THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESrABLISHED sAEEG UARD.


Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread Of the
traveller. Its vietims-killed, horribly man
ged or MANNED for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yeteven the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailnent? you ask.
It IS Heart Disease! But" you reply, CON
iidently, q" haven't any heart disease-1ny
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DR.. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those Of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys
though often unsuspected. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
asLally recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
futtering or pllpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart Is affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours, Dr.. Miles, RerYine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit and cured me" IL. NJ. DYER,
Cloverdale, Md.
"My wife has been taking Dr. Miles, New
Cure for the Heart She thinks itwonderful.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used DR.. Niles Pills, and we find them
all they are claimed to be."-GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa.
These and hundreds of similar testimo-
mails are convincing proofs of the wonderful
powers of Or. hiles' Neio Cure for tie Heart.
1t is efectire, agreeable, and above all, SAFE.

IS NOT THE MAN.

Straw=Bond Case.

Signed the. Bond Accepted
by Police Clerk Stevens.

The case of the Jordan straw bond case
took peculiar and unexpected turn when
1t came up before Judge Conlan yesterday
afternoon.
d. l.. Henderson, the deputy County
Recorder, took the stand and swore that
Jordan did not own the property on BrOd-
erick and Sacramento streets.
He was followed by Clerk Stevens, who
repeated his testimony given at previous
times. When asked as to the identity of
Jordan lie again testified that he was the
man who signed the bond as Morrison.
On cross-examination he swore that he
was positive the defendant was the person
who swOre to the bond in the Third-street
saloon.
Officer Hogan then told the facts con-
nected with Jordan's arrest. He testified
that the defendant, j. b. Jordan. was ar
rested by Officer Campbell on description
furnished to himself by Attorney Frey.
II was also brought out that when con-
frontri by Officer Hogan, Clerk Stevens
and Mr.. Frey Jordan had protested that he
never signed the bond
Then Attorney Frey took the stand and
exploded bombSheli in Clerk Stevens
camp by swearing that he had never seen
Jordan before his arrest.
he utSCi lU6u at lttiHl0 the manner IN
which the bond had been prepared and
stated that he was in company with the
two men who signed the bond for over an
hour.
He was asked, rs this man the man
who signed the bond as Morrisan?"
He is not the man." answered Frey.
Il know he is not the man"
Hogan was recalled, but could testify
only to the fact of the defendants being in
the saloon on the night of April 20.
The case was then closed and JOrdan'S
attorney moved dismissal on the ground
that II required the testimony of two per-
sons or Of one person and substantiating
circumstances to prove perjury. In this
case he claimed that nat only were there
not two witnesses but that the testimony
| Of Clerk Stevens who had seen the men
who sw0re to the bond only about three
minutes, was fatty cOntradleted by that of
| Attorney Frey, who had been in their CON-
