Court Minutes.

Court adjourned Wednesday afternoon
of last week, having practically disposed
of all cases on the list.
The case Of Carolin Dawson Knupp VS..
Dawson heirs, was discontinued.
Jesse Dawson VS.. l.. k. Shaw, verdict
for plaintiff for 5000.
Case of the City of Cory VS.. the County
of Forest, was the last to come up before
the adjournment of court. This was an
action Of assumpsit brought by the City
of Cory to recover the sum of SIT, for
food, medical attendance. nurse hire, etc,
furnished by the board of health of that
city in taking care of Leo Confer, who
was stricken with small poX at Cory,
in July, 1902, and was a case of consider
able Importance. The plaintiff in open
court on Monday amended their case by
changing the title thereof, ard their state
ment, so as to make the defendant the
Forest County Poor District. 1t was at
once thought that the defendants would
ask for a continuance of the case at the
costs of the plaintiff, but counse for de-
PENDANTS stated they would enter appear
ance for the Forest County POOR District
and insisted that the case 60 to trial.
On the trial of the case plaintitfatteml t
ed to show by witness settlement OF Leo
Confer in the Forest County Poor Dis
trict to establish liability Of the defend
ant. This was objected to by counsel for
the defendant Tor the reason that no order
of relief had ever been taken out as is re-
uuired by act Of assembly, and that the
plaintiff could not show settlement of a
pauper in the Court of Common Pleas,
aud that settlement could only be shown
in the Court of Quarter Sessions Oh APP
peal from AN order OF relief. Alter argu-
ment on the point the C iurt sustained de-
fendant's point, and the plaintiiI then
took a voluntary non suit. The city of
Cory was represented by their city So
l%icitor, Hon. G. Smith and ). d. Irwin,
Esq, while the defendant was ably rep
resented by its county solicitor, A. g..
Brown, assisted by u. #. Ritchey, Esq.

Another Pleasant Shooting Event.

Another of those enjoyable events at the
traps, the third for this season, was pull
ed off on the grounds of the Tionesta
gun club Monday afternoon, when the
Sheffield and Marienville teams were
the guests of the local club. Promptly
after dinner the representatives of the
three clubs "unlimbered their guns and
were ranged up for the friendly bout,
seven men TO the team, and fifty birds to
the man. Each club, of course, put
forth its best team, and the result
shows that there has been considerable
improvement in the shooting since the
last meeting at Marienville. Several of
the scores made were of such a character
as to entitle the maker to classification
among the semi-prolessionals, and re-
Elected credit upon the performance of
the individual shooters, The day was a
perfect one for shooting, being neither too
hot nor too cool, and the event was graced
by the attendance of quite a number of
interested spectators who seemed to enjoy
the sport fully as well as the participants
themselves. The match was finished in
ample time to allow the Sheffield boys to
return on the afternoon train and reach
their homes at supper time, while most
of the Marienville gents stayed over to
fraternize with their Masonic brethren.

The crew of the cars used by Orion
Siggins in getting out lumber, near
Horse creek, had q rather exciting time
Wednesday. The cars are loaded on a
siding, which has a heavy grade, and at
the lower point there is a drop of about II
feet over the river bank A small loco
motive is used in shifting. Yesterday
afternoon a car loaded with lumber was
attached to the engine and an attempt was
made to drag it up the grade. The weight
was too great and the car ran away, drag
ging the light locomotive with it. The
runaway car and engine struck a second
car further down the siding and this car
also started on the down grade. The men
who were handling the cars and loading
the lumber were able to scramble, Jump
or fall off before the drop in tic siding
was reached, and were not injured, but
the cars went over.-Derrick.

At close of the contest the Sheffield club
extended a cordial invitation to the Mar
i~enville and Tionesta teams to make them
a return visit while the weather is propi-
tious, and this invitation will doubtless
be accepted unless hunting season should
interfere. At any rate the meetings al
ready held has greatly stimulated the in
terest in the sport, and such a cordial
feeling of friendship as will doubtless
bring them together frequently in the fu-
ture.

