A Farmer Found It.

Mount Pleasant. Utah, May 23.-To
find a medicine that will cure every

Kidneys has been the aim Of many
physicians and chemists
Mr.. G. Il. Peterson, a farmer of this
place, says he has found such rem

says the remedy is Dodds Kidney

IMPORTANT RULING.
Demurrer of Defense Sustained i.
School District Case

Turin, 1a May 26-What is regarded
as very important ruling in relation
to the taking of territory from an adj
Joining township in order to form an
independent school district, and which
is likely to have direct bearing In other
parts of the state, was made by Judge
j.. r. Gaynor. of the district court, at
Onawa, on Monday.
When the Independent school district
of Turin was originally formed, there
was incorporated into the district q
portion of Kennebec township. This
course of proceeding soon after stirred
up the fire of Indignation of the part
of some of the people of that town.
ship, and an action IN certiorari was
brought by the president of the kenne-
bee township school board. citing the
board of Belvidere township, In which
Turin is situated. ana also the members
of the independent school district of
Turin. to appear and show cause why
the territory taken from Kennebec
township should not be restored to that
township Legal proceedings We're also
instituted under the title of Mapes ct
al. vs.. the Independent School District
of Turin, and the petition of the plain
tiff dismissed on motion of the respond
ents.
Two-thirds of the citizens of Kenne-
bee township then petitioned the school
board authorized to receive back the
territory and to which 1t formerly be-
longed, and the school board of Turin
lcting with the county superintend-
ent. also requested that they be de-
tached from the Independent school dis
trict of Turin, and received back by the
district to which they formerly be-
longed
The county superintendent, and the
school district which was to have re-
ceived back the territory concurred and
acted favorably upon the petition. But
the board of the independent district
OF Turin refused, and mandamus pro-
ceedings were brought before their con-
currence.
The case was stubbornly fought on
both sides and aroused much interest
In oil parts Of the county, because of
dependent school districts. Prichard &
Newly OF Onawa, skilfully handled the
side of the defense. After a long drawn
out battle they filed demurrer to the
petition and the point raised and de-
cided as to whether section 2792 OF the
code applied to the restoration of terri
tory that was q part OF the original
formation of the independent school
district. A previous decision of the SUI
of the code so applied. with strong
dissenting opinion by Justice Adams.
But since the rendering of this de-
cision the language of the statute has
been somewhat changed. No decision
upon this section has been before the
supreme court since the amendment.
Judge Gaynor held that this section
was not applicable to the territory that
was part of the original formation.
and therefore sustained Prichard &
Newly, defendants attorneys, in their
demurrer.

PENSION Law FNAnaIAG !:
PENSION Law Recognizes 1t as Proper
Basis for Widows Application

Washington, May a5.-Therc is hope for
many widows of soldiers who have been
unable to furnish proof of marriage i"
connection with their applications for pei-
sions. A ruling of the pension office has;
recently become known, to the effect that
in cases where state laws recognize corl-
mon law marriages the pension Office viii
also recognize them.
1t is stated many widows haze dropped
the prosecution of their claims because
they could not furnish proof of legal mar
riages, but did not know OF their rights
under the common law marriage ruling.
If these cases are revived and the claims
ants furnish proof of a common law mar
riage the department will take UP tho
eases and adjudicate them on that basis.

Port Arthur Come. Next.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The prevail
ing opinion at the headquarters of the
general staff is that the withdrawal of
the Japanese upon Feng Wang Cheng
means that the enemy has decided to
devote himself primarily to the opera
tions against Port Arthur, and that the
present object of General Kurol5i, with
the first army supported by General
Nadya with the third army now land
ing near Taku Shan, is to watch Cen
eral Kuropatkin and prevsnt a move
southwark which would take General
Oku and the second army on the Lao
Tung peninsula in the rear.
A direct attack upon Kuropatkin's
main force apparently Is not considered
to be impending. Nothing more than
outpost affairs are anticipated, al
though some of these may be sangui-
nary. Russian scouts are keeping in
constant touch with the enemy, and
thus far the minor shiftings of the
enemy's detachments west Of the Ia
yang river and northward OF Moi Ting
Ling are considered to be in the nature
of screens. If the two armies Of the
Russian commander in chief are try
ing to work a force around in the rear
of General Kuroki. or are planning a
surprise, of course the fact is sedulous-
ly concealed here.
Uneasiness is displayed at the near
APPROACH OF the rainy season which
Will retard If not completely stop field
operations. although this plays directly
into the Russians hands. The Rus
slams will continue to hold Newchwang.
Kai Chou and Tashi Chou until a
move in force is made towards Hal
Cheng with the object Of cutting off the
retirement of the force at Kai Chou,
which is sufficient to stand off an
ordinary force of the enemy, and to
discourage landing of troops there or
ut Hung Yo Chen.
