Washington, Nov. 5.--The Schley court
of inquiry reached the argument stage at
the beginning of the afternoon session

to listening to Admiral Schley and Capt.
Sfgsbee in making corrections of their tes-
timony, which had been given previously
and the introduction by Judge Advocate
LeInly of numerous documents bearing
upon different phases of the inquiry Ad-
miral Schley did not make any material
additions to his previous statements, but
devoted himself largely to the clearing I'D
of ambiguous points in his evidence An
effort was made to introduce two new wit
hesses, who were expected to give testi-
mony in Admiral Schleys behalf concern
ing the controversy as to what Informal
ton Capt. Sigsbee communicated to Adj
miral Schley when he arrived off Santiago
In May, 1898. One of these witnesses was
Frank b. Richards and the other George
Lynch, both of New York ard both news
paper correspondents who were on duty in
CUBA and in Cuban waters during the war
with Spain. Mr.. Lynch was on the press
boat Somers N. Smith, and Mr.. Richards

THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.
Capt BOEardus Has a. Dangerous Ex-
perience But Comes
Out Unhurt.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.
4th.-Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has
spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one of the features
of the Park during the season. He
has given many exhibitions and his
skill with the rife is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
It rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to
put it very mildly. This plucl1y man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such a
cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases,-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:-'I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else
