HUDSON, Wis. Jan. 21.-Miss Josie Ham
mer, the 15-year-old daughter OF Halvor p.
Hammer Of Cooperstown, last July devel-
oped such a perplexing physical condition
that their family physician advised that
she be taken to a sanitarium. The special
list in charge, after making an examination,
pronounced that she would not live three
days, 1t is said. Josie was accompanied by
her elder sister Helga. They then con-
suited the Bone-Setter, at Hudson, Wis,
whose wonderful cures have attracted the
widest attention all over the northwest.
He made an examination and pronounced
her trouble Renal Dropsy and ST. vitus
Dance, and placed her under treatment at
once. At the end OF six weeks her i'm
provement was marvellous. Josie was home
for over the holidays and her improvement
is certainly wonderful. She seems like a
different girl and her complete recovery is
assured.
No Use for Clutches.
(Erom the Minneapolis Tribune.)
Miss Edith Muzzy. residing at 1900 Emer-
son avenue, Minneapolis, a 16-year-old girl,
who has been a CONFIRMED invalid for many
years with tubercular disease Of the hip,
walked into the Tribune Office Tuesday
without crutches.
Miss Muzzy betrayed but slight evidence
in her walk OF the trouble that has COM
PEELED her to use crutches for so large a
share OF her life. She walked with scarcely
any difficulty and 1t developed that she had
walked half a mile to say a good word for
the Hudson, Wis, bone-setter, DR.. w. c.
Arons, who had treated her with results
so eminently satisfactory.
Mrs. Muzzy, who accompanied her
daughter. declared that the girl had been
treated by some Of the most eminent sur.
geons of the country and that she hal
been given up by them as incurable. The
bonesetter undertook the case without
promising to effect a cure, but the results
of his treatment for a short time are sc
marvellous that there appears no doubt Q
| permanent cure will be made.

Argue Phillips Case.

The case of the State against Jack Phil
lips. convicted OF manslaughter, was ar
gued on rehearing before the supreme court
today. Phillips, while acting as a special
policeman at Eldon, dubbed Clarence
Debard so severely that he died. /. NJ.
Tomllnson, for the defense, today argued
that the killing Of Debard must be held to
have been accidental, because the autopsy
had shown Debard's skull to be abnormally
thin. and that IL Phillips misjudged the
thickness of the skull and inflicted blows
that ordinarily would not have caused
death to a man, he should not be held re-
sponsible.
The court held in the case of McMinimee
against Smith from Crawford, in which a
judgment for $500 on account OF slanderous
words had been entered. that an open &C
c~usation OF theft is actionable without
proof of special damages and the judgment
was proper.
In a damage case from Burlington, where
one Richard T. Barry was killed by a street
car the lower court had decided that there
was ~contr.butory negligence shown and that
there was no showing hat the motorman
could have prevented the accident. The SUI
preme court holds that the jury should
have been allowed to decide this.
In a tax ferret case from Story county
the county auditor instead of the county
treasurer had performed the act of making
the assessment against property turned up
by the fer"ets and the court holds this was
without authority.

Confirmed LOnE Sentence.

The Iowa supreme court this morning
passed judgment on another Iowa muir
derer and determined that the sentence Of
twenty-five years in the penitentiary, which
he received at the hands of Judge Dewey
at Sioux City, was warranted by the evil
dence and not at all excessive in his case.
Ben Mcknight had on several occasions
b~rutally assaulted and abused his wife and
on February IA, 1901, he had assaulted her
and inflicted upon her terrible wounds.
from which blood poisoning followed and
her death followed nine days later. Nc
knight was convicted OF murder in the Sec
ond degree and sentenced by Judge Dewey
to twenty-five years Imprisonment. The
court was asked TO state that this SEN
tence was excessive, but declares, in al
opinion written bysJustice Weaver, that
the crime. as the evidence tends to estsb-
lish, was a peculiarly brutal and heartless
one, and that the defendant could not Justly
complain of any penalty less severe than
the extreme limit provided by the laws.
The chief reliance for a reversal was on
the allegation that the statements of the
murdered woman admitted in the case were
without warrant, since it was not shown
that she realized her impending death. The
court finds that she fully realized her con-
dition.
