Avoca, Feb. pa hiss, which was
uttered by Richard Paustian in the
crowded court room Saturday night,
while the Eggers VS.. Eggers divorce
fort to locate the guilty party and the
quick operation of justice, formed a
series of the most remarkable events
in local history. Judge Wheeler stated
that in his experience 1t is the first
time such a thing has happened during
the trial of case.
Hans Eggers the defendant, was on
the stand, and just as he had respond
ed to question a pronounced hiss fell
upon the air. Judge Wheeler fmVnedi-
atey stopped proceedings and inquired
as to who had been guilty Of such an inn
propriety. No one volunteered informa-
ton and r.he judge put the case In a
stronger light, stating that he thought
there should be some citizen In the
audience sufficiently interested in law
abiding principles to name the Offend
err This appeal brought no response,
and after administering lecture on
general court proprieties, Judge
Wheeler proceeded with the case, clos
ing with the suggestion that he still
hoped someone might come to him in
private and give the desired informa-
ton.
After the adjournment Of court
Judge wheeler's suggestion bore fruit
and he was informed that Paustian
was the guilty man. The judge filed
an information and warrant was is
sued, which was placed in the hands Of
Deputy Sheriff Grace, who caused the
offender to be brought before him.
Paustian would not at first admit his
guilt, but deliberation on the matter
caused him to make a complete ac-
knowledgement, and he was sentenced
to pay fine of s25 and spend day in
Jail.

What Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for other woman who are in poor
health and ailing.
Its benefits begin when its use begins.
It gives strength and vigor from the
start, and surely makes sick women
well and robust.
Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's vege-
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures Of
woman's ills. This fact is attested to
by the thousands of letters from CRATE
full women which are on file in the
Pinkham laboratory.
Women should remember that cure
for all female diseases actually exists,
and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
If you have symptoms you don't
understand write to Mrs. Pinkham,

Emerson, Feb. 26.-W. NJ. Eaton,

somewhat. The water is frozen in

twelve inches deep, two feet wide and
three feet long. They rest on planks
in order that the cold air may circulate
freely on all four sides of the pans
The cakes of ice secured from the pans
weigh a trif1e over 800 pounds. The
original cost for the pans alone was
$500.
The plan Is a simple one, but in a
mild winter like the present, not en-
tirely successful, although Mr.. Eaton
has succeeded in storing away from his
process, a total OF ninety tons at a cost
of about 80 cents per ton. With the
pans in place, the owner places about
three inches of water in them. This is
added to from time to time or as it
congeals. To completely fill the pans
Mr.. Eaton discovered from experience
subjected them to danger of bursting

CLAIM AMOUNT is EXCESSIVE

For $4,000, as Payment For Injuries
Which Caused Loss Of Ono Leg-At-

Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Feb. 26.-Judge
Thornell, who listened to arguments
Saturday in case wherein the largest
verdict ever awarded a plaintiff in
Iowa for personal damages, was Civ
en-, is reviewing the matter on mo-
ton of the defendants to have the YER
dict set aside as confiscatory and UNI
warranted.
The amount awarded in the case was
1922, 900 and was the verdict in suit
brought by Lon Rush against the Great
Western Railroad company. The case
was tried to a jury in Harlan last
September.
Three years ago Rush was an engin-
eer on a construction train while the
Great Western was building its line
into Council Bluffs. He was backing
his train from here to Minden, when
the track gave way and the engine was
turned over and upon him. For two
hours Rush lay under the engine while
scalding water and oil poured down
over him. One leg was crushed and
had to be amputated. He brought
suit for $4,000 damages.
In their motion for new trial and
that the verdict be set aside as Excess
sive, attorneys for the Great Western
have raised the point that when rail-
road is in process of construction ii
cannot guarantee the condition of Its
tracks nor the safety of it's employees
Admitting that it is ordinarily bound
/ to safeguard them against accident
the railroad attorneys contend that
during the period of construction en-
ployes must, in the nature Of things
carry their own risk.
