THE DEFENSE Is Opened.

'the reductions before they went to
the meeting in the company room. The
impression the witness received from
Capt. Goods talk was that the Govern
ment had reduced expenses at the
wrong point.
Heard Capt. Good speak of the riot
drill as a 'sailor drill" Never heard
any strong language in connection
with it.
Private Berry told about the meet
ing the company's room, telling about
the same story as given in former tes-
timonies. Witness had never heard
defendant criticize the riot drill, nor
speak disrespectfully of the Colonel.
Never did hear defendant say any
thing that could be construed into a
disrespectful reference to the Colonel.
Was with the Company on July 4th,
but did not hear the blast on Miller
street. Witness received the impress
sion that the Government did not ap-
preciate the extra services of the men
before Capt. Good ever referred to the
matter. When Col. Mclean read the
order he stated that reductions were
made as retrenchment measure.
Witness said that at that time he was
dissatisfied and thought Capt. Good
struck it about right when he said
the Government did not appreciate
the services of the soldiers. At pres
ent he held much the same view, but
was now satisfied.
Witness had served three years and
three months in the United States
Army.
At 1925 the court adjourned to 1880
this evening.

cred at their house and had one of the
best boating sessions in the history of

a four-oar sliding seat boat were out
at one time and several new men were
tried. Timber lately acquired includes
David Dayton, Jr., the ball player, a..
L. Morris, who has rowed before and
Albert Cunha, who did well in the slid
ing seat boat, though the seat was a
trife small for him. A crew is to be
formed of Cunha, Frank McStocker, A.

Mahuka as coxswain. After the row.
ing was over Sunday there was swim

The Myrtles have let up on practice

"Cures talk /" in favor
OF Hoods Sarsaparilla,
I al K

cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful,
convincing language Of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective adj
vertising. Many of these cures are mar
velous. They have won the confidence Of
the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-
rills the largest sales in the world, and
have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has
made cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures OF rheumatism, neuralgia
and weak nerves, cures Of dyspepsia, liver
and kidney troubles, catarrh and malaria.
Such Cures as This Prove Merit.
"My little nephew was plump and
healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in short
time he had more life. He improved rap
idly, his skin became entirely clear of
sores and he is now healthy child."I MRS.
