CHARLES F. JONES.
Curry, but Patrick said DR.. Curry
would not do anything of the kind"
Jones said that, at Patrick's sugges-
tion, he then procured chloroform and
laudanum from his brother in Texas
and delivered it to Patrick.
Jones said that he gave the poison
to Patrick about three weeks before
Rice's death. He also testified that
Patrick was never introduced to Rice,
that Rice never saw Patrick but once,
and that he did not know Patrick
when he saw him.
Regarding the alleged forged will
witness swore that in December, 1899,
Patrick first approached him about
the drawing Of a will. Jones was to
draw the document on his typewriter
and get Rice to sign it when his mind
was not quite clear.
Jones had told Patrick he swore
that the signing Of the will might be
arranged but that it would be more
difficult to obtain witnesses.
Patrick proposed they should try to
get the witnesses of the will of 1896.
Jones afterwards approached Mr..
Weatherbee, the clerk in Swenson &
Sons Office, to get him to act as a
witness. Weatherbee refused and
threatened to take Jones "head OFF,
if he dared to suggest any fraudulent
schemes against Rice

tion of an act of the Philippine COM
mission entitled can act to prevent
discrimination against money of the
United States by banking institu-
tions."
The act provides that every bank
of deposit in the Philippine islands
shall accept deposits both in the
money Of the United States and in
Mexican and other local money and
shall honor checks on or repay such
deposits in the kind of money in which
they are made. This means that de-
posits in gold must be paid to depos-
itors in gold. The banks claim that
this is unjust, that frequently gold de-
posted is not retained in the bank
and that they are willing to pay de.
positors in silver equal to the value of
the gold. The papers filed with Sec
retary Root allege that the act is un-
constitutional and ask that it be re-
pealed.

(Bensun's Plaster Is Pains Master)

These are days of records and of the beat
Ing Of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness Of action and thoroughness Of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than e0er. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly -and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug.
gists (and q thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one Of the few G! homo remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it In competition with the best known
plasters Of Europe and America. Better
proof OF its merits is uncomfortable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

I was very anxious to become bene-

said this would never do. as there
would be a suspicion of undue in

therefore, would not be admitted to
probate"
Continuing, the witness said Patrick
