OSKALCOSA AGAIN.
Proposed as the Terminus Of wireless
Telephone system

Greater Oskaloosa continues to
forge to the front. Since Puck took
up our euphonious name there is no
telling where our fame may stop.
This mornings Record. Herald, with
a magnimity unusual to Chicago in
situations yields the palm to Oska-
loosa and suggests this city as the
terminus of the fret wireless tele-
phone to be established. And why
not, if Oskaloosa gets her two street
car franchises, she will be equal to
any proposition. The Record says
editorially:
"If science makes much progress
in the creation of mechanisms for
transmitting the human voice during
the next decade as it has in the last
decade the time may come when
man in Oskaloosa can take from his
coat pocket little bell and ring up"
a friend in Nagasaki, Japan"

pain across the lower part of my back
on both sides of my spine. Its very
persistency annoyed, for l could not
lift or hardly move, In fact it just
about prevented me from doing gen.
eral work. l was uncertain whether
my kidneys caused the disturbance,
but concluding that had better not
allow it to continue without endeavor-

Bros. drug store and procured Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now l want it thor
oughly understood before l had COM

TRUST COMPANY
WINS BOND SUIT
MONTGOMERY COUNTY GETS YER
DICT FOR ss6,ses.e2 AS OUTCOME
OF THE RECENT SUIT GROWING
OUT OF THE BANK FAILURE.

Montgomery, July -CSpecial.)-The
outcome of the eountys suit against the
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Mary
land as bondsman for Treasurer Cochran
for moneys tied up in the Morris bank.
is that the county gets a verdict for
$3.50, S6s.92, which Is the amount of money
deposited to the credit of the general
fund of the county, with interest from
the time the bank ceased payment The
several insta1lments paid by the bank 10
its creditors have gone to reduce the
general fund on deposit and the above is
what is still due.
The bond company won completely as
to the proceeds of the sale of the $780,
900 of bonds. the judges charge to the
jury being in effect that the bond was
not liable for any of that money because
no money ever passed in the transaction.
The judge held that the actual money
must pass into the treasurer's hands in
his official capacity, and the mere de-
post of check which is passed to the
credit of the treasurer let's the surety
out.
The bond company did not resist a
Judgment for the amount to the credit of
the general fund, the only question being
as to whether the bondsman was liable
for interest, and the judge decided that
it was.
The county has reserved numerous ex-
ceptions to the ruling of the Judge on
the liability of the bondsman for pro-
ceeds or alleged proceeds of the bond
sale, and will appeal to the circuit court
OF appeals.
