one or tlio most genenlly commented
upon of It lint of Mi. Ellen O'Don

conversation. The leiult of this con
versation was that Mr. Breck agreed
to deliver the propel ty to Mis. O'Don
nell fot $10,000.
She gave him $M0 to cairy on the
c"nl but tlie very day that pho paid
this money sho leuined from one of
the Mcnlcs heirs, whom she net on
tlio sureet, that the property was on
the inniket for $14,500. Returning to
Mr. Bieck's office ihc demanded the re
turn of lier $300 paying, as phe nl-1og.-d
at the trial, that Mr. Breck had
not dealt with her In good faith. There
was n Ions wrangle, It appears, and
It wound up by Mr. Breck oiferitn; and
Mis. O'Donnell accepting $200 "In full
- settlement for all claims mi to date."
Hlie averred at the trial that sho gae
Mr. Breck to understand that she sign
ed the receipt under compulsion and
vvwulil follow him for the other S-'IO.
CONTENTION OP THfi DEFENSE.
The defeiT-e was that Mrs. O'Donnell
engaged the leal ostato linn of which
Mr. Breck Is the senlot pat met, to ta
ctile for her the piopeity In question,
she agreeing to pay $lfi,00t for It They
bought the property and accepted from
i her S'.OO to bind the bargain. It was
ilenle I that Mts. O'Donnell signed tho
icplpt under compulaInr. or that she
threatened to follow him for the re
mainder of the $."00" and It was con
tended that the flun acted simply ns
lfnl estate dealers and not that one of
Its members acted ns Mis. O Donnell's
altornevs, as she alleged
The verdict of the lower court was
for he plaintiff and the decision of the
supeilor couit afllrms the llnulng.
The case of Barnes against the Bonta
(ila s compai y, appellant, Is one of un
tiittil liupoitince UHa dozen other cases
lest upon the outcome. It was. a suit
for wages brought by Vx E. Barnes
against the Bonta Plate Glass torn
pnny. The judgment of the local cotut
was for the plaintiff and the .supeilor
court refuses to disturb it.
In Jt.94 J W. Bonta made a contract
with the Berlin Iron liildge companv
to elect the lion work of the compnnj' i
building. He hired men to work on th
building on Jobs not included in the
.(ontract with the Berlin lion Bridge
Icompnny. The plaintiff, Baine, vxn.i
one 6f these men.
The company defended on the
('rounds that It had nothing whatever
to do with the construction of the
building, that Bonta was to ercit It
ard turn it over to the lompuiiy fieo
tiom all lncumbeiance' It appeals
tluit the secietnry of the company wns
In evidence more or lets dining the
erection of the building and the jutv
took It that his "silent coiulii't" misled
the ninn into believing that the Hntitu
Plate Glass compan would be it spon
sible for the work they wie engaged
in, and on this account, it was found
that the company was i (.sponsible.
The supeilor couit affirmed this llndlng.
DISPUTE BETWEEN' PARTNERS.
One of the various suits glowing out
of the dissolution of the firm of Gllmore
Duffy was also passed upon. It was
that Jn which the film was plalntllf,
nominally, but A. G. Gllmore, actually,
and Maigaret Dunleavv defendant
The leal content, as is all the other
eases wus between the ox-p.irtneis.
Mis. Duuleay had a. running u count
with the linn and was In the lubit of
linking pniiodlcal pajment.s to either
or both of them When the dissolution
came she owed $850. Th.s she paid to
Mr Duffy by check. Mr. Ollmoit whe,
b the tcims of dissolution, was com
. missiomd to collect all tin outstand
ing debts, bi ought suit tc rccoer the
money a second time from Mis. Diin
havv. lie secured judgment in the
loeil coutt and the supeilor tout ul
iltmcd the finding.
It Is alleged In the par or book of the
appelke, that the check paid to Mr.
Duffy has never been cashed Mr.
Dulf In answer to this denjul that
.'l Gllmole was alone entitled to ml.
lect the debts of the firm, that Gll
inoie was collecting the money, and
applying it to his own uses and 'that
he 1'iul.v upon the lccelpt of the Dun

Nation il hank of Plymouth, to be ap
plied on a not of $t,7U0 for which the

The small ninount of $10 was the
mnttor at issue In the case of Edward

hitter was constable of the Second
ward. He refused to serve a writ for
tlio plaintiff and the case, a $10 one,
went by default. He then sued Davis

of his lemaiks.

