A great deal of testimony was taken in this case, and it was sent to the United States supreme court for adjudication as to jurisdiction. When the United States attorney gen. eral instituted similar suit against the Northern Securities company under in- s.ructions from the president, it was tacitly understood that the Minnesota case should be held in abeyance until after the federal governments case was decided. The recent decision of the United States supreme court against the Northern Securities company ac- complished all that was desired by the projectors Of the Minnesota suit The present decision that the United States |supreme court has no jurisdiction over the Minnesota case was not unexpected by the lawyers.
 Justice Harlan, who delivered the opinion, said that the circuit court could not have entered Jurisdiction in the case. the effect being to remand the case to the state courts.

Durham. N. c.. Sept. 21.-One of
the Mi9enheimer brothers, who killed.
n negro named Snow Wilson, at New
ten, Sunday night came here and mar
roWly escaped the hands of the police.
The officers missed him less than
thirty minutes and he would have
been captured but for the fact that
the first telegram did not give any
facts or description of the man wanted,
Frank Misenheimer was the one
who came here. He left Newton i'm
mediately after the fight in which
the negro was fatally hurt and came
here. He had already purchased his
ticket to Durham to do some work
in the Erwin mill and came on here
without knowing the nero was fatally
hurt.
Monday morning the police received
telegram telling them to arrest
Frank CIR "Pabe" Misenheimer on tho
charge of murder. No description
was given and the police did not
know who 10 look for or where M
would probably be found. A telegram
was sent back to Newton asking Tor
further information and at O'CLOCK
in the afternoon the second telegram
came telling them he was a white
man, a roller cover and worked in the
Erwin mill Sergeant Aldridge, of the
notice force was detailed to arrest
The man. He went to the mill and
was told that the man wanted WaF
there ana that he was at work IN
the tower covering rollers. The officer
and superintendent went to get nm
and then aScertained that he had left
not more than thirty minutes befora
that time The officer followed hinA
to his boarding house and learned
there that he had been home anG
after getting his coat left. This wal
about thirty minutes before the oficep
arrived. Since that time nothing haI
been heard from him.
Later it was ascertained that Mis-
enheimer received a telegram telling
Of the negros death and that he acted
promptly in getting out of the way
The telegram said: "The negro is
dead. Brother in Jail. Come at
once" Misenheimer told some. of the
employees of the mill that he did not
want to be arrested here and carried
back and that he would go back and
surrender. The fact that he left his
work after all the trains were gone
for the day and the further fact th2t
he skipped out within thirty minutes
evidently walking. seems to Indicate
that he was trying to escape rather
than surrender.
AS told in the papers on Tuesday
morning the Wilson negro was killed
! in quarrel over dog. Three Misen-
heimer brothers-James, Dan and
Frank-got into the trouble and tho
negro was struck over the head with
q heavy piece of wood. He died that
night from conclusion. James was
arrested and locked up but Frank ana
Dan. who had already purchased tick
cts, left the town. Frank came here
but it is not known where Dan went.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
of female diseases.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
