WHAT is THE GRIP?

This Mysterious and Terrible Disease Care
fully Analysed and Described-What to
Do When 1t Comes.
Nearly every physician. every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great
question:: What is the grip? Some have as
serted that 1t is a dangerous microbe which
comes into the system. breeds several millions
every second, and soon overruns the body with
disease. Others have said that we are passing
! through a region Of star-dust, and that the
minute particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be, 1t is certain
that it is something within the body which is
fighting with the body to undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate In such
an emergency Counteract the enemy. Drive
it from the system. Do not trif1e with 1t. Act
promptly and wisely at the first approach
which you can readily detect Take something
which can counteract their deadly influence.
and whiskey Is preferable to any other kind Of
spirit; but it should be borne very carefully in
mind that only pure whiskey Will nave the
effect, and it should also be remembered that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey stands at the head
of all preparations and is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market Scientists nave as
serted this, the doctors have verified 1t, and
millions of people have proven it beyond
doubt. There are many unscrupulous dealers
who will assure you that any wnlskey Will
answer the purpose, but they are wrong and
are trying to deceive you. In case OF Grip you
cannot afford to take any chances, therefore
take that which is beyond question pure,
medicinal and the only valuable Whlskey upon
the market.

formed or expressed an opinion, and could
make up verdict according to the EVIL
dence.
To Col. Arnett-Mr. Foster said he had
seen Dr. Baird on the street, but did not
know Dr. Garrison by sight. Il guess Ed
understand the evidence: I've been here
about forty years.
The Court here called UP counsel, and
said if they wanted TO object to the iur-
ors, they might do it privately. The de-
Tense, thus invited, at once objected to both
VIM. Smith and VIM. Fisher, and the rec
ord of their answers to questions was read.
The jurors were adjudged to stand fair, TO
which the defense objected
Albert Snedeker qualified very quickly.
He knew DR.. Baird when he saw him, but
did not know DIR. Garrison by sight. He
had no bias or prejudice whatever, and no
opinion on the subject He was accepted.
These three Jurors We're chosen out of i've
summoned by Sheriff Steenrod from the
country part of Richie district.
THE CASE OF JUROR W. J. BAIRD.
The State said it had found it had been
mislead by the rumOrs regarding Mr.. Baird,
and desired to remove any objection or
question to his not standing fair, and this
was accepted.
The other talesmen were then sent out OF
the box. leaving Messrs. Smith, Fisher and
Snede ker in it, and the other seventeen
Jurors were brought back into their seats.
When this was going on, the Court over.
ruled the objection made by the defense at
the opening, 10 the record, and an excep-
ton was taken while counsel was grouped
picturesquely around the bench on which
the Court held forth. Counsel for the de-
Tense engaged in long private talk with
the Court. while the State sat in their
chairs, and looked on. At the end of this
the Court questioned the jury as to whether
any one had talked to them. and all said no.
Capt. Dovener then said he had felt it to
be his duty to object to Juror Baird yester-
day, and had done so. Since then they
had talked with Mr.. Crummie, had investi-
gated the whole matter, and took pleasure
in saying the whole matter was dropped
and the objection withdrawn
Col. Arnett-You did that while ago.
What is the idea of doing it again.
Capt Dovener-Mr. Baird was not pres
ent then, and | want him to hear it.
The Court then said it had been agreed
that the defense should have copy of all
Jury lists, but so many had been summoned
il had lately been impossible to do it. He
wanted to tell counsel for defense, and for
both sides, that the lists were open TO them.
The Court then cautioned he jury not TO
talk to any one, nor 10 permit discussion
in their presence, nor even to talk among
themselves. He said they were the twenty
from among whom the twelve trial Jurors
were to be taken, and their position was
one of grave responsibility.
Court was then adjourned until , p. m,
all Jurors not yet examined being eau
toned that they must return at that hour.

THE JURY.
CONTINUED from First Page

that what Mr.. Bell did say was that he
asked 10 be discharged. Col. Arnett had
objected, and the Court had suggested the
privilege matter gifts own volition.
The Court-Do you mean to say Mr..
Bells plea of privilege was not discussed
Yesterday
Mr.. Sommerville-Wed discussed il broad
ly-the right of any person TO go on; not
Mr.. Bells case particularly.
The discussion between the Court and
Mr.. SOmmerville, with an occasional inter
ruption from other gentlemen, was carried
on to considerable length, and the Court
asked that the record be again read, and
this was done:
"Now. il the Court please, would like to be
discharged
Col Arnett-I object.
The Court-The juror can plead his privilege
Mr. Bell do so.
The Court-The juror can return in the morn
ing. or course, gentlemen, he pleads his PRIV
lege.
Arnett-The juror pleads his privilege, and
ask for time TO show authorities that he cannon
take advantage Of it.
MIR. BELL SENT FOR.
The Court then ordered Mr.. Bell sent
for. as he thought the matter could be set
tied very shortly, and went on to say the
point raised by counsel was in the nature
of trifing with the Court, to which Mr..
SOmmervllle said he had never seen rec
ord which pointed so clearly in the oppo-
site direction If counsel were TO be re-
fected upon, of course he could not help 1t.
Col Arnett wanted TO know if the Court
intended to reflect upon him for what he
had said.

The Finance Committee of Council
did not seem inclined last night to wres-
tie TO any great extent with the Ques-
tion of whether or not the expenditures
OF the city could be so trimmed and dis
tributed as not to interfere with the
appropriation for the electric light
plant The discussion of this intricate
matter should be full and complete, and,
as will be seen from the report else
where. of the Finance Committees pro-
ceedings last evening, the discussion
was comparatively brief.
1t isa most important matter, and re-
quireS the most careful consideration.
The lighting Of the city by electricity is
one Of the most important improve
mentS in contemplation, and to throw
it aside till next year, as the committee
proposes, is out of the question. If they
cannot see their way clear to cutting
down other expenses to an extent Suffi-
cient 10 pay for the plant, let the queS-
tion of a loan for the purpose be sub
mitted to the people.
The committee figures out a
surplus of about S3s, 900; $4,000 more
is necessary to build the plant. If
Council cannot so adjust the years ap-
preparation that this amount may be
obtained, the question Of loan suffi-
cient TO make up the necessary 100000,
should be submitted to vote of the
people.
There is no Improvement more deSira-
bic or necessary than the lighting of the
city by electricity. We must have the
plant as soon as possible.
