F. Stirman. The trial in the damage suit of Finis Barnett against the city of Owensboro was begun in circuit court yesterday and the testimony for the plaintiff about completed when court adjourned in the afternoon. Barnett is a negro and was for a long time employed by the city in the street department. About a year ago while working in a ditch in Phillips court, he was seriously injured in a cave-in.

He alleges that he wras permanently injured and asks for damages in the sum of $5,000. Shortly after the trial of the case was gone into, the city moved to file, as a set-off, a statement of money paid Barnett after his injury. The city offered to show that Harnett's regular scale of wages had been paid him for a period of twenty-seven weeks after he was injured. Attorneys for Ihe plaintiff objected to the filing of the set-off, stating that no claim was made in the petition for time lost from work as the result of the injuries, and served notice that if the city was permitted to lile its set-off. they would ask permission to file an amended petition, asking judgment for a sum large enough to include the amount lost to Harnett by reason of his being unable to work.

Judge Birkhead overruled the city's motion to file setoff. The case is being conducted for the plaintiff by Baega Clements and Ben D. Ringo and George W. Jolly is conducting the defense for the city. The case of Beatrice Crow against the Owensboro Automobile company was tried out and resulted in a verdict for the defendant.

The plaintiff claimed damages in the sum of $175 on teh allegation that her horse was frightened and made to run away by an automobile belonging to the defendant company.

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a person's stomach is out of order and most foods cause trouble. food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of the people is valuable to anyone interested in foods.

A Terre Haute woman writes: 'I had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid lever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach 1 would wish 1 had never had to eat anything. I was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more, but I can it at any time and feel nourished and satisfied, dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and 1 am now strong and well. husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to any work.

He was put under "a doctor's care, but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts. It was positively surprising to see the change in him. He grew better right off and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts. "Our boy thinks he can not eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars at school comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combines with albumen to make the gray matter to daily refill the brain and nerve centers.

It is a pity that people do not "know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who give their youngsters almost any kind of food, and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without medicine and expense. DArilAG of Old Age Mr. W.

A CLEANLY AUK Twentieth Century Ideas Incline Toward Sanitation and Preventatives Nowadays scientists believe that in cleanliness lies the secret of prevention of diseases. To prevent a disease, remove the cause.

Just as unclean habits breed many diseases, so careless habits will breed dandruff. Improper use of another's brushes, cojnbs, will surely cause dandruff, and, in time, will just as surely cause baldness. It's microbic infection, nothing more nor less.

OWEXSRORO MERCHANTS WISE Representative of Cincinnati House Is Attempting to Locate Fred Ackart, The Lillian Coal company, of Horse Branch, appears to be one of the sort "that never was, on land or sea." and several wholesalers and jobbers have learned this to their sorro.v. These houses claim that they have been stuck to the tune of several thousand dollars by shipping goods to the Lillian Coal company, or its president and general manager, Fred Ackart. It is claimed that the goods were never paid for and that Ackart, immediately upon receiving them, re-shipped them to the Indian territory and disappeared himself.

A repre sentative of a Cincinnati firm, is in Owensboro making investigations looking to the apprehension of Ackart. The Owensboro merchants were wise enough to steer clear of Mr. Ackart, although they were honored with his orders. Fake Coal Company. Early in August, the organization of a new coal company at Horse Branch began to be exploited.

Newspapers throughout the West Kentucky coal region published long notices of it. Letters, on handsomely printed letter heads, were received by business men all over Western Kentucky, in Louisville, Cincinnati and Louisville. The name of Fred Ackart appeared -on the letter heads as president and general manager. About September 15, the announcement was made that the organization of the company had been completed, leases secured cn several thousand acres of coal lands contiguous to Horse Branch and that tha company was ready to begin business. A large general store was to be maintained.

A few days later, merchants began to receive orders for goods. At least one Owensboro department store received an order for a large bill. At about the same time, a wholesale grocery in Owensboro received an order. They made some investigations and found that other orders had been placed in several other cities. They found out some other things as well, and declined to ship.

Merchants in other cities, however, did fill orders from Ackart. From Cincinnati alone he received goods to the value ot $3,000. Goods Sent To Horse Bvanch. These goods were delivered to Ackart at Horse Branch, and it is said that he immediately re-shipped them as household goods to some point in the Indian territory. One of the Cincinnati houses became suspicious, set about recovering its goods and came within twenty-four hours of catching them at the destination in Indian Territory.

They had, been delivered and no trace of them could be found. It is supposed that Ackart is with the goods. Ackart was in business in Ohio and Muhlenberg counties for several years. At one time, he was in business at Beech Grove. For some time he conducted a small store at Central City.

This was burned several months ago and an insurance policy collected on it. Immediately after the burning of his store, he set about organizing, or pretending to organize, the Lillian Coal company. The representative of the Cincinnati who is in Owensboro, believes that- he has facts in his possession that will lead to the apprehension of Ackart. AVill Re-enlist. Sergeant Jesse Buford, of Company Twenty-first infantry, located at Prt Logan, Colorado for some time, has rettirned home, his enlistment having expired.

Sergeant Buford has served in various parts of the world and expects to re-enlist at the local recruiting station. THERE IS CHARACTER IX THESE MEDICINES. Do you ever stop to think what is back Of the medicines you use and of what reason you have for relying on them. Some patent medicines are not scientific, and on the other hand many doctors' prescriptions are only experiments. In contrast with these you have the great prescriptions of Dr.

A. W. Chase, a famous Receipt Book author. These family medicines should not under any circumstances be contused with the ordinary patent medicines, for they are made up from' the prescriptions which the celebrated' doctor found to be most successful in his extensive and varied practice. They are backed by the same skill and integrity of character that has won the confidence of the people everywhere, who have become familiar with his famous" Receipt Book, the most widely circulated book of receipts ever published.

What better guarantee could any medicines have? What medicines have ever proven so successful in the cure of disease? It is only necessary to be sure you find the portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D-, on the box you buy. M'LEAN COUNTY UNION.

F0RJ3.000 SUIT IS FILED AGAINST THE L. H. ST. L. RAILROAD.

D. C. Herron Alleges He Sustained Injuries When He Left Train Near Hawesville. Mr. D.

C. Herron, the well-known 1 timber man of Irvington, has filed a suit at Hardinsburg against I the Louisville, Henderson St. Louis railway company for $3,000 for personal injury, says the Hawesville Clarion. The suit was filed last week and it is based on an alleged injury Mr. Herron sustained at Hawesville on Thursday, October the 3rd.

when he took passage on defendant's train from Owensboro to Hawesville. When the train reached this point it seems that Mr. Herron was asleep, and alleges that the conductor, whose du-, ty it was, failed to arouse him, until after the train had pulled nearly out of town, when he was apprised of the fact that he should get off. Not being thoroughly awake, Mr. Herron i says he was under the belief that he was at the Hawesville depot and he stepped off on what he thought was the platform, only to alight, or rather fall, on a lot of rock riff-raff in the upper edge of town where the train had stopped to let him off.

In the fall that followed Mr. Herron says he sustained great and painful injuries and sprains, and asks for the above amount. The train upon which he was a passenger is what is known as the cannon ball, and it arrives here now before daylight, hence he was unable to see where he was being discharged.