THRIFTY MR. ABRAMS.
rJoY.o C,;t,. Ranuhlicap


To representative of the Republican
Rev. II. II. Abrams stated that he does
not intend to remove from Iowa, but
will go right on with his work of regu-
lation. Des Moines papers announced
that he would take up homestead IN
North Dakota and remove there. Mr..
Abrams admits that he has taken up a
homestead, and that he will become a
legal resident of North Dakota. but will
remain In the state to do business at
the old stand. This places the gentle
man in curious position, to. say the
least AS legal resident of North Da-
kota he will vote there and hold legal
residence SO as to get quarter section
of land under the homestead act, when
he has no intention of more than tech
nieally complying with the law, which
mol ) public land for actual settlers.
At the same time he proposes to de-
vote himself to the regulations OF af-
fairs in a state in which he is not a
legal resident. This places him in q
position to be charged with really an
nulling the national laws, and contin-
uing his work against saloons for what
there is in it, Sordid motives have been
charged against him in the past. but
the Republican has always been inclin-
ed to consider his efforts the result OF
honest convictions, and While 1t Eas
not changed its opinions, 1t must con-
fess, he has placed himself in an atti-
tude where many will consider the pay
the inducement that holds him to Iowa
and a desire to speculate in lands his
object in taking a homestead.

Household Philosophy

Any close observer of household on
ditions is forced to the conclusion that
a large per centage Of housewives are
needless martyrs. Too many of them
live and work in "rut." Those who
grow old before their time can generally
find the cause without looking far.
Those whose daily work is a grind can
they study their work and systematic

To the woman who does her own
housework, washday is the stumbling
block. When washday becomes un-,
bearable, the washing is sent out, and
too many times the results are dis
astrous.
ers, Jas. Beach & Sons, OF Dubuque,
after "A years of soap manufacturing.
succeeded in producing soap Of ordi-
nary cost that will wash clothes with
out boiling. A half hours soaking in
Peosta suds starts the dirt, and half the
usual rubbing cleanses perfectly. The
pure wkiteness is beautiful. 1t seems
needless to say tina, the use OF such
helps in the household would tighten q
wonan's work and make her better
able to preside as the domestic head Of

Why ARE THINGS THUS7

saThe people of the country should
unite in their party platform express
sions to demand the revision of schsd-
tiles no longer needed for protection or
schedules that are being perverted in
their purpose by affor6tng shelter TO
Industries enjoying, as Governor Cum
minis says, inordinate profits.
Quoting this the Keokuk Gate City
remarks:
1.-THE Marshalltown paper should re-
read President RooseveDts Minneapo-
lis address. Therein it was distinctly
stated that
mo change in the tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solving
the so-called trust problem.
1.-The question of tariff revision
stands wholly apart from the question
of dealing with the trusts
..The idea that the tariff shelters
trusts is of democratic parentage and
Is antagonistic alike to fact and repub-
lean belief 1t is wholly out of place in
republican speeches, newspapers and
platforms"
If 1t is unrepublican TO revise tariffs
that shelter industries enjoying "inor-
dinate, profits" why did President
Roosevelt advise and why did repub-
lican congress so promptly remove the
tariff on anthracite coal? If 1t is UNI
republican to revise schedules no longer
needed, why did President Roosevelt in
recent message to congress, urging
the adoption of the Kasson reciprocity
treaties, in the same paragraph, advise
the reduction of those duties by act of
congress if the senate should refuse to
approve the treaties? Ir 1t is unrepub-
lican to mention tariff revision of any
kind in newspaper or platform, what
kind OF a fellow is Senator Dolliver,
who says that he helped frame the
Dingley bill and that some schedules
were purposely made higher than need
ed in order that we might have some-
thing to trade for reciprocal conces-
sions? If the country had been cons
yulsed last winter by a strike of the
steel trust employees and the columns of
the press had been glowing with COM
PARSONS of the wages paid and the
profits made by this protected industry,
how long does the Gate City think 1t
would have taken the president to adj

