Five criminal cases were disposed Of In

pellants were granted new trials on account
OF errors in the trials. Mox Wackernagel,
one of a family well known in Taylor

The court decided that there was no doubt
the hogs had been stolen in Clarified and
hauled to Lennox in a wagon belonging to
the father Of the Wackernagels, but there
was no evidence connecting the defendant
with the commission of the crime. In the
King case from Buena Vista county the
defendant gets a new trial because the

been sufficiently shown that she appre-
ciated the value and meaning Of an oath.

THE Ladies of the Maccabees is
one of the largest fraternal in
surance organizations in the
country and sickness and death
among its members call for benefits
to be paid out of the treasury of the
order. The great organization is
entirely in the hands Of women who
have so successfully conducted its af-
fairs that among the secret orders
for women the Ladies of the Macca-
bees is regarded as a model. Among
the leaders of this great order is
Mrs. ]. NJ. Powell of Kansas City,
Mo. She is a lady of high intel
ligence and as Observation-Disclosures
of the Kansas City lodge has the
welfare of the organization more or
less in her keeping. She says: SIN
my official capacity it is to my inter-
est to see that members of our So
ciety are in the best possible physi-
cal health. :" Clear judgment prompts
her to recommend Wine of Cardui
to the members of her organization.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-10-11

Wine of Cardui has benefited
every woman who has taken it. Such
remedy is worthy every woman s
confidence in the time Of sickness
when doctors fail and other medi-
cines do not bring the sufferer relief.
Wine of Cardui will cure any I'M
complicated cases Of irregular pc
riods and bearing down pains. It is
valuable during pregnancy, at child
birth and during the change of life.
1t is not a strong medicine but it
quickly relieves female troubles in an
easy and natural way. 1t strength
ems the nervous system, acts directly
on the genital organs and is the
finest tonic for women known to the
medical science.
IfMrs. Powell was cured by Wine
of Cardui and recommends it to
thousands of her lodge members,
don t you think it is worth a trial in
your home?
All druggists sell $1.0O bottles of
Wine of Cardui.

Is at the mercy of highwaymen and
burglars. Every night develops from
three to five cases Of hold.ups, to say
nothing of numerous burglaries and
thefts. Women, boys aud men are
treated alike. Even officers on their
beats are not safe. Joseph Blagg,

night while he was walking his beat.
His revolver was taken, he was hand.
cutfed. and few dollars stolen.

while in the front of his own home
was stopped by two men. All the boy
had was IS. They took some stout
cord and wound it tightly around the
lads knees, binding them close to.
gether. They bound him to his own
doorstep. About half an hour later,
when his father, George w. Ficks,
came down stairs with a friend he
heard mumbling sound and he said:
"There's drunk lying down on our
steps," When he got light he found
that IT was his own son.

DENVER, Dec. 2l.-The blizzard
that ragged on Friday and Saturday in
eastern Colorado and Wyoming,
western Kansas and. Nebraska was the
most serious in years to railroads, as
tar as interruption of traffic is con.
cerned. All trains on the Union Pa.
cific and Burlington railways were de.
layed at least - hours and some
trains due yesterday morning are just
getting into Denver tonight. This is
true of trains over the Kansas Pacific
branch of the Union Pacific. Along
the line the snow drifts from SIX to 10
feet deep made the running OF trains
impossible until the track could be
cleared.

Stacks OF Christmas Mail.

NEW York, Dec. 22.-At the general
postotfice and the foreign branch u
double force Of men worked all day
Sunday and Sunday night, and it is
said that the Office would be turned
over to the day force this morning,
with all work finished up to the hour.
Considering the fact that in addition
to the heavy Christmas mail more
than 5000 bags of foreign mail had
arrived since Saturday evening, this
was looked upon as an unusual and
probably unequalled -four
hours work in the history of the post.
office.
This congestion was caused by the
belated steamers. The Cynric ar.
rived last Saturday afternoon with
1900 bags Of mail on board. This
did not reach the foreign branch until
early Sunday morning. Then came
the Savoie with 344 sacks; the Kaiser
Wilhelm de Crosse, with 66O, and the
Eturia with 1906. These vessels came
up to their respective piers during the
day and by 10 o'clock over halt the
mail had been worked aud the worst
OF the unusual rush had been met and
conquered.

It'll Secures Big Contract.

w ASHINGTON, Dec. ls.-James j
Hill, president of the Great Northern
railroad, has scored a great victory
over the southern transcontinental
railways. Secretary Root has made
up his mind to award MIR. Hills Bos.
ton steamship company a contract for
transporting soldiers aud officers as
we'll as military supplies from Seattle
to Manila for a period of six months.
Mr.. Hill stole march on his com.
petitors. They did not believe that
any OF the transcontinental lines were
prepared to meet the conditions con.
tained in the proposal of the war de.
partment when the bids were first id
vertised for. Mr.. Hill overcame the
difficulty in behalf OF the Great North.
ern and Northern Pacific roads by
buying outright a controlling interest
in the Boston Steamship company,
which owned four very large aud com.
modious ships.

Western sailroad. Affected.

ST. IArl, Dee. -2.-Contrary to
first reports, TIE Great Northern and
Northern Pacific are among the roads
that have been called on to grant In.
creased wages to their trainmen, the
demands of the men having been
served upon them late Saturday. It
is understood here that all of the
roads that have been asked to make
increases will act jointly upon the re-
quest and that their answers will be
identical. A meeting of the officials
of the roads in this territory will be
held In st. Paul some time this week
to consider local conditions. The
sentiment among the managers of the
roads was that the 10000 trainmen
employed on the lines tributary to St.
Paul probably will receive the in.
crease asked for.
