Dr. Hobbs representative did not ex-
pect so soon to get favorable reports
from applicants who procured from the
drug store of ~ b. Danforth a free
sample of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills. Tests so far have gone to show
that these remarkable pills produce ia
voraDle results with a degree of quick
ness heretofore unknown in the treat
ment of kidney and bladder diseases
and all ailments arising therefrom. AT
the same time no reasonable person
would expect that within five days from
the time the first sample of DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills was given out
good effect would be generally mani
fest. as the very nature of kidney die
ease is such that a reasonable amount
of time and patience will be found nee
essary to test their real virtues.
People who have dosed themselves
with all kinds of so-called kidney medi-
cines until not only their kidneys, bu
their entire system is in a state of pros
tration cannot expect to be cured in {
day 0r two by DR.. Hobbs grand remedy

man who would advertise to cur'
Bright's disease-that fearful insidioul
and dangerous ailment-in a few hours
should be drummed out of town as al

claims is one thing that especially com
mends him and his remedy to the pub

IN TROUBLE.
RETURNING FROM THE EAST,
HE IS AGAIN CONFRONTED WITH
THE ALLEGATION OF IR-

IN THE MATTER OF A MONTHS FAY
Allowed the Freedom of the Post
but Seldom Leaves His
Quarters.

| Lieut., w. H. MorfOrd has again been
placed under arrest, this time at Fort
Smelling; the charges have not yet been
prepared, but will, if at all, be served
upon him within a day or two.
| Lieut.. Morford was first placed I'M
der arrest while the regiment was in
! camp the charges being conduct I'M
| becoming in an officer and a gentle
man, the specific points being in re-
lation to his financial affairs. He ten
dered his resignation but after think
ing the matter over withdrew it, pre-
ferring to stand court martial. Under
the regulations, when charges are not
preferred within eight days from the
time Of arrest, the accused man is
restored to his liberty; and so it was
in this case
More recent developments, however,
caused his rearrest; it was reported
that he had duplicated his pay voucher
for one month, that is he had given
his order to one of his creditors for
that months salary and had then
drawn the salary himself. This had oc-
CURED several months ago, but was only
discovered within the past few days.
It is believed that it was his inten-
ton to take up the first order before it
was presented-but unfortunately for
him he failed to do So
The charges which are now being
drawn up. it is said, will set forth
these facts and also his conduct with
reference to his Indebtedness Upon
their being forwarded to the depart
ment commander, Gen. Wade, the lat
ter will order the court martial, which
will consist Of not more than thirteen
nor less than five officers of the de-
partment; these must be chosen from
a rank superior to that of the accused
man and from other posts. The other
posts in this department are Forts
Keough, Harrison, Assinaboine and
Custer. A judge advocate will be ap-
pointed and the accused man also has
the privilege of selecting counsel.
Lieut.. Morford is only thirty years
of age, and has been second lieutenant
of Company c for the past three years,
a popular officer, feels his position
keenly, and, although his arrest al
lows him the freedom Of the post, he
seldom leaves his quarters.
Col. Page was seen last evening by
reporter for the G l b e, but refused
to talk of the unfortunate affair, evil

story is current that when Lieut. Nor
ford's financial difficulties were first
brought to the attention of his superior
officers, one of them made a PROPOSE
ton to the junior officer to take charge
of his Indebtedness himself, if furnished
with an itemized list of his obligations,
but that this offer was refused.

FATE OF THE AUDITORIUM.

