preparation, been a continuous
success with the public. And
that means that Ayers Pills
accomplish what is promised
for them; they cure where
others fail. It was fitting,
therefore, that the worldwide

be recognized by the Worlds

Henry Bendt and Mrs. Claus Behr-
ems are both indicted for murder BY
the Scott county grand Jury at Dsv-
export. After she examination Of 81
Witnesses the grand jury brought in
Q joint indictment yesterday After
noon. charging Mrs. Behrens and
Henry Bendt with the crime in the
first degree. The Indictment speci-
fed the belief Of the Jury that Claus
BehreDs had come TO his death Inly
II through the poison known -
Paris green. This conclusion was
reached after more than Q weeks
work BY the grand jury. and the re-
port is the third partial one. Other
cases were taken up and disposed Of
in between, but the jury kept stead
lily at work every day cpon the case
in hand. The testimony covers IN
almost endless number of sheets of
paper. and some of it, 90 it 10 ru-
mored, is much more interesting
even than that which came out on
the preliminary examination.

city, counsel for Bendt, after the
jury had brought in the indictment.
approached Judge House with the re-
quest that the court fix Bendt's bail.
The major represented to the court
that Bendt's children in Rock Island
wanted to see their father, and that
the neighbors over there had called
. mass meeting with view of voic-
ing their sentiments in the matter.
The major said that Q friend Of
Bendt's had q. 900 collateral, which
he would put on Bendt's bond. and
wished the court to make the bail
$4,000. The court declared that he
would not be justified in making it
less than $1,000, and it remained
$5, 0000 accordingly. After confer
ence between the court and attor.
nsys it was decided that the case
should be set for Wednesday morn
ing. and an extra panel Of jurors for
the trial be drawn this morning.
Mr.. Ely said that Mr.. Vollmer has
discovered some more evidence for
the defense which would have to be
exploited by those attorneys before
they could 60 to trial, but he was
finally induced to consent to the be.
ginning Of the trial Wednesday.

Old ROCK 1eloud BOY . witness In the
Luetgert Case.
DR.. Samuel c. Plummer, Jr., an old
Rock Island boy, and son of DR.. s. C.
Plummer. of this city, was witness
for the defense in the famous Luet-
CERT trial at Chicago yesterday.
According to the testimony he
offered. it is evident that he does not
agree with the array of experts
which the prosecution has introduced
in an attempt to prove that the bones
alleged to have been found in the
sausage factory tank are those Of
Mrs. Luetgert. DR.. Plummer proved
good witness for the sausage
maker.
Attorney Vincent handed the wit
ness the alleged fragment of q human
rib from the states exhibits.
"Can you identify this as q bit Of
human rib?" asked Attorney Vim
cent.
81 can not" was the unmodified
reply.
The expert stated that he had COM
pared il with 200 human ribs, and
then he said:
II find markings on 1t which 1 do
not find in the human bones. lido
not positively say 1t is not part of
human rib, but do say I cannot
identify it as SUCH"
Attorney Vincent acted as though
he were not too we'll pleased with
the reply.
The temporal bone was next in
order. E-'za-
This is not o human temporal
bone," was the witness conclusion
after q careful examination.
"What bone does it most resem-
ble?"
"a temporal bone" came the
rather surprising reply.
Estate why this is not o human
temporal bone," ordered Attorney
Vincent
The physician. with less use of big
words than most of the experts had
employed, explained at length his
reasons.
DR.. Plummer left the stand and by
the congratulations which he received
from his fellow experts it was evil
dent that the defense believed it had
scored considerable vantage.

Low WATER MARK FOR SILVER.
At the Bullion Price the American
Dollar is About III Cents.

Silver bullion experienced yesterday the
most violent break of the entire season S
decline. In London the price dropped one
half penny per ounce from Wednesday, S
price, selling at % "a pence per ounce, as
against q 1-2 pence a month ago.
The New York price fell to 30 81 cents
bid, break of 1 la cents an ounce from
Wednesday, and of 4 IA cents within a
month. At this price the bullion value of
the silver dollar is a trifle more than 43
cents.
London dispatches ascribed the great
weakness in silver to liquidation by New
York holders of the metal. No such decline
had been witnessed since June, 1898. The
Indian mints were closed to free silver
coinage on June 20 of that year. On the
news silver bullion fell in London from
81 I'D. per ounce to price below 80, hut
it rallied sharply later.
A prominent New York exchange house
received this cable from abroad:
mo market. Name price at which you
will SELL"
This message came in response to a re-
quest asking London quotations.
The London Times, in its financial ar
ticle, admitted its inability to explain the
persistent weakness of silver, but thought
1t was due, perhaps, to well-grounded be-
lief that the results of the American oil
metallic commission, headed by Senator
Wolcott. are not likely to prove satisfac-
tory to silverites there and in the United
States
