RECORD OF COURTS

Yesterday was the busiest day of the week in the courts Several suits of more or less interest were filed in the city court and the circuit and chancery branches were engaged in hearings on various matters pretty well all day. It was sentence day in the criminal divisions and proper punishment was meted out to several convicted transgressors.
 The Mutual Aid association of this city, filed answer in the circuit court yes terday to the quo warranto proceedings recently brought against the concern by the Attorney General, seeking to annul its charter and prevent it from trans acting business in this state.
 The answer denies all the damaging allegations and suggestions in the com plaint of the Attorney General and de- clares it's business methods to be reg ular and proper and it's financial condi- ton to be sound and prosperous.

 The answer of the defendant company declares that it is the oldest concern of it's kind in the south, having been III DuSlneBS TOT SlXLteIl yedlSt anu lAdl its volume of business has steaL.ly in- creased during that period and has re- gently grown faster than ever before
 The answer denies the charge of fraud on the part of the Attorney General in connection with certain bonds claimed by the association but alleged to be in fact the property of C. P. Orr, and only held by the defendant company as a loan. The report of the insurance commissioner and his deputy is attached to the answer to establish this contention.
 The charge of insolvency and misman- agement are both denied It declares that the management is sound. that business Is increasing steadily and that under the management and direction of c. P. Orr the business of the concern has almost doubled.

GROWING BARN.

An esteemed correspondent, writing
from Danville, KY, tells of novel
industry which will probably soon
spread as far as Billville Dan Cav
ley, farmer in the Carol Hill neigh
borhood, has a barn which is growing
rapidly The structure, which is a
capacious affair, was built several
years ago. Willow posts were used on
the end and along the sides. Being
a moist and virgil soil. the posts
took root and the entire structure
has nourished like a green bay tree.
1t assembled nine feet in he first
three years, and Mr.. Cawley was COM
PEELED to lay a second floor. using the
first as a loft. The second floor is
now too elevated for use and next year
a third floor will be added. The in
novation has proved very advantage

Horrors Of Close shaxss.

A New York barber has on a corner
table a fine pocket microscope and a
framed announcement that says:
do you know what close shave
means? Bring a friend here, If you
want to have him shaved close, and then
look at his face through this micros-
cope. The entire skin viii resemble
g piece Of raw beef.
ITO shave the face perfectly smooth
requires not only the removal of the
hair. but also of portion of the cut
icle; so that a close shave means the
removal of layer of skin all round.
The blood vessels thus exposed are not
visible to the eye. but under the mi
croscope each little quivering mouth,
holding minute blood drop, protests
against such treatment. Bring a
friend and see.
The nerve tips are also uncovered
by close shaves, and the pores are left
unprotected, which makes the skin
tender and unhealthy. This sudden ex-
posture OF the inner layer of the skin
renders a person liable to colds,
hoarseness and sore throat"

RULLFRoG TRADE is
BIG AT TULLAHOMA.

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, Aug. 31.-The
bullfrog shipments from this depot
each week are a source of much in
terest and amusement to the passen-
gers while waiting for the trains.
Thursday there was an unusually
large number of the amphibians sent
to Nashville. This frog business is
very numerative to the hunters, and
the process of catching the hoppers
is not only exciting, but very inter-
esting. The hunter dons a pair of
rubber boots and supplies himself
with a powerful dark lantern. The
grounds where the frogs are taken lie
about five miles southwest of town in
a very swampy section, where there
are a number of small ponds. The
hunting is done at night only. The
hunter takes his dark lantern, seeks
the marshes and boys. The strong
light from the lantern is flashed upon
his frogship, who is made blind by
the light, and paralyzed from fright,
is an easy victim. The frogs bring
25 cents each. the larger and finer ones
bringing as much as so cents. The
Tullahoma frogs are getting quite
reputation for their fine quality and
are in much demand.

Later in the days additional details

ed. He was taken into custody while
in the British postofice in Tangier. He
had alighted but short time before
from the German tramp steamer Old
enburg and came to the postoffice to
direct the forwarding of his mail under
the name of Paul Olsen to Mogador,

gier, As he entered the postofice he
was recognized by Assistant States
Attorney Olsen, who at once placed
him under arrest.
Just before noon, States Attorney
Healy received the following message
from Assistant States Attorney Oh
sen at Tangier:
What is delay in State Department?
Imperative that they cable instruc-
tions Immediately through Minister at
Tangier."
Assistant States Attorney Barbour

that extradition papers should be pre-
pared at once, promising to forward
them at once to Washington. Mr.. Bar
bour then sent the the following mes
sage to the State Department at Wash
ington, signing the name of States At

Stensland had many friends among
women of this city on whom he was &C
customed to spend much money, and |
one of these, feeling that she had not |
been treated with due consideration,
came to the Tribune few days after |
his flight with information regarding
the direction in which he had gone. |
This information was somewhat indef-
mite, but investigation proved its
probable accuracy.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed YOU have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
