Common Pleas
Other Items Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice

In the case of Fred e. Wooster vs..
Frank o. Levering, an answer and
cross-petition was filed in the court Of
common pleas on Saturday by the de-
fendant. In the answer the defendant
admits that the said partnership was
formed on March 20, 1905, for the pur-
pose Of engaging in the gas and oil
business. The defendant says that for
sometime past the plaintiff has been
indebted to the partnership and at the
present time is indebted to the said
partnership. The defendant, says that
on several occasions he has asked for
settlement with the plaintiff, but
that the latter has refused.
In his cross-petition the defendant
says that the partnership has under
Lease certain land in Roane county,
West Virginia, and that much of the
machinery and tools belonging to the
partnership have been conveyed to
that place, and that considerable mon
sy has been expended by the partner
ship in that county. The defendant
says this land has become very valu-
able to the partnership and at the time
operations were commenced 1t was left
TO the will Of the partners as to the
disposition of said property. The de.
fendant now desires termination of
the partnership business. He states
that the books of the partnership have
always been open for the inspection Of
the plaintiff and that there is sufficient
cash on hand to take care of all the
Indebtedness of the said partnership.
The defendant asks that the part
nership be dissolved and that re-
ceiver be appointed and that the busi-
ness be sold and that the court deter
mine the sum due each partner.
f. o. Levering is the attorney for
the defendant.

< d icy Diseases Increase 80
Per Cent in the City of
Chicago in one Cen
Grafton.

One of the most appalling facts
brought to light by the statistics
of the United States Census
Bureau, is the increase of Kidney
and Bladder Diseases. In less
than one generation these dread
full ailments have increased 1877
per cent in the City of Chicago
and in much the same ratio in
other parts of the United States.
These diseases arise, almost
wholly from the process Of strain
ing the human machine. They
may be due to overlooking or un-
der feeding, to over work or un-
der work in fact to any OF those
irregularities in living which the
average man or woman subjects
the body to.
Every three minutes the entire
blood supply passes through the
kidneys which act as very fine
filters separating the waste from
the pure blood and eliminating
it through the bladder.
During the years of hard work
the Kidneys break down causing
Bladder troubles, Brights Dis
ease, Backache and a dozen other
ailments which almost every one
knows only too well. The weak
ness will first be noticed by
pains in the back, scanty or too
frequent urinating, aching
limbs, irritability, continuous
thirst, irritation of the Bladder,
sleeplessness and symptoms of
allied nature; and later, as
Brights Disease, by intense
paleness and wasting away of
the tissues.
After years of careful study
and laboratory work, the Cham
bers Medicine Company has per-
fected a Kidney and Bladder Pill,

ST. VALENTINE.

The st. Valentine who suffered
martyrdom on the 18th of Feb
ruary was one of fifty-two saints
of that name but nothing has
ever been found in his life or in
the lives of any of them, that
would give occasion for the
singular observance of the day.
1t has been maintained that it
was an ancient custom among
the Romans during the Luper-
Gala, celebrated in the month of
February, for the boys and men
to draw the names of their flu
ture wives in honor of their god
dess, Februate Juno, and that
the Christian clergy finding It
absolutely impossible to abolish
this heather practice changed it
to a religious ceremony by writ
ing on the slips of paper instead
of the names of women those of
particular saints whom they were
to follow and initiate during the
year.

Desert Lands.

The rule for determining the
desert character of lands is sub
stantially as follows: Lands that
one year with another for a SER
les of years will not without ir-
rigation produce reasonably re-
munerative crops are desert with
in the meaning of the law.
A showing that crops, even re-
munerative ones, have grown on
lands for a few seasons under
unusual conditions as to rainfall,
does not conclusively prove their
non-desert character. Citing

Word has been received from
Modena that there have been
wool buyears in that town offer
ing 16 cents per pound for this
years clip of wool, Reports are
also coming from the northern
end of the state TO the effect
that wool prices are ranging
from 16 to 10 cents and that
several flockmasters have already
contracted for 18 and 10. It is
evident that if our wool men of
Southern Utah can but hold off
for a month or so that the price
here will reach Is or 10 cents
and if so they will realize a larg-
er amount of money than was
possible last year.
