ter:
"My wife has been sufferer from
a complication Of diseases for the past
twenty-five years. Her case has baf-
fed the skill of some Of the most
noted physicians. One of her worst
troubles was chronic constipation OF
several years standing. She was also
passing through that most critical
period In the life Of woman-change
of life.
"In June, 1895, wrote to you about
her case. You advised course of
Peruna and Manalin, which we at

completely cured her.
"About the same time wrote you
about my own case OF catarrh, which

Only Contempt Cases So Far.

The Supreme Court cases so far
tried are all contempt cases and the
offenders will all have to be tried upon
criminal charges later on by the Dis

Many Policemen Among Offenders.

Another surprising feature of the
whole proceeding is that such a large
proportion of the arrested and con-
victed election crooks were policemen
and other law officials and public EN-.
ployes.
or the first forty-one arrested, nine
teen were policemen, detectives and
court constables. deputies and other
police and county employes-just the
men who should have the most respect
for lawful authority. The very men
who are daily called upon to carry out
the mandates OF courts and enforce the
law were the first and most reckless
offenders against the Supreme Court
and the election laws.
In some places the Supreme Court
injunction when served was torn up. It
is said that Alderman Mahoney. one
OF the arrested men. tore the injunc-
ton into bits when II was served upon
him at the polling place. In some
places tho Supreme Court watchers
were thrown out and assaulted.

When the ward heelers figured that
there would be some way of getting
around the Supreme Court injunction,
they reckoIed without their host In
the first place, there was no jury to
take up time or to be packed"
The court enjoined the evil-disposed
to behave themselves and conduct the
election lawfully and honestly. Those
who violated this order were
promptly hauled up and promptly sent
to Jail. A high court rarely II ever in
terferes with lower court in its ef-
forts to enforce respect for its author
ity and dignity. and the appeal OF Sen
ator Patterson to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals was In vain,
and his friends Of the lower wards will

DENVER ELECTION
FRAUD SENSATION

The extraordinary disclosures Of
election frauds in Denver as result
Of the Supreme Courts inquiry into
the contempt cases against election
officials in that city has attracted the
attention Of the entire country.
Never in the history of Denver elec-
ton thievery has It been SO extensive
or SO brazenly committed, and never
before has punishment followed SO
swiftly upon the heels Of the crime.
The most astonishing feature OF the
whole matter is that the frauds were
perpetrated in utter defiance Of the SUI
preme Court injunction and in the
very faces of the official watchers of
the Supreme Court who were stationed
at all voting places.
There is but one explanation for this
extraordinary contempt for the power
of the highest court in the state.
Heretofore Escaped.
Heretofore the Denver election
thieves have escaped punishment upon
one pretext or another. They knew
that they always had the protection OF
the Police machine" of the Demo
cratic organization and the assistance
of the best legal talent in the Demo
cratic party to keep them out of Jail.
They felt that they were immune. And
indeed they have received the protec-
ton and assistance of the Democratic
organization, leaders and lawyers, so
far as they could give it. Senators
Paterson and Teller have both ap.
peared before the Supreme Court and
done their best to save the election
crooks from legal Punishment, but this
is an instance where their political
power was of no avail.

straight Republican ballots as Demo

ingly. Another plan was to have re-
peaters impersonate Republican voters
and vote their names for the Demo
cratic ticket. In some places the bal.
lots were prepared and stuffed into the
box at the last moment or placed with
the pile after the ballots had been re.
moved. In tho Fourth ward alone 1t
has been found that nearly 1000 flcti.
tious votes were cast for the Demo

done was fraudulent. 1t is claimed that

enormous mass of evidence against the
crooks for use in the local courts, has
evidence proving that stamp was

ballots were voted or after they were
taken from the box.
In one precinct a fountain pen was
used, 1t is claimed, to scratch Pea

The result of the exposure is that
large number of professional ballot
box suffers will land in Jail. The Re.

1t is probable that a number Of people
will go to the resort from this city
just to sec the children enjoy thom-

Every child, in order that he or she
may not be overlooked IN the general
fun, will be provided with coupon
tickets. The tickets are in seven

bottom me-, states that it is good for
one iuncl,." BY tearing it off and
handing it to tho proper person the
holder will get something to eat.
The second coupon calls for lone ice
cream and when this is eaten there
are five coupons left, providing for
varied amusements.
The third ticket entities the holder
to "'one turn on the big swing and
then follow small pieces of yellow
p~asteboard that are "good for" one

rings on the cane rack, a slide on the

A. F. Reitemeyer, the secretary and

Service Corporation was absolutely false
and without foundation. He said a re-
porter who called at the gas company
office yesterday was told that, but that
upon leaving, the reporter declared he
would fix up something himself. The
basis for the report was that Senator
Kean, one of the heaviest stockholders in
the company, visited the plant recently.
Mr.. Reitemeyer says he thinks a man has
a right to visit his own property once in

OF BLOOD POISON
OF HIS DEATH.

New Brunswick, Aug. t2:- Worry
over a wound he feared might result
in blond poisoning first drove insane
Hiram Wilson, of this place, and then
cause his death.
Wilson was an electrician, twenty
eight years old A year ago, while
working at M~etuehen, he tripped and
fell OH q coil of old copper wire. A
pointed end, green with dirt and rust,
punctured his arm. He was certain
that blood poisoning would result.
He had the wound treated hy a
specialist, but 1t failed to promptly
heal, and each time it became inf1amed
Wilson would declare to his friends
that he WINS sure to die I'M or later.
He became violently insane Tuesday
night and began smashing the furni.
ture in his room. His cousin, with
whom he boarded. summoned the po-
lice and he was taken to the hospital.
The physicians declared there was alb
solutely nothing the matter with him,
but he failed to rally. He grew
steadily weaker an he died Thursday
night. Physicians who attended
him declare all danger of blood.
poisoning from the wound was passed
nearly six months ago.
