Big DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED
CLARK COUNTY PAYS CLARKE
WILLIAMS $12,s12.oo.
Man Fell From Bridge in 1907 and
Was injured--The Bridge Was
Shown to be Defective.

Creston, Dec. 14.-Special: The
payment of the sum of s12,912 to
Clarence Mcconnell, clerk of the
district court of this county, by w
o. Low, auditor of Clarke county
and the handing over of that amount
to Clarke Williams, ends the famous
case of Clarke Williams against
Clarke county, begun in 1907.
Mr.. Williams was injured by fall
from a bridge in Clarke county,
which the plaintiff alleged in his suit
which followed, was defective ant
the county liable for his injuries.
The case came to Creston from
Clarke county on a change of venue
and was tried before Judge Towner
in September, 1907, when Judgment
of $4,000 was rendered for the
plaintiff. On appeal the judgment
was reversed and the case remanded
The second hearing of the case re
suited as in the first. instance, but
the Judgment being cut $500, Will
Jams being allowed damages in the
sum of $14,500. This sum was. re-
duced by Judge Towne" to $4,000,
Clarke county took another appeal
and on the second appearance of the
case in supreme court the judgment
of the lower court was affirmed.
Having no fund from which to pay
the Judgment Clarke county issued
bonds to defray the sum. These
bonds were only recently sold to a
Davenport company, the money paid
over and the Judgment paid. 1t is
the largest sum paid for personal in
juries, it is said, by county in
Iowa for years.

Nothing SO Funny.

There is nothing on earth so mys-
teriously funny as a newspaper ad-
vertisement. The prime, first, last
and all the time object of advertise
ment is to draw custom. 1t is not,
was not and never will be designed
for any other human purpose. So
the merchant waits till the busy sea-
son comes and his store is so full Of
custom that he can't get his hat of,
and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts in his advertisement. When
the dull season gets along and there
is no trade and he wants to sell goods
so bad he can't pay his rent he takes
olt the advertisement. That is, some
OF them do, but occasionally a level
headed merchant puts In a bigger one
and scoops In all the business while
his neighbors are making mortgages
to pay the gas bill.

Things seem different since your

bling for life beyond impelled the
giants OF philosophy of ancient times
to speak and write on the subject. 1t
inspired Socrates in his noble work
among the Athenian youths, and gave
courage to Cicero in the Roman
forum. And what was regarded by
them as only a possibility was later
made manifest by the appearance of
our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath
abolished death, and hath brought life
| and Immortality to light through the
| gospel" The Christians ideal of i'm
mortality, it should be noted, was that
| OF prolonged existence upon an i'm
| measurably elevated plane
The wonderful truth of immortal
ity, impressed at Easter, gives the
highest possible motive for faithful
| Christian life and service. Impelled
| by the fact of immortality, wise men
live as they ought to live, for life
goes on forever and the future is the
| harvest Of the present. They realize
that the eternal years of God belong
to truth, justice and righteousness.
The light of immortality shines on
| and unravels all the apparently hone
less entanglements of earth and time.
| 1t is worth while to live, to fight, to
| labor, to wait. and endure, for the
end is sure. Men can struggle, toll
and sacrifice in hope and patience, for
they realize that life gees on forever.
In new fulness, with new earnestness
| and power.
1t is well that once a year the SYM
bolism of Easter brings home anew
the lesson that men, If they will, may
o'erleap the barriers that their own
errors and weakness have created,
and emerge into a fuller and higher
life. crowned with the assurance of
immortality.
