The day was not devoid Of interesting
features. Judge Redden was severe in
his arraignment of many of the state
witnesses, notably DIN Castle, husband
of the slain woman. He declared that
Castle was willful perjurer. To this
attack Captain Waters replied charac-
teristically:

as greatly esteemed in this community

All of FL Dorado seemed to be in the

seemed to enjoy it as if it were a so

both Mrs. Castle and Jessie Morrison
were members, was present and seemed
pleased with Captain Waters arraign

Captain Waters talked for three hours,
requesting from Judge Shinn two ten
minute intermissions for wind in the
midst of his address.
Judge A. L. Redden, for the defense,
occupied the entire day. up to nearly
O'Clock last evening. In all he addressed
the jury seven and one-half hours. The
feature of his argument was the attack
upon Olin Castle, and he ended with
the declaration that it would not be
right to imprison Jessie Morrison and
permit Castle to remain free. The de-

"death-bed' statement of Mrs. Castle,
on the ground that it was not written

New York, Dec. 11-NIiss Dorothy Drew

broadside of kilograms, which are to be
used in her suit for $4,000 for breach of
promise If Mr.. Jeffries does not withdraw
his recent public statement that he had
not asked the actress to marry him.
The kilograms showed, Miss Drew as
serts, that for two months at least the
pugilist was ardent in his pursuit of her,
and that his anxiety to have her near him
and to be in constant communication win
her was so great that he could not wait
for the mails, but kept the wires warm
with his messages.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which Are Rapidly Max
ing New catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an import
ant point when it is recalled that many
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Ob1ectiona BILE ingredients.
Next Being in tablet form this rem
edy does not deteriorate with age. or an
exposure to the air as liquid prepara-
tons invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that it is only a ques-
ton of time when the tablet will en-
tireIy supersede liquid medicines as it
has already done in the medical depart
ment of the United States army
Next: No secret is made Of the COM
position Of Stuart's CatarFh Tablets:
they contain the active principle of
Eucalyptus bark, red gum blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics
which. however. are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they eli
inmate them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by 10
cal applications to the nose and throat,
because these are simply local symp
toms and such treatment can not posi-
bly, reach the real seat of catarrhal dis
ease which is the blood; for this reason,
inhalers, douchess sprays and powders
never really cure catarrh, but simply
give temporary relief which a dose Of
plain salt and water will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system. out Of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy
is the only kind which can be
assimilated into the blood
Quarts Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known
in modern science IN the antiseptic treat
nent Of the disease
Next: The use of inhalers, and spray
ing appartuses, besides being ineffec-
tive and disappointing is expensive,
while a complete treatment of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug
store in the United States and Canada
for so cents.

MeRAw LEAVES NATIONAL

Baltimore, Nd. Dec. I.-John NcGraw
has finally severed his connection with
the National league by signing a ten
years contract with Ban Johnson. which
gives him control of the Baltimore fran
chise in the new American league for
that length of time. McCSraW declares that
under the contract he made last season
with Frank Robson of St Louis he was
entirely free at the conclusion of the sea-
son and that Robson had no authority to
include him among his reserved players
BY his action, McGraW throws down the
gauntlet TO the National league magnates
He says the league managers can ex-
anime his contract, as well the league
laws. and he defieS them to find any reg

that while not looking for trouble

EMERGENCY RATION TEST.
Result of the Latest Expedition Re
garded as Satisfactory.


Wichita, Dec. 1.-THE final test of the
emergency rations was completed yes
terday by the experimental board of the
war department, and the troopers have
returned to Fort Reno. The march was
made into the Caddo and Wichita In
dian reservations and, as before, fifty
troopers were in command of CaptS.
Fountain and Foster. The last ration
tested was prepared by these two Off
GERS, under the Instructions of the war
department, and the board has come to
the conclusion that it's own rationS are
the best.
Two tests demonstrated that the ra-
ton will sustain the soldier in good
health and strength for a. period of five
days, and that, instead of its becoming
unpalatable on the last day. it becomes
more appetizing. On the other hand, the
ration compounded by two packing
companies has a nauseaing effect. Most
of the troopers who underwent the eX
pertinent were raw recruits. Capts- Eos
ter and Fountain have gone to Wash
ington to make their official report.