Come to the Front

SOme 10 the 'FRONT.'.
A meeting of the board Of managers
of the citizens committee having in
charge last years Grand Army en-
campment, was held at the Commercial
club yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
The business of the meeting was to
make some provision for maintaining
the Auditorium building, if possible
Last year, after the encampment, the
citizens committee bought the Audi
forum with the small amount of
money left in the committees hands,
after paying all of the encampment
bills. In doing so, the committee was
hopeful of preventing the demolition
of the building. at least for a time.
Late in September the Commercial
club leased the building from the citi-
zens committee for one year, for a
nominal rental. the club agreeing to
pay all taxes, insurance, and other
items of maintenance. If any income
were realized from the building it was
to belong to the club. The first years
lease expires Sept. 20 next, and the
Commercial club has notified the citi-
zens committee that they must assume
charge of the building at that time. as
another years lease is not desired 10y

NOW FITS OFFICER AHERN.
Charged with Striking 81 Lad With
an Umbrella.


Mayor Doran's policemen continue to
give him trouble. Several weeks ago
two officers were fined S25 each for
clubbing grown men, and it now re-
mains for Officer John NJ Ahern, Of
the central station, to be charged with
aSSaulting a thirteen-year- old boy. To
make it worse, when Officer Ahern
found he had made a break, he arrested
the lad, presumably in hopes of in
timidating his parents into dropping
an investigation. Mr.. Farrell, the boys
father, lodged the information against
Officer Ahern with Mayor Doran yes
terday.
The first trouble between the patrol
man and the Farrell boy took place
several days ago, when, it is alleged
Officer Ahern struck the lad across
the face with an umbrella, raising
an ugly lump on his forehead. Indig-
nation was expressed at the officers
conduct by a number of citizens who
witnessed the act, and Thursday Mr..
Farrell instructed his son to endeavor
to find some of the people that they
might be gotten to testify before the
mayor. While the boy stood at
Seventh and Broadway looking for
some of the witnesses to the assault
it is alleged, Officer Ahern ordered him
to go home and when the lad did not
obey quickly enough, seized him by
the shoulder, shaking him until his
nose bled, and then sent him to the
police station on the charge of incor-
rigibility. The lad spent the night in
a cell and when the case was called
i'm the municipal court yesterday, it
was continued for two weeks with the
hope that Mr.. Farrell would drop the
matter.
Mr.. Farrell says Patrolman Ahern
requested him not to push the charges
against him, but declares the out
rageous treatment of his son demands
an investigation, and that he will carry
the matter to a conclusion. 1t is the
first time in his life, Mr. Farrell says,
that he ever heard of a boy being
charged with incorrigibility without
the consent of his parents.

CONTESTS ARE PENDING.
Marshall District Cases Are Under
Consideration.

George A. Finn, state land clerk,
returned yesterday from, an ex-
tended stay in Marshall where he has
been conducting the state side Of a
number of contests in connection with
the selection of indemnity lands under
the state swamp land grants. The
hearings, which closed Friday night,
involved about 400 acres in the south
ern counties on which settlers have
located in spite of the states claim to
the land.
Finn has not been seized with the
Klondike fever at all, he having be-
come more or less familiar with the
vilds of the Canadian Northwest dur
ing the Riel rebellion of 1886. The
hardships that must hes borne in the
Klondike this winter; Mr. Finn de-
clares, are enough to dampen any ar
dor which one who experienced a WIN
ter east Of the divide 3 might have
aroused by the glitter OF the gold in
the soil along the Yukon?

WITNESS is MISSING.
Judge TwOhy Getting Tired of n
Regular Practice

When the case of Alice Holmes and
Pearl Lyle, the colored women accused
of holding up Peter Hedin at Ninth
and Robert streets a week ago, was
called in the police court yesterday,
Assistant County Attorney Zollman
moved for dismissal. Hedin has
disappeared, and it was stated that
without his evidence the case could not
be tried. Judge Twohy, however, re-
fused to grant the motion, continuing
the case until Aug. q, and directing
that thorough search be made for
the missing witness.
In defining his position, Judge Twohy
said that it had become regular prac-
tice for witnesses to be spirited away,
and that he was determined, if possible,
to put a stop to this method of prison
ers escaping trial. Hedin signed a
recognizance to appear against the
women but, Notwithstanding, the police
profess to have been unable to find
him.
