DEFENSE SCORES A POINT.
Justice Cole Excuses Witness Searles
from Tesfifying in Chnpm Case.

Justice Cole Excuses Witness Searles
from Testifying in Chapman Case.
The defense in the Chapman trial gained
point yesterday in Justice Coles decision
excusing Witness John Z. Searles, OF the
American Sugar Refining Company, from
answering the questions propounded by the
government attorney.
Mr.. Searies, who was put on the stand as
witness for the prosecution Of Elverton
Chapman, is himself also indicted for the
same offense charged against Chapman,
and in his declination gave as reason
ment pending, if sustained, his testimony
would be self-incriminating.
After a lengthy argument of the point
raised. the court decided as stated.
Attorney Nathaniel ilson. who is one or
the counsel for Mr.. Searles, and also of
Mr.. Havemeyer. president OF the sugar trust,
who is also under Indictment, went before
the court of appeals yesterday afternoon
with an application for a writ of pro-
hibition To restrain the criminal court from
prosecuting his clients under the indictments.
This motion is similar to the one made
In the Chapman case, and which, upon a
denial OF the writ by the court of appeals.
wastaken to the Supreme Court ofthe United
States and is still pending.
The actionis based upon the same plea that
was then made, except, as Mr.. Wilson stated,
they have some additional authority 10 cite.

Look at the people You
pass on the street. Their
faces tell the story of their
lives. They tell the story
of penury or plenty, of re-
fnement or coarseness, of
health or disease.
Three fourths of these
people are not exactly
we'll" They are not ali
sick" perhaps, but many
of them are, and few are
quite hale and hearty.
Consumption has set its
stamp Of pallor and ems-
ciation on many of them.
Dyspepsia has drawn lines
of fretfulness and worry
about their eyes, and
mouths. Impure blood is
showing itself in blotches
and pimples. One man
has e a little trouble !" with
his kidneys. Some of the
have chronic con-
stipation, and the other ills
that constipation brings.
The most pitiful of all
faces is the consumptive
one. Very likely it has
been through the other
stages and has at previous
times shown dyspepsia,
and bad blood.
Consumption doesn't come
all at once. 1t is a creep
ing disease. It comes on
gradually under cover of a
hundred differing symp-
toms. It is the most
Qreadfui OF all diseases,
but it can be cured if you
begin in time. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery
will cure it. It will cure
all the things that lead to
consumption. It is not
guaranteed to cure con-
sumption of long standing.
There is a stage at which
consumption is incurable.
If you send ~ cts. to COW
er postage and wrapping

book of 1000 pages that
tells exactly what " Golden
Medical Discovery" will
do what 1t has done in

1T is said that President Cleveland is
changing his mind on the Indian ques
tion. Until lately he has taken high
ground in favor of carrying out, to the
very letter, our treaties with the
Indians, as a matter of right, as well as
for the protection of the Indians. He
is now coming to the conclusion reached
by the Dawes Commission, that unless
the government shall take hand for
the protection of the full blood Indians,
the half breeds and intruders will soon
be in possession of the country This
is the position taken by Secretary Smith
in his approval of the conclusions
reached by the Dawes Commission.
The sooner the government forces state
hood upon the Indians, with an allot-
ment of lands to them in severalty, the
better will be their condition. At the
same time the breaking down of the
Chinese wall between the Indian
Territory and the states adjacent will
have a most beneficial effect upon the
latter. Little Rock Democrat.