"We may tiy winds of length nnd
xxonbs that jingle, still we shall be
sLi rounded by increased poverty. It
was In the year of Felnunry, 18SC, Miss
W'lllard said: 'Puitles aie like xvhlrl

hopeful that the causo which she es

"Miss Wlllaid believed In first bulk,

AVo believe that the principle upon
which Miss Wlllnrd worked was that
xxhlch taught her hoxv to slumber In
the security of God's love, to eat nnd
drink xxlth a sense of the Divine pres
ence, bathing her In blessing and en
abling her In whatsoever sho did to do
It to the gloiy of God; a principle
which demanded the whole of her na

Strong men often dlo enrly, not because
their vital forces uio exhausted, but be
causo they nbuso their powers, wasto
their energies and bleak doxvn their con

gained a lemaikable degree ot health and
vlaor. borne interesting examples ot this

which are tho following.

The Horrors of
Rheumatism.
A zvomcirts account of torture xvhich lasted three
v years; of her struggles against the dreadful disease
and the good fortune that cronvned her efforts.
Such suffering as rheumatism causes the
victims upon whom it fastens itself is al
most unendurable
Sufferers from the worst types of this ter
rible disease will supply the missing hor
rors in the following; story from real hfe.
Those who writhe under milder forms
of rheumatism will be able to imagine the
feelings of the tortured victim.
The only justification for making public
such heart-rending details is the fact that
the lesson taught will be helpful to others,
pointing the way to renewed life and health
to every sufferer from rheumatism.
The story is told by a woman. Her
name is Mrs. Caleb Fenlyj she lives in
SU Paul, Ind.
This is her account:
"I am a farmer's wife. I believe my
frequent exposure to the weather caused
my terrible attack of rheumatism. Damp
weather always aggravated it.
"My limbs would begin to swell at the
ankle joints.
"This swelling would begin in the night,
at times. I would awake in agony.
"Daylight would find my limbs purple
in color, swollen to twice their natural site,
and so racked with pain I could not bear
to touch them.
"My right arm and both legs were so
drawn as to be almost useless.
"My skin became dry and yellow.
"At times my limbs would pain as
though millions of needles were pricking
them. ,
"Again they would be numb and I

could not feel a needle thrust into my flesh.
"I was confined to the house thre
years, unable to walk nearly half the time.
" After those three slow years of agony,
during which I spent probably $2,000 for
treatment and tried a dozen doctors, I gavs
up hope oi any release from pain, but death.
"I was cured, completely cured, by Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They
alone caused my recovery.
" The first dose gave me appetite.
"After the second dose I slept soundly,
the first time within a year.
" I sent for a doen boxes. By the time
I had taken the contents of eleven boxes I
felt entirely well.
" The doctor said I was cured. He was
greatly impressed, and since then he has
prescribed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People for many of his patients."
Mrs. Fcnly, together with her husband,
made affidavit to the exact truth of the fore
going account before Notary P. N.Thomas.
The cure of the severest cases of rheu
matism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People has occurred in every state in
the Union, and its power in ordinary cases
is proportionately greater.
These marvelous vegetable pills go di
rectly to the seat of the trouble. They
build up a new cellular structure in the
diseased parts by eliminating poisonous
elements and renewing health-giving
chemical forces in the blood.
They are for sale by druggists every
where i for 50 cents a single box or $250
for half a dozen.
