The readers of this PAPER will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires a CON
%stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting d.
rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing it's work. The pro-
p%rietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list Of testi-
monials. Address.

his connection with the mint and how
Langevin had tried to extort mon
from him. He swore that Langevin
had wanted $500 or he and his son
would both testify against him and
that he had given him 5000 to get
rid of him. He gave a detailed &C.
count Of how he had come in posses
sion of the granulated gold he had
taken to the Reno Reduction Works,
stating that it was gold dust from his
brother, Michael Heney of Folsom,
Cal. Some Of it was given him by his
brother at Folsom and some he had
received Mt the train in Reno from his
brother on his way east, for which he
paid $3.50 and took it to Carson. His
night ride from Carson to Reno with
young Langevin was for the purpose
of meeting his brother. He contra
dicted Beck, Clark and Eastwood as
to what took place in the Reduction
Works when he took the gold there.
He swore that he did not know the
present whereabouts of his brother.
He first heard of the shortage in the
mint while he was in San Francisco
last April. He went from there to
Los Angeles to have his throat doc
tored! From there he went to Arizo-
nj and Colorado where he was ar
rested.
General Clark put Heney through
a very rigid cross examination and
succeeded in tangling him up some
what, but Heney stuck to the text of
his statement on direct examination
very closely. He said he had receiv-
ed a dispatch from his brother at
Folsom, to meet him at Reno, but did
not know where it was now. Had re.
ceived a letter from him before re.
ceiving the dispatch and had lost it
also. He could not remember where
he stopped in Los Angeles, but named
several men he met there. He had
been in Fairbanks Wilcox and Ben,
son, Arizona. Didn't remember OF
having registered at Benson under the
name of Peters. Didn't think hat he
knew of Jones' arrest when he left
Los Angeles. If he had testified that
he did in direct examination he was
probably mistaken. when confront,
ed with the complaint and date he adj,
mitted that he was mistakenly. When
asked why he had left Los Angeles
so suddenly he replied he had gono to
the Hot Springs, Arizona, for his
health. Il wasn't LEAKING. the coun,

appearance of pipes and tobacco at
that period when cigars are generally
served Ii has been discovered by
somebody or other that when the
Prince of Wales gave Il dinner at Sand
bingham to his own set he caused pipes
TO be distributed to his guests when
cigars are generally in order. This is
because he prefers pipe 10 cigar

waited the ya9rant fancy Of Gothama

so far been received with favor. The
