The Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas
has just decided question OF importance to invest
on bond and mortgage. The point arose in the
case of Henry sidenberg Catherine Ely and
others. which was brought for the foreclosure OF
mortgage executed to the Etna Insurance Company
by one William g. Ely. in 1926 to secure the sum OF
$4,000 and interest In 1872 the Excelsior Life In
surance Company took an assignment of the mort
gage knowing that there were taxes unpaid upon
the property to the amount Of some 81. l.G40 which
they paid, claiming the right to add the sum so ex
pended to the mortgage debt. In 1875 Mr. Siden-
berg took an assignment of the mortgage and it's
accumulations from the Excelsior Company, and
taxes to the amount Of about $500 remaining un-
paid. He paid the same ana subsequently brought
this action to foreclose for the original
principal sum OF the mortgage. together with
the amount paid for taxes by the Excelsior Com
pany and himself. The property before the accumu
lation OF the taxes so paid having been devised for
life to one OF the defendants and the remainder hav
ing been devised to certain others of the defendants
the remainder men claimed that, us the life tenant
was bound to pay the taxes the mortgage could not
intervene and pay the same and then add the amount
to the mortgage debt, charging the estate of the
remainder men with an expenditure the life tenant
should have borne. TheplaDtitf the other hand,
claimed that the equities between the life tenant and
the remainder men could not limit his right to pay
taxes for the protection of his mortgage security
especially as the law provides way by which the
remainder men could have compelled the payment
of the taxes and SO have prevented their accumula
proposition, has decided that the plain
tiff is entitled to judgment of foreclosure
for the amount paid for taxes we'll for the
original sum secured by the mortgage Another
interesting point decided was that when interest only
is due at the time OF the commencement Of a fore
closure action but the principal falls due before the
trial, decree may be had for principal well in
teres and the plaintiff will not be put action
for the principal sum. The importance to the pubic
OF this determination is that it gives holder of
mortgage right to pay taxes which the owner of
the property allows to remain unpaid and to add the
sum expended TO the sum secured by the mort
gage. Such provision is usually expressly inserted
in mortgages and is known as the ''tax clause but
this decision secures such right to mortgage

the plaintiff and Messrs j. w. Howe AID Jeremiah
Loder tor the defendants.

THE COMING INVESTIGATION.


1t was decided yesterday to go into the

power and money to conduct the investi-
cation, which will be done on Monday.
There will be good many strange things
which occurred during the excitemement

WILLIAM AND MARY DEFEATED.


The practical defeat of the bill for the re-
endorsement of William and Mary College,
of Virginia, in the House yesterday after
noon, is considered as very good test case
of war claims.


The amount claimed was $65, 900 for the
destruction of the College and there have
been considerably over one hundred pre-.
pared speeches made upon it at various
times


During the Debate it was stated that four
signers of the Declaration of Independence,
four Presidents of the United States, three
Attorney Generals of the United States, one
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and
forty members of Congress had graduated
at William and Mary. The bill was de,

ABOUT CoRNs.-Corns are known
as hard and soft, but their difference
is entirely owing to the locality. Ifa
corn is situated between the toes,
where it is kept moist by perspiration,
it is of the soft variety; but if located
on the outside of the toe, where it
could get no moisture, it would neces.
sarily be hard. Corns are produced
by pressure or friction, and are simply
protective growth thrown out for
the purpose of preventing the tissues
being injured.


Corns are sufficiently painful at all
times, but they are most unbearable
when aa accumulation Of pus takes
place beneath them. The escape Of
this drop Of pus is prevented by the
hardened and thickened cuticle, which
must be poulticed or soaked in warm
water and then removed by sharp
pointed knife. The entire corn can
be taken out with a little care and
patient work without drawing drop
of blood.


The application of caustics should
be avoided in the treatment of corns,
especially in old people, as fatal gan
grenous Inflammation may be the re-
suit.


Temporary relief from a painful
sore corn may readily be obtained by
applying strong carbolic acid. Take
the cork out of small bottle Of car
bolic acid and apply it, the ccrk) to
the corn. Reliet will come at once,
and you will be enabled to walk with
comparative comfort till you can find
time to remove the corn with knife.


Hard corns may be treated as fol.
lows: Take thick piece Of soft leath-
er or felt; cut hole in the center.
Upon going to bed at night fll the
hole in the center Of the leather with
a paste made Of soda and soap; wash
it off in the morning, and repeat the
same process for several nights, and
the corn will be removed.

Burton and Jones lived in shanty
bv themselves. Jones was married
man, but finding it hard to support
his wife in down East village, he
had emigrated to Northern Minnesota,
leaving his wife under her fathers
roof, uptil he should be able to snake
start lie and Burton had gone
into partnership and had "pre-empted
a town site' of three hundred and
twenty acres.


There were perhaps twenty families
scattered sparsely over this town site
at the time my story begins and ends,
for it ends in the same week in which
it begins.


The partners had disagreed, quar-
relied and divided their interests
The land was all shared between them
except one valuable forty ocre piece.
Each of them claimed that piece of
land, and the quarrel had grown SO
high between them that the neigh
bors expected them to "shoot at
sight In fact, it was understood
that Burton was on the torty-acre
piece, determined to shoot Jones if he
came, and Jones had sworn to 60
out there and shoot Burton, when the
fight was postponed by the unexpect-
ed arrival of Jones wife and child.


Jones shanty was not finished, and
he was forced to torego the luxury OF
fighting his old partner, in his exer-
tions to make wife and baby comfort
able for the night. For the winter
sun was surrounded by "sun dogs
Instead of one sun there were four, an
occurrence not uncommon in this
latitude, but one which always bodies
a terrible storm.


In his endeavor to care for wife
and child, Jones was Modified little,
and half regretted that he lad been so
violent about the piece of land. But
he was determined not to be backed
down, and he would certainly have to
shoot Burton or be shot himself.


When he thought OF the chance Of
being killed by his old partner, the
prospect was not pleasant. He look
ed wisttully at Kitty, his two years
old child, and dreaded that she would
be left tatherless. Nevertheless, he
wouldn't be backed down. he would
shoot or be shot.


While the father was busy cutting
wood, and the mother was busy tther-
wise. little Kitty managed to get the
shanty door open. There was no
latch as yet and her prying little
fingers easily swung it back. A gust
CT cold air almost took away her
breath, but she caught sight of the
brown grass without, and the new
world seemed so big that the little

Threatens every man, woman or child living in a region of country where fever and agse is prevalent, since the germs of malarial dis ease are inhaled from the air and are swal- lowed from the water of such region.

Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria; but these are speedily rectif1ed by the Bitters. The functions of digestion and secretion are assisted by its use, and a vigorous as well as regular condi- tion of the system promoted by it.
