FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1909.


The following from our worthy
neighbor, the Winchester Democrat,
is a warning against growing evil.
1t is worthy of serious consideration
"One thing cannot escape the not
ice of those who attend the sessions
of our courts and that is the great
increase in the number of damage
suits, If citizen stumps his toe on
brick and skins his knee forthwith
the city is sued; if an employee of a
manufacturer gets hurt, much or lit
tie, it is made the basis of damage
suit; if family quarrel results in a
separation suit is brought for allie
NATION of affections. If man speaks
his opinion a little too freely con-
corning his neighbor, he is at once
the defendant in a suit for SANDER,
and if poor newspaper, with no in
tention to offend, publishes something
that is not quite true, it will be sued
in a distant county, perhaps, for libel.
Some of these suits are all right, bur
many of them are wholly without
merit. Many of them are due to
lawyers who bring suit on the shares
as matter of speculation and with
little or no cost to the plaintiff. An
other cause is the tendency of the
average jury to award damages
against a wealthy person or corpor-
alton without much consideration of
the justice of the claim. Some of
this may be necessary, otherwise
great corporations in their greed for
gain would grow careless of the lives
and welfare of their employees, and
the instinct of self defense prompts
them to fair degree of care and
watchfulness of the comfort and
safety of employees. The fact re-
mains, however, that a great per-
centage of damage suits are brought
simply to take gamblers chance on
getting damages in a greater or les
ser amount"

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as
practically incurable blood disease.
the medical world is greatly interest
ed in the discovery that it is not a
blood disease at all. but is due to a
parasite in the skin itself. This par
asite is easily DESTROYED bv the ex-
ternal application of a compound OF
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine
etc. This will quickly kill all eczema
germs, while soothing and refreshing
the skim, te
DIR. r. A. Folkerts, of Duluth,
Mimi, tells of the success in treating
patients:
"There was a man here suffering
from eczema for the last fourteen
years, and / applied the D. d. d.
treatment. / also applied it to a man
Of West Duluth. Mimi, who has been
suffering with Rheumatism for four
teen wears, and Eczema in his feet,
and the second treatment in both
cases cleared the skin almost abso-
lutely. The first application is a
balm, and its soothing effect is be-
yond expression. i shall never be
without it, and shall use it amonp
my patients altogether"
No matter how terribly you suffer
from eczema, 'salt9rheum, ringworm,
etc. you will feel instantly soothe6
and the itch allayed at once when a
few drops Of this oil of wintergreen
compound is applied. The cures all
seem to be permanent. We recon-
mend it with ID. ID. Soap. Phillips

HOLD BOY FOR
HEAVY RANSOM
Bold kidnapping Takes Place
at Sharon, Pa.
CALLED FROM HIS STUDIES

Stranger Takes Lad Into Buggy, Tell
Ing Him He Is Wanted at Fathers
Office, and Is Traced to Warren, O.,
Where Rig and chiId,s Cap Are Re
covered-Mother Receives Note In
Sons Handwriting Demanding $to,-
900 For His Safe Return.
Sharon, Pa, March 19.-Ten thou
sand dollars ransom is demanded for
the return of William Whitla, Attor-
ney James P. Whitla's eight-year-old
son, who was spirited away from
school here by an unknown man, fur
nishing mystery which the detec-
tives of the country are being asked
to solve. Accompanying the demand
for ransom is a covert threat that the
BOY will be killed unless the money
is produced.
Hundreds of kilograms and tele-
phone messages have been sent to
the police of various cities asking
their assistance in the search for the
boy and his abductors. The first fruit
of these came when Chief of Police
Grain of this city received word that
the rig in which the lad was taken
away had been recovered at Warren,
o., with the child's hat on the buggy
seat. ALI the zeal of police and de-
tectives is now being centered at the
region lying about Warren. and those
in charge of the chase think the kid
naper has but a slender chance of
escape.
A stranger drove up to the East
Ward schoolhouse, where young
Whitla is pupil. and told the jan
itor, Wesley Sloss, the lad was want
ed at once at his fathers office. Sloss
conveyed the message to Mrs. Anna
Lewis, the boys teacher, who dis
missed the child. AS she was helping
him put on his overcoat she remark
3D. half jokingly, 81 hope that man
does not kidnap Willie"
When Sloss appeared with the boy
the stranger smiled and helped him
to the seat beside him. He then drove
off in the direction of Mr.. Whitla's
Office. Several persons say a confed-
crate joined the kdnaper before he
had left town.
Later in the day letter directed
to the mother was delivered at the
house by mail carrier. Mrs. Whitla
at once recognized the handwriting
on the envelope as that of her son.
Opening it, she found the following
communication written in a strange
hand:
1--WE have your boy and will return
him for $4,000. Will see your adver-
tisement in the papers. Insert in In
dianapolis News, Cleveland Press,
Pittsburg Dispatch, Youngstown Vim
dicator: "A. A.-Will do. as requested.
]. P. W. Dead boys are not desir-
able"
The penmanship and spelling Of
the note indicated it had been written
by a man of fair education. Mr.
Whitla decided to comply with the
conditions of the letter and sent for
publication to each of the newspapers
specified the note it directed him to
insert.
