He kicked him pretty hard" said
Waddell, "below the ribs and in the

Final Day,

CHICAGO, Oct 23-The military
court of inquiry, which has been in
vestigating the alleged brutal treat

ing of testimony this evening. To-
days testimony is yet to be tabulated.
The court will then write an opinion
on the case, which will be returned to
Gen. Brooke, Commandant of the de-
partment of the Missouri. Gen. Brooke
will forward the report to the war de-
partment at Washington, and it's con-

reports of the methods used in enforc-

the past few months a revival has set

men of Canada are at present direct
ed toward fostering trade with Eng
land, on which it would seem that the
system of preferential duties lately
adopted and the renunciation of the
favored nation treaties by England
would have an apparent effect. The
experiment has not so far been de-
cided success, as imports from Eng
land have fallen off. Canada buys

FALL WEATHER.

Why is it that the kidneys are so
often affected in the fall of the year?
This is a question that is often asked
in medical circles. The answer is this:
During the hot weather the skin,
through perspiration, has thrown off
from the body a great deal of excretory
matter. AS cold weather comes on the
skin is less active because of little or
no sweating, and the whole work Of
excreting this deleterious matter from
the blood is thrown upon the kidneys.
Often the kidneys fail to bear this in
creased strain; hence kidney diseases.
A little invigoraticn at this critical Pc
riod for the kidneys would save much
sickness and many lives. Pe-ru-na ex-
actly meets this requirement. Taken
at the beginning of the cold season 1t
guards the system against such acci-
dents.

BANKS FULL OF MONEY.
Unprecedented Condition of Affairs
In the Northwest.


WASHINGTON, Oct. pa peculiar
feature of the reports Of the condition
of the national banks of the North
west under the recent call of the con-
tToller Of the currency has been the
large reserve held.
.4v hat is the cause Of this?" the
controller was asked today.
'It is too much for wheat" was the
reply, and yet that is the only explain
alton offered. In the last report sub.
1nitted to the controller, the Minneapo-
lis national banks held an average re-
serve of 4S.11 per cent: st. Paul, 54.14,
and Milwaukee, 1853. This is the
largest reserve held by national banks
of these cities in a number of years.
The demand on New York for money
to move the crops has ceased and the
tide is turning in the other direction.
The banks of the Northwest, which
were equally we'll supplied with funds
before, have had their deposits In
creased by the sale of wheat at high
prices.
'The liquidation of debts and the
payment of mortgages are reported on
a large scale. Some of the Northwest
ern banks are reported as so loaded up
with the money that they are actually
entering into competition with New
York banks for local commercial pa
per. This is an unprecedented situa-
tion of affairs. In fact from the re-
ports received at the treasury depart
ment there is plenty of money in the
Northwest as we'll as in New York and
other financial centers. Gold is now
being used in large sums in settlement
of clearing house balances. Of course
the situation from the bankers stand
point is somewhat discouraging as the
margin of their profits is naturally
lowered. It is said that English cap
italists are beginning to borrow money
in this country on sixty and ninety
days time, and While these operations
are comparatively small they have
strengthened the rates of sterling ex-
change and stopped further gold I'M
ports for the time being.

LUETGERT's SECOND TRIAL.
1t VIII BE Begun Next Week, Says
Mr.. Deneen.

Mr.. Deneen.
CHICAGO, Oct 23-W. A. Vincent
and A. A Goodrich, Luetgert's attor-
neys, called on Mayor Harrison today
and made a formal demand that Police
Inspector Schaack be removed. Judge
Goodrich called the mayors attention
to a published interview in which Mr..
Setback is quoted as giving intima.
ton that Juror Harley was influenced
by Goodrich in holding out for a dis
agreement in the Luetgert case. In
the interview Inspector Setback is re-
ported to have said that Harley was
business partner of Thomas Gahan,
the Democratic politician, and that
Vincent and Goodrich were attorneys
for the firm. Harley'S son, it is said,
was seen frequently before the trial in
company with Judge Goodrich, and
Inspector Setback is quoted as having
called attention to this. Judge Vim
cent informed the mayor that every
statement made in the interview was
false Unless Schaack could prove the
truth of what he said, Judge Good
rich it is said, asked to have Inspector
Schaack removed. Judge Vincent
called the mayors attention to what
he termed the "rascally' methods of
Setback in prosecuting the Luetgert
case, and it is said made a formal de-
mand that the police official be re-
tired
The mayor declined to say what he
intended to do in the matter and de-
MED that Luetgert's attorneys had
called to demand Schaack's removal.
He said they wanted the North side
police inspector to retraCt several
statements attributed to him in regard
to Juror Harley and Judge Goodrich.
States Attorney Deneen has decided
to put Luetgert on trial for the sec
ord time some day next week. A
continuance is not asked for by the
defendant New evidence has been
discovered. This, it is said, relates to
the rebuttal and refutes the testimony
of three witnesses for the defense.
The discovery of this new evidence
was made too late to get it in at the
first trial.
