were printer boys together in the Herald

Fourth That he cest reflections on her

the garrison aud had insisted on his not
stopping at his place or holding religions
services there.
The fifth and sixth specifications cover
substantially the same ground.
Seventh, Reno said to Lieut.. Wallace
that Mrs. Bell had better cease fighting
him; her character was vulnerable and he
could easily blast it.
Eighth, Afterwards he publicly humil-
lated Mrs Bell by giving orders that she
should not play the organ at divine service,
and threatening to stop service if she were
allowed to play.
The prosecution called Mrs. Bell, Chap
lain Wainwright, Capt, Benteen, Lieut..
Wallace and others, and clearly estab-
lished each specification. The defense had
little evidence to offer, the accused not
being allowed to testify nor to produce
witnesses against Mrs. Bells character
Ex Gov. Davis summed up the case for
Reno and was answered by Barr, after
which the case was taken under advise
ment and the verdict will be forwarded to
army head quarters. The general opinion
is that Reno will be found guilty and dis
missed the service.

slight cough will throw it f, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this,
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act the liver, removing all Obstruc
tons relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon received.
Scheuck's Sea Weed Tonic is u gentle stimulant

slsts the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition. so that the food and the Pull
