story.
Hattie Lowell said she was at Miss
whitney's house during the afternoon be-
fore the dance, and she described some
some occurrences there which did not re

sorihed the water splitting event, saying
that Miss whitney stepped to the door
and spat watsr out without closing the

her stomach. going clean over the table,
Miss whitney tried to ride mans bicycle
In one corner of Ethe froom, but slipped.
She also tried cake walk between the
tables, She was pretty lively during this
time
Cross-examined-The happenings at the
Whitney house made no difference In her
relations with Miss whitney. Have seen
the man she knows as Dan Roach several
times since the dance. Don't know wheth-
er she knows him by his oorrest name.
Michael A, MCCARTHY attended the Sa-
baths dance. Saw Miss Whitney at inter-

following Tuesday. There was nothing
about her appearance to indicate she had
been through the experiences described.
The walk where she describes the assault
as having taken place Is well lighted.
John Marshall, an employe of the street
railroad, was called. lie said that at
10. 80 he went into the sink room and saw
Miss Whitney standing there. She had
half pint bottle In one hand and in
the other glass half full of a brown
fluid. This she lifted to her lips and
drank. Then che went upstairs.

whitney became historical, crying
out that the man was lying about her,
and that she didn't want to stay and hear
him lie about her. She was finally re-
moved from the court room.
Marshall was the last witness. Argu-
ments were made by the attorneys, and
then Judge Mitchell announced his de-
cision, discharging all of the respondents.
He said that even II Miss Whituey's state
Inent was true, which he intimated be
didn't bslieve, there was no evidence upon
which to hold the respondents. He criti-
oized severely Lewiston evening lpaper
for the statements 1t had published in
connection with the case.1 He said they
were untrue. and the publication was en-.
| tirely unjustified.

Catarrh of Long
Standing is one of
the Most Stubborn
Diseases to Cure.
A Medicine That VIII
Cure Such Case S
Deserves a Very
High Place i'm the
Annals of Medical
Discovery.
Such q Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
pie. A large proportion of these letters
arc written by men and women promi-
nent in business and professional cir
cles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Take for instance Colonel John Frank
lin Waters, who occupies a prominent
position among tho leading trial lawyers
of Chicago. He has probably obtained
more verdicts against corporations in
suits for personal injuries than any
man of his age in the United States, and
during his practice of over fifteen years
he has not lost a single case in the Su-
preme Courts OF Illinois and Missouri.
He is hard worker and has the energy
of four men.
For q number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured of
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
in which he gave the following state
ment to the public:
CHICAGO, I'LL, Aug. G, 1900.
Tho Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Genflen1en---"H gives me great
pleasure to testify to the merits o.
such a worthy remedy for catarrh as
your Pergna. I had suffered for a
number of years from this very dis
agreeable disease and had tried many
so-caIfed remedies, but until used
Peruna none had the desired effect. !
feel thar i am perfectly cured and can
cheerfaHy recommend Peruna to any

The managers of the campaign for
John Martin and George w. Clark, fu-
sion nominees for judge of the district
court and county attorney, are max
ing a house to house canvass of the
wards in the city of Topeka to discover
alleged and suspected frauds in the reg
istration of voters.
The registration books show an un-
precedented number of voters in the
First and Second wards. Today men
in possession of certified copies of the
poll books are going from house to
house in those two wards, inquiring if
persons registered as residing there real
ly exist.
One man, whose name the committee
concealS, stated to the mana gers of this
campaign that the registration books

Others have reported to the commit
tee in charge of this investigation that
strangers have been registered from
other towns; that fictitious names ap-
pear on the records, and have pointed
out other instances of fraud in the regis
tration-
The purpose of this investigation is
to uncover these cases of fraud, if such
exist and to deprive the alleged voters
from the right of casting their ballots
on election day.

YOUNT DENIES.
Commissioner of Elections Yount said
this morning that he had heard the 1-u-
mors. but that he had not heard of one
case where there were any grounds for
the rumors. Il know Of one case where
the Republicans had a man on the list
who they said was an Illegal voter, but
the man has lived in the city for twenty
years and is certainly entitled to the
right to vote. He is a Republican, too,
and I told them so, but they can chal-
lenge his vote if they want to-
There never was a cleaner registration
in the city, as all the efforts to find IL
legal voters have so far proved futile.

