His Last Hope Realized l.

From The Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.1
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to set tlers in 1889. the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April During his trave.ing about and afterwards his camping upon his claim. he encountered much bad water. which, together with the severe heat gave him very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he ex- pected to die. One day one of his neigh bors brought him one small bottle of ChanberIain's Colic, Cholera arid Dlar- rhoea Remedy as a last hope. big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground In great agony. and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon, noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure. and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel ds- orders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists. adv.

GERMS ELEcTRocUTED.
Water is Purified by Electrifaction
 and Iteration.

Minneapolis Journal.
 Louis Johnson. an employe of the Min neapolis Waterworks Department. has de- vlsed a plan whereby typhoid fever and other germs that make their abode in the city water can be killed by an applica- ton of air and electricity. His system, which was tested at the East Side pump ing station, provides for the aeration of the water and the electrocution of the germs by a strong current from the dy- namo. The test was a success, for Dr. Corbett, the city bacteriologist, said that at least 70 per cent. of the germs was destroyed and, it is possible, the execu- ton was greater. A microscopic examina- ton will determine this point.
 Water from the intake is run through an eight-inch pipe into tank on the floor of the pump house. while running through the pipe the water is aerated by two air pipes. While the water is in the

 NATIONAL BUILDING & LOAN ASSo- CLAYTON V. CHEATHAM, ct al.
 Bill in Equity Against Building & Loan Association for Accounting and Re- demption.-Appeal from the City Court of Montgomery, in Equity. 1. Bill for accounting and redemption; when contains equity; attorneys fees.-
 In a bill filed by mortgagor against building and loan association seeking an accounting and redemption, it was averr-
 ed that the respondent mortgagee was claiming a withdrawal fee and an attor- news fee, and was proceeding to fore close for said claims under the power contained in the mortgage; that the com plainants did not owe said amounts. and | that they were not secured by the mort gage. The complainants submitted them selves to the Jurisdiction of the court and offered to pay whatever was que from them on account upon the mort gage debt to the respondent In the mort gage which was made an exhibit to the | bill. it was provided that in the event of the foreclosure under the power, the mortgagor should pay an attorneys fee' and such fee was in fact paid by the mortgagee, or when it may have became A liability against the latter. It was averred in the bill that the respondent had never become liable for the attor- ney's fee which is claimed by the com plainant. While the bill was pending the mortgage was foreclosed under the pow CT. Held That on such allegations the bill as one to redeem, contains equity and is not open to demurrer, and fur ther that 1t is of no consequence to the rights of the complainant that the fore closure under the power contained in the mortgage had been had since the ming of the bill, since the court having ac- ouired Jurisdiction for the purpose Of an accounting and jurisdiction, will set aside said sale If necessary to accomp> fish the purposes for which Jurisdiction | had been assumed.

 Circuit Court of Wilcox.
 l. Indictment for murder: admissibil- ity Of evidence.-On trial under an in- dictment for murder where the evidence introduced tending to connect the defend, ant with the crime is mainly circumstan- tial. 1t Is not competent for the widow of the deceased to testify that on Sunday night before the killing of her husband on Thursday, some one came to their house after they had gone to he'd and knocked on the side of the house, but left without saying anything" there be- ing nothing in the evidence adduced tend ing directly or indirectly to connect the defendant with the occurrence and the crime.
 2. Same; same.-On a trial under an indictment for murder, where the evil dence tending to connect the defendant with the crime is partly circumstantial, it is permissible for the witness to tes- tifys that after the homicide he saw near the place of the killing some tracks. and that where the tracks left the place of the killing they looked like tracks of a person running. and as they went fur ther on, such tracks looked like tracks made by person walking

Same; same.--In a criminal case. a charge requested by the defendant is properly refused as being argumentative | which instructs the jury that before they can convict the defendant they must be satisfied to a moral certainty not only that the proof is consistent with the de- fendant's guilt, but that 1t is wholly in consistent with every other rational con- clusion, and unless the jury are so con- | vinced by, the evidence of defendants s guilt that they would each venture to act upon that decision in matters of highest concern and importance to his own inter- est, then they must find the defendant | not guilty" 6. Same; charge as to credibility of l witness.-A jury is not required to pass on the credibility or truthfulness of state ments made by one who is subsequently, examined as a witness, and which are given in evidence merely by way of con | tradicting and thereby impeaching his ! credibility as a witness; and charges | which instruct the jury to the contrary are properly refused as being misleading.
