The jury in the district court brought
in a verdict this morning in favor of
the city in the suit brought by A J.
Henderson for $4,000.
Henderson was driving with load
of coal a dark night last winter and in
attempting to drive over the culvert
bridge at Seventeenth and Fillmore
streets he missed the bridge and drove
off into the ditch. The wagon was up
set and Henderson was injured. He
brought suit for damages on the
grounds that the city had not provided
proper guard rails at the entrance of
the bridge.

Allowance to Senator by Indians

Denison, Tex, Oct. Sat Saturdays
session of the Chickasaw legislature a
bill was passed appropriating $4,000 to
pay Senator Burton of Kansas, for le

face of the fact that the nation has
paid attorneys who are supposed to
look after every phase of the legal sit
uation in the Chickasaw nation. The
service that Senator Burton did the
Chickasaw nation was rendered last
winter There will probably be a pro-
test from some of the Chickasaws
against the payment of this sum, and

FARMERS HEETING.

The Wisconsin Sugar com pany has
called a meeting of the farmers of
this vicinity to be held in the city hall
next Saturday afternoon, March 2, in
the interest of securing contracts for
the raising of sugar beets to be
shipped to the Menomonee Falls sugar
factory the coming fall. The com
pany is offering excellent inducements
and hopes to secure large number
of acres hereabouts. The beets will
be transported at rate not to exceed
80 cents per ton. Representatives of
the company will be at the meeting
and ex plain the method of growing
oeets, cost of production and the prices
to be offered. This will afford a
splendid opportunity for our farmers
to raise few acres each, get them to
the market at small cost. and thus as
certain the amount of profit in grow
ing such crop. It is to be hoped
that the meeting will be largely at
tended and the company meet with
encouragement in their efforts to
launch this new industry of our state.

unIcn ne began to stitfen in expression

had that unhappy gift of picturing him
self as others saw him, and he fancied
now that was calling him an old fool in
my mind and amusing myself nightly
over the thought that he was trying to
learn stenography at his age. much less
teach a class.
But was not thinking quite that. It
did occur to me that there was not much
prospect Of his being able to form a Ste
biography class with so many quicker and
younger rivals in the field, but my mind
was mostly filled with admiration at the
persistent determination Of this feeble,
palsied old man. 1t Is true that there
was positively nothing practical in this
great effort he was making-the gods,
alas, endow so few of us with practically
but 1t was such a pitifully heroic
struggle toward gaining the life" as he
would express it, that it took ones breath

been the twelve labors of Hercules.

not care at all when / construed an inn

one of the little red walls from shelf and
swallowed part of its contents, then, turn
ing to me, with a pathetic quaver In his
dry old voice, he said: "C'as conte cher!
You do not know how that costs, my
dearp'
After that there was no attempt to pro-
coed with the lesson. attempted to say
q few little things by way Of farewell
words and spoke Of the near future when
Monsieur Gigon's class in stenography
would no longer be a dream, but a re-

He looked blankly at me when said
this and shook his head. "There are SO

Cold Water Treatment,

Cold water treatments should always
be taken with a grain of judicious salt.
There are cold water plunges, for in
stance, without which some persons
would feel that they couldn't really begin
the day. In spite Of the enthusiastic
words in favor Of the cold plunges, 1t is
very true that not every one can take
them with IMMUNITY. Whenever a bath,
hot, cold or tepid, is followed by sense
Of oppression or inconvenience Of any
kind, it Is more likely to have done harm
than good The harm comes from the
reckless expenditure of heat. Those who
have an abundant surplus of heat, so
that there Is sufficient to vaporize the
moisture besides that needed for ordinary
purposes, may wisely cling to cold plunges
and shower bath. Those who are suffer
ing from debility will do well to leave
them alone. Even healthy persons should
substitute sponge bath whenever they
feel repugnance to the more rigorous
style of bathing.-New York Sun.
