In glass. That's the way DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets como. And it's a more
important point than you think. It keeps
them always fresh and reliable, unlike
the ordinary pills in cheap wooden or
pasteboard boxes. They're put up ina
bettor way than tho huge, old-fashionod
pills. No gripping, no violence, no reao-
tion afterward that some times leaves
you worse off than before. In that way,
they cure permanently. Sick headache,
ton, bilious attacks, and all derange-
ments of tho liver, stomach, and bowels
are prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're tiny, sugar-ooated granules, a
compound of refined and concentrated
vegetable extraots--tho smallest in size,
the easiest to take.

AUDITOR CASTLE FINDS IRREGU-
LlRITIEs IN ACCOUNTS.
NINE METHODS OF STEALING.
IMPERFECTIoNS OF OLD LAW MADE
ROBBERY EASY.
Defects Have Been Remcdicd-Exnm-
fnation of a Hundred Million Old
Orders Proposcd-WiUT Take
One Hundred Men
One Year.

Washington. Jan. 7.-Auditor Castle. OF
the postoffice department, mas discovered
Irregularities in money order accounts,
which may possibly result in "A loss TO the
government of a considerable sum. They
were brought TO light the outcome of a
new system of checking accounts by post
masters, which went into effect on the first
of the year. About three years ago the
practice of checking money order accounts
IN the office of the auditor was changed,
they being audited by stubs or coupons and
not by the orders themselves as had been
done previously. If the postmasters' return
corresponded in each item with this cou-
pom or stub. the account WAS assumed to
be correct and was closed. The money or
der itself was never checked by the issu-
ing postmasters' returns. but was only used
as a voucher for the paying postmaster.
When Auditor Castle took charge of the
office he discovered defects in the sys-
tenn, which made it possible for dishonest
postmasters to rob the government. and
ascertained there were nine possible ways
in which this could he done. He then put
into operation a new system which he be-
leves will cover all defects. One of the
most important of the changes decided edupon
was the adjustment of the coupon entire
ly and the checking of both sides of the
postmasters' account by the money order
itself. Several cases have already been
detected in which orders were issued for
as high as $50 and 500 and were reported
by the issuing postmaster at 81 or 81 each.
How many such frauds We're perpetrated
during the three years in which the old
system was in operation. can only be
guessed. An examination of the 100, 900 90
money orders issued during that time could
be made. the auditor believes, by 100 men
ders Just discovered continues. he thinks it
might be well to do this. How much the
government has lost will not be determined
unless such an examination is made.

HOLES IN THE STATES CASE.
Evidence Against Dobbs and Mrs.
New Not So Damaging
Was Expected.

Eureka Kas.. Jan. 7.-(SpecialD The third
day of the trial of G.. II. Dobbs and Mrs.
Amelia New. charged with the murder OF
Joseph New, has been one OF intense In
terest. and the attendance has been un-
usually large. The state rested its case
early this afternoon and by o'clock the
defense had concluded its testimony. To-
morrow morning the state will offer evil
dence in rcbuttal. The arguments of both
by evening. when the case will be given to
the jury. The case made by the state,
though in many respects a strong one. has
not been as damaging to either of the de-
PENDANTS as predicted. The intimacy be-
tween the defendants has been we'll proven.
The evidence of Dobbs' borrowing a shot
gun on the night of the murder and its
showing signs of usage on the following
morning is incomplete. Much evidence
was presented to the finding of traC kS
OF two persons. one of man wearing
shoes and the other of "a woman barefoot
from the New house Ia that of neigh
bor's, where Mrs. New appeared in her
bare feet and lightly clad, soon after the
murder. The mans track was proven to
be identical with the imprint from the
shoes taken from DobbS' feet after his ar
rest, except THAT the heels Were defaced.
This the prosecution partly proved TO have
made no effort TO prove an alih for either
OF the defendants. hut relied solely upon
evidence which showed an enmity between
Charles Lewis and VIII Becker. brothers
of Mrs. New. toward her husband. and
will attempt in their argument Ia throw
