A case of more than ordinary
interest to the citizens of this
section was tried before Justice
O'Connor on Friday. A. F. Todd,
the Mccarthy merchant, brought
suit, against w R. Faddis, who
keeps restaurant at the same
place, for the restoration of GER
tain lots occupied by Faddis at
Mccarthy. F. H. Foster, repre-
senting the plaintiff. The Jury
brought in a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff, finding that Faddis
had forfeited his lease and that he
be ousted from the premises in a
reasonable time. There has been
much dispute about the rights of
squatters and others claiming I'M
der possessory right at Mccarthy
and the present suit will have a
wholesome effect in clearing the

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or 60 and help to put
out the fire? II is much the same way
with cough. A cough is q danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain g Cough
Remedy. Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. II is especially
valuable for the persistent cough that

of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching,

Unwise City Administrations.

Any city administration whose acts
are prompted by petty ~jealousies and
whose officials, either elected or ap-
pointed, refrain from performing the
duties they the people because Of
those jealousies, ought TO be i'm
peached. Honest, efficient service can
not be rendered the people when their
public servants have such a narrow
vision that they fail to appreciate the
value of public opinion, and therefore
commit those acts which prove that
such narrowness Of vision really ex'
lists. The public servants who accom-
plish public good are men Of broad
vision, whose first aim is real public
service, and not self-advertising and
personal g~lorifcation. Jealousy can
allow murderers to escape; permit in
competents to remain In Office; create
ineficiency in official labors, and bring
about a chaotic condition so apparent
to the people that they cannot fail to
see 1t. Some cities are today suffer.

Beetles and Their Habits.

One of the most amazing things In
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triunphed in the struggle
for existence, says Popular Science
Monthly. OF creatures they are by far
the most numerous, no fewer than
10000 distinct species having been
identified-three times the number OF
backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
in the frost-bound tracts of Iceland
and in the hot desert sands of Africa
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, in the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones, and in wood
and earth; and even in the very era
tiers of volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the In
hospitable land of Spitzbergen, to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds. fish, mollusks, c~rustaceans. q
few insects Of varied species, and many
spiders. but not q single beetle. While
other insects have succeeded In some
way in migrating from the mainland,
the beetles have apparently been un'
able to cross the wide, icy waters.

and her only. But the last week Of

PLAN YOUR HOUSE WISELY
Your Own Interests and the Interests
Of the City Alike Demand Care
in Building.

One factor often overlooked in fix
ing the value Of a house is the mis-
takes in judgment that often occur in
planning and locating it.
"You have often heard the remark,
"There stands a $1,000 house on a
$1,000 street"
Meaning that while the house point
ed out cost 5000 to build, the other
houses on the street average only
$1,000.
Such mistakes In judgment in build
ing would be less frequent If two
ideas were kept in mind by more peo-
pie when building.
Real estate men have found that,
as a general rule, a ratio of about three
to M should exist between the value
of a single family dwelling and the
value of the land 1t occupies.
Also, houses should be made to har-
monte with other buildings in the
block. Keep these two facts in mind
when buying.
Then-fne houses are sometimes
built near undesirable surroundings,
such as noisy factories. livery stables
and the like-which are sure to lessen
the value of the house.
Under mistakes in planning comes
the "freak" house, built to suit some
mans personal whim. Such a house
may be very costly and yet not ut all
salable.
The cost OF unusual or unduly or
nate fixtures and decorations is gen.
orally ~disregarded in fixing the value
of q building.
These things must all be considered
In fixing the value of a house-in con-
ncction with the cost to replace, de
probation and obsolescence, if any.
