In sieknt ss if a certain hidden nerve

may be a stomach nerve, or it may have

pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop's
Restorative was not made to dose the
stomarh or to temporarily stimulate the
heart or kidneys. That old faseioned
method is ail wrong. Dr. Siioop's lie
storative goes directly to these failing

of this prescription demonstrates the

MAN ON
THE
BOX
Benefit Play to be Given at
Opera House, Feb. 22
and 23
The officers of the ladies' improve
ment committee,under the indorsement
of the chautanqua board of directors,
to laise a sum of money to fix up an
athletic field lofore the June chau
tanqua assembly, upon the Chautauqua
grounds, merits the undivided support
of the citizens of this city and county.
It is wel* understood that the support
of the institution,and its maintenance
in the future, must come from this
locality, and without this support it
is only a question of time until this
great assembly must close. It is
doubtful whether we have iu our midst
any institution that has given to Madi
son, and Lake couuty, in the past
twenty years, more exclusive advan
tsges and advertising than that of our
chautanqua. Hundreds of men and
women, during the past years, repre
senting every field of scholarship,
lecture, the pulpit, bar, and othei pro
fessions, iia well as the arts, sciences,
music and the stage, have occupied the
platform of our chautanqua. Men and
women not only of high moral charac
ter and attainment, but coming from
every part of our own country, and
many from foreign fields.
Men [and women whom hundreds
would never have seen had not this in
stitution been located in our midst
Wnat has all this meant to our peo
pie It has given our city the distin
guished designation of the "chautau
qua city of the state. Every stranger
who has come among us has borne
away witn him the great possibilities
and future of this great commonwealth,
and especially this locality, and that
our people are not only progressive tn
spirit, but likewise anxious to bring to
our very doers the highest and best
moral cultare, scientific and artistic
thought of the day.
There is one feature in particular
concerning the improvement of the
chautauqua which many have thought
should be made more prominent, and
facilities supplied to meet require
ments, and that is the matter of ath
letics. This is designed especially to
make the coming session and future
ones more attractive to the young.
With this purpose in mind the ladies'
committee, after canvassing the prac
ticability of various schemes wberebv
to raise money, determined upon put
ting on a p'ay. the characters to be
taken by local talent. The putting on
of this play, "The Man on the Box" a
dramatization of Harold McGrath's
novel of the same natne is pnder the
supervision of Miss Pearl Smitb, of
Spring Valley. Minn., and has already
proceeded so fax in rehearsal that the
dates, Feb. 22d and 23d, next have batu
announced as the dates when the same
will be presented to the public in the
opera house in this city. Aside fiom
the play itself which presents many
scenes for high dramatic characteriza
tion, there will be a line of specialties
between »cts. The specialties will be
different each evening. The young
people, twelve in number, who take
pait in this entertainment are working
.with might and main to make it the

THOSE BONDS
Story
of the Famous
Carolina Bond
Case
North
Pierre, Feb. 15.—Toe defeat- in the
Sonth Dakota legislature of Senator
Dillon's bill to return to North Caro
lina 122.410 adds another chapter to
the famous oond case. It is likely,
however, that the tight will be re
opened at the next session.
The manner in which this fund got
into the state treasury of South Dako
ta'is one which dates back to the days
before the war. In 1859 the state of
North Carolina issued bonds to assist
in the construction of a railroad in
that state. The Btate took stock in
the road and turned the bonds over
to the promoters of the road to sell
for the purpose of raising funds for
the construction of the road, "aud
held the stock in the treasury.
In 18G7 it was desired to increase
the efficiency of this road, and the
Western North Carolina Railway com
pany was organized, and bonds issued,
backed by stock in the original road,
for the desired extension. About this
time the ''carpet bags" legislature of
North Carolina was in session, com
posed in largo majority of negroes,
and they issued bonds without limit,
and without any consideration what
ever. Practically all of these securi
ties were later repudiated by the state,
and others were compromised by the
payment of 25 cents on the face value.
Among the holders of North Carolina
securities were New York parties, who
held $2"»0,000 of the bonds isBiied to
build the Western North Carolina road,
and they refused to compromise. The
bunds lan along until a few years ago,
when suit was brought upon one of
the bonds in the United States su
preme court by South Dakota, and a
judgment secured.
The manner of the possession of this
bjnd by South Dakota goes back to the
legislative session of 1W01. At that
session a law was pass ad, which became
chapter KM of the laws of that session,
in which the governor of the state is
authorized to accept auy grants, gifts,
or donations of l»onds. secuiities or
other property given to the state, anu
the state is given the right to bring
suit to recover upon anj' such gift, the
payment for attorney services to a
contingent fee out of the proceeds of
any such suit.
Shortly after the passage of this
law there was tendered to Gov. Her
reid one bond of the Western North
Carolina railroad to the amount of
110,000, with accrued interest amount
ing to 127,000. This was accepted,
and R. W. Stewart, who was a mem*
l**r of the senate whicd enacted the
law, was employed as an attorney by
the state to prosecute the case in the
United States court, the suit by one
state against another being the only
manner of getting into court with
these bonds, as the state of North
Carolina does not have a statute
which allow* a private citizen to bring
suit against the state
The real purpose back of this suit ia
alleged to have been to establish the
validity of the bonds held by tne New
York syndicate, wbich was represented
by SimoD Shaffer, who donated the
bond to South Dakota. The court,
while holding the particular bond
held by South Dakota to be valid,
spoiled the intent of the suit by hold
iug that each one of the bonds was a
separate contract, and that separate
suit must be brought on tach bond.
Under this ruling,while judgment was
on the one bond, the others were in
the same condition as at the begin
niug and the N«w Yolk syndicate had
secured nothing but experience.
The supreme court gave this state
its judgment asked for, and the state
was given the right to foreclose on
stock on which the bond was issued,
but the state of North Carolina had
the option of paying the judgment in
steHd of allowing the foreclosure pro
ceeding, and took the option, paying
the amount due, out of which about
#5,000 attorney's fees were taken, and
the balance turned over to the state,
which has held it unappropriated since,
although the donor asked that it go
into the fund for the state university
or be used for some other educational
or charitable purpose. The agitation
and charge of "tainted money," wbich
has been attached to the fund, has
stopped the demand of the university
or auy other state educational institu
tion fcr a claim on it.
After the state hbd accepted the
bond donation other holders of North
Carolina bonds began to make offers
to the state if suit would be brought to
collect. A tender of $150,000 of such
securities was made to Ciov. Elrod,
which was refused. Another tender
of 11,000,000 was made to Gov. Craw
ford, which was also turned down.
While no offer has yet been made di
rectly to Gov. Vessey, a syndicate of
holders of such securities has been
tentatively tendered to the legislature
through letters to the effect that a half
million is to be had to be divided
among the diffeient educational insti
tutions of the state and to the state
fund itself if suit will be brought to
collect.
While the cash from the North Caro
lina bond was received by the state
some time in 1903, and was placed in
a special university fund, no legisla
ture has ever appropriated
to
soy
institution direct.