move the unnecessary gart Of the tariff

GRANDFATHER's CLOCK.
IOskaloosa Herald.1

Mrs. Nell Woodin is the owner and
possessor of what is perhaps the old
est and most curious clock in the city.
1t is an old Swiss time keeperand is in
the nature of .hall clock" 1t was
formerly the property of G. d. Woodin
of Sigourney, who presented it to Mrs.
Woodin, and has stood in his office in
that place for years and years. 1t was
more than 100 years old when he came
into possession of it,
The face of the clock Is not out OF
the ordinary. 1t is round, and of itself
would not attract attention from any
one. Neither is the clear toned bell
that strikes the hours anything that
would cause remark, but just after the
striking of the hour a miniature or
chestra begins to play. The musicians
are seated in order on top of the clock
and are in the shape of small doll like
figures A director waves his baton,
the violinist leader gets into motion and
the several instruments, horns, clarion
cts, and traps, all played by individual
figures, get very busy" and complete
melody is played The music is played
from a roll set with pins that is part
much like the old cylinder and point
music box that were quite common a
few years ago. The orchestra has quite
q repertoire of pieces, and will play any
indicated piece as directed by an in
dicator operated from the side of the
clock. The clock and the musical me-
chanism are operated by means of
weights that are hung on the interior
of the clock cabinet. The weight that
operates the orchestra and the music
weighs eighty-five pounds. The or
chestra will play or not play, VIII re-
peat at the will of the owner. The
tunes played are the old-time airs,
of the time of our ancestors. One piece
is the old Scotch tune THE Campbells
are Coming
Mrs. Noodin was told by the shop
people at Chicago that the clock was
worth several thousand dollars in the
eastern curiosity and old furniture
market. The fame of the old time
piece has gone abroad and 1t was
known that Mr.. Woodin was in po-
session of it. A short time after Mrs.
Woodin received 1t Mr.. Woodin was
visited by stranger from the east
who had made special trip to Sig

Rhinoceros Nearly Extinct.

The fhinoceros market is cornered
Not single one of this ugliest of ugly
beasts is to be had in the open markets
of the world. Geological collectors and
circus owners the world over are I'M
able to secure one, for the worlds sup
ply is apparently run out. In conse-
quence the price of this homely beast
is enormous.
There are known to be two in :nls
country. One, an old chap, tottering
with age and screwed up from rheuma-
tism, is in the Central park, New York
zoo" and the other, youngster about
8 years old and a black African, is in
the possession of Ringling Bros.
According to Pearl Souder, a wild
animal authority in the employ of Ring
ling Bros. the sun of the '.rino' is fast
setting. Not only is he an exception
ally rare article in captivity, but he has
become so scarce in the wild state as to
be already regarded as among the semi
extinct animals.
The market price of an able-bodied
rhinoteros was, until a few years ago,
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000. Now
circus managers would be willing to
pay four or five times this sum were
it possible to obtain one. Ringing
Bros. were offered $4,000 for their
young specimen.
The one in Central park, New York,
is about twenty-five years old, and has
the odd distinction of two tongues, one
above the other, operating indepen-
IDENTIFY, but attached to the same root.
Geological experts have been puzzled
by this freak of nature, and can give
no satisfactory explanation. Just now
this old fellow is in bad shape from
the aches of rheumatism, contracted,
it is said, from being chained to a con-
crete floor, and altho receiving the ut
most care, his days are obviously num-
bered.
The Ringlings' specimen was raceiv-
ed from Sumatra this winter and is
three years old. practically baby, al
tho he is ten feet long. His horns are
just beginning to sprout. His body is
covered with a scraggy coat of black
hair, about an inch long. The hairs
grow from the pores and are far apart.
His daily diet consists of six loaves
of fresh bread, and ten quarts of a
hot mash, made from bran, oats car
rots. apples and potatoes. He is called
the kid and is in perfect health.
Every two weeks he receives an oil
bath, his keeper applying neats-foot
oil with a brush after the kid" has
been securely roped down.
Several varieties of rhinoceros are
extinct. Among these are the white
rhinoceros OF Africa. The square
mouthed' rhinoceros is so rare as to
be considered practically extinct, and
the black African variety, regarded
not SO many years ago as the most
comon, has almost entirely disappeared.
The rhinoceros has always been a
problem to keepers of animals, for, de-
spite his toughness of hide and appear
ance, captivity has resulted in early
death. He is a beast SO essentially
of the wilds and in makeup SO for
eign to anything like domesticity that
all efforts at breeding in captivity have
failed. A very few years will place
the rhinoceros on the list with the
5quagga, or wild ass of South Africa,
which disappeared thirty years ago.
