THREE SHORT OPINIONS.
Tbcy were Handed Down by Judge Arch
bald YeMcrday-Matlers That were
Passed Upon in Them.
Judge Archbald handed down three
brief but Interesting opinions yester
day morning. In the certiorari case
of William Hodby against Salvatoro
Magnotte and Antonio Pasco ho re
versed the judgment of the alderman
as to Magnotte and nffirmed It ns to
Pasco. Pasco Is a 17-ycar-old boy em
ployed by Magnotte as a driver. On
January 8, 1897, Pasco ran over and
damnged a bicycle belonging to Hod
by. Alderman Howe gave judgment
against tho mnstor and the employe
for tho amount of the claim $74.55. An
appeal wns taken and in passing upon
It Judge Archbald says:
Tho liability of the master to answer
for tho ncgllgenco of his employe Is not
ns a rule direct but consequential. It
Is true, If tho master was present at
tho tlmo and directed tho trespass to
bo committed, or subsequently assented
to what had been done, or If it was the
natural and probable result of orders
given by him, carried out by tlio servant
without negligence on his own part
trespass wilt lie. 1 Chltty. Pleading 180.)
But this Is highly exceptional and any
such unusual features, If they exist, being
essential to muko out u causo of nctlon,
must bo set forth. The record must Jus
tify Itself and show that, of which tho al
derman has Jurisdiction.
As it stands here wo have apparently
nothing more than tho ordinary ense
of a trespass by an employe for which
tho master would bo only Indirectly lia
ble, und wo nro not called upon to help
out the record by undisclosed possibili
ties that It was otherwise. With the
highest regard for the opinions ot tho
learned Judgo who decided tho caso of
Carlo vs. White, Haven Ins. CO. (4 Dlst.
reports, 229) so fnr ns It conflicts with
what Is thus said, we cannot follow It.
Tho Judgment as to Salvatorl Magnot
ta Is reversed; as to Antonio Pasco It
Is affirmed.
George F. Barber obtulned a judg
ment in Alderman Wright's court
against Elizabeth Beach. She wnnted
to appeal and had the nlderman muko
a transcript. She took tho transcript
and gave ball for tho costs and was
told by the nlderman that she had
nothing more to do. The alderman
meant that she had nothing more to do
as far as bis court was concerned. She
misunderstood him and neglected to file
tho transcript. When It was too lata
she discovered her error and applied
to court for permission to file the tran
script nunc pro tunc.
Judge Archbald refuses the petition.
She misunderstood and misapplied the
alderman's words, tho judge says, and
he cannot absolve hor from her error.
"It Is difficult to Impress the common
mind with the maxim that Ignorance;
of tho law excuses no one and njtalnst
tho many attempts to escape this re
sponsibility the courts are compelled
to resolutely set thenn elves," Is one of
the passages of the opinion.
In pffslnir upon the certiorari case
of Isnne Staples against Julius Fried
man, Ills Honor deals In a little sar
casm at the expense of Justice of tho
Peace John F. Atkinson and Constable
Mlchaol Moran, of Carbondale,
Staples Is a wholesaler ot Stillwater.
Minn. Friedman Is In business In For
est City. On motion ot H. O. Watrous,
attorney for the defendant, 'Squlro At
kinson quashed a short summons tak
en by Staples on the ground that he
was a non-resident und had given no
security for costs. Afterwards tho
'squire changed his mind and gave
Judgment for the plaintiff.
Tho transcript of the proceedings de
scribing how the change of mind cc
cutred reads thus: "M. Moran, the
constable who servsd tho summons,
swoin, and claims for plaintiff that the
debt Is Justly due and owing and that
no part of It has besn paid, whereupon
Judgment Is publicly enteted for plain
tiff und ns against defendant for $270.
10 and costs of case. John F, Atkin
son, Justice of tho peace."
As to what moved the Justice of the
peace to change his mind the Judge is
ut a loss to say but ho supposes It
was "the persuasive oath of Consta
ble Moran." "It would have been bet
ter." the Judge goes on to ray. "If he
nnd adhered to his original mind, for
now 1 am compelled to reverso him."

Some people in the world persist in
clinging to old methods. There are men
who still use a forked stick In place of a
modern plow. There are also men, who,
when they nre troubled with a disordered
stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned
violent remedies that rack and rend the
whole body, and while they give temporary
relief, in the long run do the entire system'
a great amount of harm.
Modern science'has discovered remedies
infinitely superior to these old-fashioned
drugs, that do their work by promoting the
natural processes of excretion and secre
tion and gently correcting all circulatory
disturbances. When a man feels generally
out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night,
when he gets up headachey and with a bad
taste in his mouth in the morning, when he
feels dull and lethargic all day, when his
appetite is poor and his food distresses
him, when work comes hard and recreation
is an impossibility, that man, though he
may not believe it, is a pretty sick man
He is on the road to consumption, nervous
prostration, malaria, or some serious blood
disease. In cases of this description a man
should resort at once to Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It is the best medicine
for a weak stomach, impaired digestion
and disordered liver. It is the great blood
maker and purifier, flesh-builder and nerve
tonic. It cures o3 per cent, of all cases of
consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs
andt kindred ailments. Thousands have
testified to its marvelous merits. It is
a modern, scientific medicine that aids
without goading nature, and that has stood
the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers
sell it.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.
