THE DOHERTY CASE.

All the Testimony Submitted to the ParKe Circuit Court. The attorneys and witnesses in the case of Hurley A: Clodfelter against Sarah O. Doherty, et al, returned from Rockvtlle last night, the evidence in the case all being in. The arguments will not take place for some time yet. The case was interesting and in some features quite sensational. Brush & Snyder represented the plaintiffs and Crane A- Anderson and Hanna & Hanna the defendants. The suit was for $21,200, attorneys' fees, which the plaintiffs claimed was due them for prosecutiug and winning two suits against Messrs. Robb & Street, of Joplin, Mo., whereby the defendants in the present suit came into possession of 100 acres of lead bearing land, worth §1,000 an acre.

The plaintiff's testimony went to prove that no contract had existed between them and the Dohertys as to what should be paid for legal services They accordingly asked for SI,000 for collecting royalties, §200 for minor services, and 820,000 as being 20 per jent. of the value of the property won for the Dohertvs in the two suits. They claimed much time and labor had been expended by them and introduced P. S. Kennedy, Judge Thomas and James Sellar to prove "that 20 per cent, was not too much to ask.

The testimony of the defense went to prove that before the plaintiffs had undertaken the cases that a contract had been made which explicitly stated that thev should receive $2,000 if they won both suits and SI,000 if they won one. Further that the services of Missouri attorneys had won the suits. That after the trials in Missouri that M. E. Clodfelter rushed to Cincinnati where Surah O. Doherty was visiting her grand-daughter, Mrs. Tom B. Noble, and demanded SO.000 or a deed to 20 acres of the land, that he conspired with ^oble to bulldoze the old lady into giving the deed, stating that if she did not he would get the cases reversed and have Mat. and Marsh sent to prison.

Two letters from Noble to the Dohertys were introduced. One written juet b. fore Clodfelters visit cursed in a most outrageous manner and

cok

-luded by

advising Mat to tell "old Marks moaning Clodfelter) to go to hell where such impositor's belong." The second was written after Clodfelter's visit and the formation of the alleged conspiracy. The letter lauded Clodfelter to the skies, advised deeding him the 20 acres and concluded by saving "Old Marks is a plumb dandy." It hud been claimed by the plaintiffs that Mrs. Doherty deeded property in Crawfordsville to defraud them of their fees. It was proved by J. R. Hanna that he had mnde the deeds from a copy of one made by Clodfelter a year before when he had advised Mrs. Doherty to deed her property to her grandchildren in order to beat the creditors of Mat and

Marsh in case of her death. The copy was necessitated by an error in Clodfelters description of the property.

A WHITE CHRISTMAS.

Prof. Hicks Foretells a Month of Cold and Violent Storms. December will opeo to all the western and central parts of the country clearing and cold. Reactionary conditions will return, modifying the cold and resulting in rain and snow progressively from west to east from the 3rd to 5th. Cold will return close on the heels of the advancing rain, snow, and changing wind—early west—later east.

Let it be remembered that we enter the winter solstice perturbations about December 10th. This fact alone, as a rule, insures hard winter storms for several days following, but this annual condition this December is greatly intensified by the growing Venus period, and by a regular storm period from the 8th to 13th. Hard winter storms will rage on the seas, and sweep over the continents on and about the dates named. A cold wave, with much hard freezing to the northward, may be counted on iu connection with, and for days following these disturbances. About the 16th, the sev re cold may modify, beginning in the far west a day or so earlier, and causing in its eastward advance falls of rain and snow. A very marked fall of temperature will occur between these reactionary movements and the coming of the next storm period.

As we approach the 19th, unmistakable indications of active winter storms will appear. From the 19th to 23rd, inclusive, the storms will break—first in the west—later in the central partb, and later still in the extreme east. Rain, with bursts of lightning and thunder, especially to the south, will most likely occur, as results of the Venus equinox, which will be at its center on the 28th. Heavy snows turning to blizzards will sweep over the country to the north ward, and a general and intense cold wave will wind up the disturbances, insuring very cold weather about Christmas for most parts of North America. The 27th and 28th are central days of reactionary change, upon and about which sudden and extreme changes will be natural, aa Venus will be at the center of her disturbance ?n the 28th. December will go out in the midst of general cold. Boreas will have gotten we will have bowed to his frost Bcepter

WILHITL BURKE.

