 M. crepieux Jandn, handwriting ex- pert, strenuousuly denied that he had at ternpted to bribe M. Telssonieres to modify his reports of the Drefus Border 1u.
 NJ Teissenieres, NJ. Janin added, had de clared that his report alone anu not M. BertilloRs on whsch Drefus was convicted This statfment caused a sensation M. Janan added that it was because M. Teis1onieres was angry with the witness for not sharing his opinion in regard 10 the Dreyfus case that he tried to conpromlse the matter.
 Admitted Possession
 M. Clmenceau, counsel for the Aurore' read letters from Mme. De Boulancey, an- hitting the possession of letters wn1cn Mai. Esterhazy wrote her between 1891 and 1894 and containing serious animadyersions of France and the French army. M. Clem- enceau urged the court to appoint mag istrate to ask Mime. De Boulancy If among the letters there wep not one containing the following expression::
 Firstly, Gen. Saussfer then commander in-chief of the French army and military governor of Paris), is a clown. In our country the Germans would not snow him in a circus. (Uproar in court.
 Secondly. If the Prussians got as far as Lyons they might throw away their guns and keep only their riding whips to drive the French in front of them" Prolonged sensation).
 Prof. Havert of the College of France, said he examined as an expert the Borde- reau and the letters of Maj. Esterhazy and Dreyfus, as well as a letter written by Dreyfus since his condemnation. The lat ter, the witness continued, was devoid of resem blance to the Bordereau, of which he was convinced Mai. Esterhazy was the author.
 The court then adjourned. The crowd made no demonstration. The excitement caused by the trial was greatly abated but the real interest is absorbing and grows daily. Count Esterhazy will be examined tomorrow.
 M. Mievoye speaking tonight at a pa triotic meetine at Suresnes, claimed to know that the secret document upon which Dreyfus was condemned read thus: Let them ask that of Canaille Dreyfus what he has promised (SignedD GULLAIUME."

DR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDICINE
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for Dys- pepsia, Indigestion and Stomach Trou- bleS.

pepsia, Indigestion and Stomach Trou-
 b1es.
 pr. Wurth, in commenting on recent discoveries in medicine, said: There is none which Is certain to be so valuable and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the new stomach rem edy; I say far reaching, because people little realize how important sound stom- ach and vigorous digestion is to every man, woman and child. r
 Indigestion is the starting point of con- sumption, heart disease, Bright's disease, diabetes, nervous prostration, liver troubles why is this so? Simply because every nerve, muscle and tissue in our bodies is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food is, by reason of a weak stomach, compelled to lie for hours, a sour, fermenting mass of half digested food, it poisons the blood and nervous system, creates gas which dis tends the stomach and bowels, causing pressure on the heart lungs and other organs and seriously impeding their ac- tion.
 He says further. the point to direct at- tention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs nor kidneys. but the stomach, the first cause of all the mischief.
 The remedy to use for indigestion and weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but a remedy which will digest the food, in- crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will accomplish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets are composed of the di- gestive acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to taste, and not being a patent medicine, can be used by anyone with perfect safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of indigestion and stomach troble except cancer of stomach.
 Full size packages of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents. book on stomach diseases together with thousands of testimonials will be sent by addressing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. 2-1G-1S-20-wkly. ..I

The New Mule SaIlie

The Huntsville Tribune recently heard a negro describe a brief and painful ride, He said the boys advised him not to ride the new mule Sallie. "The mule," he said, twas shaped like rabbit; her ears sot straight up. I got on her and she kinder bumped herself; then she just ris in the air; then I fetched her lick with the hickory, then she ris again and went about fifteen feet high. She got the snake loop on her. This got me, and when they brought me to, 1t looked like stars were shining all around me, some of them not more than five inches from my nose. I sure thought 1t was night, cause I couldn't see anything but stars"

Defended His Mother Ie Eufaula Times.

From the Eufaula Times.
 Henry Crawford. a negro whose home is just across the river in Quitman county, was shot at Batesville on Saturday night last. The shooting was done by small negro boy. The particulars. as the Times learn them are these: Henry went up to Batesvle, accompanied by his brother, for the purpose of getting a negro woman who had been living with him to go back to Georgia. This she refused to do and the woman and Henry became engaged in a fight. There was another woman and a boy on the premises and after giving the first woman terrible thrashing he turned upon the other and beat her badly with a stick. He was warned by the boy to let his mother alone and not strike her again. He paid no attention to the boys warning when the little fellow stepped in the house and secured shot gun and let Henry have the contents of it in his face. Henry succeeded in getting away from Batesville and reaching the Georgia side without being arrested. Several negroes from Batesville passed through this city yesterday seachlng for Henry. They found him in Georgetown but he was too badly wounded to be removed. He bears an unsavory record with our Georgia neighbors.

FOUR TIMES SENTENCED
Execution of Theodore Durrant Will
Take Place Tomorrow.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-Unless
stay of execution is granted, Iheooore
Durrant, who has four times been SEN
fenced to death, will be executed To-
morrow for two of the most atroclouS
murders in the history OF crime. Inc
most strenuous efforts have been put
torti, to save his life, appeal AFTER
anpeal having been made by his I'M
firing lawyers, but without avail.
Durrant steadily denies that he mad
anything to do with the terrible muir
der of the two lovely girls for whose
lives his own must pay. Inc WhoIe
state has for many months been eXclt-
ed over the case, and Gov. Budd, dis

him, insisted on going over the evil
dence himself by examining the VII

Ex-GoV. PECK ON BOYS.

Milwaukee, Jan. Final arrange
ments have just been made for the
lecture tour OF ex-Goy. George w.
Peck through the middle states. The
southern lyceum bureau has closed a
contract with the former chief execu-
tive of Wisconsin and within few
days the bookings will be completed.
The genial ex-governor has chosen
boys as his subject and has hit upon
the peculiar title of Good-Bad Boys
and Bad-Good Boys. 1t is thought
that the wide reputation as an excel
lent entertainer which the ex-governor
mas gained through the various edi--
tions of Peck's Bad Boy, and his many
witty speeches, will serve as a magnet
to draw large audiences on his lecture
tour. The tour viii open the latter
part of January in Ohio.
