Tha United Theaters company It one of the names under which Messrs. Sullivan and Conaldlna do business. Tha attorneys for tha defendants repre sent In thalr motion that their clients are Incorporated In Maine and legally reside there and that Messrs Johnson and Blls live in Nebraska. Therefore, says the motion, the contest Is between cltlsens ef different states and as such should ba heard by a United States court. Another argument la that the amount Involved la over 2,000, and this Is ordinarily a good ground for removal in such cases. A bond for removal ia likewise filed In tha office of tha clark of district court. Tha original Injunction proceedings were to have been heard before Judge Eatelle tha coming Saturday. ter of liability. The question Involved Is whether the railroad la responsible for the death of stock It is shlapng when the stock Is under care of a man sent by the ahipper, and providing, as alleged, that the care taker hlmaelf waa negligent.

Two young women sat alone In a resi dence near tha Field elub. It was of course a dark aad storm-disturbed night, the kind of weather which gives young feminine things that creepy, eerie feeling. "Are you frightened, dear?" they asked each other, and each denied It. Never theless as the storm howled they snuggled a little closer. There came a lull In the storm. Thsn they heard all those strange sounding, mys terious noises of night time which so upset a nervous soul. 1 After a period of quiet came loud crack ing sound like the noise of a discharged revolver. The shot seemed to have bean fired In I tha back of the house. Rushing to the front door they screamed together. The father-in-law of ona of the young women heard the frightened cry from hla-, home next door and rushing over valorously made hla way to the back of tha house. A dreadful sight met his eyes In the kitchen. 1 A bottle of one-time unfrrmented wine had been working and the celling and walls were now covered with what looked Ilka gore. The oork had blown out.

William Lampman, an employe in the Office of Treasurer Furay, has preferred a claim against the city for 3i Back of the claim la an Interesting chain of cir cumstances.

Mr. Lampman be came informed of this fact, and, having two small children, ha hesitated to move In. While standing in fear of possible In feotlen he found himself out a month's rent. This money ha wishes tha city couholl to reimburse him. Tha Lampman claim raises a nice legal question, say the men of law. As one ax pressed It: "There Is something new under the sun always cropping out in legal practice. Now hare's a question the exact like of whlcl. probably has never appeared before anj council or court in this section.

It still enjoys an immense sale, while most of the preparations that hav come into promi nence in the earlier period of its popularity have "jone by the board" and are never, more heard of. There, must be some reason for this lonjj-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while score of less meritorious articleo have uddenly flashed into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten.
