 KAY DEENER TESTIFIES FOR THE STATE.
 Justice Smiths court recon vened promptly at g o'clock this morning, and Kay Deener was recalled by the state. The wit ness said he had private con- versation with Roberts in his office. He had gone to Roberts to collect a laundry bill and he asked Roberts when he was go- ing to get "our part of the money" Roberts told him and Nicely to keep their mouths shut and they would get their part of the money as soon as the insur- ance could be collected. Roberts offered him and Nicely $250 each at one time, said the witness. Witness later met Roberts in St. Louis on the fair grounds. Rob- erts went to St Louis before witness and his party did. As soon as Roberts saw witness he called him to one side and began talkingto him about the matter.
 SHARP DISCRIMINATION.
 On cross-examination Deener said he lived in Searcy with his relatives and was unmarried. He was in the laundry business.
 ''Is it not a fact that you are gambler, and run a gambling den in violation of law?" asked MT. Pace for the defense.
 Witness said he was not on trial and refused to answer the question. The attorneys began Wrangling and two or three were on the floor at one time.

She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope less-Cured by
 0-ru-na.

MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent 1X1 Superintendent of the W. c. T. U. headquarters, at Galesburg, Ill.,, was for ten years one of the leading women there. Her husband, when living, was first President of the Nebraska Wes- leyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
 In letter written from 4O1 Sixty Elehart1 says the following in regard to PerunG:
 Having lived very active life as wife and working partner of busy minister, my health failed me few years ago. l lost my husband about the same time, and gradually seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is . confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator.
 "One of my neighbors advised me 10 try Peruna. A bottle was immediately secured and q great changef00k place in my daughters as we'll as in my own health. Our appefifes improved very greatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and resffM sleep soon improved LIS, so that we seemed like new women.

 What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female diseases.
 Dr. Hartman was among the first of Americas great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that . woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Peruna for these cases and found 1t 30 admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now kbecome the most famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Every where the women are using it and prais- Ing 1t. Peruna is nota palliative sim 1ply; 1t cures by removing the cause of female disease.

DEENER AND NELLY
 SAW GRAVE ROBBERS.
Testify Against John Roberts In Trial at Judsonia a-Ligh htle Sought Stiff From Ol
 Kirkland-Oldfeld
 Subpoenaed.

Judsonia, September 23. Kay Deener and Dandridge Nicely, two young men who saw three persons in the. cemetery in Searcy on the night the grave of Ed Pitts was robbed, were on the witness stand today and tes- tifed for the state in the trial of ex-Mayor John V. Roberts on a charge of violating the grave. While their testimony threw no new light on the Lightle life in- surance affair, it was none the less, interesting. The defense SOL lght to impeach the testimo- ny,of Deener, Nicely and Gre gory.
 It was brought out today that the exact amount refunded by Mrs. Lightle to the life insur- ance companies was $l5, ,OOO, and that Mrs. Lightle was paid $375.
 Indications this evening are that the trial may conclude to- morrow evening.
 MIR. oLDFIELD sUBPOENAED.
 As a side issue, interest at- taches to the fact that Prose- cutting Attorney w. A. Oldfield of Batesville has been subpoena ed as a witness. MT. Oldfield is said to be an avowed candidate for congress from this district against Hon. $. Brundidge Jr., in 1906. When Walter Gregory, who turned states evidence in the Lightle and Roberts cases, was on the witness ,stand yester- day he was asked by counsel for the defense if he did not get pay from MT. Oldfield to act as a de-

county, testified that he found the trunk of the body at the barn and found that the shoulder bone had been broken. He also found the keys, watch, etc., which he recognized as the property of Dr. Lightle.
 Mir. Pace, for the defense, ask ed witness a number of questions regarding the charred body found in the debris of the fire. The body had been dressed and the coat was burned off, but the vest and trousers remained.
 ''Mr. Mover, do you know any thing about Gregory's character and standing in Searcy?'' asked MT. Pace.
 MT. Andrews-Mr. Pace, are you going to make the witness yours now?
 "Yes, I am," said MT. Pace. q want to know how Gregory stands in Searcy."
 Witness thought Gregory of bad character, and a shiftless young fellow and a drunkard.
 MT. Andrews recalled the time when Gregory worked for the railroad two or three seasons at Newport. Witness didn't know about the matter, but said Greg ory remained idle over two thirds of the time while in Searcy.
 Didn't Gregory work for the railroad, and wasn't he discharged because he stole whiskey from the railroad?'
 Tt was so rumored," said the  witness.
 "I object" said MT. Andrews.
 "Oh, yes, we know you object, y said MT. Pace, "but you didn't object yesterday when you led the witness, and now you don't think sauce that is good for the goose is good for the gander.
 MT. Pace and MT. Andrews were on the floor at the same time, and the court called for or der.
 ''Is it not a fact that Gregory stole $14 from a guest of Mrs.

