D vs.. HELM 1T AL.
A Long Litigation Ends F~sysrably
to the Helm Children. By Which
Valuable Lands VIII be
Restored 10 Them.

Word was received hers Thursday
that the Supreme Court Of Tie state
had rendered a decision reversing the
Judgment OF the Circuit Court 10 the
case OF Thomas r. den rs Thomas
Helm. ct al.
Many years ago Thomas Helm
placed his property, consisting of two
hundred and forty acres q land, 5
miles north and a residence in aesico
in the hands OF A. G. Turner as trus,
tee, for tie use and benefit Il himself
and family, thereby intending to pro-
tect his family against an, MS 81 the
property.
la Is9s Thomas Helm, nv deceased,
executed a mortgage upou these lands
10 which his trustee was not a party.

bred and ffty dollars
In March 1899 the Circuit Court or
dered a foreclosure u this mortgage
and q sale OF the land The laod was
sold at sherlG's sale, bought 10 bg
Mr.. Roden and by bin transferred TO
W. A. Edmondston. Edmondston
then brought suit for the possession
of the land and was successful in the
Circuit Court and in the Supreme
Court. Ia the meantime a writ of
error was prosecuted to the Supreme
Court which Is the case Of Roden vs..
Helm and the validity OF the original
Judgement of foreclosure entered In
1899 was attacked. At first the Su-
preme Court upheld this Judgment
but after a reheafing and two years
consideration that court reversed its
former opinion and set aside the judg-
ment OF foreclosure, holding that this
Judgment OF foreclosure was erroneous
ly entered because it undertook 70 sell
the entire interest In the land when
there were Others who held an interest
who had not signed the mortgage.
The sum and substance OF the whole
case now is that the Judgment on the
mortgage under which the land was
sold is set aside, leaving the title 10

by Mr.. Helm when be made Turner

The sheriffis deeds under which Ed

deed Of trust created upon the land
by Thomas Helm in his life time.
This debt is quite Insignificant, com

 LOUIS NATIONAL LEAGUE CLUB. It's all very well for those who have the leading teams, but in each league there are losers. I'll venture that not more than three clubs in either league are making money, and with perhaps one exception.
 The profits of the season are not what they would be were the same amount of money invested In ordinary lines of business. Jim Hart told me that in the sixteen years he had been at the head of the Chicago club that corporation has never declared a divi- dend. Some years they made money. but they had to put it right back into the club, improving the plant and get ting new players.
 ''In a twelve club league the percent age of losing clubs would be less, as there should not be more than four weak clubs in such an organization.
 Twelve good teams could be formed from the pick of the talent in both leagues. Then, again, the game would pay better with only one club in a city. New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston and Chicago and Gin cinnati, Pittsburg, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington and Brooklyn would fill the circuit with the addition of a club in either Buffalo or Louisville. Colum- bus would pay in a major league now. I thiHk, and it is conveniently sit uated
 ''The work of appraising the plants to be abandoned and the adjusting of consolidation prices could be accom- plished in a week. In St. Louis both the major league teams are drawing about equal, but the crowds there are not large. You must have a winner to draw the big crowds. I don't know whether consolidation will come next winter or not, but by the winter of 1908 I think 1t surely will"

with the right kind of training she would be worthy rival to some of the best men athletes of the present day"
 This is the verdict of celebrated Mike Murphy, Yale's former athletic trainer. regarding Miss Helen Isabella Buck. daughter of NJ E. Buck, for mer superintendent of schools of Man chester. N II. She Is a well built girl and stauds today as the athletic pre- miere of the world.
 In the games at Mount Holyoke col lege, at South Hadley, Mass. where she was graduated this year, she won four out of six events and hung up a new record of winning twenty four out of possible thirty points.
 Miss Buck isn't bit mannish. She doesn't wear spectacles or affect mas culine attire. In fact she is just one of these American girls that set mans heart beating a tritle faster when they come into view. Her hair is becomingly arranged. her dress is all fuffs and frills, her little feet are shod in the daintiest of shoes, and her tiny white hands show no signs of hard work.
 Yet this same girl holds the record for putting the shot 32 feet 3 inches, which would put to shame the average man, and she can throw the baseball how many women can-157 feet 9 inches. and there are few men who can do it.
 And now she has made monkeys out of the men who are the athletic idols of their respective universities in the way of scholarship and intellectual en- deavor.
 While Miss Buck has taken course of physical training at Mount HOlyoke. it has been nothing out of the ordinary It was the same that all the girls have taken-the regular course of prescrib- ed physical culture. The secret of her success was really due to her thorough training by methods which she orig mated herself
 The day of the athletic meet of the Mount HolyOke college girls was the great event of the fast closing col legiate year.
 There were six events on the pro gramme-the fifty yard dash, the sev- enty-hve yard dash, the running broad jump. putting the shot. throwing the baseball and the hurdles The total points were 4S-j for first, for second and l for third. Of these no single could make more than thir- ty by winning all six irsts.
 And Miss Buck got twenty-four,
 In a word. she scored something in all six events, winning four of them, getting second in another and third in
