rVnnther case urinliig from tho disposition
ot tho Hallard property Is uii trial betoro
Judge Thornell of tho district court. The
case, that of H.illard agilnst Hunter, comes
from Atlantic, Casa couuly, where a partial
hearing wns held several ueoks ago boforu
Judgo Thornell and Involves laud whkh Is
estimated to bo worth about $25,000.
In 1SS3 O. it. Hallard died, leavlug a largo
amount of property, most of which was In
fnrm laud ln Cass and Audubon countloi.
Thero aio two frtiuis, olio of 3,100 ncrcB and
tho other 100 .ltib. After tl.o d.-ath of the
fnthir tho property ln tho natural course of
oentn descended to tho children, who (lid not
succeed In keeping hold of It. They deeded
It away and tho suit now n trl.il la to do
termlno tho validity of theso dcods.
In 1S8S O. C. Hallard, one nf tho sons,
deeded two-thirds nf his Interest In theso
farms to Scnoca S. Howard, his uncle. The
claim Is now made that Hallard, when ho
signed tho deed, was under the Inlluenco of
drink and did not fully realize the Import of
tho transaction. Two years later ho was In
dicted on tho charge of burglary And need
ing funds to defend himself ho consulted an
attorney, who Instituted a suit to have tho
deed to Howard sot asldo on the grounds
that ho was a minor and drunk as well, and
consequently unable for theso two reasons to
execute n valid deed.
John Hunter now appears as tho owner of
all tho property, claiming to havo deods from
1hrco of the holrs, O. C. Hallard, who rold hit
share for $S00; Kato Pattoc, who parted with
hers for Jl,-uu. ami iirno wo muviz, who r-

threo heirs now claim, however, that the
deeds wero given with tbo understanding
Hunter and recelvo back their shares In the
property. Judgo K. H, Wlllard of Atlantic
and Theodore F. Myers of Audubon are look
ing nftcr the interests of tho plaintiffs, while
the firm of Follett & Graham ot Atlantic ap
pears for Hunter.

I twU Carpenter of fleartly, Kamai, formerly of Parsons, makes the following statement 1 My daujhter. Carrie, now fifteen year,
of atfe. had her first menstrual period over two and onchalf years ago. We used all the family remedies we could get hold of, but with
the assistance of doctors did not succeed in establishing or ever bringing about another menstrual period. Last January I procured
bottle of Wine of Cardui of Quarlu & Co.. and after taking less than one-thlrd of a bottle she Is set right and has regular menses. Thl
testimony Is gladly given without solicitation. It
Few parents give sufficient attention to their daughters when they approach the age of puberty. Just
emerging from girlhood into womanhood the changes which take place are important. If passed successfully
a healthy and happy life will almost certainly follow. Wine of Cardui used just before puberty helps the girl
through the trying or leal and smooths the entire path of womanhood. In many women delayed or disor
dered menstruation a' nubertv is the nrimatv cause of life-lone illness. Wine of Cardui is the best aitl to
