Yesterdays testimony in the Cohn
contest was but repetition of that
given on the preceding days OF the con-
test. Mrs. Delphini Cohn has estab-
lished the fact that she and Cohn were
regarded as married couple by people
who knew them, and it has been re-
peatedly stated on the witness stand
! that Cohn called the contestant his
wife.
w. X. Kilgore, one of the witnesses
called yesterday, swore he knew Conn
thirty years and Delphini twenty years.
He visited them at the different houses
in which they lived, and on one cca-
! sion Cohn told him they were
married. He had kept his
promise to Delphini he said, and he was
glad on her account and also for the
children's sake.
A. +. Abbott swore he worked in a
wood yard while the couple resided on
Buena Vista street. He went to the
house to collect bill and could not
change a gold piece offered by Delphini
in payment of the account. She told
the witness she would have her husband
pay the bill, and in the evening Cohn
came to his place and settled the ac-
count.
Counsel for the other side stated they
would admit that Cohn furnished the
house and provided everything required
by the contestant and the children.
The evidence that he did do so and
that he was very attentive to Delphlni
and spoke OF her repeatedly as his wife
is overwhelming. The contestant has
an army of witnesses who will swear to
this and it will take at least ten days
more to get all the evidence on her side
before the court.
The case is being stubbornly fought
by both sides. and it is said that the
children of his wife Esther have en-
ployed detectives to watch every move
made by the contestant and her at

D. G. Stratton was arrested last night
at the Arcade depot and will be exam
ined today in regard to his sanity. He
is the man who was found on a ranch
near Sacramento about a week since.
He then stated that he was waiting for
a street car to go to Los Angeles. One
hundred dollars in greenbacks were
found on him and he offered to exchange
them for 500 in gold. His friends started
north after him when they read about
his queer antics and brought him home,
but have been unable to do anything
with him. Last night Stratton started
to go north in order to get hat which
he lost. He presented quite wild APP
pearance as he bound his head up with
a white handkerchief. On his way up
to the station he stated that he owned
the earth. 81 have been inspecting

Little Interviews Which Were Noted
Yesterday.
Dan Freeman-I have just got back
from ahunting trip in northern Arizona.
Colonel OTIS and Colonel Corbin were
with us. We killed three bears. Who
killed them? Well, it might hurt the
other fellows feelings if told. We in
tended to 60 on to the Grand Canon, but
we ran into blizzard, the thermometer
dropped to IA degrees below zero and we
came home. Did we bring anything
back? Didwe? Well what's the mat
ter with wild turkeys? Nothing. L
should say not.
Frank Engler-No, there is not much
piano-mending done here. 1t is very
rare that | have job OF repairing. The
fact is, in nine cases out OF ten, when a
piano gets old, the owners trade it OIL
for new one, giving boot. Then the
market is filled with pianos OF all prices
and to be had on all sorts of easy terms,
SO that we have but little work
in patching up old ones. Moths
are the worst things | have to con-
tend with in keeping the pianos
of my customers in good tune.
The wretched insects get inside the in
strument and feed upon the buckskin
which covers the hammers, and make
sad havoc with it. Whenever anyone
tells you that you can expel moths with
ca,nphor, tobacco or any of the things OF
offensive odors, say it is not so. The
moth has no sense of scent, and nothing
will get the best of them but cleaning
and exposure to the air. Can / play
McGinty in minor key? Well, l shoulc
smile. Annie Rooney, however, sounds
best when played on a hand organ. II
lacks the appogiatura notes for delicate
effect on the piano.

and merchants anxious to grow rich
out of the immense business of the
South, sold at enormous profits, so
we may say our people paid 80 to
100 per cent. for credit. Our farm
ers grow poorer, and became des-
pondent. AS a lost resort, they
would plant larger crop of cotton,
use more guano, to pay out of debt,
only to realize more fully the awful
mistake they had made. Many farm
ers forget that it takes one-tourth
the cotton crop - pay for guano,
and the expenses for ginning, etc.
If there is any one thing on earth
that figures will lie about it is a cot
ton crop. We are proud to note
that many of our farmers have gone
to raising their own provisions, es-
pecially corn, hay and meat, and
some are sowing grasses, raising
colts and fine cattle. The prosperity
of our country chiefly depends upon
our farming interests, and the soon
er all leave the all-cotton farming
alone, the better off our people will
be. Let us again say, diversity your
crops, make home attractive. Plant
orchards, vineyards, SOW grasses,
raise your own fertilizers, as we'll as

and they will ever cherish the sweet
memories of farm lite.-Cla"kston

or Intentionally, killed my wife.
He pronounced her complaint--con
sumption-incurable. She accepted
the verdict, and-died. Yet since
then have heard of at least dozen
cases, quite as far advanced as hers,
that have been cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Her
life might have been saved, for con-
sumption is not incurable." OF
course it is not. The Discovery"
will remove every trace of it, if
taken in time and used faithfully.
Consumption is disease of the

The Merriest Girl that's Out.

"Ronnie sweet Bessie, the maid of
Dundee" was, no doubt, the kind of
girl to ask, "What are the wild
waves saying?" or to put "a little
faded flower" in your button hole,
she was so full OF vivaclty, and
beaming with robust health. Every
girl in the land can be just as full
of life, just as well, and just as mer-
r. as she, since DR.. Pierce has
placed his "Favorite Prescription"
within the reach of all. Young
girls in their teens, passing the age
fpuberty, find it great aid. Deli
cate, pale and sickly girls will find
this wonderful invigoIator, and a
sure corrective for all arrangements
and weaknesses incident to females.

and with good reason, too, for in

thing was very pleasant and that is
although there was such a crowd
there was an ample number OF courte-
Gus clerks In attendance to wait upon
the customers, attend to their wants,
ana to send them home well satisfied
with the bargains they had secured.
This is q dull time and people gen.
orally are complaining of no business.
Wolfson. however, is not doing so apd
will not because he has the enterprise
to make business if necessary. Years
OF fair trading has given him the pub
lie confidence, and when he adver-
tises he does all that he proposes to
do and more. He would rather give
his patrons the advantage than allow
any waste in any direction.
This lis one of a series of cheap sales
that WoIfson Is making to clear off
superfluous stock and though this is
his loss it is a decided gain to the
public. Those who are wise will
watch for these cheap sales and by
taking advantage of them save ma
