FIRST POSTAL TRIAL.
Daniel V. Miller and Joseph N.
Johns the Defendants.
The Government Charges Them With
Conspiracy For the Purpose OF OBJ
tanning Money From J. J. Ryan,
Turf Commissioners.

Cincinnati, Oct 14-The first trial
under about two dozen indictments
against post office officials, secured in
different parts of the country by the
government recently, was begun here
Tuesday The defendants are Daniel
VOORHEES, Miller, OF Terre Haute, Ind,
formerly assistant attorney general for
the post office department at Washing
ton. and his friend, Joseph M. Johns,
an attorney at Rockville, Ind.
The government charged a conspi--
acy between these defendants for the
purpose OF obtaining money from John
j. Ryan, a turf commissioner with Of
fees in Cincinnati and ST Louis, for
protecting him from post Office officials
in the use of the mails for his schemes.
Miller claims absolute ignorance OF
any transaction that may have occur
red between Ryan and Johns.
Johns claims that he made an ordi-
nary contract with Ryan as attorney
to assist in securing decision from
the postal department after presenta-
ton of the case
Both defendants emphaticaily deny
any understanding between themselves
or with Ryan or any conspiracy. The
most eminent counsel are engaged on
both sides. Miller and Johns were old
friends, having lived in adjoining cOun-
ties in Indiana for years, where both
have been prominent politically, pro-
fessionally and otherwise.
While District Attorney Sherman
Mcpherson and his assistants, Mouli-
nier and Darby, have been working on
the case for some time, they were as
sisted Tuesday by Charles H. Robb,
assistant attorney general for the pos
tai department at Washington; D. c..
Cochran, chief of post Office inspec-
tors; Inspectors Vickery and Fulton,
who arrested Miller and Johns, and
Others,
The defendants have been indicted
Jointly on six counts of conspiring to
bride John J. Ryan & Co., Of Cincin-
natl and st. Louis. The government
has called a dozen witnesses and tho
defense three times that many, so that
it is not expected that the arguments
will be reached until the latter part of
the week. The witnesses Tuesday
were Richard NJ Webster, clerk in
the legal department of the postmaster
general at Washington; J. NJ Morrow,
telegraph operator at Rockville. Ind.
and John ]. Ryan, the latter being on
the stand when court adjourned AS
Ryan's direct examination has not
been completed, it is thought that most
up with his testimony regarding his
transaction with postal officials in
Washington and later with Johns as
the alleged middle man at meetings in
Terre Haute. Cincinnati and st. Louis.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re-
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country but there is one right mere
IN Franksville which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been gwen
to the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had beep
a sick woman for quite long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms CT what
ls generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of weakness and, suffering.
Mrs. MarkisOn CHANGED one day TO hear
of new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills..
that was said to be splendid medicine for
womens weakness. She determined to trY
some. and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs Markison says
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
as remedy for female weakness. They are.
the best medicine [ have ever known, and
have done me great deal of good.

John r. E1S;dge, well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before justice of the peace
In one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use a slang express
sion, had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald
In field near the court room a donkey
was feeding just as Mr. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray.
Just minute, Mr. Eldridge, just min
ute, said the justice blandly. Il cannot
hear two at once"
The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
she Justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re-
sounded through the court room. Mr.. FL
bridge placed his hand at his ear.
Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?" he said in his mildest tones. There
was such an echo that | could not under
stand -.,
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.
