ment Charging the Milwaukee
Man with Stealing.

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 26.-The suit
Of Charles F. Pfster against the Wis
consin Rendering company to recover
about $4,000 held by the First Ma
tional bank as a claim against the
company for money loaned has been
settled. Judge Ludwig, in the circuit
court. dismissed the case upon stipu-
lation by both sides. Pfister bought
the claim of the bank after he had
been indicted by the grand jury. which
practically charged him with stealing
$4,000 from the company. In meas
ure the settlement takes from the
criminal case arising from the grand
jury Indictment its foundation.
Attorney George Lines, on behalf of
Pfster, says: This amounts to an adj
mission in the case in a most emphatic
form that neither the rendering COM
pany nor its officers make any claim
that Mr.. Pfister is indebted to them in
any amount on account of moneys for
,nerly in Mr. Pfster's hands, and for
stealing $14 900 of which money Mr..
Pfister is charged in the Indictment
recently found by the grand jury"

UNION LABEL DECISION
Firm of Hatters Enjoined from the
Use of the Label on Nom Union
Made Goods.


Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 29.-Judge
Milton A. Subway, in the superior
court, has handed down a decision in
the suit of the United Hatters of North
America against c. II. Merritt & Son,
Of Danbury, in favor Of the plaintiffs.
The hatters sued, alleging that the hrm
was getting business by counterfeiting
the union label on goods made by non,
union WOrkmen. Judge Subway or
ders an accounting by the firm with
the hatters, and issues a permanent in
junction restraining the firm from US
ing any more of the offending labels
Judge Shumway practically eXonerates
the non-union firm from any intention
to deceive or defraud.
Judge ShumWay also says there was
abundant testimony to show that some
non-union hats were of better material
and superior workmanship than those
made by union workmen. The special
defense of c. Fl. Merritt & Son that
the union label was a weapon of boy
colt the court holds has no bearing Oh
the case whether it be true or not. Ar
appeal will probably be taken by O
H. Merritt & Son.

knowledge>=is extremely lin tied.
The sweep of the telescope may
bring to the eye the faintest gllmpses
of this upper kingdom, but the God
who created and controls is still in
command and humanity may not
interfere.
1t requires more than human skill
to water a planet and cause it to
bud and blossom like the rose, and
the wind that bloweth where it
i,teth, breathing health and des-
t:oying pestilence is controlled by
hand whose power is supreme.
Many years ago some wise men de-
cided that the mechanism of the old
world was out of order. Arid spots
appeared on the earth's surface, or
rather men appeared in arid seq
tions, where people were never ex-
pected to gain livelihood as t1llers
of the soil.
They said the Creator has made a
mistake and forgotten to water this
desolate country, and after prolong-
ell fasting and prayer they decided
to take matters into their own
hands, and so company of rain
makers was organized and the
government was induced to lend a
hand.
Proceedings were watched with a
good deal of interest, but the &C.
serts are still arid, except where re-
deemed by irrigation.
The best ass istance which human
ity can render to an All Wise Creator
is to faithfully work out a destiny
in the field occupied.
The movements of planets, The
song of the wind and the buster of
the storm belong to the realm of
limitation where the hand of human
ity may not interfere, but the every
day work of life, be it ever so
humble, is of supreme Importance
and it will never be done except by
human hands and brain.
The weather is all right every day
of the year and some one recently
said of it:
You may find all the fault with the
weather you will,
But the weather will keep up it's
vagaries still;
And so what's the use for to fume
and to sigh
Let the weather alone and get busy,
say I,
And you will be happy as birds by
and by,
And that's no lie.

yARDAMAN AFTER DOCTORS
Said He Would Prosecute Those Who
Suppressed Fever Facts.

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-UnuSual in
terest attaches to the developments in
connection with the discovery of the
fever at Gulfport Miss. Governor
Vardaman some time ago issued a
proclamation in which he announced
that there would be proceedings
against doctors in Mississippi who
suppressed the existence Of yellow
fever there. The case of Mrs. Collins,
which resulted in the acknowledgment
by Gulfport of infection there, is taken
to indicate that yellow fever was
present at Gulfport some weeks ago.
Mrs. Collins reached here from Gulf
port Monday evening, Aug. q. She
was taken i'll on the train on her way
over.
She says that at Gulfport she moved
in house close to one in which two
young men were i'll, and that she had
noticed four or five doctors visiting
the house, leading her to believe that
a consultation was in progress. Sub
sequently it was announced that the
sickness was malaria. DR.. Wasdin
was ordered to investigate. The re-
suit was the turning up Of three cases
Of yellow fever in the territory in
which Mrs. Collins lived. This looks
like a case that would come under
Governor Vardaman's proclamation.
The fever report here up to p. m.
yesterday is as follows: New cases,
40; total to date, 1,789; deaths yester-
day, 5; total deaths, 900; remaining
under treatment, 181. Monday always
shows an increase over Sunday in the
number Of new cases because Sunday
is good deal of holiday for the in
speeding force and only the doctors
are to be depended on, but the foregoing
total is regarded as confirming the
opinions expressed week ago that
there is little further chance that the
disease will get away from those who
are fighting it SO stubbornly.

by quartet from Fennimore. Howard
Rhodes, the undertaken Of Lancaster, in
his efficient manner gave the friends an
opportunity to view the remains after
which the casket was again entirely
covered with the beautiful white
flowers and prepared to take another
journey of four miles to the cemetery
where the husband and father had
been laid years ago.
On the way from Mt. Hope there
came up terrible storm so all the

farm yard and seek shelter. All the
horses we're unhitched and sheltered.
also the hearse was backed into a con-
venient shed. After the storm abated we
again started on our solemn way to the
burying-eround. 1t was very wet and
muddy. Here the Rebecca Sisters gave
their impressive ceremony and their
handsome floral pillow was retained
and afterwards placed upon the new
made grave. Here we parted at about
4:30 p. M, some of us for long muddy
drive. NETTIE A. FINNEY,
