A creditor without a Man on the fror erty cannot bring: llf to hot asjde a 'OBvoyancf by a debtor who has been Adjudged bankrupt. SALBM. Or.. April 10. (Speclal.)-The validity of the compromise lay which the C ounty Court of Multnomah County ac cepted $15,774.63 in settlement of taxes an'd penalties to the amount of $43,429.79. -was today upheld Joy the Supreme Court, and the suit brought by the county against the Title Guarantee & Trust Company to set aside the compromise and settlement was dismissed. The Supreme Court holds that the Coun ts Court had authority to make the com promise, aim that there being- no allega tion of fraud, and it being impossible to place the parties in statu quo, the .county has no right to rescind its action. The suit was tried in the court below by Judge J. B. Cleland, who rondered a decree In favor of the county. The opin ion reversing this decision was written by Justice Bean. The property assessed consisted of block ITS In Portland, and SO acres of land near the city, assessed to P. A. Marquam in ISM and to the trust company from "ISPS to 1S97. The land was sold for delin quent taxes in 1S99, and the county bought It. A suit was then brought by the trust company against the county to quiet title. The county won in that case, and the trust company appealed to the Supreme ourt. Pending the appeal, J. Thorburn Ross, who had succeeded to the title, of fered to compromise by paying $15,774,53, together with accrued costs, and to dis miss the appeal. The County Court ac cepted the offer, the money was paid and tne appeal dismissed. The compromise included an agreement that all taxes and liens prior to 1JKW should be canceled. Of the total amount, $25,130.13 was involved in the litigation, and the remainder was for taxes for subsequent 'ears, but In dis pute. This suit was brought in 1903, the coun ty contonding that the County, Court had no authority to make the settlement, that the compromise included taxes not in volved in the litigation then pending, and that the offer of compromise made by Ross contained statements that .were not accurate. Pacific Mill Co. vs. Inman-Poulsen. Pacific Mill Company, appellant, vs. In roan. -Poulsen & Co., respondents, from Multnomah' County. A. F. Sears, Jr., Judge; reversed and remanded; opinion hy Justice Bean. The Pacific Mill Company was a corpo ration in Hawaii with a capital stock of 512,000. In the Spring of 1901. an agree ment was entered into with Inman, Poul spn & Co., by which they agreed to take Si5,000 stock in the company and pay for the same with lumber, provided the stock should be increased to $50,000, of which $23,000 should be made up by bona fide subscriptions payable in monthly install ments rior to December 1. The agree ment also provided that the Pacific Mill Company should merge its planing mill into the new enterprise, obtain land lor a lumber yard and contract with a railway for delivery of lumber from the dock. The Hawaii company fulfilled all its agreements, except that some of the sub scriptions of the $23,-000 lot were not 'all fully paid as agreed. - Inman, Poulsen & Co. refused to ship lumber as agreed, al leging as a reason that the $23,000 sub scriptions had not been paid. This "suit "was then brought, and at the conclusion of plaintiff's testimony a nonsuit was granted. The Supreme Court holds that payment of the $23,000 stock was not a prerequisite to the delivery of the lumber and cannot be urged as a defense, hence the nonsuit should not have "been granted. Ryan vs. Galvin Matthew Ryan, resppndent, vs. Michael and Ellen Galvlnappellants. from Mult nomah County, MrC. George, Judge, af firmed: opinion per curiam. Ryan was a laboring man, 57 years old. and owner of property in Portland valued si $1800. After the death of his wife he hoarded with the Galvins, and later deeded to them his property upon the agreement that they would keep him until his death and then give him Chris tian burial. After 13 months Ryan left the Galvin home and brought this .suit to cancel the deed upon the allegation that defendants made their home unen durable to him. Both the lower court and the Supreme Court found that both parties were at fault, but since it is apparent that they cannot live together,' Ryan is K ranted cancellation- of his deed, but Is j-quired to pay for the maintenance re ceived. Wolfer vs. Hurst. George J. Wolfer. respondent, vs. W. S. Hurst and H. A. Hlnkle. appellants, from Marion County, George H. Burnett, Judge, motion to dismiss appeal denied; opinion y Justice Moore. The question presented was whether an appeal lies from the judgment ot a Jus tice's Court in an action of forcible entry and detainer. The Supreme Court ad mits th.at the right oftf appeal Is not free 1om dobut, but since the right can be Inferred from the statute, section 5754. of the code, and the cause of justice will be promoted by continuing the practice so long observed; the Supreme Court de clines to overthrow the long line of de- isions. upholding this right.

Most of these troubles are so unnecessary so easily cured it is 'wrong to let them continue. What reason can one find to hesitate? A trial of Liquozone costs liot a penny. We will gladly buy the first bottle for any new user, and pay the druggist our selves for it. Won't you If you need it accept that gift? Liquozone is not unknown now not un triod.

(Special.) j It Is Wrong now used by the sick of nine nations; by physicians and hospitals everywhere. It is dally used In millions of homes a America. Two Million Dollars Have been spent to make Liquozone known. We have bought the flr3t bottle and given it free to every sick one we learned of. The result is that one home in five, the country over, has some one whom Liquozone has cured. These homes are scattered everywhere. Your neighbors and friends live In some of them. If you will only ask what Liquo zorje does there are millions to tell you about it. v And we paid 3100,000 for the simple right to make Liquozone the American rights. The rights in other countries have sold for proportionate sums. We mention this fact to indicate the recognized value of Liquozone. Men have never before paid such a price for any discovery used In the cure of sickness. Before we bought LiquozonLC. we had It tested for years, through physicians and hospitals in this country and others. We had it employed In every stage of every germ disease; In thousands of the most difficult cases obtainable. For two years, in many a disease called Incurable, we proved that Liquozone did what medicine could not do. That was the reason for Its price. How Liquozone Cures. The greatest value of Liquozone lies in the fact vthat it kills germs in the body without killing the tissues too. And no man knows another way to do it. Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and it cannot be taken-internally. For that rea son, medicine is almost helpless In any germ disease. Liquozone is a "germicide so certain that we publish on every- bottle an offer of $1000 for a disease germ that it cannot kljl. Yet it Is not only harmless but'of Thermometers dropped below t&e freezing- point this morning, and a heavy white frost covered the valley, but beyond nipping a few early berries In exposed places and possibly thlnnlne out some of the peaches and cherries, fruitmen report no damage.

All that medicine can do for these trou bles Is to act as a tonic, aiding Nature to overcome the germs. But those results are indirect and uncertain, depending on the patient's condition. A cure is always doubtful when drugs are used, and some of these diseases medldne never cures. . Liquozone alone can destroy the cause of these troubles.
