HOLDER OF STAKES NOT
LIABLE TO THE BETT0RS.
Decision From the Court of Appeals
In Litigation Over an Elec-
ton Wager.

According 10 Judge Goodn Of the st. Louis
he held liable for a bet placed in his hands,
even If a demand is made of him previous
to the time agreed upon for the decision.
In the case of James Nandolah against
Albert Mckee, appealed from the Circuit
Court of Clark County, the decision was
rendered. in which the verdict of the lower
court is affirmed. Nandolah. It appears,
made a bet with a friend named Ragsdale
that Dockery would not be elected Gov
ernor by 1900 majority.
After the election the men disputed the
terms of the bet, and subsequently Van
holah demanded the money, claiming he
had won. but later asked for only the
amount he had waGered. and accordingly
served notice on Mckee not to pay the
money to Ragsdale. Mckee, however. ig-
nored the notice and gave the money to
Ragsdale the next day.
Nanholah then instituted proceedings
against Mckee and the case was decided
against him. He then appealed the case
with the same result.

Bland and Reyburn concur. reads. in part:

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH,
Hyomei Goes to the Root Of The
Diseases and Makes Astonishing
Cures,

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of
pills. liquid medicines and so-called system

the disease will still live in the air Passages
and increase and multiply.
Hyomei Is the only scientific and thor
ouGh way to cure catarrh. Killing the germs
in the air passages. it enters the blood with
the oxygen. destroys the microbes i'm :he
blood and eifectuaily drives from the sys-
tom all traces OF catarrhal poison.

remedy. j.. s.. Nusent, treasurer of the

Probably the strongest evidence that can
be offered as TO the powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh is the fact that your druggist
will agree 10 refund the money IL you say
Hyomei has not cured you.
Now is a good time to cuis your catarrh.

The appointment OF a COMMITTEES Of three
delegates 10 consider resolutions in regard
to Jews who are not affiliated with any
congregation. and the offering OF a reso-
luton 10 instruct the Executive Commit
tee 10 call 4 national congress of Jews
of America. probably TO he held in ST.
Louis. were the incidents of the opening
session of the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations at the Planters yesterday.
The introduction OF the resolution for the
appointment OF the special oc-
cas.oned a display of parliamentary fill
clustering that occupied the undivided at
tention Of the delegates for more than an
hour.
The original resolution was presented by
the st. Louis delegation. and contained a
clause commanding the Jews of this
city for inaugurating the work Of bringing
those not affiliated into the synagogues.
Instantly representatives from Cleveland,
Cincinnati and a member of the National
Rabbis' Conference, were upon their feet
demanding recognition from the chair.
Protests were entered against giving the
local organizations the credit of starting
the movement. and substitute resolutions
were offered faster than the assistant sec
retary could read them.
A motion to adjourn was defeated in the
midst of the discussion, after n division on
the vote had been called for and count
made by the chair.
After an animated debate. a resolution
was adopted appointing a committee Of
three to consider any resolutions on the
subject that may be presented to the coun-
ell. The committee. as named by President
Frank. follows: The Reverend Joseph Sill
verman, Max B. May and Isreal Klein.
A resolution to instruct the Executive
Committee to call 4 national congress was
then introduced and a sharp tilt took place
between those in favor Of. and those opposed
to the project. Another motion TO adjourn
was defea ted by a close vote.
A compromise was finally effected by
which the resolution will take precedence
over all other business from II to 1850
o'clock this morning.
The morning session was convened at 10
o'clock. A committee on credentials was
appointed, and 1t submitted a report before
the adjournment of the session. The at
tention CT the delegates was occupied by
