mitted with great earnestness, and at the
end of it all Mr.. Kosminsky was excused
on peremptory challenge by the defense.
w. Weston had opinions, and so was
unavailable. 81. L. Judell was let go on a
defendants challenge. W. B. Hicks would
hold that Mrs. Davidson was guilty until
she proved her innocence, and even the
prosecution thought him superfluous.
Henry Hoffman satisfied both sides and
was accepted, and Claus Ottin's senti-
ments regarding scandals and ministers
were too much for the prosecution. They
used the first peoples challenge on Mr..
Often.
To fill the vacant chairs some more
talesmen were called forward. J. w.
Steinart was accepted; so was ]. III. Bill ser.
S. M. Smith had an opinion-just little
one-not sufficient to disturb his judg-
ment. His opinion was too strong for the
court, however, and he was excused.
D. A. Williams had not read the papers.
and did not know whether the last event
at the First Congregational Church was a
funeral or thanksgiving feast. There
were flowers there he knew by the pic
lures, but he knew nothing further. He
did not even remember DIR. Browns text
of the day before. He did not know Mrs.
Tunnel, Mrs. Baddin nor Miss Overman.
He did not know where they were. He
did not know even whether they were in
California or Mexico. This bit of ignor-
ance pleased DR.. Brown immensely, and
he pulled Cook back until he could whisper
in the attorneys ear. Then he sat back
and smiled.
Knight wanted to know further if the
juror had ever been mixed up il church
scandal. Yes, the juror was at one time a
memb of an investigating council
WAS the verdict upheld by the congre-
cation ?' queried Knight. The Juror didn't
know. And the juror would give no more
credence to the sworn testimony of min
lister than he would to that of a lay
man? The juror thought not, and Knight
passed him. The people challenged
again. however, and Mr.. Williams was
lost to the case.
G. w. Stoffers was in very satisfactory
state of mind, but he did not ring true to
the defense, and though Stoffers was a
Knights challenge. J. D. Rohrs was
passed, but let go on peoples challenge,
and ]. B. Baton was biased.
For the third time Charley Fancher, the
court clerk, opened his tin iury-wheel and
he drew out the names of E. E. Ames, T.
P. Duley, w. M. Dye. J. Witt and Francis
Thomas. Then, it being o'clock, court
adjourned.
During the day there were twenty-seven
talesmen examined and seven jurors Sc
cured. The defense has used seven of its
ten peremptory challenges and the prose
cution has used three of the five allowed it..
All through the day counsel for the
prosecution gave evidence of an intention
to fight to the last every effort to get DR..
Brown into the case except as prosecuting
witness, and knight gave evidence of the
fact that he understands the situation.

that she cannot proceed without these wit
nesses named. She has no personal knowledge
OF the whereabouts of Miss Matte Overman
out what she has gained from newspaper re-
port. When last heard of, according to news
paper report, Miss Overman had left Lower
California, and was in the neighborhood of
San Diego
The affiant asserts that both these witnesses
named are in communication with and in fact
are under the command of DR.. Charles O..
Brown.
On Friday last the Both inst, knowledge
came to this affiant that subpenas which had
been got out for these witnesses had not
been served; that, acting upon this knowledge,
this affiant, by her counsel, caused foreign
subpenas to be issued by the Judge of this
court, with directions to have them served

man in their places of hiding. These subpenas
are now in the hands of the Sheriff.
Such being the case, Mrs. Mary A Davidson
asks a continuance of this case. All that is
asked is a reasonable delay, in order that SER
vice of subpenas may be had upon the two
witnesses named.
The affidavlts had but small weight with
the court, however, for Judge Bahrs de-
MED the motion for a continuance. The
witnesses were out of the jurisdiction of
the court, he said, and there was nothing
to show that they could be brought back
for the trial. Knight excepted, and then
twelve jurors were called into the box.
Hinkle made the opening statement to
the jury. 1t was short and to the point
and contained only passing explanation
of the charges against Mrs. Davidson. He
also read the information against her.
c. A. Devlin was the first juror under
examination. He easily passed Mr.. Cook,
who asked the prosecutions questions,
but not so with Mr.. knight. knight asked

opinion. He confessed to being man OF
religious principles. and he did not like to
see such scandal as the Brown-Davidson
case in the church. He would give the
evidence his unbiased attention. He was
accepted.
L. w. Johnston was of similar mind,
and SO was John Nolan. Both were passed
and accepted, and then the box was filled
again. Counsel had secured four jurors
out OF the twelve talesmen examined.
H. Kosminsky. w. Weston, w. B.
Hicks, III. Hoffman, John Brophy, ]. G.
Gardener and Claus Atten were the next
men sworn to answer questions. Mr.. Kos
minsky's examination proved interesting.
He was asked what he thought of a minis
ter charged with the offense upon which
Brown had been tried. The prosecution
objected again. DR.. Brown was not on
trial. said Mr.. Hinkle once more, and the
court seemed to agree with him. 1t was
not material issue, said Judge Bahrs,
whether or not DR.. Brown had been guilty
of improper conduct.
"But you say in your information" pro-
tested Knight. "that the charge against
him is doubly hard on him because of his
ministerial standing. l want to know how
these jurors look at it.
1--WE are not trying DR.. Brown now-or
at least just now, but I can ask those
questions if for nothing more than to base
peremptory challenge"
Knights line of inquiry was stopped
there, however, and he took up another
instead. He asked what the juror would
think of the absence of Mrs. Baddin, Mrs.
Tunnel and Miss Overman from the trial.
"They were material witnesses for the
defense, and would the juror hold it
against the defendant if they were not put
on the stand? Would he believe the
defense when it was announced that they
were not to be found ?' All this was sub

The season was drawing to close

The rooms were crowded when she
entered. and in the moving mass of hui

whose eyes never left her face.
Poor Roy! He had trained his heart
for weeks. and 1t rose in rebellion the
moment he saw the girl. He started
like one shot as he noticed young
man push his way to Hates side.
1t was Stanley. He bowed over

ment and she welcomed him warmly.

winters ago." demanded Roy.
A crimson flush spread from Stan
ley's collar to the roots of his hair.
II expect you refer to distant rela-
tive of this Miss Neville, who was here
two winters ago and who is very
different kind of a girl. Good night"
Stanley quickly disappeared, without
noticing how his information had af-
fected Roy.
The floor and ceiling seemed to meet
before the eyes of that young man, and
the things in the room chased each
other in the widest way. Giving him
self shake to restore his scattered
senses, he turned and went swiftly
downstairs. In a few minutes he was
beside Kate.

With gasp Kate turned at the
sound of the voice that four weeks be-
fore had addressed her in almost the
same words. The suddenness of the
attack was too much for her: unre-
sisting she allowed him to lead her
to small reception room.
He closed the door and then all the
mans self-control forsook him.
"Oh, Kate, can you ever forgive me?
Can l ever make you love me? Believe
me, have heen mad"
He certainly gave her good cause to
think he was still in that unhappy con-
dition. Keeping her hands clasped in
his, he poured forth his story-inco-
herently, perhaps. but it left no doubt
in Hates mind of his love for her. She
kept her face carefully averted.
"Ah, my darling, is there nothing /
can do to win your forgiveness"
NO" she answered, in low tone.

interrupted, catching his breath des-
perately.
And to a woman who loves there is
nothing to forgive" she finished in a
whisper, hiding her face on his breast.

A wealthy engineer who had set up a
very fine place in the country, where he

friend.

pushing open the front gate that he
spoke about it to the proprietor.

guest. "a man who has everything

REVIEW OF TRADE.

The volume OF business has not on the whole
increased, nor have prices appreciaby adj
Yanccd since April |, when the range for all
commodities was the lowest ever known in this
country. Breadstuiis and iron products have
risen slightly, but some other articles have de-
c.ined. aud the root of the matter is that de-
mand for consumption is still below expecta-
tons The weather has not favored active
distribution OF spring goods and uncertainty as
TO continued employment affects the purchases
by hands IN large number OF establishments.
The injury done TO winter wheat by storms and
frosts at the west would appear from reports
OF state officers TO have been considerable.
Remarkably low estimates OF conditions are
published by some state authorities. and while
this may he the customary exaggcration, there
has evidently been much actual loss which

news are Affecteds

How few people realize when their back
begins TO ache that it is a warning pro-
vided by nature TO tell you that the kid
neys are not working properly. You have
a severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or
perhaps you are compelled TO maintain
sitting or STOPPING position for long inter
walls at a time, your back begins to ache.
then your head, you become listless, tired
and weary, but do you understand the
real cause2 We think not, else you would
not use plasters and liniment on the back,
which only relieve but do not reach the
cause If you would rid yourself of the
pain and cure the root of the trouble, at
the same time save many years of suffer
ing and perhaps life itself, you will take
kidney remedy that has been tried and
proven that it will cure.
Mr. John ROBSON of 661 Russell Street,
Detroit, says: "As result of exposure
during the war | have suffered ever
since with rheumatism and kidney trouble.
Pains would start in my hip and go
around to my back. Highly colored
urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain
in my back was often so bad | had to give
up work until the severity of the attack
passed away. i have used many liniments
and other things, but received very little
relief. Some time ago | started using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked
wonderful change in me. My back Is
all right now and owe it all to the almost
magical influence of Doan's Kidney Pills. !"

there. An immense amount of damage
was done, and in all probability some
lives have been lost in the hills. A

Creek were blown down.

Mollie and her sweetheart, A. c. Wor.
