meander line Of the river, and hav-
ing improved, cultivated and exer-
cised complete dominion and con-
troll over the land for a period OF
IL years, and in the meanwhile
mover having had his title ques-
toned, he would still, in our judg-
ment, be able to maintain his ac-
ton under section 1888, Revised
Statutes, as against the defendant,
William r. Hurst, to quiet his title.
eThe plaintiff, 0. p. Johnson,
made showing which entitled him
to recover. The defendent, VIM.
r. Purst, was a naked trespasser
and established no right either at
law or in equity.
"The judgment will be reversed
and the case remanded with direc-
ton to the trial court to make find
ings upon the evidence heretofore
introduced in harmony with the
law of the case as herein announced
and render judgment in accordance
Herewith Costs awarded to APP
pellant.'
1t is stated by those informed
that great many other valuable
ranches bordering on Snake river
were subject to the same claim as
put forward by Mr.. Hurst in this
instance, consequently the decision
in this case is of vital interest to
great many, and forever settles the
possibility of any similar claims to
property held in the same manner.
Mr.. Walters, aided by his assist
ant, fought the case with skill and
vigor, leaving no stone unturned to
bring the merits of the controversy
to the attention of the supreme
court, and has won a signal victory
in behalf of his client.

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers should always keep in
good bodily health. They owe it
to their children. Yet it is no I'M
usual sight to see a mother, with
babe in arms, coughing violently
and exhibiting all the symptoms of
a consumptive tendency. And
why should this dangerous con-
dition exist, dangerous alike to
mother and child, when DIR. Bos-
chee's German Syrup would put a
stop to it at once? No mother
should be without this old and
tried remedy in the house-for its
timely use will promptly cure any
lung, bronchial or throat trouble
in herself or children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured
by German Syrup. So can hoarse-
ness and congestion of the bron-
chial tubes. 1t makes expeciora
ton easy, and gives instant relief
and refreshing rest to the cough
raked consumptive. New trial

The Box Kite.

The chief defect of the box kite, of
which Dr. Langley's aerodEome is an
elaboration, is that the weight in
.creases with the cube as rapidly as
the lifting power does with the
square, SO that the larger the kite
the less it will lift in proportion.
Prof. GRAHAM Bells kites are equal
sided triar giles, so that they need no

ing power increased at greater rate
than the increase in weight. A flock

DECISION REVERSED
William X. Hurst In the
Supreme Court.

the creation of Lincoln count,
= than the controversy between O
p. Johnson and William r. Hurst
over certain land near Kanoka in
this county. Mr.. Hurst was repre-
scented by McFadden & Brodhead
of Haley and Mr.. Johnson by E.
A. Walters of this place, assisted
by E. NJ. Wolfe of Mountainhome
The facts in the case appear to
be that in 1887 0. p. johnson
bought of Granville Brown certain
land, which from the official plat
on file in the land office, bordered
on Snake river. Mr.. johnson has
occupied the land ever since and
each year raises from five to six
hundred tons of hay on it. Last
November Mr.. Hurst went upon
the land and erected a dwelling
house on it and filled "Possessorv
Claim Notice." claiming the land
was unsurvcyed, and proceeded to
make other Improvements on it
and denied Mr.. Johnson title or
right to the same The contention
raised by Mr.. Hurst was that at
this point the meander line of
Snake river was the bluff or rim
rock to the north, and this mean
der line being the southern bound
cry of Mr.. Johnson's land that it
laid on top of the bluff, and that
the land between the rimrock and
the river bank had never been sur
veyed and was not the land which
Mr.. Johnson had bought and for
which the government had issued
a patent to Granville Brown, from
whom Mr.. johnson purchased. If
these contentious were true it
would give Mr.. Hurst a valuable
ranch worth five or six thousand
dollars and give Mr.. johnson land
in its stead utter useless. Mr..
Johnson, through his attorneys,
brought an action to quiet his title
to the land in controversy. 1t was
tried before Judge Price at the last
spring term of the district court in
this county, and his decision was
in favor of Mr.. Hurst. Mr.. John
son promptly appealed the case to
the supreme court, where it was
argued three or four weeks ago.
The decision OF the supreme court
handed down last Wednesday re-
verses the decision of Judge Price
md orders judgment in favor of
Mr.. johnson. The decision of the
supreme court is in part as follows:
''In this case the government by
is patent has granted all its title
o the five lots of fractional sub
divisions in question to plaintiffs
srantor and by that patent, which
efers to the official plat in aid of
he description contained in the
,atent and from an inspection OF ,