Two Well Know Young People Unite in Marriage Wednesday Evening. On Nov. 30 at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Burke, on south Grant avenue, Dr. R. J. Cunningham, of Center Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony which united the lives of Mr. Fred B. Wilhite and Miss Dora 1. Burke. The residence was decorated for the occasion with becoming tasciness and the perfume of beautiful (lowers tilled the rooms. The lights were shaded and the beautiful tints iu the several rooms were both delicate and effective. The shade in the ladies room was azure, and that of the gentlemen's scarlet. In the music room the prevailing color was yellow, crimson in the hall, green in the sitting room and rose pink in the dining room.

The curtains and mantels were all garlanded with ropes of smiiax and other graceful vines. Vases of chrysan themunis were displayed to an aesthetic effect and in the largo hall where the ceremony was performed the ilorist had banked palms and other potted plants in tropical profusion. Promptly at 8 o'clock Mr. Henry Ream, of DePauw

University, began playing the ever popular march of Mendelssohn and the bride and groom, unattended, descended the stairway on the east. Tliey pro ceeded to the middle of the hall and faced the south, Dr. Cunningham meeting them here performed the cere mony in a most impressive manner usin the ritual of the Westminister confession of faith. The bride, who is a beautiful young lady,was the picture of loveliness in a gown of white silk crepe trimmed in lace. She carried the customary bouquet of bride's roses. Immediately after the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room, where elaborate re fresliments were served, the favors be ing chrysanthemums.**? all colors. The tables were decorated with dowers an bronze candelabra with pink candles

After refreshments the guests extended congratulations and the evening pleasantly passed bv all. The presents to the bride were both numerous and handsome and made quite a beautiful display in the music roi Mr. and Mrs. Wilhite will take no wedding trip until later and will for the present be at home to their friends at the home of the bride's parents. A large number of friends unite in extending congratulations upon the happy marriage. Mrs. Wilhite is a beautiful young lady with many graces and has found for a husband a young man of many admirable qualities.

Improvements in a Saw Mill. The Crawfordsville Lumber Company is making extensive improvements at its mill. Among other things a new steel roof is being placed over the building and the circular saw is being displaced by a band saw. The band saw is now being used by all the larger mills of the country as it possesses many advantages over the old circular saw. It is aR much superior as the electric cars are over the horse cars on Btreet railroads. Besides an increased speed in sawing a great saving effected. It is estimated that in sawing 10.000 feet of lumber 1,000 feet can be saved, the kearf being less and not so much of the log going into saw dust. The Crawfordsville Lumber Company is one of oui thriving industries and Thk Joi'itNAi, notes with pleasure the improvements in progress.

Botable Nuptials.

Mr. Andrew Shay and Miss Lu Ally were happily and gloriously united in merry matrimony on Nov. 30. The bride is a popular and fascinating young lady, who enjoys the distinction of having attended for one year a lady's boarding school in Indianapolis which school is maintained by the State and admission to which is acquired only by a rigid examination before velve good men and true, who having heard the law and tho evidence render a true verdict as to the applicant's eligibility. It cost the happy groom two dollars to get the license, but Mr. Bull lvernoodle who swore to the aflidav:t states that any one not willing to come down to that extent to forward \he consummation of do mestic bliss has a very poor idea of the relative values of cash and social advancement.

The Mud Daubers.

On Nov. 30 Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Lee entertained tho Mud Daubers' club of 36 persons at tho home of R. B. Snyder, northwest of the city. The evening was most delightfully passed and from start to finish the fun waxed fast and furious. Elegant refresehments were served and all present were most hospitably entertained. During the course of the evening Mr. Snyder, who has just begun to realize to a certainty that Cleveland is safely elected, fired an anvil 36 times to tho inexpressible delight of the entire neighborhood. It was anything but a solemn occasion.

B, 120th Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, wiis held on Nov. 130 at the residence of Samuel Johnson, on Franklin street, it being the 28th anniversary of the battle of Franklin, a battle in which that regiment boro a conspicuous part. About twenty of the boys assembled at the court house at 11:30, where they formed and marched to the base of supplies. From the time of their arrival until dinner was announced at 1:30 the time was pleasantly spent living over the days of '01 and '65. Tho presence of Adjutant Abdill, now of Danville, 111., added pleasure to the occasion.

