IMPORTANT LAWSUIT
TITLE TO CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS
AND OTHER LANDS
INVOLVED.

A lawsuit which dates back to the
early settlement of Lake county will
probably come before the circuit
court at the October term, j.. l..
Soper having already prepared papers
in the case. The suit involves title
to the chautauqua grounds on the
north shore of Lake Madison, and aid
jacent lands owned by II. p. Smith,
Mrs. Annie Johnson, Prof. f. A.
Beuchel and Chas. b. Kennedy. The
body of land comprises 800 acres.
The land in dispute was taken up
in the early 70's by William j. Baker
as a government land claim. Mr..
Baker secured title TO the land and
with his family occupied ii as his
homestead. In 1880 William j. Ba-
ker died and in his will he gave his
wife, Melissa Baker, a life interest
in the estate. In January, 1916,
Melissa Baker died, and suit Is now
brought to GOV the property by
children and grandchildren Of Melis-
sa Baker, as her heirs.
The heirs named in the suit com
prise a dozen or more. The parties
owning the land, including the chau-
tauqua association, each own about
one-eighth of the 320-acre tract.
Five suits have been commenced by
the heirs against the five owners.
Attorney Soper has already served
notice of suit on defendants at hand.
II. p. Smith, with wife and son, is
spending the winter in the south and
Chas. b. Kennedy is a resident of
California, and notice has not been
served Upon them. Hence, it will
not be possible to present the case in
court before the October term.
The Ease promises to be unusually
interesting and hard fought in court
as the land is valuable.

This is the first proceeding of the

THE LEGISLATURE
BOTH HOUSES CONSIDER MANY
NEW MEASURES.

Pierre, Jan. 1.-THE Indian eoun-
try law to keep liquor off the reserva-
tons is the one followed by Repre-
sentatives Kaas, of Marshall, and Egg
gen, of Roberts, in their bone dry
bill given the house. The exceptions
provide liquor for scientific, medici-
nal and sacramento purposes and
are left for the provisions of other
laws to regulate. One strong feature
of the bone dry" bill is that it adds
20 the federal act provisions of the
individual responsibility Of every
agent, officer, stakeholder and direc-
tor of any association or corporation
found in possession of intoxicating
liquors. The bill insofar as ii follows
the provisions of the present federal
law, has been tried and not found
wanting by courts time and again.
and if ii is passed it will prove as
strict a law as can be provided.
The regulation of the flow of ar
tesian wells i'm the state Is one object
of a bill by Labrie, of Sphinx, which
was sent to the senate yesterday. A
survey of the fields was made by the
state engineer under provisions made
by the last session. 1t is the purpose
of this bill to put the survey in the
hands of a competent inspector who
may go over the state and control the
flow of wells down to a point where
they will not go entirely dry, for a
while at least. The cost of this work
is assessed to the we'll owners.
The Independent oil dealers of the
state want a change in the oil inspec-
ton laws. They claim that the old
flash test and further requirements
OF the inspectors are out of date and
inadequate, and that the fees charged
are utterly i'm excess of the necessary
income for the department. They
want these remedied.
Senator Mclean and Senator Al
seth are working up a resolution for
an amendment to the constitution to
provide that county superintendent
shall be selected by the county com
missioners, instead of by popular
vote. They advance the example set
by city school boards. who are not
limited to their own town or city for
material for the office.
The old soldiers are here working
for n bill and against another. A
measure was presented several days
ago giving wives and widows of old
soldiers equal rights with the vet
Grams I'm the Soldiers home at Hot
Springs. Col. Orr, ~eommandant, with
other members of the board, oppose
this on the ground that it would
mean the flocking there of women
from all over the state who are liy-
ing with friends and relatives and re-
quire greatly increased facilities at
the home.
They want another bill for legal
authority Of the board to suspend in
mates who refuse TO observe the rules
and constantly disturb the peace and
quiet of the home.

GOOD LOSERS
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

Sometimes those who Fail-Win.
There is something big and fine and
inspiring about a Good Loser.
No one ever Wins all the time.
The three hundred brave men at the
pass of Thermopylae who saw certain
failure rushing fast upon them unto
their death, never fiinched, never fall
tered-but Lost-fnally to Win on into
the centuries and to inspire millions
to big deeds and big sacrifices.
No one ever Wins all the time.
But the fields of battle can never
corner the heroic Actions of the World.
The Everyday has her Victories, her
Heroes and Heroines-in the Home, at
the Office-everywhere. And here it is
that we daily applaud the Good Losers
as well as the Winners. For
No n eve Wins all the time.
Baseball is n of the greatest sports
of all times. Poor in something is the
man or woman who does not appre-
ciate this game. Daily, as fine a bunch
of Good Losers as ever pictured a Nat
ural History, is revealed on the base
ball Diamond. One of the finest exam
pies in all Baseball of a Good Loser is
the great pitcher, Christy Mathewson,
formerly of New York Giants, and now
of the Cincinnati Reds. He is one
pitcher that every spectator always
likes to see win. For when he Loses
he is a Good Loser. He always takes
his medicine with a Smile, thereby
making Character alongside Baseball
History.
No n ever Wins all the time.
50, be a Good Loser always. Smile
it out, and Grit it out. Your chance
will come again. Perhaps the very
next time you will be a Winner. You
surely will be if you are a Good Loser
now.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inlamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars
