BURTON MUST Be TRIED
Federal Judge Adams Overrules De.
murrer Raised by the Kansas
Senator 10 Rialto Grain Case.
SAYS GOVERNMENT IS INTERESTED
The Contention Of Burton That the Post
master General Did Not Have Author
ity tn Forbid Use of Nails to Burton'a
Client Brushed Aside by the Judge -
Unworthy OF Notice.

St Louis, Feb. 17.-Judge Adams,
In the United States district court.
overruled the demurrer of United
States Senator Joseph r. Burton, of
Kansas, to the indictment charging
him with accepting money for using
his influence in preventing the issu-
ance of fraud order against the
Rialto Grain & Securities company.
The trial was set for March o. A
panel of 60 jurors has been ordered
for that date. In reading his decision,
Judge Adams consumed 25 minutes,
giving each point raised by the de-
PENDANT careful analysis. Both Sem
ator Burton and Maj. Hugh C. Den
Ills, president of the Rialto Grain &
Securities company, were in court.
The indictment grew out of the
troubles of the Rialto Grain & Securi-
ties company when that concern ran
foul of the United States post Office
department and further use of the
mails was denied it. 1t is charged
that for $500 month, Senator Burton
was to use his influence to have the
embargo removed. In fling the de-
murrer to the indictment the defend
ant contended that the postmaster gen.
eral did not have the authority to for
bid the Rialto company the use of the
mails or to issue fraud order. Also
that there was no substantial Oh arge
of fraud at the time. Both of these
questions were dismissed by Judge
Adams, with the remark that he was
not impressed with them. The question
as to whether the United States was
interested in the case called for more
extended opinion, but Judge Adams
held that it was interested. He then
ordered the case to be tried March %.
Judge Adams decision was, in part
as follows: I'm my opinion, the gov.
eminent Of the United States is inter-
ested in matters of inquiry and inves-
tigation pending before it's executive
departments looking toward the en-
forcement of its law in higher meas
ure of legal obligation, as an ordinary
agent Is bound by contract between
himself and his principal to perform
his duties. No one would question for
moment that such an agent would
be interested. even in a pecuniary
sense, in the performance of his duty.
On failure to do it, legal liability might
accrue against him."

THE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
catarrh, the most common and dreadful
of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat Thenfollows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
q cold all the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting, frequent clearing of the throat.
noStrils stopped mp, full feeling in the
head and sore, inhamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a COM
mon cold. thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chrouio catarrh By a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is necess airy to complete .
cure. Peruna has cured cases innuner-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. It is the best, If not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butprevension Is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of the year and
Thus prevent what is almost certain to
end IN chronic catarrh.
