Mr.. Mccullough said he only re-
membered the one sentence.
Commissioner William d. Voorhees,
then took the stand, and told of a
number of early transaction of the
board in reference to laying mains,
quoting from the minutes for proof
Of his statements.
"The trouble was mostly with Mr..
Fountain and II. II. Brown, the road
superintendent, who is a relative of
Mr.. Fountains" said Mr.. Voorhees,
in reply to a question from Judge
Lyon.
Commissioner Voorhees, also ceri-
fled Mr.. McCullough's statement
about Mr.. Fountain wanting $4,000
for the privilege of laying the main,
which was finally laid after paying
Mrs. Fournatt $4OO as stated by Mr..
Mccullough.
1--WE also had trouble with Madi-
son township in laying pipes across a
certain road, which we finally laid,"
he said.
Mr.. Lyons offered papers as evil
dence of an injunction that was filed
against the board at the time, bill
and restraining order were also
shown, which Judge Lyon requested
be placed on record if the present
case is discontinued.
''Did you ever have any conversa-
tion about the assessment of the
city's land at Runyon with Mr. Foun-
tain?"
81 did," said Mr.. voorhees,, "about
a week previous to the purchase of
the land. Mr.. Fountain wanted us
to agree to haYe the land assessed at
$25, 200 and have it stand for twelve
or fourteen years, according to the in
fluence of the board. Mr.. Fountain
said the township had suit against
the city for back taxes and if the suit
was instituted the city would proba-
bly, have to pay at least three times
the amount. Mr. Fountain said he
had influence with the assessors and
could fix it with them, as they were
friends of his, and if any objections
were made by the people he would
tell them it was too late to fix mat
tiers now"
The record OF Edward Barker, tax
collector of Madison township, was
offered in evidence by Judge Lyon.
Mr. voorhees,, in reply to question,
said that no condemnation proceed
ings were ever taken in regard to the
Fountain tract, although other lands
had been condemned.
Mr.. Voorhees, repeated a converse
tion with President Convery in re-
gard to the Fountain land the day
previous to the purchase, which was
as follows:
"Are you going to Runyon tomor-
row." asked Mr.. Convery.
81 don't know" said Mr. voorhees,.
''Oh, come over and help out the
board,' said the president.
"Well, what do you think about
the purchase, Mr.. Convery?" asked
Mr. Voorhees,.
well, I don't know. ] wouldn't
pay any more than we paid for his
other land; in fact, | wouldn't give
him more than 81, 600 for the tract,
was the reply.
'This was all the conversation that
took place." said Mr. Voorhees,.
Cross Examination.
Mr. Voorhees, was asked for more
in regard to-his statement about the
land Mr.. Voorhees, was asked II he
took part in the discussion on the day
of the sale.
''You and your board were trying
to get the land as cheap as possible,
we're you not?" asked Counsel VIII

HOW MANY OF US?
Fail to Select Food Nature Demanus
to Ward OF Ailments.

Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: 81 was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After | had run down seriously my
attention was called to the necessity
OF some change in my diet, and dis
continued my ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with good
quantity of rich cream.
In few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have strength that had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and poise OF mind
that amazed me. 1t was entirely new
in my experience.
MY former attacks OF indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing, with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast | have been free from these
troubles, except at times when have
indulged in rich. greasy foods in
quantity, then would be warned by
a pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless | needed the warning the
old trouble would come back. but
when | anally got to know where
these troubles originated returned
to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly.

When Woman Isn't Young.

The report is that local religious
Institution which is for young wom-
en-" has drawn the deadline of youth
at 35. Every woman over that age
will be marked 90 and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. 1t is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu.
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that woman is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most WON.
en- look like go and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems good one. 1t is a plain, un-
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.

