Franklin Miles, NJ. D. IL. g., the CeIe-
brated Chicago Specialist, Will
Send $3.50 Worth of His New
Special Treatment Free to Each OF
Our Readers

Our KeaGerS.
When an experienced physician
offers to give away $40, 600 worth of a
new treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in it, And when hundreds Of
prominent people freely testify to his
unusual skill and the superiority of
his new special treatment, his liberal
ity is certainly worthy of serious con-
sideration.
That DR.. Miles is one of the world S
most successful physicians is proven
oy hundreds of testimonials from we'll
known people. One patient cured af-
ter failure of eleven Grand Rapids
physicians, two after being given up
by six and seven Chicago physicians,
another after nine leading doctors in
New York City, Philadelphia and Chi
cago failed. LOCO testimonials sent
upon req uest.
The eminent Rev. W. Bell, D. D.,
OF Dayton, O., Gen. Secy. of foreign

sire to state that from personal &C.
quaintance we know DR.. Miles to be
a most skillful specialist, man who
has spared neither labor nor money
to keep himself abreast of the great
advancement in me lical science. !"

The Water Works Franchise

In the tax case pending against
the Wa,hb IN Water Works Com
pany, Attorney Tomkins, acting for
the town, maintained that town
governments had no legal right to
grant franchises, and that therefore
the franchise of the Washburn Wa
ter Works Company was void.
This contention in the case has been.
definitely settled and put at rest by
the d ecision handed down last week
by the Supreme Court of the state
Of Wisconsin,, wherein identically
the same question was raised in the
case OF the HUXLEY Waterworks, and
the Supreme Court held that the
franchise was legal and binding.
The franchise Ct tie local company
was granted in 1889, and was for
period of twenty-five years.

The case of the state of Wisconsin
against Emma Thomas, alias Cassidy
was brought to trial in the circuit
court last Friday afternoon. Dis
trict Attorney A. W. Mcleod APP
peared for the state and prosecuted,
and George p. Rossnan of Ashland,
represented the defense. A good
deal Of difficulty was experienced in
selecting a jury, and 81 men were
called and examined before the
twelve men good and true" were
finally chosen. The jury as finally
selected consisted of the following:
Sever Johnson, Thos. Grogan,
Joseph Schachte. Frank Love, Frank
Shaw, Jr; Fred La Chappelle, James
O'Toole, VIM. Shelmadine, Henry
Hockdanner, Sidney Kelly, Nels
Boutin and Martin Sweet.
So great was the difficulty in
securing the jury that it was not
until the evening session that the
case was presented TO the jury by
the Distrist Attorney, The first
witness called was County Surveyor
d. f. Glover, and he gave evidence
as to measurements in the locality OF
the tragedy.
Fred. Nltz who does the chores at
Nash testified as to the manner of
finding the body, and to giving the
alarm of the murder. Alfred Wal
ker, who was one of the first persons
to view the body, also gave evidence
as to the condition in which it then
was.
George Churchill, brother-in -law
of the defendant, identified the re-
volver as belonging to Mrs. Cassidy,
and testified as to a feeling of jeal-
ousy as existing between Mrs. Cas-
sody and Miller.
Mrs. Churchill, sister of the de-
PENDANT, was also on the stand, and
was very eager in giving her testi-
mony. She swore that Miller had
threatened the Cassidy woman in
her presence, that Miller had broken
up the home of Cassidy and the de-
PENDANT. and could not indentify the
handkerchief or revolver which was
claimed to belong to Mrs. Cassidy,
and which was found in the room
where the tragedy occurred.
Tillie Dubenski, Tom. Foran, and
Stoddard Field gave evidence show
ing that Mrs. Cassidy was not in
the Vaughn building at Ashland dur
ing the hours which it is supposed
she drove to Nash on the night of
the murder.
DR.. Lampson gave testimony as
to the post mortem held by he and
Dr. Mertens. The defence tried to
get evidence from him which would
tend to show that death might have
been from suicide. The Doctor held
to the theory that the examination
showed that the probabilities were
more in favor of murder, out left d
shadow OF DOUBT as to the positive.
