DEAR SIR
think that every man that has
team of horses or any stock, ought to
have bottle of Meyers White Liniment
in the stable or his house. had a
horse that stepped in hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely, and in few days he was to work
again, and does not show any signs of
lameness. 1t worked like magic.
Respectfully Yours,
j. A. BARTHAST.

CASSODAY HOLDS
FOR "STALWARTS'''
Dissenting Opinion in the Wiscon-
sin Ballot Case Filed by
Chief Justice.
Famous Action Is Held to Come
Within the First Clause of
Section 49,.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 2o.-The long
delayed majority opinion Of the SUI
preme court in the case of the repub-
lican contest was fled this morning by
Judge Marshall. It makes. sixty type
written pages, quoting authorities vol
uminously. -
The principal interest centers in the
dissenting opinion by Chief Justice Cas-,
soday, which is in substance that the
stalwarts were right and the half
breeds wrong.
He holds that the case comes within
the first clause Of section S.. Revised
Statutes, and that the duties of the Sec
rotary of state are ministerial and hence
subject to the control of the court.
He further holds that the second
clause is merely intended to cover cases
not mentioned in the first, and that
when there is q division in a party it
should be covered by the first clause
special and the latter general, the first
should govern. In other words, the Of
fetal ballots should be prepared by the
secretary of state under the first clause
Of the section, subject to the control
of the court. Justice Cassoday says:
II am also constrained to dissent
from the opinion that the state centra
committee had exclusive jurisdiction tc
determine the controversy: Without
going into the question of the commit
tee being biased, giving it exclusive iur
isdiction would deprive voters Of the
right Of being represented in the state
convention Of the party to which they
belong by delegates Of their OWL
choice.'
| The opinion reviews the action Of thu
committee acting as a committee on ere
dentials and deciding in advance JUS
what delegates should be allowed to en-
! ter the hall Of the convention and par
| ticipate in the organization. This fea
ture Of the convention is commented OF
in scathing terms, and the judge say
the committee assumed more powe
than the convention itself possessed.
''To bar from the convention law
fully elected representatives of voter
is, in my opinion, to bar out the voter

Gin the first place, there has been

against Burbank. His line of defens'
is that he was hated by Mapa, the jus

lifted.

In event the jury finds DR.. A. A. Ames
guilty, will his attorney try to over
throw the verdict because one of the
iurymen has been convicted of a crime
and is disqualified from serving as a
juror?
This question was widely discussed
this morning, after the jury returned
for additional instructions and showed
some indication that on agreement
might n gd de reached. Sections $500 and d
persons are disqualified from serving as
jurors who have, been convicted Of any
infamous crime.' -.
From these statutes it is argued that
one of the Ames jurors is disqualified
from acting. At one time. he was or.
rested for stealing a cow from a won.
an who lived near Lake Harriet. Cap.
tain Henry Getchell traced the crime
to. him, and he finally confessed and
offered to pay the woman for the cow
She refused, and he was indicted and
the case disposed Of in the district court
! It is contended that this disqualifes
him from serving on the jury, and that
a verdict in which he concurred would
be illegal. ~ .t