TRUTH WAS OUT OF PLACE
lnsane Man Sure It Was Not Wanted
In Paris Law Courts,

The Paris law courts witnessed a
strange spectacle yesterday evering.
One of the officials, after the days
business was over, was astounded to
see approaching him in a corridor, a
man who was qnite naked, and who
carried his clothing under his arm.
Il am TRUTH" explained the appari-
ton, "as you see by my costume. 1
understand that truth is sought in
the Dreyfus case. Will you take me
to the Court of Cessation" The Of
fclal was about to lead him to the
chief of police office, when the man
exclaimed, You cannot deceive Truth.
The name of the police office is writ
ten over the door. All! Truth is not
wanted here" he cried, and was in
the act of fiinging himself through a
window, when the official caught him
by the left leg, as somebody once
caught Old Harry Longlegs, who
would not say his prayers. Then the
official gave himself up to the spirit
of his visitant's madness, offered to
show him the court, but took him in
stead down staircase to the stores
department, where he was cared for
till the police arrived.-London Globe.

California RECOVERING,

California bank deposits amount to
$540,000,0O0 and the banks in which
they are held are credited with assets
of $693, 100000. The loss suffered by
San Francisco. by the earthquake and
fire, was unequaled by any similar ca
tastrophe N the history of the world,
but despite its magnitude, some of
its appalling force is lost in the con-
temptation of the financial showing
made by the entire state. There is
great promise of large crops of grain
and fruits, the mines and oil wells
are turning out new wealth more rap
idly than ever before, and if the in
surance companies would pay up their
losses and the striking sailors return
to work at the highest wages ever paid
for similar employment, the Bay City
would blossom l.to it's old-time splen-
dor at rate that would astonish the

EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to
the thousands of wives and mothers
who use it in their homes, for these
good women tell their neighbors about
this great food.
Children and aged persons alike
are friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are things
that advertise EGG-O-SEE most.
EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent pack
age contains ten liberal breakfasts.
EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere.
Grocers must keep it if they want
to keep their good customers, for good
customers insist on buying EGG-O-
SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking is required, makes EGG-O-
SEE very popular. Open the pack

a dish; pour on milk or cream and

Lay FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t

stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.

Peruna for this purpose. Those who

TRIUMPHED EVEN OVER DEATH
Remarkable Deed Ascribed to Aus
trian Bandit of 1880.

DR.. Loye tells the following strange
story, taken from the archives of an
Austrian police officer, and relating to
an execution said to have taken place
in Vienna in 1880: A well-known BAN
dit named Schavenburg was caught,
together with four of his associates,
and they were all condemned to
death. They were already on their
knees, ready to submit to their fate,
when Schavenburg addressed the
judge, asking that his four compan-
, ions might be ranged in single file in
front of him at distance of eight
feet from each other.
IF, he said, after am beheaded,
l get up and walk to the first of my
comrades, will you pardon him?"
The judge thought he was pretty
safe in complying with the request.
But If l walk up to the second the
third, and the fourth, will you pard on
those also?"
The judge replied that he would OBJ
tain their pardon from the emperor
The bandit was satisfied, bent his
head, received the mortal blow, and
his head rolled down; but to the great
surprise of the judge and the specta-
tors, the body got up, walked alone,
passed the first, second, third and
fourth of the condemned men, and fell
down. The occurrence was told to
the emperor, who, according to prom
ise, pardoned the four criminals.

AT the first session Smith became
famous for his ability to comfortably
carry more liquor than any other man

the second session some Philadel-

on Smith. They arranged relays, 81
that when one party had enough an
other should take hold, and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well, they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them all. The bout con-
tinued all night and all of the next
day, and when the second evening
came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.

A number of officers and descend

fashioned into homely agricultural

being a plow, took the shape of the

Stocking UP the Pen

penitentiary. When your boy
doesn't want to go to school, let
him loaf; when he gets into mis-
chief and your neighbor reports
it to you, curse him in fhe pres
ence of your boy; do not repri-
mand the boy. When he gets a
little larger and purloins some-
thing of value and you find it
out just laugh at it and let it go;
when he gets into anything that
calls aim to the justice court and
he is found guilty, pay the fine,
curse the court and jury and
everyone connected with the mat
ter, pity the boy, you will soon
have q splendid candidate for the
pen.
