RUSSO-TDRKISH
s
WAR OUTLOOK
PROBABLE THAT HOSTILITIES
WILL COME THIS YEAR.
NEITHER HAVE MONEY
Looks Like a Windy Battle, But Great
Preparations Are Being
Made.
The alarmist reports of the possl
bllity of hostilities between Russia
and Turkey, which llave permeated all
strata of Kusslan society, have as
sumed the proportions of a veritable
war scare, to which the sensational
press is devoting its biggest headlines.
The situation is taken seriously, not
only In military circles, but also by
conservative' politicians. M. Gutch
ko, leader of the majority of the Dou
ina, announced his intention of raising
at the next meeting of the committee
of national defense the question of the
nation's readiness for war. This, he
believes, is of the most vital import
ance, in view of the news from the
Caucasus and all parts of Europe. He
also purposes to Interpellate the Min
ister of Communications on the ability
of the railroads, particularly In the
Caucasus and Trans-Caucasia, to trans
port troops v quickly to the southern
and southwestern frontiers.
Reports have been received from
Armenia that all the Turkish army
reserve forces in Van, Mush and other
vilayets of Asia Minor, have been
called to the colors and are departing
rapidly for the frontier. At the same
time a league of the Turkish Revolu
tionary' party is increasing the revo
lutionary agitation.
Appeals and proclamations are be
ing Issued exhorting the population
to protest in every way possible
against the warlike plans of the Sul
(. The league holds flint var would
be especially disastrous at this time,
as there is a famine ia Asia Minor.
At Tifllc the apprehension of hos
tilities has not abated. The Russian
military authorities havo ordered that
all horses in the Caucasus available
for military purposes be registered.
The doctors of Tlflis held a meeting
recently and volunteered their ser
vices in case of war.
The concentration of Turkish le
serves on the Persian und Russian
frontiers In Asia Minor, is ai out
come of the border difficulty with Per
sia. Recently Turkish troops crossed
the Persian frontier in the '.leinlty of
Urumiah and committed depredations.
To this Russia, under her treaty ob
ligations to Persia, objected and began
the concentration of a strong force on
the frontier of the Caucasus. This
show of military activity was thought
to have been sufficient to put a stop
to the Turkish aggression, and the
Russian movement was said to 'iave
been discontinued.
If the reports from Armenia are
true, the difficulty in Asia Minor,
which is closely connected with the
railroad aspirations of the powers in
the Balkans, may assme serious im
port. NOT INCOMPETENT
SAYS JUDGE DIMICK.
Refuses to Appoint Guardian Over C.
F. Vonderahe Danger Lurks In Pol
icy of Relatives If the Aged Wish
to Give, It's Their Privilege.
A case that has attracted much at
tention lately was given a decision
by Judge Dimick, in which he scores
the policy of relatives whenever they
so desire to have guardians appointed
over their aged parents, and denies
such petiton in the case of C. F. Von
derahe,but granted the appointment
of a guardian over the estate.
A son of the elderly gentleman, C.
V. Vonderahe, tried to obtain an in
junction restraining Mrs. Trullinger
from associating with his father and
alleged that she had used the cup of
deception, all spiced and tempered to
her liking, with telling effect, until the
purported fortune of some twenty
five thousand was almost within her
reach. This Injunction was denied,
and the application for the appoint
ment of Frank Jaggar as guardian of
the estate of Mr. Vonderahe was filed.
Judge Dimick defines his authority
In the decision in the following terms:
The jurisdiction of the County Court
in making an order for the appoint
ment of a guardian of the person de
pends upon the question of whether
the subject is jnsane, and as to what
constitutes an insane person. The
evidence before the court must justify
the appointment of the guardian asked
for, and the petition of C. W. Vonder
ahe fails to state that C. F. Vonder
ahe Is incapable of caring for himself.
It appears that the subject of this pro
ceeding is somewhat afflicted with se
nility, which is necessarily incident to
old age, but not to such a degree as to
lender him incompetent to transact
ordinary business or to properly care
for himself. Drs. Carll and Hewitt,
alter an examination, reported to-the
court that Vonderahe was not Insane,
but, on the other, hand, was far more
intelligent and capable of conducting
bis own business and caring for him
self than the majority of persons of
his age. The true condition of Mr.
Vonderahe's mental faculties and his
capacity for transacting business was
evidently recognized by the petltoner,
as a few weeks prior to the beginning
of the hearing Mr. Vonderahe appoint
ed a new financial agent and execut
ed instruments transferring large
amounts of property to a trustee,
which they would not have permitted
him to do had they not known that he
was mentally responsible and legally
capable of doing so.
"It is the policy of all courts to pro
tect the property interests of all citi
zens when they are Incapable of pro
tecting their interests themselves, but
it Is a dangerous policy to allow rela
tives, whenever they so desire, to
have guardians appointed over their
parents for the sole purpose of prohib
iting them from disposing of their es-

JOHN J. TOBIN, Proprietor
tates, by real gift or otherwise.
"In this case, Mr. Vonderahe has a
large estate, that he feels he is able
to handle himself, and has asked the
court to appoint a guardian for that
purpose, and under all the 'circum
stances I am inclined to believe that
justice would be better subserved If a
good, competent guardian were ap
pointed to look after and care for hla
estate, and thus relieve him of that
care.
"There is no necessity for the ap
pointment of a guardian over his per
son, for the reason that he is not in
sane, nor would his condition come
under any of the definitions of the
kinds of insanity defined by section
5290 of the Code."

A HOME MADE REMEDY
Hundreds of People In Vicinity Here
Will Welcome This Advice, Says
Local Drugist.
What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York dally paper, giving
a simple prescription, as formulated
by a noted authority, who claims that
he has found a posltve remedy to
cure almost any case of backache or
kidney or bladder derangement, in
the following simple prescription, if
taken before the stage of Brlght's dis
ease; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take In teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good prescrip
tion pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic afflic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul ac
ids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis
take in giving It a trial.

Intention of the society to have some
one give a talk on "The Culture of

condition to get large and perfect
blossoms.
Letters, asking information, If ad
dressed to the president, Mrs. Jennie
B. Harding, or the secretary, Mrs.
Roslna Fouts, will receive prompt at
tention. Meetings will probably be held In
the afternoon in the future, so that
out-of-town members can attend. The
dues are nominal, 25 cents a year, so
that every person can become a mem
ber. It is hoped by the society to have
a very large membership, thereby In

A REMEDY FOR NEURALGIA OR
PAIN IN THE NERVES.
For neuralgia and sciatica Sloan's
Liniment has no equal. It has a
powerful sedative effect on the nerves
penetrates without rubbing and
gives Immediate relief from pain
quickens the circulation of the blood
and gives a pleasant sensation of com
fort and warmth.
"For three years I suffered with
neuralgia in the head and Jaws,"
writes J. P. Hubbard, of Marietta, S.
C, and had almost decided to have
three of my teeth pulled, when a
friend recommended me to buy a
twen-five-cent bottle of Sloan's Lini
ment. I did so and experienced im
mediate relief,. and I kept on using it
until the neuralgia was entirely cured.
I will never be without a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment In my house again. I
use It also for insect bites and sore
throat, and I can cheerfully recom
mend It to any one who suffers from
any of the ills which I have men
tioned." Just because the devil is always por
trayed as a man, some women look
with suspicion on every male person
they meet.
