IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.
hoMER n TREES SUES NEAL BROS.
FOR sass
Case GREW Out of Transaction at the
Bessemer an srrfes-Business
I'm Police Court.

In the Circuit court this Wednesday
the shit of Homer b. Trees against
Neal Bros. was taken up before jury,
and occupied the attention of the
court throughout the day. The
amount involved is $685. Trees form
erly conducted the company store at
the Bessemer ouarries, when Neal
Bros operated that plant. 1t was
alleged that partnership existed be-
tween Trees and his father. Neal
Bros. held claim against the elder
man. and when orders on the store,
which were given to workmen and
cashed at the commissary, were pre-.
sented by the younger Trees at Neal
Bros. for payment, it is charged that
the quarry people withheld 1858 to
apply on the alleged debt of the elder
Trees. The young man claims that
there was no partnership between
himself and father. and that the
money withheld by Neal Bros. was
wholly his own. The suit was there
fore instituted. 1t will probably
reach the jury room sometime this
evening.

Special Session Necessary.

SUN STROKE
SUN STROKE
Does Not Come if Ones Nervous Sys-
tenn Is Well Fed.

II must tell you how food changed
my condition. Seven years ago / had
a sun stroke and was confined to bed
10 months.
Il was in bad condition to resist the
shock at the time, as my nervous sys-
tenn had been poisoned from chronic
constipation. My nerves were shat
tered by the stroke, kidney trouble fol-
lowed, and my stomach became so
weak that everything L ate, particular
ly everything containing starch,
seemed to turn at once to gas in my
stomach, causing palpitation of the
heart and sinking spells from pressure
on that organ.
MY head was packed in rubber Ice
bags constantly for five months to re-
duce the temperature which sometimes
ran as high as 10S. The doctors frank
ly told my people that they could do
nothing for me. to be prepared for my
death at any moment.
While in this condition. helpless and
hopeless, a friend one day called my
attention to an advertisement of
Grape-Nuts food, which ne had found
in magazine, and advised me to try
it. I did so, and the effect was saIu-
tary from the beginning. I found that
I could digest Grape-Nuts and cream
without distress, and my improvement
the very first week 1 used it was so en-
couraging that I persisted, steadily
growing better till at last I was en-
tiTely recovered-nerves, heart stom-
ach, all resumed their normal tone.

peared. and l gained 80 lbs. This was

Grape-Nuts food, and that it is an
important part of each meal to ALI of
us. 1t has made of my eleven wear old

thousands OF curiosity seekers were at
tracted from across the bay yesterday
and today hundreds gazed upon the
ruins of their homes and dug through
the ashes for some treasured me-
mento.
The marines yesterday destroyed a
considerable quantity OF liquors in
that section of the city in which they
hold sway. This branch of the navy
controls and policies the best portion
of the residence district, and although
they have ruled with an iron hand
their authority has been exercised with
such good Judgment and discretion
that not a single complaint has been
made. This is in sharp contrast to the
STORM of protests and Indignation that
various arbitrary actions of the state
militia has evoked.
What between the military and the
citizens committee, the storekeepers
whose places escaped destruction claim
they do not know just where they
stand. 1t was understood Nv them that
they could open their places for bus
mess, but overlooked the fact that
only such places as had no bars at
tached would be permitted to do so.
Liquor Under the Ban.
As a result a detail of marines de-
stroyed hundreds of dollars worth of
liquors late yesterday afternoon in
prietors were given the choice of clos
ing UP again or having their valuable
stocks poured into the street. The wol X

opinion that it would be unWise for
the present to experiment with the
electric line. He compared the UNI
burned portion of the city to a lot of
kindling wood standing on end, and
said that since we have saved that
much of the city we should do moth
ing which might endanger it now.
SchusSIer described the manner in
which the city's system of reservoirs
had been practically destroyed and
told how the few million gallons of wa
ter that are now coming to the city
were procured only after the greatest
effort. He stated that the pipe from
Crystal lakes, seventeen miles in
length, was intact, except for some 5000
feet and everything possible was be-

was one of the important factors in
the restoration of business in the city.
Some means of transportation must be
afforded 10 WOThllSnlel DeIOIe lleT
actual services would be of the great

deal of the unrest in the city was due
to the inability of the people to find
their relatives and friends and they
could not do this unless they had some
better means Of getting about in their
search.
Colonel Heur spoke briefly along the
same general lines as Chief Engineer
Schussler. The veteran army engineer
did not believe that it would be safe
at the present moment to start the cleo
trio car system
Horse Power Suggested.
1t was asked at this point whether
the use of electric power was absolute
lv essential. A member of the COM
mittee suggested that horse power
might be sufficient under the present
condition Manager Mutually said that
they had no horse cars that would
work on the present gause and further
that they had not the necessary horses.
Give US the cars and we will get
the horses" interposed Z. H Harri-
