There is case in court at Mt. Pleas

There is case in court at Mt. Pleas
ant, Iowa, that is of more than ordinary
interest to the people generally. 1t is
a suit to disbar two attorneys who are
charged with practicing schemes to
work up business which if true, ought
to be sufficient to give the fellows a
good long term in the penitentiary.
One charge is that widow, who was
having the firm settle up some estate
business for her, incidently remarked
that a neighbor had called upon her to
see ifhe could buy certain piece Of
property. The lawyer thought he saw
chance to work up a case and sug-
gested that if she would consent
| to it that they would begin suit against
the neighbor for breach of promise,
and when informed that the man had
made no such proposal she was inform
ed that it made no difference as to that
for they could make him come down
proposed to her. The proposition was
to take the case for half they could
make out of it, but the woman was too
honest to go into the deal with them
and when the story leaked out it was
taken up by the other attorneys Of
the town and they proposed to have
their ranks cleared Of such dishonesty.
If the fellows are guilty it is to be
hoped that they may get their just de-
serts with a term in the pen thrown in.
! A rascally lawyer has the opportunity
to do vast amount of mean work in
the way of working up blackmail
schemes and the unfortunate thing is
! that in many instances the persons who
are approached with the dishonest
propositions are not as honest as the
| Mt. Pleasant woman and such cases
are worked to finish. There is a little
doubt that in every community there
are mon who have been victims of such
schemes.

Advice to Advertisers.

Don't advertise your fall goods after
people have bought all the fall goods
they want.
Don't tell the newspaper man to "just
fix up things" do the fixing" yourself.
The newspaper man may not be a mind
reader.
Don't tell the people about bargains
unless you can convince them that you
have them.
Don't misrepresent anything in your
ads. People are not as easy as they
used to be, and it will leave an opening
for your competitor.
Don't keep your adj standing longer
than two weeks. People get tired OF
looking at it.
Don't rush in with your ad just before
the paper goes to press.
Compositors must have time to set
good ads.
Don't adj spasmodically. Keeping
everlastingly at it brings success.
Don't wait until the rush season
comes to place an ad. The dull season
is the best time to advertise.
Don't brag in your ads unless you
have the goods to show for it. People
insist on having facts in ads nowadays
Don't pinch on advertising space.
But buy space so that your ad wont
look crowded, and don't buy so much
that your ad will be all white space
Get your moneys worth.