After the well tilled tables were surrounded 11. M. Ferry, in behalf of the host and hostess bade the boys welcome in a few neat remarks at the conclusion of which they dispatched the toothsome viands with zest and celerity. Short speeches were made after dinner by Capt. McClaskey, Capt. Elmore, Adjutant Abdill and others. It was decided to hold the next reunion at the residence of John W.

Bo Oalm, Children.

Be calm, childreu, be calm. You can still purchase your cheese sandwiches and apollinaris water without tho eyes of the scornful public resting upon you. In some way or other a great number of persons have como to believe that the proposed screen ordinance will compel to dispense with screens altogether. This is not the case. From 5 o'clock in tho morning of all week days until 11 at night the screens will be up as of vore. Screens must be removed only during those hours in which the sale of liquor is illegal.

Probably a Fake.

It has been rumored on tho streets to-day that Charley Bowers was qu'etly married Wednesday in a neighboring town. Ho left Saturday night for Chicago and has not yet returned. The rumor of his marriage is probably a groundless one.

Gone Glimmering.

Miss Laura Lursh left Wednesday on the midnight train for Lafayette where she will endeavor to secure a position iu a cracker factory. Highly sensational reports are alloat regarding her departure most of which should be taken with salt.

THE TRUTH OF IT.

ts There Any Limit to Human Endurance?

A Revelation Which Will Astonish Most People.

And Yet It Is In Reality Of Every Day Occurrence.

The following communication is from one of our correspondents, Mrs. Carrie E. Martin, a lady well known and highly respected and whooecupios a position of the highest social distinction in West Leydon, Mass. Her experience is of such a nature aud its importance lo ~.4 many is so great and far-reaching, that we give it to our readers in her own words: "Last summer I was all run down, had chills, no appetite, very little sleep nights and none dayB, faint spoils, tremfeeling and was so weak I could hardly walk around the room. I continued to run down in health and strength until 1. feared utter nervous prostration with its untold miseries.

UI

sent for our town physician aud he came a good many timee. I soon had to give up work entirely, still his medicines did me no good. I tried to ride out one morning, but went only a few rods and had to come home. My husband then went to church, leaving me, with the hired help and my children. Such a terrible day as I spent, tongue cannot describe. I conic! scarcely get from the couch to a chair! "When my husband came in from church I told him I was worse and that 1 would die if I did not get help soon that I would not take any more of the doctor's modicine but try Dr. Greene's

Nervura blood and nerve remedy, if he thought best. '•He advised me to try it and wont immediately and got a bottle which began to take up to this time we knew nothing of its value except as we had seen it advertised.

I1W. OA It nil-: B. MAHTIN.

"Ln the course of two days our family physician came in and saying that he found me about the same finally told me that lie had concluded to ask for counsal. He informed me that I might choose any doctor I preferred to meet him in consultation, "I said to him, 'then you consider me pretty badly off?' "He answered, 'I certainly do and shall not prescribe for you again until some other doctor sees you, as I do not know what to give you next.' "I then said to him, 'perhaps you will be offonded, but I have not taken any of your medecine for two days, but am taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.' "He answered, 'I am not offonded if it will help you I shall be very glad. You may continue

itB

use a week and

if no better, then we will have counsel.' "But at the end of the week I was better. In two weeks I was a good deal better, no chills, no faint feelings, could eat some and sleep quite weli. In three weeks I was around and about the house. In four weeks my hired girl left me and I wont to doing my own housework alone, and have since continued to do so with seven in family. "Since that time our family physician has advised its use from time to time, saying that it would keep up my strength better. He has advised others to take it, telling them of the good it did me, and to-day I have reason, yes, great reason, to thank God for my recovery, and through the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I arn only too glad to testify to its merits. God bless Dr. Greene and his wonderful modicine."

This remarkable remedy is purely vegetable and harmless, and can be pro-g cured at any drug store for $1.00 per bottle. Like the above able tind excellent physician, all doctors of high standing recommend the sick to use it, for it cures. Doctors prescribe and recoui-* mend it because it is not a patent medicine but a physician's prescription, the discovery of the eminent specialist. Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th street, New York, who is so wonderfully successful in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases, and who can be consulted free, personally or by letter.—Ewtoh.
