HELEN MOONS CASE.

New Providence, Ia, Oct. 13th.-The
wonderful case of little three year old
Helen Moon continues to be the talk
of the neighborhood and everyone is
rejoicing with Mr.. and Mrs. f. V. Moon,
the happy father and mother.
It will be remembered that this
sweet little girl was given up by the
doctors with Dropsy. She was so far
gone that her eyes were closed up and
her body bloated till it was purple.
After everything else had failed
Dodd's Kidney Pills were used and to
the joy and surprise of everyone she
commenced to improve.
This improvement resulted in. COM
plete good health and she continues to
keep strong and well and without the
slightest symptom of the Dropsy left.
The doctors are as much bewildered
as anyone at the wonderful cure OF
this desperate case.

Fled with Her Husband.

Judge Lawrence, of the Sumner
county district court, denied writ
of habeas corpus to Edgar Hutchin-
son, who alleged that his wife was
being kept from him by her guard
ian. Hutchinson and Melvia Abshear,
a girl of Is, had eloped from Ashton
and been married. Within "a hours
the mother and the guardian Of the
bride got hold of her and took her
away. At the hearing Judge Law
renee asked the girl il she preferred
to go with her husband or her
mother. She decided for her mother,
and the Judge at once dismissed the
case. This was the condition OF
things up to last Saturday morning,
when the mother and daughter drove
up to the postoflice at Ashton and the
mother went inside. When she re-
turned she found the girl gone, and
she had fled with her husband, who
was hanging around. The girl is
something of an heiress and con-
siderable money belonging to her Is
in the hands of her guardian.-Kan-

The Resourceful Lawyers.

At Wellington, Henry Lowery was
convicted of murder in the second
degree on the charge that he had adj
ministered morphine to his baby.
Now his lawyers ask for new trial
on the groud that one who admin
listers poison and causes death can
not rightly be convicted of anything
less than murder in the first degree,
as it possesses the essential element
Of generalization. And, having proved
that their client is guilty of higher
degree of crime than the one of which
he was convicted, the lawyers will
next try to prove that he was guilty
of no crime at all.-Kansas City Jour-
nal.

How Convicts Make Brick.

The state prison at Lansing is turn
ing out great quantity of brick.
At present all the brick at the plant
is made from shale from the prison
coal mine. This shale is spread out
and dried after coming from the
mine, then it is ground and mixed
with water to a stiff paste. 1t is
finally run through powerful brick
pressing machine and then into a
second machine to make round-edged
brick. The brick are then dried by
steam for 4s hours before they are
placed in kilns for burning. The
brick are black as coal before they
are burned. When finished they are
yellow and red. All the brick for
the five new asylum buildings at Par
sons were burned at the peniten-
tiary. In addition many were made
for the state house at Topeka, and

The Kansas commission to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at st.
Louis has decided to construct the
Kansas building of staff. This is q
preparation of cement plaster, which
looks like stone and is good for tenn
porary use. The plaster probably will
be furnished by Kansas manufacture
ers. All Kansas architects will be
asked to submit plans for the build
ing and liberal prizes will be Of
fered for the best. The commission
has decided to ask the legislature
for $150,000 additional to expend.
Already $4,000 has been appropri-
ated. 1t is not proposed to house
any competitive exhibits in the state
building. These will be placed in
the several departmental exhibit
buildings on the fair grounds. The
building will serve more as place OF
reception and headquarters for
Kansas people. The building will
have a historical room where there
will be a collection of documents and
relics picturing the history of the
state since before John Brown and
Jim Lanes time. 1t will have the re-
markable geological collection OF
Prof. L. L. Dyche, the Attic explorer
and professor of the University OF
Kansas. One other feature which
will prove of very great attractive
ness will be Kansas art exhibit.

Wny Nor Plant ree.q


The season Of the year for tree plant
ing is again here. Why should there
not bea general movement on the part
of Linton people to beautify their
grounds by setting out trees? Stu
ated as the village is in a valley, there
is no trouble in getting trees to thrive.
In fact, there are trees growing near
town that are at least two hundred
yards from the creek, and q good
many feet higher up than the site of
Linton. This place is undoubtedly
destined to be quite a good sized town,
and it can be made a beautiful place.
Besides, few trees around a dwelling
will add considerably to the value Of
the property. Do not put it of to an
other year. There are things that
you cani postpone and ''do at any
time;" but, il you do not set out some
trees pretty soon, they will lose sea-
sons growth. II you haven't time to
go after trees yourself, you can get
them at reasonble prices from Oscar
Will, in Bismarck, and have them
brought down by stage. The writer
has set out q good many trees here
that were procured from Will, and all
have lived and done we'll.

The subject of the blizzard Of last
month was under discussion, and the
old-timers we're relating their experi-

came Pat Rourke's turn, and he said
that the last storm reminded him of a
great storm In the winter of '7S, when
he started from Fargo to Lisbon on
horseback. A storm came up and his
horse gave out. He killed his horse.
removed the entrails, and crawled in
side, shutting the horse up after him.
He went to sleep, and, when he awoke,
there he was-hard and fast. He would
have been there still had not sudden
thaw loosened up the horses ribs and
released him,

Gev. Herrled ON Emm0ns County.
Eureka Post: Gov. Herried, Attor-
ney G.. N. Williamson and repre-
sentative Of the Post visited Linton,
Emmons County, NJ D., recently.
The section of country through which
they passed was certainly as fine sec.
tion as man ever gazed upon. Almost
entirely free from stones and slightly
rolling, the whole country south and
east from Linton looks like the Gar
den of Eden. The soil is of deep,
black, sandy loan, ranging from l2 to
36 inches in depth, according to the ell
ovation, the low lands having a greater
depth Of soil. The country north and
west from Artas to Linton is rolling:
in fact, this whole country, north,
south and west from range 68 through
to the Missouri river, is rolling, and
elegant for mixed farming. On account
of the demand for these lands, the
prices are firm. There is no question
but what one year from now will see
vast change in this section.
