CHAPTER xxv.-Continued.
- The valet opened the door and John
&lrt entered.
For moment Blake did not recog-
rize him. The moustache and beard
had disappeared, and the strong regu-
lar lines OF John Burt's face were in
perfect harmony with the keen, calm
and discerning eyes.
Hello. Jim; what's the matter with
your"
Mall right, John, oil fellow; mall
Have drink, John! Glad to see YET"
Blake swayed and fell into John
Burt's arms. His flushed face and
reeking breath told their own story
without the help of the emptied de-
canter. Blake weighed two hundred
pounds, butt ohm picked him up and
laid him on the couch as il he were
a child.
y You're knocked out, JIM" he said.
Wake nap, old man. and you'll be
all right when you wake up"
With a dull smile on his lips Blake
sank into a deep slumber.
The minute hand of the little clock
crawled half its way around the circle
before John Burt left the side of his
friend. His eyes were fixed on the
motionless figure, but his thoughts
wandered far away.
Blake groaned and muttered in his
sleep. At first his words were inco-
herent, but as his excitement grew his
voice became distinct, and in higher
key he exclaimed:
This is awful-awful! What shall
l do; what shall l do? I love her!
love her, ard no one shall stand be-
tween us, no one, by God! no one,

moan and again he sank into quiet
slumber.

Voice From Arkansao.

Cleveland, Ark, August 10 (Spe-
cial) Nearly every newspaper tells
OF some wonderful cure OF some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great
American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this part of Arkansas is
not without its share Of evidence that
no case is too deeply rooted for
Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, we'll known and
highly respected here, tells OF his
cure after nearly quarter of cen
tury's suffering. Mr.. Carlile says:
IL want to let the public know
what | think of Dodd's Kidney Pills
l think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
II had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills
l recommend them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Brights Disease.

FIREMEN OVERCOME BY GAS.
In Battling With a Stubborn Fire, 43

men, four of whom will probabl ydie,
were overcome by smoke and gas at a
fire today in the sub-ceLar Of the dou-
BILE five story brick building at Nos. 4SS
and 4S5 Broadway, extending through
to Mercer street. Half hundred en-
ployees were driven from the building
and the damage inflicted by fire, water
end smoke was estimated at between
$50, 900 and $500, ,060 -
The fire was 50 situated that 1t was
difficult to fight it and it burned for
more than two hours before finally
brought under control. The smoke
from the burning material was so dense
and so pungent that the firemen could
work in it for but few minutes at a
time. and many of those who braved
it fell prostrate where they stood.
Some who fell lay unnotfced on the
floor for few minutes and one man
remained for nearly an hour before be-
ing finally discovered and dragged to
the open air to be cared for by a large
relief force which had been summoned.
The breaking of gas mains inside the
building and the consequent filing OF
the burning structure with the thous-
ands of cubic feet of Illuminating gas
added greatly to the difficulty and the
danger.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 29.-The boom for

given a decided forward movement by
a public meeting of delegates and
visitors at the state house, fol-
lowing the adjournment of the af-

whom over four hundred wore dele
gates badges. AlonZa E. Wilson, the

the nomination" said Mr.. Woolley,
'but 1 believe he will. 1 told him I

in his nomination unless he forbade me.

allow me to come under these circum-

Conversations with General Miles
were related by Mr.. Woolley in
which General Miles said the Prohibi-
tionists did wrong to confine them
selves to one issue. General Miles was
quoted as saying there would soon be
a breaking up of old parties and in the
realingnment the liquor question would
be one of the vital issues.
General Miles was quoted on author

critics of the individual and the enact
ment of any law which gives a judge
the power to prevent the free and un-
restricted discussion of questions which
may come before the court for adjudi
cation would in many instances defeat
the very object for which the courts
were established.
There may be instances where the
publication of editorials or other mat
ter in newspapers would bring the
author within the limitations of the
statute. For instance, if newspaper
editor should publish an article concern
ing trial, which was being considered
by a jury, and should send copy Of
the paper containing such article to the
jury, or a member thereof during the
progress Of the trial. for the purpose
of influencing them in their delibera-
tions. it would present a questios
whether such conduct would not be mis-
behavior in the presence of the court
or SO near thereto as to obStruct the
administration Of Justice.
We now come to the question whether
this courthas jurisdiction to hear and
determine the matter In controversy on
writ of habeas corpus.
In order to determine whether TVS
court has jurisdiction to hear this
cause in the proceeding now instituted,
the court whose action Is complained
Of, had authority to impose the judg-
ment.
1t appears that the distinguished
judge who adjudged the petitioner to
be in contempt of court exceeded the
authority granted in the act of 1881.
and that the court was without jurfs-
dtction. Such being the case the judg-
meAt Of the court Is void and therefore
nullity.

In the light of the recent decisions
Of the Supreme court of the United

that il the court whose action is COM
planned OF had no authority to pass
the sentence imposed the same is there
fore void, for the reason that the court
acted without jurisdiction. and, further,
that In such cases the party seekine 2
relief may be discharged on habeas

In view of the foregoing the cour,
finds that the petitioner is unlawfully
