; Important Decisions
PRoMIssoRY NOTES.

In Nebraska 1t is provided by stat
ute that no one shall practice medicine
without license. A note was given
for medical services rendered by an
unlicensed practitioner. The supreme
court of Nebraska holds that such note
might be recovered on in the hands of a
bona fide purchaser. Notwithstanding
the statutory prohibition. The court
lays down the general principle that a
statute. tho rendering an act criminal,
will not be construed sc as to make a
negotiable instrument void In the hands
of bona fide purchaser, unless the act
so specifically declares.-293 North
western Rep. (Nebraska), $50.
PROPERTY - INFORMATION.
The supreme judicial court of Mas
satchusetts holds that where a COM
pany is engaged in compiling informa-
ton as to public Improvements as soon
after they are contemplated as possible,
and distributing such information to its
customers under an agreement that
they will use the reports in strict con-
fidence and for their business only, to
enable them to take steps to obtain
contracts, such company has prop
erty right in the information SO COM
piled. which the courts will protect
against one who surrept.tiously obtains
such information from a customer of
the company and disseminates it to
lothers.-66 Northeastern Rep. (Massa-
chusetts), 204.
DELAYED TELEGRAlMS-DA
There is no presumption that an
uncle will suffer mental anguish from
the failure to attend his nieca's funeral,
and hence, in the absence of notice to
the company of such probable conse-
quences, 1t is not liable to him for neg
ligent delay in delivering a telegram
announcing the death, whereby his at
tendance was prevented. Neither Is the
fact that he is prevented from COM
forting his sister on the occasion of
the burial of her child an element of
damages recoverable from the COM
pany.-75 Southwestern Rep (Texas,
Judge Williams), 4S2.
UNSUITABLE HOMICIDE.
A husband has the legal right to the
company and custody of his wife and
child. and the wife's father has no au-
thority to keep them from him; and if
i. is necessary for the husband to kill
the wife's father to prevent the latter
killing him or taking his wife and child
away from him. and thus endangering
him in life or serious injury. he would
be iustified.-75 Southwestern Rep.
(Texas, Judge Davidson), 527.
CORPORATIONS.
The supreme court of Illinois held,
in the recent case of the Link Belt Ma
chinery Company VS.. Hughes, that a
creditor of an embarrassed corporation
who for the purpose of getting control
of its plant and shielding 1t from eredi-
tors, collusively obtained the appoint-
ment of a receiver and thereby pre-
vented the owner of the premises on
which the plant was located from en-
forcing his claim for rent, was person
ally liable for the rent accrulng during
the receivership.
CRIMINAL LAW-RRIBFRY.
| The court of criminal appeals OF Tex
as has decided that a prisoner held I'M
der an illegal arrest can not be con-
victed of offering to bribe an officer to
allow him to escape.-72 Southwestern

Dewitt Is the Name.

When you go to buy Witch Hazel
Salve look for the name DEWITT on
every box. The pure, unadulterated
witch hazel is used in making DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve. which is the best
salve in the world for cuts, burns,
bruises, boils, eczema and piles. The
popularity of DeWitts Witch Hazel
Salye, due to its many cures, has caused
numerous worthless counterfeits to be
placed on the market. The genuine

Ancient people had their tutelary
trees just as they had their tutelary
gods-the former being the affairs and

to their belief, dared not approach tt.

General Cassius M. Clay fought
many duels in his day, usually with his
long bfaded knife,meeting pistol or rifle
equally with that trusty weapon. His
physical strength was gigantic. He was
accustom to the use Of weapons, and
he was always cool and never lost his
Judgment. For example. when an adj
versary shot him, and he supposed he
was done for. he inflated his lungs to
the full. conscious that he would live
as long as he could hold his breath
Then he drew his knife and did his
bloody work. That was when he killed
Turner. After all. speaking musingly,
reviewing his life, he confessed to a
reporter, when he was above 81, that
he was opposed on principle to the duel

But if the Hawk-Eye persists in re-
ferring to the late convention and the
adoption of the platform, we want to
say gently that there is but one out
come to the situation. Had the Alii-
son, Cummins. Blythe compact for any
reason miscarried in the committee on
resolutions, there would have been
something doing when the committee
reported to the convention. 1t was well
known to the friends of the governor
that the agreement preserved all they
cherished as vitality important on The
questions of tariff. trusts and recipro-
city. 1t was felt by them that Sena-
tors Allison and Dolliver fully approved
the substance and expressions of the
proposed platform. They would have
been shocked beyond expression had
the committee by any device or for
any reason reported another kind OF a
platform They had such faith In the
integrity of the gentlemen concerned
that they did not regard as especially
important who were members or the
on resolutions, for they believed That
the platform endorsed by the governor.
by and with the agreement OF other
distinguished republicans involved,
would be reported from the committee.
They had an undoubted majority of
delegates in the convention, and had
the committee on resolutions made IL
necessary to stand by the governor ana
others concerned, the majority would
have risen to the demands of the oc-
casion and carried out the Will OF the
republican majority of the state. rms
is only one of the things that would
have happened had a radical and per-
verse committee attempted to reject
the agreement entered into by the
sages and fathers Of the republican
party.
Meanwhile there never was a more
happier or more exultant, 1ubllant'
hopeful. harmonious set of men IN Iowa
than the ante-convention friends ana
followers Of albert B. Cummins.

tho average. or under-the--avera
nerson, will pick on the apparently gooe
victim first. 1t is SO easy to ma ms
flaws, that any less worthy subject Is
passed over as being too easy TO waste
time on. That is why so many people
like to talk about the preacher. we are
after him now.
,rhe preache on looking over the fielo
usually selects the newspaper as mars
for his first criticism, which, on the
theory expressed above. goes to prove
that the newspaper is the best thing II
sight. The newspapers generally plead
guilty to all charges brought against
them. Knowing that they are guilty OF
would be if they gave satisfaction tc
their subscribers In their conduct OF
the paper.
We are all human and some of us
more so.
Recently "the newspapers" were crit
icized for giving so much space to Sun
day ball and so little to Sunday SER
mons and revival meetings. This paper
is interested in the charge by impli-
cation and puts on the shoes because
they fit. and pleads guilty.
In this connection 1T might be said
that the Sunday ball managers come
to us with written announcements and
pay us for running their advertising
and then employ us on their job work
On the other hand, the preacher has
to be hunted down and the announce
ment which he gets paid for making
and we print for nothing, is coaXed from
him and then he takes his job work to
some shop that has done him no favors
and after all publicly iambasts us-all
Of which is perfectly proper, but which
we mention merely as an eXtenuating
circumstance in connection with oul
crime.

He intimated that he had not been
