County Court.

| OVAhtJ SVAAts
In Caledonia County court the case OF
Oliver Jenness VS.. Walter Simpson went
to the jury yesterday noon, having been
on trial all last week. This is an action
for the alienation of the affections of the
plaintiffs wife. The defendant was a
near neighbor of Mr.. and Mrs Jenness at
Sheffield. In June, 1906, the defendant
and Mrs. Simpson ran away and after
some trouble were located in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. Shortly before running
away Mrs. Jenness had fallen heir to
$4,000 from the estate of her uncle,
James King of Chicago. She received
$4,000 at that time and was to receive
$4,000 at the end of Is years, and in
the meantime four per cent on the
$4,000. Mr.. Jenness went to Sioux,
City and asked his wife to return home
with him. Being unsuccessful he settled
with her for $4,000 and deed of the
| home farm, which stood in her name,
and with her executed contract of set
Element which also purported to be a re-
lease of Walter Simpson from any further
liability to the plaintiff. The defendant
relied upon this contract as bar to the
present action, but the plaintiff claimed
the contract void because of fraud and
being of no force under the laws of South
Dakota. In January, 1907 Mrs. .Jenness,
having resided in South Dakota six
months obtained decree of divorce and
married Mr.. Simpson. The couple then
returned to Vermont, and the present
suit to recover $4,000 was commenced
against Mr.. Simpson. Mr.. and Mrs.
Simpson now live at Stanstead Junction,
P.Q The defence to this action was not
guilty and that Mrs. Jenness was justi-
fled in leaving her husband because of
his abuse, so that there was no affection
to ALLEVIATE; that even if the defendant
were guilty the plaintiff by the contract
made in Sioux Falls had released him
from any liability. The plaintiff at
tackled the contract on the ground of
fraud, and claimed the divorce to be void
because the courts of South Dakota had
no Jurisdiction to grant one in this case,
because Mrs. Jenness was not bona fide
resident of South Dakota The evidence
in this case was finished Saturday, and the
argument was begun Monday. The case
went to the jury Tuesday noon and the
verdict rendered was for the plaintiff to
recover So, 1888.
The grand Jury finished work yester-
day and found nine true bills among
which were Horace D. Grswold, adul-
terry; Rosie F. Olcott, adultery; Bill
Hayes alias Dan Hayes; and George
Menosh and John Cook burglary. They
also made their report on the new Gale
donia county Jail. In it they recommend
that the bank wall east of the jail be re-
inforced and repaired; that the drainage
system be repaired by installing larger
pipes and placing same below the frost
line; that the Jail house be torn down, or
removed or a new one built; that the old
Jail be removed Immediately as it is un-
slightly, unhealthy, unsanitary and
menace to the public health, and that a
barn be built on the premises.
The case that will be taken up this
morning is that of Warner W. Good
enough VS.. Plynn H. Mcdonald, an &C.
tion for trespass on real estate.

PREACHER BELIEVES
IN SUNDAY BALL

M 81
Minneapolis got its first religi-
Gus service at a professional baseball
game Sunday, when Rev. G. L. Nor
rill delivered a short address before
the Minneapolis-Kansas City game
at Nicollet park. Fully 1000 fans
we're in attendance and that part OF
the stands which could hear the speak
er listened interestedly while Mr..
Morrill, spoke. He was introduced by
Umpire King and quiet reigned thru
out the park during the service.
"The vest" said Mr.. Morrill,, 'sis
never content to be behind the east
in any progressive movement and will
not take a back seat when baseball,
religious services are considered. Fo,
myself | do not usually attend Sunday
games because I go every other day
in the week, but this is no reason why
others than myself should not enjoy
the privilege, Live and let live is q
pretty good motto, and I believe thai
this crowd is largely made up of mer
who have but this one weekly chance
to see the Minneapolis club fight fol

of Sunday baseball is for the home
team to lose, SO I say to the Mime.

CHILDREN
ARE AFFLICTED
A Peculiar Form Of Infantile Par
alysis Battles the Skill Of the
Best Physicians.

