To Hem Napkins,

In hemming napkins a small, even
hem can be obtained by running the
edge of the napkin to be hemmed
through the smallest hemmer of the
machine without being threaded.
Press the hem back and overcast,
placing stitches close. This is more
rapid than the old way and saves
pficking, the finger.

Heirs In, a ConteskJ-A fight for the
possession Of an interest in the prop
erty located on the southeast corner
of Third and Ripley streets Is now be-
ing waged in the district court before
Judge William TheophfIus. Arrayed
on the one side is the plaintiff, Mrs.
Mary L. Goldsmith, with her attorneys,
Lane & Waterman and J. T. Harrison,
and on theother the two defendants IN
the two suits, J. H c. Petersen and
Frederick Ludoiph, with their attor-
neys, Bolliuger & Block, Cook & Bal
Iuff and w. HSPetersen. The point
involved regardssthe possession of the
property, which the plaintiff claims
was wflIed to two children, Zachafiah
Goldsmith. who died In 1854, the plain
till being the widow of one of these
children. The case Is a complex one
and involves many fine technical points
of law regarding real estate. It is
probable that the hearing will last
three days.

swan killed was Of the American var
years ago. The other two are Euro
pean swans which were brought from
a Cincinnati bird house by Superin-
tendent Boehm at a cost Of $35 for the
pair. The dead swan was a great pet
and will be missed by the children of
the city. 1t has always had the migrar
tory instinct strong along in August,
but its wings had been clipped and the
bird had never left the park during the
i've years since 1t was donated to the
city.
BARRIERS to Continue Fight - Union
BARRIERS are undaunted by the outcome
OF recent prosecutions. and at repre-
sentative meeting Monday night they
decided to continue the prosecution for
alleged violations Of the Sunday clos
ing laws. It was asserted at the meet
ing that the International BARRIERS
union had notified the local union that
an unlimited appropriation would be
made for them to continue the prosecu-
tons. Special counsel Will also be en-
ployed. The special committee TO in
vestigate violations Of the Sunday clos
ing law was reappointed at the meet
ing, and 1t is likely that new warrants
Will be issued shortly. The BARRIERS as
a whole at the meeting were in favor
Of pushing their side of the case.

spells and was very nervous. had back
ache, weak kidneys, pain in back Of the

ing in stomach, indigestion, cold hands
and feet. At night could not sleep well
and had bad dreams. In fact, felt like
a wreck. Inever got any benefit fromany
treatment until went to the Drs. Walsh.
