To Clean Straw Mating.

Before applying water to straw mat
ting, it should be thoroughly swept and
then gone over with dry cloth to remove
as much dust as possible. Remove grease
spots by applying Fuller's earth made
into thin paste with cold water. Spread
the paste over the spot, let it remain two
Or three days; then brush it off carefully.
To freshen and clean mating, wipe it off
in lukewarm water to which has been
added teaspoonful OF Gold Dust wash
ing powder to basin of water. The
mating should never he made thoroughly
vet but wiped little at time with a
damp cloth and the water should be

HELD MOCK TRIAL
The Case For Hearing Was That Of
Peter Grimes Against Trim
ity M. e. Church.

A mock trial was held by the Ep-
worth League at the Trinity church
last night The case set for hearing
was that of Peter Grimes against
Trinity M. E. church for $4,000 dam
ages. The attorneys for the plaintiff
were " R. McNay and B. C. Cook The
attorneys for the defense were q. S.
Patterson. R. w. Lofquist and C. E.
Alling The court convened about 9
O'Clock with Judge Potter on the
bench. The witnesses We're sworn in
by Clerk Hopkins. Mrs. G. f. Benson
acted as court reporter and the jury
was composed of the following:
John Elgin, Frank Hurlbert, E. P.
Walker, Marc Parson, j. w. Horning,
E. w. Scott, foreman.
murmur of sympathy was heard
in the court room when the plaintiff
appeared on a crutch, with the right
arm in sling, and numerous patches
OF court plaster about the head, and
assisted by the doctor in attendance,
H. l.. COPYRIGHT and by his attorneys.
The plaintiff proved that on the
night of Dec. 16, very dark night
he fell into the open stairway leading
into the basement of the church and
sustained the following injuries: A
sprained hip, broken arm, serious
bruises about the head, and internal
injuries, making of him a cripple for
life
The argument of the defense was
that the opening of the stairway was
three feet from the property line and
hence on private property and that
no man of sound mind could fall into
it without negligence on Glis own part
The court room was filled, and
much enthusiasm was manifested.
Judge Potter had to exercise his au-
thority frequently to keep the court
quiet during proceedings.
After due consideration the jury
passed their verdict allowing 81 500
to the plaintiff.
The court was adjourned by Baliff
Tracy.

throughout the season is favorable and
things plan out as indications tend

Was Down Town This Afternoon and
Getting Ready to be Spent For
Green Neck Tie by
Mike Burke.

The talking dollar is worth 100
cents. Somebody, some place during
the wanderings of the dollar got mix
ed up in the scheme and started the
dollar out on tour as of no value,
passing 1T along as though it we're
merely some kind of tin tag.
When the talking dollar was locat-
this afternoon at Burkes' candy store
it had a pitiful tale to tell.
What do you Think said the dol
lar, as the tears streamed out of the
eyes of Liberty, some on has called
me valuless and says that l am not
worth anything. | have been given
away. A man got shaved for me and
would take no change back. Just now
came into this store was offered for
a ten cent cigar and the man refused
to take any change"
The reporter explained that the
| dollar was good, sound, 100 cent one,
endorsed by the bank which had it
once and good for 100 cents any time
at The Gate City office or any bank
in the city.
In addition to the long list of places
the dollar has been, printed in last
evenings paper, the following addi-
tlonal names are now on the card:

Mr.. Burke had the dollar at 1:30
this afternoon and intended to go out
and spend it as soon as possible. He
was going to buy a green necktie in
honor of st. Patricks day.
So far the dollar has been up Main
street to Twelfth and in over fifty
different hands in three days.
Nearly everyone who gets hold of
it ties tag to it and it has become
quite portly in appearance.
1t is having the experience any
other dollar would have which is
/ spent at home. 1t stays at home and
circulater among the citizens.
On account of the abundance of tags
and cards tied to it, it is too big now
to be put in pocket or a cash drawer
but might be crowded into safe, if
the safe was big enough.
Whoever gets it tomorrow after
noon at 1870 o'clock, is asked to
kindly telephone to The Gate City Of
