Effect OF Cioarets.

Disclosures made by British army
officer relative to the unfitness for
duty OF officers and men addicted to
the immoderate use of cigarets sim
ply confirm general knowledge on that
subject. Destructive of nerve" as
well as extremely irritating the
nerves, cigaret smoking is a habit
that is fully destructive of all those
characteristics required of good
soldier. Nor can it be said to be less
fatal to the success of that soldier
who fights the battle of business or
the profession. In the competition of

success who abstains from the harm

Blackstone Shown Lin

"Your honor" said Norman Pruiett,
the criminal lawyer, "since reports
and modern law are not sufficient to
convince you, let me read this section
from Blackstone, the father Of the
common law, and undoubted authority.
He supports my contention precisely
You had as well sit down, Mr..
Pruiett; / have decided the point
against YOU" replied the court 'You
need not cite more cases, l have over
ruled your demurrer, and do not care
TO hear you read the section"
Il know you have, your honor, |
know you have" sarcastically said
the redoubtable lawyer. 81 know 1t,

SANTA FEE SETTLES WITH WIDOW
Mrs. Emma sewen Receives $4,000 for
Death of Her Husband

Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. -6.-Attor-
ney Arthur M. Jackson has received
word that the A, T. & S. F.. Railway
company has decided to settle the case
brought against it about three years
ago by Mrs. Emma Sewell in the court
of common pleas, in Kansas City,
Kan, for the death of her husband, J..
d. Sewell, who was Wells-Fargo ex-
press messenger. The widow will re-
ceive $4,000 in settlement. having
sued for $4,000.
The case was of unusual Importance
because of the law points involved in
it, Sewell had signed contract with
the express company, at the time he
became a messenger in which he
agreed to relieve both the express
company and railroad company from
liability in case of injury or death.
On July %, 1904, his train was de-
rallied near Kinsley, Kan, and he was
killed Mrs. Sewell brought suit and
the railroad claimed it could not be
held liable for damages because of the
contract The defendant won and the
widow appealed to the supreme court
of Kansas. That court held that she
could not recover at the first hearing
but her attorneys secured a rehearing
before the supreme court and it then
held that the contract signed by her
husband was not legal in Kansas and
did not affect her rights.
The railroad company then appeal
ed to the supreme court of the United
States, where the case was pending
when the railroad decided to settle the
suit. Sewell formerly lived near Ton
ganoxie in this county.
