To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great Modern
Discovery, Swamp-R Root, Every Times" Reader
May Have Sample Bottle Sent Free By Mail.

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs OF
the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purties in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a question
of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bow
els?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw
out the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but
the poisons which are already in your
blood, causing your present sickness, it
leaves there
There is no other way OF purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys.
That is why bowel cleaners fail to do
their work-they forget the kidneys.
When you are sick then. no matter what
you think the name of your disease is. the
first thing you should do is to afford aid
to your kidneys by using Dr. Kilmer' $
Swamp Root. the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural
help TO nature for Swamp Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that is known to medical science.
DR.. kilmer, the eminent physician and
specialist. has attained a ar-famed repu-
tation through the discovery and marvellous
success of Swamp Root in purifying the

1t is fact, however, that he had clinical
diphtheria."
When asked Did the mercury in the
powders which Barnet took cause his
death" he replied:
1T did not. Mr.. Barnet died of diph-
iberia and of nothing else
Policeman Edward T. Hughes private
secretary to Captain McCluskey. produced
a stenographic report of a statement made
by Cornish to Captain McCluskey on the
afternoon of December % at the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club. According TO
Hughes notes Cornish told the chief OF
detectives that he received the poison
package on the afternoon of December "a.
He testified that he had received it on
the morning of that day.
To Captain MCCluskey he said that he
got the bottle of alleged bromo- seltzer
out of Mrs Rogers room. He testified that
he got the bottle from his own room and
Mrs. Rogers corrOborated the latter.
Hughes also had a memorandum of a state
ment made by Cornish to Captain Me
Cluskey on aJnuary al police headquar-
ters. According to the stenographic re-
port Cornish said that after Molineux
left the Knickerbocker Athletic Club Bar
net had had Miss Chesebrough there to
dinner. Cornish said also that Molineux
had said that he. NolneuX. was a slave
to the opium habit and would like to
break it OF He said that Molincux led
Chuck Connors' ball in 1896 and knew
Chuck and the girl. He told Captain Me
Clusky that Mo!ineux had had an illegi-
innate child by some woman and had been
supporting the woman and the child cever
since He also said that Molneux had
aspirations to be an opera singer and had
tried at one time TO go on the stage
Most of these allegations Mr. Molineux
has unequiyocally denied on the witness
stand.
Miss Addie Bates. trained nurse, also
told of Barnet's Illness and of his reccivin,,
howers and note signed Blanche.
David Murdoch. a stationer of 5O3 Column
bus Avenue, testified that at one time he
kept private letter boxes for hire and that
Mrs Rogers leased one of these boxes from
October l3. 1894, until April Is. 1897

Conflicting Evidence in the Adams
Inquest YESTERDAY.

Inquest Yesterday.
New York, Feb. 20.-Mrs. Florence E.
Rogers, daughter of Mrs. Katherine J.
Adams, who was killed by poison. was
the last witness at the inquest into the
latter's death today. She had barely be-
gan to testify when the hour for adjourn
ment came. She Will be called again to-
morrow if she is well enough. The first
witness was Harry A. King, a member OF
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club TO whom
at the club on Saturday December "a,
Cornish showed the bottle of poisoned
bromo- -setzer which he had received
few hours before.
King when the bottle was shown to him.
complained of a headache, and said he
thought he would take some of the bromo-
seltZer. Cornish swore that the reason
King did not take a dose was because he
could not find a glass at the water cooler
which is near the entrance to the gym
~asium Finneran testified at first that
King did not take any of the contents of
the bottle because there was no glass and
later. when closely questioned about the
matter, said that King did not take any Of
the stuff because there was no water Ill
the cooler The reason that Mr.. Osborne
has spent so much time in getting at
Kings real reason for not taking any of
the contents of the bottle is this: The
bottle was shown to King before ] o'clock
on December a. There is never any water
in the cooler before l o'clock. Cornish.
the director of the gymnasium. knew this
perfectly well. and il he happened to think
twas not l o'clock knew that King would
not find water TO take the bromo- settler in.
No objection was raised to Kings pro-
pOSal to take some of the bromo-Seltzer.

no danger, whether or not the bottle was

Everything Cooked Ont of II.
Major Henry Jackson. of the Third Cav
airy, testified to hearing complaints about
canned roast beef as early in the cam
paign as on the transport going to CUBA
The men claimed TIA: it was strngy and
tasteless. He though: that in Cuba beef
on the hoof could have been supplied the
troops.
Colonel Davis-Would it have been a
satisfactory article of ration in that ,ii-
mate
Major Jackson-I think so.
Colonel Dayis-How could ii have been
killed?
Major Jackson-It could have been killed
in the evening and eaten the next morning.
Reverting TO the canned roast beef, Major
Jackson stated that he saw only one can
that was spoiled. AS TO the physical con-
dition OF the men. he replied that 1t was
very good up 10 the ith or 9TH Of July. At
ter that the men got sick very rapidly. He
said canned roast beef was furnished on
the transport coming north. There was
nothing 10 put with II. The onions were
nearly all spoiled and the potatoes were in
the same condition. The beef was absO-
lutely tasteless
Colonel Gillespie-To what did you at
tribute the lack OF taste?
Major Jackson-l thought everything
had been cooked out of it.
Colonel Giliespie-What do you mean by
stringiness?
Major Jackson-When you would try to
cut IT it would fall to pieces.
Colonel Gillespie-Then it was like fiber?
Major Jackson-Yes, that is it,

High school site Question.

President Sims OF the Board of Education
returned yesterday from Des Moines. While
In the Capital city he called on State Super
intendent of instruction Barrett who in
formed him that he would hear the High
school site appeal case July Is. If not heard
on that day he will be unable to give it
his attention until toward the latter part
of August.
So far the board has taken no steps look
ing toward Issuing the s67 900 High school
bonds and will not until forced to do so by
the courts. Cashier Hannah of the First
National bank il Is understood. will bring
suit to compel the board to issue the bonds
to him. The board is in somewhat of q
dilemma. On the one hand the bank says
it will bring suit if the bonds are not issued,
while on the other hand the opponents to
the Oakland avenue site threaten to COM
mence injunction proceedings the moment
the board attempts to issue them.
1t is understood that the owners of the
Oakland avenue site are becoming tired of
waiting for the purchase price of the prop
erty and threaten to bring suit to recover
unless the board produces the cash within
a short time. This the board however, can
not do, as by Judge Green's injunction it
is restrained from paying for the site until
the appeal case is disposed of. The mem
bers of the board have about decided to
take no action in the matter of the new
High school until ordered by the courts,
and by following this rule they expect to
keep clear of any legal entanglements.
