in Cape Colony, will be visited, and from these points it is expected few titles will be distributed to the patri- ots of South Africa at the hand of the heir apparent.
 British territory in North America will be reached in September, and the duke and duchess will first set foot on American soil at Halifax. They will visit number of Canadian cities, journeying as far westward as van- couver and Victoria, and, according to the present programme, will spend little more than a month on this continent. During their stay in North America 1t is expected that time may be found for visit to some of the American cities, and they may pos sibly spend a day or two at Buffalo as guests of the Pan-American expo sition. When King Edward, then the prince of Wales, visited this con- tinent some years ago he made quite an extended tour of the states, and it is said that he would like his son to take advantage of his visit to Canada and cross the border in the hopes that such visit might tend to bind the two great Anglo-Saxon nations
