MOVEMENT SPREADING
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY, D

yor something like a month or six weeks ago. This part of the case involves something like s140,000, but it Is thought that 1t is hardly pos sible that the supreme court has been called upon to decide this mat ter, as but a short time has elapsed since the decision of the circuit court was made.
 Local attorneys state that one of the main grounds on which cases are carried to the supreme court Is jurisdiction. It Is therefore very evident that the attorneys for the defendants In the case in ques- ton have carried the matter to the supreme court on the ground that Judge Fuller did not have jurisdic- tion In the matter of trying the case, and have been overru,ed.

BAD GOLD? TAKE
 CASCARE7S" f0R BOWELS TONIGHT
They're Fine! Liven Your Liver and Bowels and Clear Your
 Head.
No Headache, Sour Stomach Bad Cold or Constipation By
 Morning.

Get 10-cent box.
 Colds-whether in the head or any part of the body-are quickly over come by urging the liver to action and keeping the bowels free of poison: Take Cascarets tonight and you will wake up with a clear head and your cold will be gone. Cascarets work while you sleep; they cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the bowels.
 Remember the quickest way to get rid of colds is one or two Cascarets at night to cleanse the system. Get 10- cent box at any drug store. Don't for get the children. They relish this Candy Cathartic and it is often all that is needed to drive cold from their little systems.-Adv.
