pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that is

tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Register in Probate Ray w Clarke,
who was attorney for Milton college in
some litigation involving the retention
of a $1,000 gift from Charles Badger,
deceased, received a telegram from
Grand Island, Nebraska, to the effect
that District Judge Paul had rendered
a decision In favor of the Rock county
institution of learning. AS the case
was largely within the discretion of the
trial Judge, it is not expected that the
case will be carried on appeal to high
er tribunal. In 1905 Mr. Badger, who
kept store in Milton for many years,
sold $50 acres of land in Valley county,
Nebraska, and took return mortgage
for 81, 900. To provide for himself and
his second wife in their old age and at
the same time do something for Milton
college, he entered into an agreement
whereby he turned the mortgage over
to the college authorities with the stip-
ulation that they pay to him annually
during his lifetime sum equivalent to
six per cent interest on the mortgage
This contract was made in May, 1905,
and in December of the same year Mr.
Badger died. In April, 1907, his daugh-
ter, Mrs Holiday, who lives in Kansas
City, commenced an action to have the
mortgage declared her property, claim
ing that prior to turning it over to the
college her father had conveyed it to
her in an instrument that had never
been recorded.

BRITISH MINISTER'S
 ADOPT NEW DEVICE
To Keep Power of the Purse in Hands
 of House of Commons.

London, March 10-The ministers adopted a new device in the war be- tween the lords and commons by ask ing parliament today to vote supplies for six weeks only, instead of from four to six months, as has been the practice the last fifteen years. The fact is not concealed that this device is intended to keep the power of the purse in the hands of the house of commons. in readiness for a fresh con- stitutional crisis which is expected probably will reject the resolutions curtailing their power of veto so as to bring about the resignation of the government.
 If supplies were voted for six months MT. Balfour could then take office and carry on the government, but with the necessity of coming to the house of commons for a new vote on supply he would be defeated.
 The conservatives in the house of commons today indignantly denounced trick in it's policy of evasion and chi canery," their newspapers echo this sentiment
 Chancellor Lloyd George frankly admits that it is his intention thus to keep effective control over the execu- tive from whichever side of the house that executive is drawn and it is un- derstood that the laborites and the na- tionalists will support the government. In the meantime to guard against sur prises and the possibility Of defeat by whips have issued circular to all it's supporters, impressing upon them the necessity Of constant attendance in the house of commons.

The Case of Morse.

Charles w. Morse was accused of breaking the national banking laws. He was indicted, tried, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years imprison- ment in the penitentiary at Atlanta. For a few months he was out on bail. During that time he managed to recu- perate from his losses. Out of the ruin which had involved him he res- cued about seven million dollars. Le- gally every cent of this was his. There was no reason why he should pay any of it to people who had suffered finan- cially from the failure of the Morse bank, no legal reason, we understand.
 When the Standard Oil company was fined twenty-nine million dollars it was considered by many to be unusual and harsh punishment, and the courts re- fused to sustain it. Had Morse been fined one million dollars many would have considered this a harsh and un- usual punishment We hold no brief for the man, but there is much in his favor His incarceration now smacks somewhat of vengeance. Is it not just possible that justice is too severe in his case? We think it is. He return ed voluntarily from Europe to face his accusers. He has acted since ruin fell on him in every way life an honest man. He has met every demand on him and has made full restitution.-The Charleston News and Courier.

TROUBLE ENCOUNTERED THROUGH MISUNDERSTANDING. Part of Dye Mill Property Under At
 tachment-Hearing Set.

Attachments have been placed by Constable Michael J. Hickey on the brick office building at the old dye mill in Uncasville. A hearing on the matter will be held before Justice of the Peace William Smiddy in Uncas- tachment calls for s1O0 damages. Frank Martin of Norwich has the con- tract for tearing down and removing the mill and all buildings on the site, which is to form part of the reser- voir for the new paper mill In the course of dfsposing of the material MT. Martin sold to James Ritchie a considerable quantity of brick and lumber, including the carpenter shop with it's contents. The Bigelow-Ha to have had an understanding with MT. Martin that the carpenter shop was to be left untouched, at least un- til the work on the new dam was com Tsleted, in order to be used as a stor- age room for tools used on the dam. The attachments will restrain Mir. Martin and his workmen from tearing down the carpenter shop, which is frame building entirely separated from the main part of the mill and the office, which is of brick and attached to the mill proper.
 Contractor Frank Martin com menced Wednesday afternoon to use dynamite for the first time on the dye mill. Several blasts were fired in the course of the afternoon, and portions of the brick construction of the main building were thrown down. Much of the unsalea ble debris in the interior greater portion of the old brick has areadv been sold. The last service bale portion of the iron smokestack has been hauled off. being sold to the big brick chimney will be the last to be blown up.

The sardine Deception.

A Boston despatch says that officials of the pure food bureau have seized there 250.000 boxes of sardines be- cause they were falsely labeled. The specific charge was that the fish were not packed in olive oil as claimed. There is d good deal of deceit in a little can of sardines. In the first place the fish are not sardines at all, but only cunners or something of the sort masquerading as the real thing. Then they are packed in cottonseed oil and put up in cans that are not honestly tin-simply sheet iron with a mighty thin wash of tin. The fish are pretty good at that palatable and wholesome. The trouble is that they constitute a mercantile lie. People have a right to know exactly what they are buying There seems to be no necessity for the disguise or the fraud. @Sardines'' would be liked just as well with a truthful label Bristol Press.

Can Grow Black Roses?

Confidently asserting that after ff- teen years experimenting he has dis covered g process whereby black roses may be grown, Dennis Tapley. from Savannah, Ga, is in Washington, to obtain, if possible, a patent upon his discovery.
 He was preceded by letter written by Col A. R. Lawton, vice president of the Central of Georgia, railroad, who has interested himself in Tapley's claims, and who has asked Representa- a. tive Edwards of Georgia to take charge of the matter before the patent office This MT Edwards will do. assuring the cripple, who has made keyrings all his life for a living, that his invention will receive the same jealous guardianship as though he were Thomas A. Edison himself.
 The black rose is something for which the world has been waiting for a long time. The discoverer says that within the past month he has been of- fered $500,000 for his secret the day it is protected by patents, but he is going slow in accepting any offer.-Washing ton Despatch to the Cincinnati En- qJIirer.
