BY far the most interesting civil
trial of the term was that of William

a young physician residing at Lineville.
The plaintiff, Marion township farmer
charged malpractice in setting dislo-
Gated shoulder blade and asked $4,000
damages against the doctor. The court
room Wednesday was much like the
private Office of a busy physician. A
human skeleton hung from the rack
before the jury, medical phrases we're
uttered by the doctors, who were wit
nesses, and handled quite recklessly by
the lawyers. Huge black covered
doctor books were frequently referred
to. Many Of the leading physicians of
this section were introduced as wit
nesses. Judges Fl. G. Orion, l.. G. Orion,
Ben. f. Kesterson and +. NJ. HARDER
were the plaintiffs attorneys, and Ira
B. Hyde, Arthur NJ. Hyde and Martin
Read appeared for the defendant.
The trial of the case occupied two

awarded Mr.. Hartley damages in the
sum Of $500. DR.. Calbreath promptly

The professor is clearly right. The
wives are as deeply interested in the
success of corn growing as their
husbands; in fact there is nothing in
which one of them in common may be
legitimately and properly interested, in
which the other should not be equally
SO. We hope when Prof. Holden greets

no reason to criticize the absence of

for the social welfare of a community
than good Chautauqua and if Garden

it. We feel confident that the other