laims Of the plaintiff On the

Curious Experiments Conducted By

 Dr. E. c. London of St. Petersburg, whose early experiments with Eadium ara well known. tells this story:
 A solution of radium bromide was nIaced in a retort connected by tubing with another glass vessel, both of them heinz stoppered. Tn the second reser- voir he kept live animals, generally frogs or mice, which were preserved from suffocation during the experiments bv means of the periodical admission oS fresh air. It was found that frogs nIaced in a vessel with water in which radium emanatlons were diffused be- came fabby and dull; in six or seven days their breathing became troubled and their skin showed want of fresh ness. These symptoms became more and more accentuated up to the thir- teenth or fourteenth day. when the an- imals died. Flakes from their skin foated in the water. On being taken out their skin was found partially to be decomposed and the blood was ab- normally dark In color. Moreover, from the first day of contact with the radlum emanations the frogs became radio-act- i've Mice died sooner than frogs; af- fer being left for four hours in the vessel where radium carnations had accumulated for forty-eight hours pre- viouslv they sickened and died on the third day, although showing no signs of illness previously. Dr. London sup noses that they died from an affection of the air passages induced by the ac- tion of the radium.

CIDER AS A BEAUTIFIER.
Gives a Pretty Complexion and Makes
 Bright Eyes.


 Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Fermented cider Is one of the best natural aids to a good complexion. Moreover, it is SO generally beneticial to the system that it brightens the eyes and makes the face and body healthfully vivacious.
 1t has medical properties. for the acnd of the cider acts at once upon the liver. and there is nothing better than natural acids for urging this organ 10 do its work. Many sallow. unhealthy looking skins are due to slow acting flyers. and frequently to change the complexion one must apply the remedy to this most important part Of the oi- pestive tract rather than to the face.
 If A person cares for beverages at all. then no cure Is easier to take. Last winter 1t was quite the smart thing In England to drink cider in place or wine, and the French hold that Is the msot healthful of all drinks.

When the kidneys are sick there is always a warming to tell you of 1t, and when the kidneys call for help there Is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-cause more deaths every year than any other human ills. But in nine cases out of ten this is due to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily contracted. but just as easily cured when treated properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles are colds, levers, exposure, strains On the back, blood-poisionins diseases, and in- dulRence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood filters. and when they become sick the blood is soon laden with impurities. which the kidneys have failed to rSmoVe. This rauses backache. stiT. lame. and sore muscles, aching joints. spells of dizEi- ness. headaches. rheumatic pains. sleep lessness, nervousness, and languor, weak heart and many other bodily aches and ills.
 Meanwhile the kidneys are fast breaking down. and from this cause the urine becomes discolored and full of sandy sediment; passages are too fre- uuent and often painful.
 Uric acid crystallizes and causes gravel and kidney stones The bladder cannot perform It's natural duties. Water which should pass off in the

 The final outcome is either dreaded diabetes or fatal Bright's Disease Nothing can cure the sufferer at any stage except a medicine that cures the kidneys.
 There is one remedy which never fails to cure sick kidneys-Doan's Kid ney Pills. This specific helps the kid neys to take out all the kidney poisons. Its effects are lasting. Hundreds of cures have been made by DOan's Kidney Pills in this city. and many graceful people testify. Here's one home case MONTGOMERY PROOF.

 The man leaned forward and heldhfs hand to the fire, as though conscious of sudden chilliness.
 'Reminds me of a discussion over- heard on the car coming up. Seems that the crime was committed several years ago. but there is still a doubt as to whether 1t really was a crime." "Oh, there is generally a doubt. don't you know? Plenty of innocent men die on the gallows."
 He took no notice of the comment.
 But it was a peculiar case.

 Well" he said, slowly, "he is not in prison new. He has been pardoned for s- 'Laurie!"
 When the midnight chimes rang out in welcome to the merry morn, the man spoke softly with his check against her hair:
 "Just think, dear, if you had not come out on the porch I would be a hundred miles from shore. We would have gone on till death heaping up silver as dust"
 Hear the bells!' she said, happily. And while they listened, hand clasped in hand as though in prophecy of what life still held for them, the Christmas bells told again their news of great joy and glad tidings."
