LAW PROCESS UNNECESSARY.
Outcome Of Lawsuit Establishes Pro

cedent For Landlord.
Oskaloosa, March 2S.-In the damage
case of j. f. Shuey VS.. Charles Phelps,
the jury, after being out about two
hours, returned with a verdict for the
defendant. This seems to establish the
fact that a landlord who holds a con-
tract with a tenant to vacate under
certain conditions can proceed to Gust
the tenant if the contract is violated,
without resorting to a process of law.

properly fill them out according to the
instructions found on each schedule

work. The schedule can be left with
the family so it will be at hand when
the enumerator calls.

The Weather Conditions Seem to
Breed Illness.

Though the weather that we have
been having for the past three weeks
has all seemed very fine to us, it is
not at all fortunate that such wealth
err comes to us so far out of season {;
this is shown by the unusual amount
of illness in Maine, especially the
great number OF pneumonia cases. 1t
is reported that there are over thirty
cases of this dread disease in Gin
ton, and that over twenty of the stu
dents in Colby college are suffering
from it also. A strange coincidence
lies in the fact that in all these cases
the sufferers have first been troubled
by ear aches and severe pains in the
back of the neck.

respected business men of Somerset
county, w. w. Nye of Fairfield, makes
an announcement in this issue to the
effect that he will be candidate for
nomination for the office of County
Treasurer at the next Republican
county convention.
Mr., Nye has been interested in poll
tics for many years and has always
been honorably connected with the
Republican party. He has worked
long and hard for his party, and 1t is
safe to predict that he will make a
strong fight for the office of county
treasurer.
For four years Mr.. Nye was a dep
uty sheriff and was not only consci-
entious in the performance of his du-
ties but was very popular officer.
