Mothers-in-Iaw In Dickens Time.
Nowadays it is regarded as utterly
incorrect to speak of a stepmother as
a "mother-in-law." But anybody who
does can plead plenty Of literary au-
thority. "Mother-in-law' was good
English in this sense as we'll as the
other in 1916, and both Fielding and
Thackeray have it, "Father-in-law" is
used by Shakespeare both for wife's
father and for stepfather, and in
this sense it can be quoted from Dick
ems and George Eliot. But the general
agreement in modern times to stick to
"stepmother' is a wise avoidance of
confusion.

Will BE. LONG TERM

zFerrell Case Against Great Northern
Had Not Gone to Jury When
Union Went to Press.

The district court is still in session
and it looks at this time as if the
whole of next week would be consumed
IN clearing up the calendar even
though the judge decides to continue
the night sessions. In addition to the
unusual length of the calendar some
Of the cases are consuming much time
in trial.
The case of W. 81. Terrell & Co.
against the Great Northern Railroad
company for damages has been an un-
avoidably long one in consequence of
the large number of witnesses which
were placed on the stand. This suit
was brought by W. 81. Terrell & Co.
to recover something like $40, 900 from
the railroad company in consequence
of its failure to furnish cars to move
potatoes, such failure resulting in the
cancellation of orders by potato buy
ers at distant points and the loss of
sales by W. 81. Terrell & Co. In other
words, the stock was left on Terrell &
co. s hands and had to be sold for a
mere fraction of it's worth to the starch
factory. The counsel engaged in the
actual trial of the case are George
Stiles and E. l.. Mcmillan for W.
81. Ferrell & Co., and j. E. Mark
ham for the railroad company,
and they are among the ablest at
torneys in the country.
