Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
Ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles of the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
Only invigorating and nerve strength
ening effects can follow the use of this
famous medicine for women. It can
not possibly do harm in any state or
condition of the system. It has been
carefully adapted to woman's needs by

great room for different concluhions.
The court submitted TO the jury the
following questions and they were
answered as indicated:
l.. Was the sum of seventy-five hun
dred dollars $4,000 mentioned in the
deed and referred to in the complaint
and answer herein, far below the ac-
tual value OF the plantation describ-
ed In said deed at the time Of the ex-
ecution thereof Yes.
Q. Was said price grossly inadequate
Yes.
3. What was the tract Of land de-
scribed In the complaint reasonably
worth at the time Of the execution Of
said deed? Fifteen thousand dollars.
4. Was Mrs. Sarah Tindal so enfee-
bled by old age and physical infirmi-
ties that she did not have mental ca
pacity sufficient to understand what
she was doing at the time she execut-
ed said deed? Yes.
s. Did the defendants exercise un.
due influence on Mrs. Sarah TiHdal,
and did they thereby obtain the ex-
scution and delivery OF said deed? ?
Yes NV

the plaintiffs won. and II this verdict

also be an accounting for rents, pro-

says the Cheyenne Tribune.
The above words are not very strik-

significant in several directions when
it is added that Lone Bear is an
Arapahoe chief; that he is the head
of what is probably the richest In
dian family on the American contl-

one of his red sons into the position

That the people of the west are

Railroad company to disgorge its i'm

lowing review of the subject from

in lawsuits upon the chance of fore
ing the Southern Pacific to disgorge
lands so long withheld from settle
