The spring campaign is going to
open sooner to the merchant who
prizes the season open with the right
kind of publicity. II the right work
ia dope the merchant with the strong
intention will have no difficulty in
lining out a considerable amount OF
business before the other fellow sees
the need Of making a start.
ALL the good of advertising rests
with letting people know at the
proper time that values are carried
in the stock and that those who
come to buy will get the full worth
of their mouey. 1t is not wise to
talk about dollars worth for fifty
cents, because people know II is an
impossibility; but it is wise to talk
about the right things at the right
prices and TO insist on people having
all that they can get for the money
they are spending

Arguments Soon to Begin in
Trial of Martucio

Expert Witnesses Recalled BY State II

Over Sunday-Arguments BY Coun
sci viii Occupy Time the First Of
the Week.
Little progress has been made In
the Martucio trial since Friday neon
The examination of physicians n
expert witnesses was continued by
the defense. Doctors Fitch, Glib
bons, Edmundson and others we're
called.
Saturday morning Harry Muldoon
the stenograpbes for Cox and Baker,
and who was sent to take the testi
mony given at the trial before the
justice given to Martucio at the
home OF Edward White soon after
the crime was committed, testified
as to the evidence recorded by him
on that occasion.
Policeman Shoemaker. who was
present at the examination of the
prisoner in the sheriff's Office was
called to testify as to condition OF
prisoners person.
Frank Cox was called as q witness
by the defense, and testified that he
had heard whispered conversation
between Mrs. Edward White and
her daughter, after they came in the
court room on the day that the girl
gave her testimony, and that Mrs.
White had pointed in the general
direction Of where the prisoner was
sitting The attempt 10 being made
to prove that Mrs White deslgnat
ed the prisoner to the little girl, ne
fore The latter went on the witness
stand Cox and Baker were appoint
ed to defend the prisoner at the DC
tober term OF court, but we're after
ward released. when the trial was
postponed, and VIM. E. slasscock
was appointed in their stead, and
Mr.. Cox is now in no way connected
with the case.
After the testimony of Mr.. Cox,
the defense rested Its case and the
state began to call witnesses in re
buttal. All the physicians who had
been summoned for expert testimony
by the defense we're recalled by the
State. Also deputy sheriff A. L.
Demoss, Geo. Rogers and others.
The witnesses in rebuttal to testi
mony of defense were continued af
ter dinner, but it VAS thought the
taking of evidence might be con-
cluded, and arguments begin some
time this afternoon.
In any event the jury will have to
be held over Sunday 1t has been on
duty continuously now since Monday
morning, and has not been allowed to
leave the conrt house, except to take q
walk for exercise, accompanied by the
sheriff only. Jurymen and the public
would welcome some method of ex2m-
lining witnesses In which tilts between
attorneys could be avoided, and q trial
pushed to conclusion. The attorneys
have been remarkably good natured 10
this case, but they have fought every
inch Of the wav where there was Q
shadow OF chance for objection to be
raised against questions being pro-
pounded by the opposite side.
The court house will probably be
crowded more than ever, when the
arguments by counsel are taken up.
The jurymen will have Sunday to
rest as best they can, housed up N
The court house, and not allowed to
see anyone outside their fellow jur-
ors.

The Commoncr, Mr. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting
aud instructive during the present
session of congress. The action OF
this congress will probably deter
s,ipe the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will lie fought
I'he Commoner proposes to carry on
u ca npaign of education and organi-
xstion to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In additiol To the editorial de-
pertinent, which receives Mr.. Bry
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains a Current Topic de-
partment, wherein a non-partisan
discussion of topics OF timely inter
est aud other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
Inept is conducted by an experiences
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
IN all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scriptirn price. The other de, art
ments of the paper arc all interest
ing and ably conduct ed. among
which is summary of tn worlds
news told in narrative style, and
NJ Maupin's deparipen'--Wh III
erCommon or Nnt-contains origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in

peals to old and Young alike.
The Commoner AS a whols is clean
entertaining and instructive. and It's
rapid increase in circulation now
amounting to l40,000-is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
monerSc can be supplied at very low
rate with The New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for 800. Tits
offer applies to both new and renew
d subscriptions, and should be taken
advantage of without delay. All
