1t is not often that a jury instead of
handing in a verdict hands out a law
suit, yet j. T. Argyle, foreman of the
jury which sat on the case of Hobbs
and Rise versus Campbell, certainly
gave the defendants in the case a
chance to contest the verdict, for, in
filling out the verdict blank, one
amount appears one place and another
another place.
The jury brought in it's verdict in
the superior court yesterday. 1t didn't
take the attorneys in the case long to
file a motion for new trial on the
grounds that the verdict was uninteli-
gible, and that the proceedings of the
jury were irregular. The motion was
presented at the county clerks desk
this morning.

At the special session of the BARRIERS
uion last night in the Central Labor
hall il was voted to declare the Benson
barber shop unfair and to call out the
employees on the ground that he keeps
open after the agreed hours. All the
employees who refuse to leave will be
put out of the union and fine levied
against them. A heavy fine will also
be placed against the Benson shop, so
that should the proprietor again want
to affiliate himself with the union
employees he will be compelled to first
pay into the treasury of the union a
snug sum of money.
When asked what his intentions were
this morning, Mr.. Benson became very
indignant and referred TO the matter

A mothers worries are many. She
sometimes forgets her own bodily dis
comforts because of her overpowering
love for the child. She becomes broken
down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and
feels tired from morning until night.
Many mothers of experience can tell you
hat at such a time they lave been re-
lieved, benefited and strengthened and
put into proper health by taking a pre-
scr!ption which their mothers had told
them was the only wonan's tonic to be
AIKEN at such times. DR.. Pierce's Fa.
vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi-
able reputation for over a third of a CEN
fury. In all that time it has sold more
largely in the United States thar any
other tonic for wonan's needs, and to-
day its sales are greater than ever. DR..
Pierce made up this prescription from
roots and herbs without the use of a
particle of alcohol or narcotic and for
the single purpose of curing those dis
eases peculiar to women and when there
is a lack of wonanly strength to bear
the burdens of maternal duty. How
few women come to this critical time
with adequate strength. The reason
why so many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because they
arc uupIePdieu. IS preparation then re-
quired for motherhood? asks the Young
woman And every experienced mother
answers-"Yes." III unhesitatingly adj
wise expectant mothers to use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription" writes Mrs. ]. w.
G. Stephens, of Mia, Va. The reason for
this advice is that DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the best preparative for
the maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong a woman may be, she
cannot use "Favorite Prescription" as a

MOVE
ON FOOT TO ESTABLISH SCHOOL
IN CENTENNIAL DISTRICT At
TOWN OF CENTENNIAL.
Interstate Townsite Company VIII
Deed Three Good Lots to District
for Building Site and Boston and
Wyoming Lumber Company Will
Give Hundred Dollars In Lumber.

A movement Is on foot to establish
| the school of this district at Centen-
nial, which, without doubt is the log
lcal and proper point Ior its permanent
location. says the Centennial Post.
For many years, the school has been
conducted at the Baily school-house
and has fulfilled Its purpose in an
adequate and satisfactory manner, but
with the changed conditions that natur-
ally come upon progressive commun-
ties 1t becomes necessary to pay at
tention to every detail looking to the
welfare and advantage Of the people
at large. That Of education Is, per-
haps, the most important matter with
which a community has to deal and the
advantages and conveniences provided
Tor educational purposes canno be too
many or too ~far-reaching.
The largest percentage Of school
children in this district live at Cen
tennial, yet, so great is the distance
and so i~nconvenient and unpleasant
are the roads to the present location
Of the school. that many of these chill
iren are compelled to remain at nome.
while those who do endeavor to attend,
Undergo many difficulties and are I'M
able to keep up a regular and constant
attendance.
Every inducement is offered for the
building INT maintenance of the school
here. The Post understands that the
Interstate Townsite company has offer
ed to deed three good lots to the dis
Irict for a building site and play
ground, while the Boston and Wyo-
ming Lumber company has signified
its intention to furnish 800 worth of
lumber towards the erection of the
school house. Many persons have vol
unteered to lend their services in var
!ous ways in building and preparing
the house n grounds, SO that the
expense necessary to remove the
school to this place Will be exceeding
ty small, a fact demanding considera-
ton in view of the fact that a major
ity of the children Of the district will
receive the benefit.
The school board will meet the first
Monday in May, when it is believed
this question will be taken up and de-
cided. Those desiring to have the
school removed to Centennial should
make an effort to attend and take part
in this meeting.
