JUDD'S SLAYER FREE.
Justice Said the Action of Mrs.
Walker Was Heroic.

Las Vegas. N NJ, April SIN the
opinion of Justice of the Peace Wooster,
Mrs. c. B. Walker was entirely justified
in killing her aged assailant, J. S. Judd.
of Topeka, Kan. At the conclusion Of
the preliminary trial yesterday he re-
fused to hold her to the grand jury. The
crowd in the court room broke into loud
applause when he announced that the
prisoner was discharged.
The prosecution argued that the kill
ing Of Mr.. Judd was not necessary be-
cause Mrs. Walker might have fled from
the room, or called for help. Further
more, it was argued that Mr.. Judd had
attempted to accomplish his purpose by
persuasion rather than force.
Justice Wooster, a man Of 81, was
much impressed, however, by the testi-
mony for the defense.
If he deprived the defendant of her
liberty, he said, he would be ashamed
to look his wife or sister in the face He
spoke of the prisoners action as heroic,
and said that an invalid woman at
tracted to New Mexico by the hope that
the climate would restore her to health
should not be sent to prison because. in
order to protect her honor, she was
driven to take the life of her assailant.
The prosecution asserts that it will get
the case before the grand jury.

TO LIVE Or TO DIE
The Next Five Months Will
Decide This Question
FOR THOUSANDS.

Hundreds Of men and women afflicted
with coughs. catarrh. bronchitis and
consumption are just now congratulat-
ing themselves that winter is over and
the warm months coming, which brings
relief to their weakened lungs and the
hope of recovery to their hearts.
One thing, however, is certain, warm
weather will not kill the germs which
cause these diseases and unless they are
destroyed before the next winter, thous-
ands will never see another summers
sun.
OF all seasons in the year, the months
of June, July, August and September
affords the sufferer from respiratory
diseases the best opportunity to stamp
out these terrible scourges, and if con-
sumptives and people affected with ca
tarrh and bronchitis can only be taught
that this season is the one during which
nature exerts all her influence to cast
off these diseases. they would do their
utmost to assist her.
It is perhaps unnecessary to again re-
mind YOU that according to Govern
ment Statistics, no remedy ever given
for these diseases reduced the death
rate from them in the least until
Hyomei, the new dry-air germlcide
was found, and that since then the
deaths from consumption alone, have
fallen off over thirty. per cent annually.
Such are the facts however, and if per-
sons suffering from consumption or any
other germ disease of the air passages
viii use the new. remedy faithfully dur
ing the next five months, they can com
pletely destroy the germs causing the
disease and in this way only free them
selves from these terrible maladies.
No teaspoonful doses are required.
You simply carry the Hyomei Inhaler
in your mouth for ten or fifteen min
utes four times daily, and breathe
naturally. No expense is incurred until
you are positive that it viii benefit

The women are all talking about Pc
runa. OF course they are. Why should
they not2 Peruna is the remedy that
cured them. If they have cold, Pc
runa cures them They have found that
out by experience.
If they are hoarse or have a cough,
they find Peruna an unfailing remedy.
Weak lungs, and even the first stages OF
consumption, Peruna promptly restores,
and then there are q host of women
who have a slight arrangement of the
stomach and digestive organs. All
these arrangements are of a catarrhal
nature. Peruna comes TO the rescue at
once. A very short course of Peruna
is sufficient to put the stomach right
and to make the assimilation of the
food perfect.
But this is not all. This does not ex-
actly explain why the women especially
are talking about Peruna. Men, the
same as women, have found Peruna
useful in the above mentioned ailments.
The reason that Peruna is such a spe-
cial favorite with women is something
more than all this.
Women are subject to pelvic catarrh.
This condition has been called all sorts
the general phrase, female diseases.
Peruna cures these cases. Peruna
cures them because it cures catarrh
wherever located. The nature of most
of these ailments is catarrhal
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ
of the body. It is especially liable to
attack one or more organs of the fe-
male pelvis- No wonder women talk

STUDENTS BACKED DOWN.
Threatened Strike at K. U. Failed to
Materialize.

Lawrence. Kan. April s.-The strike
threatened by the sophomore and fresh
man classes of the University of Kansas
of Kansas as a result of the suspension of
2S members of the classes for participation
in the class fight two weeks ago, did not
materialize- Parental influence during the
few days vacation undoubtedly operated
against carrying out of the project and
a more mature consideration of the Situa-
ton convinced many of the students that
a strike would not be polite just at pres
ent
The following petition was. posted about
the halls and copies are being circulated
for signatures:
We, the undersigned. students of the
University Of Kansas, believing the severe
punishment inflicted upon certain students
for taking part in a class fight to be un-
warranted, do respectfully petition the
board of regents to investigate the affair
fully"
The regents Will meet either the. latter
part of this week or next and the pc
tition will be submitted to them.
All the classes had meetings at noon
Tuesday and the matter was discussed IT
seems probable, judging from the senti-
ment Of the meetings, that all the students
will sign the petition. There is a feeling
throughout the student body that the
newspapers of the state have not been fair
to the students in the reports of the fight
and a committee has been appointed to
write a correct story of the fight and send
it to the leading papers for publication.

Baseball Pitchers Jealousy Causes

Los Angeles, April 9.-Rube Waddell

He had been "keepin' company with

He could get no answer, so he got on
car and went down in person.
The charmer had gone. The house
was empty.
Wadden thought to relieve his lone

He spoke to the fellow, but he
claimed that he was engaged to the

ALLISON EXPLAINS.
Iowa Senator Tells Why Philippines
Are to Continue on Silver Basis.

Are to Continue on Silver Basis.
Washington, April s.-The differences
of opinion between the two houses of
congress are so great that in advance
of the opening of the debate in the sen
ate Senator Allison was asked to ex-
plain the reasons for the senate finan-
ciaI system proposed for the Philip
pines. He recognized at once the neces-
Sity for such an explanation and said
with great earnestness: There is no
more connection between the financial
system of the United States and that
now existing in the Philippines than
there is between a cotton seed and
corn stalk.
1.-THE Philippines have had for a long
time an exclusive silver coinage. They
scarcely know anything else They
need subsidiary coinage more than
anything else. and that is the first
thing We propose to supply them with.
In large sections of the islands there
is no money at all, commerce being con-
Quoted in the way Of barter The ISL
ands are not even fairly pacified yet,
and it would be a great mistake for
this country to attempt to force upon
the Filipinos an American coin at an
arbitrary value.
What we propose to do is merely to
substitute for the old Mexican dollar a
Philippine dollar. 1t will not be re-
deemed by the United States, and this
country viii assume no liability on ac-
count of it. 1t viii circulate on it's
merits alone for what it is worth. The
United States merely guarantees the
quantity and quality of the silver in
the coin. It would be violent STEP to
say the least, to take away from the
Philippines the standards to which they
have been accustomed at this time
When they become completely paci-
fed and when they become adjusted to
American control it may be wise to ex-
tend the gold standard to the islands,
but it certainly would be highly inju-
dicious to do SO just now"
