Notes Are Non-NeootiabIe.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb 17-Judge
Ludwig, in the circuit court today, de-
cided that notes such as were issued by
Henry Herman, the capitalist, during sew
eral years of his business in Milwaukee,
were nOn-negotiable because of the under
tainty of the time when they were to
become due and that persons who ac-
cepted them from him did so at their
own risk. The decision affects many
cases. Herman disappeared from Mil
waulxee several months ago and has not
been located by the authorities.

What the Editors Say

Cole Younger is not satisfied with the
measure Of freedom his parole gives
him. He wants more latitude He has
pet1tioned for an absolute pardon.
From what has been said it is evident
that he sees in the approaching expo
s1uon at st. Louis a great opportunity
for the display Of his peculiar talents
and an easy method Of acquiring a
competency. Cole should get what he
asks. He Is a characteristic Missouri
product and no exposition of the re-
sources and history of that state would
be at all complete without something
were done to show 1t is indebted for it's
fame to the worthy petitioner and his
old time associates-Faribault Journal.
The Republican party in this state,
divided into factions, is arrayed in
political battle Of determination of
leaders. Such is the conclusion one
must draw from the expression in the
press, made by friends of the pro-
nounced candidates for the Office of
governor the present year.
Eddy has his friends. So has Collins
and SO has Dunn. The harangue
about mergers and railroads, as well as
anti-railrOad candidates, is not making
any tnroad with the voters. In this
vicinity we find very few Republicans
who desire to go on record at this

Her Ucnrt IS MusirnI.

Prof. Reitter of Vienna, recently
astonished the medical society of that
city by saying that one of his pa
tents had a musical heart. She is IL
woman, and ever since her fourth year
she has suffered from palpitations.
While still very young she noticed that
a harmonious and thrilling sound came
from her chest whenever she breathed,
and a year or two later this music
became so distinct that any one who
was in the same room with her could
hear it. AS she grew older il became
more shrill and closely resembled a
human voice. At present this curious
music consists of only two notes, which
are described as being very sweet and
clear. Prof. Reitter and the other mem
bers of the medical society are now
studying this singular phenomenon,
and the result OF their Investigations
is awaited with interest by physicians
throughout Europe-Stray Stories.

which will cure it, even in the most adj

A remedy that will cure Brght's Disease
