Suit Against Western Union Tele.

Suit Against Western Union Tele.
graph Co. Involves Intricate Points
The suit brought against the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph company by DR..
]. II. Collins of Granville, ~ Y, in
wolves a curious legal question. The
suit was brought some time ago, the
purely legal question, aside from
damages, having been submitted at
the December term of county court
to Judge Waterman
DR. Collins owns a cottage in Dor
set which he had made arrangements
TO rent for the summer to a Mr.. Sal
mon of Chelsea. Mass Mr. Salmon
had agreed to let Dr. Collins know by
a certain date whether or not he
would take the cottage Finding that
he could not, he filed a telegram at
the Chelsea Office of the Western I'm
ion, which, it is claimed, read "Will
be unable TO take cottage at Dorset"
When delivered to DR.. Collins at
Granville it is alleged that the tele.
gram read "Will be able to take cot
tage at Dorset" Understanding that
Mr.. Salmon had agreed to take the
cottage DR. Collins refused several
offers.
The telegram was written upon a
blank upon the back of which it was
stated that the responsibility of the
company for loss sustained because
of an unrepeated telegram should be
limited to the cost of thes message
The Vermont courts have held that
such a contract is not enforcible The
New York and Massachusetts courts
have held that it is. The telegram
had been sent from Massachusetts, to
New York The telegraph company
was relying on the law in the latter
states on the grounds that a contract
valid where made is valid every
where.
DIR. Collins, through his attorneys,
has challenged that and contended
that the case should be decided by

ably the first election of the year.
though coming as it does in the midst
of haying and during the vacation
season. il is not likely that a large
vote will be cast The Republicans
are very fortunate in having for their
candidate the man who ought to be
the strongest with the voters OF any
man in Vermont-Frank l.. Greene OF
st. Adams. He has done more for
Vermont than any other man living
i'm the state and now the voters OF
this district have the chance to put
him in a place of still wider useful
ness. Seems as though we have
heard or read that the Democrats
have nominated a man against Mr.
Greene, but they ought not Mr.
Greene is one of those rare men who
is above all party-clean, able, alert
active, brilliant progressive, loyaole.
In congress he will give this district
a reputation nationwide, and is sure
in a few years to become one of the
best known men in national council.
If the voters of this district were
wise to their opportunity they would
lay craftsmanship aside and give Mr..
Greene unanimous election on July
80.

Only one way to cure bad back.
Liniment and plasters may relieve it
They won't cure it.
Backache means sick kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for bad kid
neys.
Milford people back them up.
Read a case of it:
VIII. Bethards, of Milford, Del, says
II used four boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and they entirely cured me of a
severe attack of kidney complaint. My
back was in bad shape, in fact, there
was hardly ever a time when the pains
left me. 1t was almost impossible for
me to stoOp and was also annoyed by
irregular passages of the kidney secre-
tions. AS soon as began taking DOan's
Kidney Pills / felt better, and it was
not long before my system was entirely
free from kidney complaint. "
For sale by all dealers. Price so cents.
