THE JACKSON TRIAL.
Col. Crawford Began His Argument for
the Defense Yesterday.

Newport, Ky. May 12.-There was a
diminution in attendance at the Scott
Jackson trial today.
Col Crawford began his argument for
the defense. The line of his defense so
far has been to create sympathy for Jack
son by dwelling upon the torturing in
~quisitorial treatment given him by the
Cincinnati police after his arrest. He
has also tried to show that Will Wood.
not Jackson, was responsible for Pearl
Bryans condition.
Mr.. Crawford will finish in an hour
or two in the morning and the common
wealth attorney, Lockhart, will conclude
for the prosecution, so as to give the case
to the jury by adjourning hour in the
afternoon.
Col. Crawford devoted much of his
argument in an attempt to discredit the
testimony of the two negroes, Allen John
son and George H. Jackson, the cabman-
but his greatest effort was to create a
doubt as to whether the girl was killed
in Ohio or Kentucky, and also to estab-
lish an alibi for Scott Jackson. What
ever may be the merits of his case and
of his arguments, it is conceded by all
that Col Crawford is making Il gallant
fight for his client.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, May "a bill was passed
to allow articles sent abroad for exhi-
bition purposes to be returned free of
duty.
Mr.. Morrill,, chairman of the finance
committee, reported resolution recitng
that in view of the recent action of the
senate in directing an investigation of
recent bond issues, that the committee
be authorized to conduct the nvestga-
tion through Il subcommittee, that au-
thOrity be given to summon witnesses
and administer oaths and that the COM
mittee be authorized to sit during recess
of congress. The resolution was re-
ferred.
Mr.. Dubois created temporary furry
on the bond question by asking immedi-
ate consideration for a joint resolution
providing that hereafter no bonds shall
be issued by any officer until the presi-
dent has communicated to congress the
necessity of the bonds, the amount of
the issue and until congress shall au-
thOrize the payment of the bonds issued.
That seems quite important" inter-
rupted Mr. Hill, "and it ought to go to a
committee"
"No," said Mr.. Dubois, "lets have
vote of the senate"
Mr.. Sherman suggested that this in
volved an important change of law and
certainly it should go to the finance COM
4 nItee. s---------..-----
y He objected to immediate considera-
ton.
"Then | would like vote on Mon
day." said Mr.. Dubois.
Mr. Palmer Dem.) of Illinois reported

bill was then resumed and Mr.. White
Dem.) of California proceeded with his
speech opposing the location of a deep
water harbOr at Santa Monica. Cal.
The views of Lieut.. H. G.. Taylor fa-
voring the Santa Monica site were COM
pared by Mr.. White with those favoring
San Pedro by Maj. Raymond and Pro-
fessor George Davidson the latter being
at the head of the coast and geodetic
survey on the Pacific coast
To avoid all further conflict Mr. White
urged the adoption of his amendment re-
ferring the question to skilled board
He declared that the advocates of Santa
Monica refused to accept an impartial
board knowing that such a board would
report against them. When Mr.. Hunt
ington placed his wharf in Santa Monica
bay no one had any idea of harbor at
that point. If this harbOr was built it
would protect the Huntington wharf and
nothing else
'It will be donation of $3,0O0,0OO to
a private corporation" said Mr.. White.
''It will be taking $3,000,000 which the
engineers have recommended, but not ex-
pended, and expending it on an individu-
al 1t will not be for the public good, but
for the benefit of an enterprisng person
who is developing large commerce over
one of the most magnificent wharfs in the
world.
n Mr.. White closed with the declaration,

DENTISTRY.

Dentistry is a profession in which
it requires time for one to become
proficient. furthermore it requires
several years for dentist to
establish his professional ability IN
the estimation of the public. For
how often have you seen dental
work which seemed to be perfect
but alas was soon broken down.
Knowing the above to be true, aud
feeling that the people OF TeXar-
kama, also realize this to be fact, !
governed myself accordingly, been
in the practice of my profession 10
or Is years, taken private instruc-
tions for Is months, spent three
years in reputable dental college
preparing to meet the demands of
an appreciative public Nevertheless

only place themselves where they

GIddness Comes

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature OF the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tiOn of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by ali
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, 10 note when You pun"
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
aud the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infOrmed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
