Is Awarded $40, 900 For Breach
of Promise Committed by
Potter
EXPECT CASE TO BE APPEALED
Attorney Neff, For Defense, Asserts
That Potter Was Driven Insane by
Plaintiffs Infdelity Details of
Closing Day of the Trial = Attorney
Holister Bitterly Arraisns Potter.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 20.-After being
out fifty-five minutes, most of which
was spent in fixing the amount of
damages, the jury in the district court
awarding Miss Sarah e. Ham, of Du-
buque, $4,000 for breach of promise
committed by G. A. Potter, the Wis
consin lumberman.
This decision was reached after a
trial which lasted one week and
brought out the most sensational testi
mony ever heard in Minnesota.
The closing day Of the trial was con-
sumed entirely by argument of the OPP
posing attorneys and the courts in
structions to the jury. Attorney Porter
J. Neff for the defense occupied the
morning session and the afternoon was
devoted to statement of the plain
tiff's case by Attorney HOLSTER.
Mr.. Neff contended that Potter's let
tiers were not such as a man would in
dite to girl to whom he was engag-
ed.
He asserted that Miss Hams infidel-
tty to him was such a Shock TO HotIef
that he went insane and was confined
in an asylum from 1891 to 1897. After
he was liberated it was charged the
old affection did not return and the
thought of marriage was farthest
from his mind.
Attorney HOLSTERS argument was a
bitter arraignment of Potter whom he
characterized as being worse than a
savage wolf" alleging that he had taxi
en- advantage of an innocent girl and
then tired Of his bargain.
Judge Ensign in delivering the charge
said that the questions involved We're
whether the promise was made, wheth-
er the plaintiff was unmarried, and
whether defendant refused to marry
her. Aside from that the questions of
whether she was a good or bad woman
and whether she was under the inf1u-
ence of drugs when a former settle
ment was made must be left to the
jury.
Appeal is Expected.
Although Attorney Neff declined to
make statement, it is expected the
case will be appealed. 1t has been

will present roster of very strong
names. William II. Post has been re-
engaged as his stssge manager.
Mr. Goodwin is very enthusiastic over
his new play. The scenes are laid part
ly in America and partly in England.
Maxine Elliott, his wife, after reading
the manuscript, wrote him that had this
piece fallen into their hands a year
earlier she would not have ventured on
her independent starring tour, as there
are roles in it exactly fitting each of
them. The difficulty Of securing plays
with parts of equal Importance was
what caused their professional separa-
ton.
Mr.. Goodwin passed part of the
summer a.. Ostend, with occasional vis-
it's to p lis for consultation over the
sartoris embellishments for the new
piece, ne women characters in which
will wear some magnificent gowns.

This the most extraordinary poli-

that the predominant feature is lack

MUNICIPAL PLANT ASSURED.
Milwaukee Minority Lighting Report
is Turned Down.


Milwaukee, Sept. 2o.-As the result of
a report made by special committee
which visited other cities in favor of
the municipal lighting scheme, the
comptroller yesterday signed the bond
ordinance, which is to give the city
$4,000 to start municipal lighting
plant The minority of the committee
reported against a municipal lighting
plant at this time on the ground that
the figures on which the majority of
the committee based it's report regard
ing lighting expense in other cities had
in no case been verified. 1t was by no
means certain that a municipal plant
would be cheaper than the offer of the
present lighting company to furnish

Drink Sour Milk and Live

stitute Professor
CAUSES WAR AMONG MICROBES
Qualities Claimed for Sour Milk Are
Proved to Exist, by Example of the
Bulearians Professor Metchinkoff
Has Great Hopes of Prolonsine Life
Beyond Present Average.

London, Sept. 20.-According to an
interview with Professor Eli Metchnik-
off, of the Pasteur Institute, which APP
years in the October number of the Pail
Mall Magazine, the nearest approach to
the elixir of life is sour milk Anyone
desiring to attain a ripe old age, is rec
commended by Professor Metchnikoff to
follow the examples of the Bulgarians
who are noted for their longevity, and
who consume large quantities of this
cheap and easily obtained beverage.
Sour milk, states M. Metchnikoff,
contains a large bacillus remarkable
for the great quantity of Tactic acid
it is capable of producing.
This microbe does not exist normally
in the human body, and can be intro
duced with great benefit to the health,
as it preys on the hundreds of thou
sands of microbes which infest the
large intestine.
1t has been noted that there is a
great similarity between old age and
disease. The study of certain diseases
has proved that there is no difference
between the mechanism of senile afro
ply and that of atrophy caused by the
microbe on the person.
In fact, on the approach of old age
a veritable battle is waged in the in
nermost parts of the body.
Research is therefore being prosecute
ed to discover some means of strength
ening the vital elements of the body,
on the one hand and to weaken the
aggressive tendency of the harmful mi
crobes on the other. When this end
has been attained, Professor Metchni-
koff hopes to be able to prolong life
considerably beyond the present aver

Ida Renee.

Miss Renee is effective in half song
half recitative, lines accompanied by
the orchestra. She possesses undoubted
ability, and her style is somewhat rem
iniscent Of Cissy Lotus in the days
when her inimitable powers of mimicry
paved the way for her present pros
perity.
A novel phase of the play is a sudden
change from comedy to pathos, or even
tragedy, at the close of the first act.
Dave Lewis in the title role, a Chicago
tourist captured to be made cook for
the Rajah Oolong, suddenly remembers
his family in America and sings song,
"Let Me Go Back" that strikes sympa-
thetic chords.
A Mother Goose ballet and a ballet