will it take to examine fifty four? Do not take up too much time."
 MT. Pace, continuing, asked witness eff Medley was not his 'flunkey' and cleaned up his spit toons in his gambling den and dished out checks.'
 Witness refused to answer.
 Don't you all drink and get drunk together?" said MT. Pace. "I don't know" said witness. We drink together sometimes. "
 Witness said he and Nicely took a walk about 10 o'clock on the night of April 26. They were taking a walk for their health, and saw three persons pass them before the cemetery. was reach ed. He couldn't tell who they were, but heard them talking and thought it was John Roberts voice, and thought a woman was with him. Witness said he didn't testify at Dr. Lightle's trial that he recognized Roberts voice. Witness said he found Gregory drunk in the city park in Searcy one night and Gregory told him all about the scheme to to rob insurance companies, and Gregory offered him money to keep his lip" and not tell on them, but witness refused to take it. He knew of the SUD- posed body to be burned three weeks before it was burned, but was afraid to tell any one. He was afraid they would hurt him.
 ''Is it not a fact that you, Gregory and Nicely robbed Pitts grave and carried the body in your laundry wagon?"
 No, it is not true," said the witness. C.
 Didn't you tell Roberts that the reason you and Nicely were out near the cemetery was that you and Nicely went out there to meet some girls?" asked MT. Pace.
 No, we din't.
 Witness told about Nicely giv- ing him $40 before he went to Louisiana, and on his return they went to the fair together.
 Witness said Roberts offered him $500 to keep still, but he wouldn't accept it. He went with Roberts to Little Rock, and Rob- erts tried to phone to Mrs. Lightle in Perryville from the Capital hotel in Little Rock, but Mrs. Lightle was ten miles from Perryville, in the country.
 ''Now, MT. Witness" inquired Mir. Pace, when did you first tell the insurance people about what you knew of this matter?'
 'I didn't tell any one until af- ter John Roberts and Gregory were arrested-yes, I told one fellow as we came from the fair, as I had seen in the papers that they had two young men from Searcy who were in St. Louis connected with the matter. :" Nicely watched the undertak- CT, Al Chichester and King the night the grave of Ed Pitts was examined and witness left for St. Louis to tell Roberts.
 Deener was on the stand over an hour and was then excused.
 QUEST FOR DEAD BODY. D. O. Kirkland of Little Rock was the next witness called by the state. He said he was in the grocery and liquor business. Roberts did not ask about a body, but Dr. Lightle talked to the medical students relative to a stiff" Roberts and witness transacted some business and Dr. Lightle remarked that per have ho oo,,1J Erot o sc+;ff, O

Russia, however. broke in under cover
of timber concession. In 1896 Nj. Bry-

init to cut timber on the Korean side OF
the Yalu river, which forms the boundary
between Korea and Manchuria. The CON

Russian government.

pan went to war with China in 1894 on
the proposition that Korea must be indie
pendent. She will war with Russia on
the same issue, if necessary.
Korea is essential to Japan as source
OF food supply, as an outlet for the sur
plus of the swarming Japanese popula-
ton and for strategic reasons. Possession
is not necessary, but that the country be
kept open is vital to Japan. The latter
country is not rich in agriculture, and the
people i've mIgrty ffSn. Even now tne
country is not self-supporting and food
must be imported. With the growth of
the country this condition must grow
worse. The natural point to which to look
for relief is the neighboring peninsula of
Korea.
Russia wants Korea for its ports, its
trade and to extend its influence in China.
On three occasions Russia has solemnly
declared that she would never occupy
Korea These promises were made in 1885,

Last October Japan made formal de-

that both powers should respect the indie

Japan should have the same rights in
Korea that were exercised by Russia in
Manchuria.
The answer to these proposals was not
made by Russia until last week. 1t has

Russia refused to discuss Manchuria and

and Deputy United States Marshal Fred
NJ. Lathe left at midnight last night for
Port Townsend to arrest the five men and
bring them to Seattle. Captain Stuart is
wanted for having aided in the escape of
Layton, who had been arrested by the
United States marshal for assaultmg a
deckhand. Layton saw that he was in for
few days on shore and asked to be per-
mitted to go aboard the tug for his dun
mage. Accompanied by Deputy Marshal
Berry. he went aboard the tug just as
Captain Stuart was getting ready to leave
for Port Townsend The officer didn't
want to go to Port Townsend, so he
scrambled back onto the wharf, while the
boat swung out into the channel with the
prisoner. And now the deputy marshal is
getting the merry ha-ha from his brother
officers.
The other members of the crew are
wanted as witnesses. The assault on the
deckhand occurred two months ago.
