ton. The questions were as follows:
lido you know anything about
$4,000 that was paid to one John A.
Lee?"
2.-"Do you know anything about
money paid to legislators at Jefferson
City,"
.3.-''Do you know anything about
money paid to legislators at St
LOUISE"
4.-"Do you have any knowledge Of
money paid to legislators by other

saying he had no knowledge of money
used by other persons to influence
legislation. He was taken to the grand
jury room to repeat the answer. Cir
cult Attorney Folk announced that he
expected to have Carroll back in two
weeks as witness again.

HE MAY GET WELL.
The Pope's Physicians Take an OPP.
timistic View.
An Operation Was Performed Tuesday
Afternoon Which Appeared to Relieve
Him, But IL Msy BE Only
TempOrary.

Rome, July S.-The pope on waking
at 6:55 this morning did not speak. He
was somewhat irritable and 1t seemed
as though the blankets and other bed
clothes were too heavy, SO he kicked
them off, at the imminent risk of TAX
ing fresh cold, which would be abb
solutely fatal. The doctors consider
that altogether his holiness has had q
rather peaceful night. All is tranquil
at the vatican this morning.
The alienation brought by yester-
days operation of removing the fluid
from the pleura was followed later in
the evening by restless period and
fresh doses of choral, digitalis and
caffeine had to be administered. I'm
der their influence the pontiff fell into
a slumber, which, however, was not
very peaceful on account Of the diff
Guilty the patient has in breathing.
1t is hoped that the pope's strength
will be maintained, as he has taken
somewhat more nourishment, seeming
to prefer the yolk of an egg with
small sips of stimulant, especially
brandy.
The pope yesterday morning ex-
pressed the desire Of again taking
communion, Notwithstanding the fact
that he received the last communion
on Sunday and extreme JUNCTION Mon
day evening. Monsignor Marzolini,
one of the chamberlains, therefore,
performed both ceremonies. The pope
showed great serenity, repeating that
he felt quite prepared to leave the
world. In spite of this he now and
then expressed the hope that he might
yet recover. The pontiff afterwards re-
ceived his niece and Count Canal, her
husband, who came purposely from
their home in the country to see him
again.
The pontiff continues to be greatly
interested in what the press says about
him, asks to be informed regarding
the printed opinions and views ex-
pressed and shows satisfaction on
learning that throughout the world
general regret at his condition is mar
ifested without distinction of creed or
politics.
