CITY SURGEON DEMANDS
DAMAGES IN NOTE SUIT
DIR. j. /. Stephens Answers Action
Brought Against Him to Collect
Life Insurance Premium.

DR.. j. I. Stephens, chief surgeon of
the Health Department. yesterday
filed an answer and cross-complaint to
the suit of T. ]. Ryan to collect
s592 80 on a note. The doctor de-
mands $4,000 damages, $3.50 attorneys
fees and the return of the note. DR..
Stephens sought the position of medi-
cal examiner for California for the
State Life Insurance Company of In
diana, represented here by c. A. Maui
The position was promised, he alleges,
by Mau, who said that the doctor
would have to take out policy in the
company.
DIR. Stephens applied for the policy
and gave his note for the premium.
He then learned, he says, that Mau
could not give him the appointment
which would have to come from the
head office. Thereupon the surgeon
promptly repudiated his application
for the policy and declined to pay the
note.

Breuner Company Wins.

The verdict of the jury, rendered
Friday evening in the case of the John
Breuner Company against Sara l..
King, former proprietress of the Had
don Hall apartment-house, for the
foreclosure of an $1S,500 mortgage,
was opened yesterday. The ISSUES
submitted were all found in the plain
tiff's favor. The jury holds that the
company made representations to
Miss King that the business of Had
don Hall had been conducted at a
large profit and that the representa-
tions were true; that the company
had represented that If all the apart
ments were occupied the house would
yield 5000 a month profit and that
this statement was supported by the
evidence. If the statements had been
untrue it is found that they were not
made with the intent to defraud.

Samuel Lisanti, fruit and vegeta-
BILE peddler residing at 21 Lafayette
place, was almost instantly killed yes
terday forenoon at Taylor and Bush
streets by fire engine No. 3S. The acci-
dent which caused Lisantis death was

Driver w. p. Conlon had headed up
the steep grade on Taylor street from
Bush to Pine.
Under the rules of the department

while on exercise duty. When Conlon
was about to make the turn at Bush
street Lisanti's wagon was noticed
standing on the north side Of the
street in the center of the crossing.
Conlon shouted for the peddler to get
out of the way, but Lisanti lost his
head and got in front of the engine

wagon and the engine. One of the
backing bars of the engine struck him
on the breast. He was taken to the

ADVERTISEMENTS.

$1,000 for disease germ that it can
not kill The reason is that germs
are vegetables; and Liauozone-like
an excess of oxygen-is deadly to
vegetal matter.
There lies the great value of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without killing
the tissues. too. Any drug that kills
germs is a poison, and it cannot be
taken internally. Medicine is almost
helpless in any germ disease. 1t is
this fact that gives Liquozone its
worth to humanity. And that worth is
so great that, after testing the prod
uct for two years, through physicians
and hospitals, we paid 100000 for the

It is hoped that the crew abandoned
the vessel when the fog closed in. and
II they did SO they may have landed

likely. Immense waves are breaking
over the boat, and she can hardly

The foolhGrdiness of the captain In

generally condemned by the life savers

Failure " the Worst Came
to the Worst.

Portland, Dec. 27.--Never before In
the history OF the Pacific northwest
were the faremrs in such excellent
financial condition. say those who have
watched the yields and prices for the
past eight years. ''If poor crops should
come next season." an authority said
today. they would find the farmers
ready to meet them, and most would
be able to pass through the seasoi
without again resorting to those mort
cages which were found on every farm
less than decade ago"
With almost decade Of continued
agricultural prosperity, while good
prices reigned and opportunity to save
money presented itself. farmers of the
Pacific northwest today find themselves
free from debt and In almost every
case with neat bank account, saved
against rainy day." Should season
of poor crops come now, It is claimed
the country, especially the west, was
never In better condition to meet and
overcome 1t without distress.
Not since the defeat Of Bryan by Nc
Kinley In 1896 has there been pro-
nounced crop failure Climatic condi-
tions and the republican party seem
to go hand in hand" said campaign
orator recently, and while It is recog-
nized by all that mere worldly politics
can have nothing to do with crops and
the weather. 1t is a recognized fact that
farmers date the beginning of agricul-
tural excellence from the time Bryan
was defeated the first time"
From all directors of the northwest
come reports of excellent financial con-
ditions, due in the main to bumper
farm yields. In the early sO's things

selves. Crops were scanty, prices We're
