the Importance of 1t.

Bachache is only a simple thing

But when you know it's from the

DISTRICT COURT.
Farmers Store Loses Case to
Enforce Subscription.

District court has been in session all
this week, and several interesting
cases have been tried.
The first case taken up Tuesday
when the trial of jury cases began
was the appeal of Ole K. Jallo from
the award of damages of the town
board of Synnes for road in the
southern part of that township. J. B.
Ormond appeared for the plaintiff and
G.. B. Randall for the town board. The
jury placed Mr.. Jallo's damages at
$50.
The next case taken up, and one
which attracted the largest audience
to the court room was that of the
Stevens County Farmers Cooperative
Mercantile Company VS.. Lewis Foley.
The parties were represented by W.
II. Cherry and F. w. Murphy for the
plaintiff and J. B. Ormond for the
defendant. This was case to en-
force the collection of stock sub
scription agreement to the Farmers
Store, which the defendant refused to
pay. After the plaintiff had intro
duced it's testimony and rested, Judge
Flaherty instructed the jury to bring
in verdict for the defendant, as the
plaintiff had not shown that it had
complied with the conditions of the
subscription contract, in the matter
of the bonding of the officers.
On Thursday, the personal injury
case of Mrs. Thos. Diffely against the
City of Morris was taken up, the
plaintiff claiming damages for an in
jury sustained by her from defective
sidewalk near the N. P. depot last
fall. F. w. Murphy and w. FL. Cherry
represented the plaintiff and City At
torney Ormond the defendant. In
this case the plaintiff failed to prove
that the city had been negligent as
pleaded, and was allowed leave to
amend her complaint and the case
continued over the term.
The other damage suit against the
city by Mary G.. Smith for injuries
sustained by her last summer on oc-
count of the step in the sidewalk near
T. j. Moore's residence was settled on
Thursday evening, the city paying
Mrs. Smith $3.50.
Friday, the case of M. E. White
against Ole Falk for commission on a
land deal was taken up. G. B. Ran
dali appeared for the plaintiff and
W. H. Cherry for the defendant.
Judge Flaherty instructed the jury
to find verdict for the plaintiff in
such sum as they deemed he was en-
titled to, and the jury returned YER
dict for $3.50.
The jury was then dismissed and
court cases will now be taken up.

Fill a pee, glass dish-an old fash

carefully, 50 that it shows prettily
Through the :des. Then Just few
inches below the surface place a few

Keep the mess nice and moist, and
An a short timo you will be pleased to
find the acorns sprouting and a minia-
ture forest Of dainty little trees will
anstime peep through. When they are
fairly strong and large, replant them
--one each--in a pot in some good

ASKS US TO PRINT
Tells How to Prepare a Simple
Mixture to Overcome Disease.

To relieve the worst form of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dam
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly.

with a long machine stitch two inches

KILLED HUSBAND
fork County, Pay Woman I'm
pIiGateS Lover in Murder.
STRYCHNIHE IN HIS COFFEE

Mrs. Minnie Tracey Tells Police VIII
liam Brown Gave Her the Poison to
Kill Her Husband-Also Suspected
Of Poisoning Browns Wife a Year
Ago.
Mrs. Minnie Tracey. the Lower
Chanceford woman who. with her
brother-inlaw, William R. Brown, IS
confined in the York county, Pa. jail,
charged with the murder of her hus-
band, Joshua Tracey. whose mysteri-
Gus death occurred Monday, June IA,
has confessed that she knowingly and
with wilful intent administered poi
son to her husband. She duplicates
Brown, declaring that he introduced
the poison into a vessel containing
coffee.
The woman's written statement, now
in possession of the police is in sub
stance to the effect that Brown pro-
cured the strychnine; that he conceal
ed himself in the woods until he had
an opportunity to enter the house un-
seen by his prospective victim; that
he dropped the poison into a coffee
pot on the stove; that she witnessed
his act, after which she administered
the poisoned coffee, mixed with whis-
ky, to her husband, and then instruct
ed her daughter to empty the coffee
pot of its contents. rinse the vessel
and make fresh coffee.
There must have been an overdose
of the poison put in the coffee, for it
threw Tracey into violent commissions,
which caused him to tear the flesh
from his breast and to die in great
agony It was this violence that
aroused the suspicious Of the neigh
borhood
The police, in cooperation with the
Lancaster. Pa, authorities, learned
that the poison-1O cents worth of
strychnine-was purchased for Brown
by his brother, John A. Brown, at Ian
caster, which city William Brown Wis
tied last Thursday. Brown, in request
ing his brother to make the purchase,
said he wanted it to kill rats.
That the faithless wife and her
lover had planned the murder days, or
even weeks ahead, seems certain.
A startling development in the case
Is the possibility that Brown and Mrs
Tracey may be made to answer for yet |
another murder About a year ago |
Browns wife. a sister of Tracey, died |
suddenly a few weeks after the birth |
Of a child. and while being nursed by |

was viewed as mysterious. and there /