Considerable alarm is felt in the
Dakotas and Minnesota over the de-
velopment of an obscure disease of
which children are the principal vic
tins and which is reported to be cpl
demic in some localities, thirty cases
having been reported from Mortified
alone and a similar number from
Winona. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, as
it is called is a form of infantile par
alysis which while it is not often fatal,
generally has results which affect
those afflicted with it through life.
1t is a germ disease which attacks GER
tain parts of the spinal cord, produc-
ing paralysis of the arms and legs
from which, while there may be par
tial there is rarely full recovery.
The limbs affected, it may be the
arms or the legs or one arm and one
leg, shrink and the patient never has
the full use of them again.
While some of the leading St. Paul
physicians have been studying the
disease but little progress has been
made in finding a remedy for it.
The best that they can do is to sug-
gest preventative measures, as gener.
al cleanliness, simple diet and the
avoidance of uncooked fruit and vege
tables. Parents are also cautioned
not to allow their children to play in
the dirt. The symptoms of the dis
ease are fever for a day or two, with
lack of appetite, deranged bowles,
nausea and general pains followed
by a complete paralysis of the legs or
a leg and an arm. The paralysis is
ordinarily complete by the time it is
discovered, and it comes rather sud-
denly, being usually discovered when
the mother tries to get a child up in
the morning. The disease is thought
by some to be contagious, by others
to be infectious. At all events in To-
calities where one case develops a
number of them ~ likely to follow.
It is a dreadful thing to think of tn
number Of crippled innocents this
cruel scourage is leaving in it's wake.

A Happy Anniversary

Why. not celebrate the birthday of
the state of North Dakota?
This date is, by common consent,
that of the adoption of the state con
stitution, October l, 1889. The people
of North Dakota have much to be
thankful for inasmuch as it is one of
the bright galaxy of commonwealth
which make up the proudest Union
ever affected territorially, and it
would be fitting that the event should
be celebrated annually in an educa-
tional and felicitous manner.
1t would not be inappropriate in
the governor to suggest that on Octo-
Der 1st, turnout the state, the
school children devote an hour or
two to subjects pertaining to re-
sources Of the state, it's many advan-
tages as a home, aud the JOY and
profit to be gained by living in it.
This could be supplemented with
prizes in each school for the best
address or essay on the subject and
by other exercises which would tend
to make the children appreciate
their home state and add to their
patriotism generally. Among the
grownups, meetings could be held
in the towns where addresses appropri-
ate to the occasion and other pleas
ant features would tend to awaken
the people to our material greatness
and our homeogeneousness as a peo-
: pie.
All these exercises should be de-
signed not only to emphasize the
birthday of the state, but to encour-
age the further study of it's history
and resousces. 1t can be made a
day of of sound instruction in history,
conveying lessons of courageous en-
%terprise, and valid reasons for life
long pride in the spirit and traditions
of the child's native state. The
exercises would be a break in the
routine of school work, but they can
be made a part of the general pro.

Hint to Home Builders.

Select the highest point of
ground on your lot to put your
house on, so as to permit perfect
drainage. Excavate your base
ment sufficiently large to give
you plenty of room to work on
your foundation walls from both
sides, thus insuring the con-
struction of a well built wall, in
depent of the dirt banks. and do
not omit to build good substantial
concrete footings under all foun-
dation walls and chimneys.
When your foundation walls
are all completed, fill up the
space left between the dirt bank
and stone wall to within six inch
es of the grade line with coarse
gravel and sand, tamping same
thoroughly to make it compact
and solid; then fill on black dirt
up to grade line, sloping same off
gently from all sides of the foun.
dation wall to insure good drain
age.
Whether built of stone, brick,
concret or cement blocks, all
foundation walls should have an
airspace in them, particularly
from the grade line up, to pre-
vent frost and moisture from
penetrating the walls.
Use nothing but the best
grades Of lime, cement and brick
in all foundation work, and re.
member that you get nothing
but the best if you buy these
goods from the Beidler & Robin
son Lumber Company, who al
ways carry a large supply
on hand at all their lumber
yards.
