Damages Awarded.


Tho telegram from Judge Sanders
further stated that the court had af-
firmed the decision of the Mcdowell
Circuit Court in the case of w. IT.
Daniel, administrator, against the Big
Sandy Coal K Coke company award
ing $4,000 damages TO the plaintiff
According TO the statement the plain
tin in error, Big Sandy Coal & Coke
boy twelve years of age. to work in
its coal mine in Mcdowell county as
trapper, and while engaged i'm this
employment he was run over by n
mine car and killed. The defendant
in error, w. II. Daniel, administrator
OF his estate. instituted this action in
the Circuit Court of Mcdowell county
for damages, and upon a trial ver-
dict was rendered in his favor in the
sum OF $4,000.
There was contention that the boy
was not under the age of fourteen
years at the time he was injured:
NNNAC "po anu a NOnItHINOn IIlHI HI
the time he was killed he was not
actually engaged at the work which
he was employed TO perform. The
uestion as to his age was submitted
to the jury upon conflicting oral testi-
mony, and they found that he was
under fourteen. AS to the question
whether or not, when he was killed,
he was at the place where he was
set to work. Tho court instructed the
jury that IL they believed from the
evidence that at the time OF the injury
DIETRICH was under fourteen years of
age, then the presumption is that he
was incapable of understanding and
appreciating the dangers incident TO
his employment, unless Il had been
shown by preponderance of the evi.
dence that he was, at the time of the
iijury, capable of understanding and
approaching such dangers, and they
should find for the plaintiff, although
they might further believe that Del.
trich. at the time OF the injury, was
not at the place where he was set
to work, but elsewhere in the mine.
The court overruled a motion to set
aside the verdict, and, over the objec-
tion of the plaintiff in error, entered
Judgment thereon.
The counsel for the defendant in
error were Sanders & Crockett. Little

for more perfect code of rules To
govern the game, and It's adoption will
be exhaustively taken up. Allega.

OF the main features OF the revision

Summer Baseball.

Summer baseball and the amateur
law have been the subject OF inves-
legations by the association, in con.
junction with the Amateur Athletic
Research Society. It is expected that
some definite action will be taken to
heal this sore spot In intercollegiate
athletics.
Alonzo A. Stagg Is chairman Of a
committee which is considering the
subject of track athletics, their prop.
er control, uniform rules for particl.
pants, methods Of preserving records
and allied topics.
The report of the committee on
basketball rules shows that some val
liable work has been accomplished.
a considerable Improvement has been
made in the rules Of play.
A change in the constitution of the
association las been proposed. so as
to give representation on the execu.
tive committee to sectional college
athletic Conferences and leagues. such
as the New England States, the wes-
tern Pennsylvania, the Missouri Val
ley the OHIO Valley and the West

THE NATURE OF
NEURASTHENIA

or nerve exhaustion, has been fire.
quently misunderstood by the public,
and quacks of all kinds have not hest
tated to invade this rich field with
extraordinary promises of cure from
various methods of impressing the
imagination. Rest, recreation and
distraction have been appealed to. not
without success, as they are aids to
relief; but physicians have always
known that the basis, of neurasthenia
lay in the actual physical starvation
Of the body and nervous system. Be-
fore mental suggestion can be eff
fective it is necessary to feed body
and nerves with their own proper
nourishment-a combination of albu-
men, the most important bodily con-
stituent, with phosphorus, the source
of nerve power. How this is best &C
complished may be learned from a
most interesting book issued by the
Bauer Chemical Company, $50 Ev-
erett building, New York, who will
send a copy free and prepaid. to
any applicant. The able physician
author discusses the causes OF
neurasthenia, but goes quickly to the
remedy, the food-tonic known as
Sanatogen, which combines the ele
ments above referred to in a soluble
powder, easily taken in tea, cocoa or
even water. The authors impreg
nable reasoning the publishers have
reinforced by striking testimony not
only from unimpeachable medical
sources, but also from world-known
novelists, playwrights, social leaders,
philanthropists and others whose
sense of justice has impelled them to
contribute their grateful acknowledge
ment of benefits sustained; the por-
traits of several of these distinguished
persons adorn the book. No one with
a logical mind can read this striking
work without being convinced; al
though devoid of mystical nonsense
and written in plain words, it is as
entertaining as a good short story.
AS indicating a sure means of pre-
vention. the book will interest all
hard-driven individuals or those not
quite up to par physically.