MACK LOVES WARNING.
He Thinks Republicans May Do
Something Awful

The election next Tuesday will mark
the finish of such warnings as the fol-
lowing, issued by the Democratic state
committee at Kansas City:
I'VE have reliable information that
the Republicans will make an effort to
hire some of the Fusion voters in each
voting precinct to stay away from the
polls on election day. and will also use
other methods and influence to prevent
our people from voting or to induce
them to reamin away from the polls.
ANY such attempts made by the Re-
publicans to induce our people not to
vote or to keep them away from the
polls on election day should be given
your active attention and promptly ex-
posed.
IF the Republicans are willing to re-
sort to such methods as hiring our peo-
pie to remain away from the polls, ad-
wise our voters to take the money Of
fered by the Republicans and then go to
the polls and vote-thus showing their
loyalty to the peoples cause.
THE judges and clerks of election in
every voting precinct should be instruct
ed to count each vote on the tally sheet
under the head of Democratic or Peo-
pies party, just as it appears on the bal
lot. When both of our tickets have been
recorded on the tally sheet have one
head, it has resulted in our parties Sc
curing only one judge and clerk of cleo
tion.'s

CARLISTS HELD DOWN.
Spanish Government Was Pre-
pared For the Rising.

New York, Nov. 2.-The first band of
Carlists which appeared at Barcelona,
40 men strong, has been dispersed, says
dispatch to the Herald from BARGE
alada, another band, which also con-
sisted of 40 men, had an engagement
with the civil guard of whom two were
wounded, one mortally.
In an engagement between a few
''partidas' in the environs of Berga- in
all about 100 men, and the civil guard Of
Moses Escadra, two insurgents were
killed. Troops, both cavalry and infan-
try, are pursuing them. A new par
tida" of IA men has appeared at Ra-
vents bridge near Berga- Three depOts
of arms and equipments have been dis
have been closed.
The government follows the Carlist
movement with the greatest attention,
says a dispatch from Madrid
SenOr Ugarte, minister of the interior.
in an Interview insists that in the mani
feStatiOns which have taken place there
is no chief directing the '.partidas-"
General I-inares, the minister of war
attaches no Importance to the outbreak
at Barcelona The movement, he as
serts, is without Importance. Every
thing, however, has been foreseen, even
the improbable case Of an important
prOnunciannentO.
General Azcarraga, president of the
council, takes the same view of the
movement as the ministers of the in
terror and war. Senor Vazquez Mella,
the chief Of the Carlist party and former
member of the cortes, who is at present
in Madrid, disapproves of the move
ment. which he declares is of no import
ance.
In military circles the only import
ance that is attached to the rising is
that it may be a kind of test OF the
fidelity Of certain generals.

Washburn Will Make Any Old Ar

ra ngements For Another Game
The Washburn players and the en-
thusiastic hackers OF the team are
anxious to have the blue meet the cherry

anxious to see another game
The second game is wanted. of course.
to allow Washburn to have revenge
which the players are certain they can
secure IN fair contest. An effort will
be made to have the teams meet again
on November "a 1t is doubtful if the
d. A C would leave their home town
and the idea now is to challenge the
Denver team for another game on their
home grounds on the oath. The crowd
which backed Washburn during the
Denver game is willing to make a side
bet with the D. A. Q. people of 81 900
that Washburn will take the game. All
football enthusiasts and the Washburn
players are anxious for the match 70
be made.
It is doubtful if D. A. c. viii consent
20 a second game as they feel certain of
defeat in fair deal, as all the Colorado
papers agree that Washburn is the
strongest team in the west. The Denver
Posts account of the Colorado Springs
game contains the following:
The score at the end of the game
was 29 to in favor of Washburn. It
has been years since a. defeat so severe
has been given to the Tigers. The In
something wonderful It could not well
be better, and its excellence frequently
helped in the gains made"
The Colorado Springs Telegraph's ac-
count of the game contained the follow
ing:
The game was all that could be de-
sired from spectacular standpoint and
the Tigers made a heroic defense against
great Odds From the outset it could
be seen by everyone that they were
clearly outclassed and that only by a
run of luck and a, happy combination of
circumstances could they hone to win
in their favor and their luck held only
long enough to enable them to make one
touchdown From the start to the finish
they fought desperately, and every man
in the team got into the game
Washburn outclassed the Tigers in
weight, in experience and in everything
else that goes to make a football team,
but this is not extraordinary when it is
known that Coach Ewing and Captain
Griffith have made out Of four men to
start with team that will almost be-
yond doubt win the intercollegiate
championship, and that the Washburn
according to the best judges. could make
a team for any eastern college without
trouble
ITO those who saw the game yester-
day it was very apparent that the Jay
hawkers could tuck away any team in
the state without trouble and If it had
not been for a questionable ruling in
the D "A. c. game. the scalps Of that
team would have been dangling from
the waists of the blue-shir'ted warriors
