ASSERT POISON
Testimony of Physicians in
the Watson Trial.

New London, Mo, Feb. 3.-St
Louis physicians and specialists
testified in the Watson case to-day
and it was their stated opinion that
Mrs. Watson died from poison, that
the condition of the body, preclud-
ed death by accident, drownln g or
disease. The contention of the de-
fence is that DR.. Watson's horse
ran away and, in crossing over Il
bridge near here Mrs. Watson was
thrown out and falling unconscious
in the water WAS drowned.
Reuben NJ. Roy one of Watson's 5
attorneys, in fighting the admis-
sion of the physician, declared that
the chemists in the employ Of the
insurance companies were preju-
diced. He was overruled by Judge
Eby.
On crOss-eXaminatiOn DR..
Briggs of st. Louis testified that
he received fee of $1,000 from the
insuranceicompanies for performing
the autopsy on the body of Mrs.
Watson.
The physicians who testified were
DR.. Waldo Briggs, dean of st.
Louis College of Physicians and
Surgeons; DR.. L Kinder, professor
Of bateriOlogy at the same college;
DR.. G. NJ. Lily, consulting physi-
clans at the jefferson hospital, and
DR.. b. Y. JaudOn Of Palmyra.
Objection was made to the teSti-
mony Of DR.. Lilly, who made the
analysis of Mrs. Watson's stomach
and other organs Of the viscera. He
followed DR.. Briggs and DR.. Kinder
on the stand. 1t had b cen rumOr-
ed that he would show that Mrs.
Watson's death had been caused by
some powerful poison, but in the
testimony no other poison was
mentioned but morphine.
Nothing has been heard as yet
of thu whereabouts of Miss Ada NJ g.
Burks, the missing witness in the
case, and the woman who DR.. Wat
son is alleged to have shown much
attention. Miss Burks was mill
liner in Denver when DR.. Watson
first met her, witnesses say, and
siuce that time she is said to have
been visiting at various places
where the doctor has essayed to
stop. Miss Burks has Il brother
living in Pickering, Mo-, Mrs.
James, a witness, said yesterday,
and she is said to have visited there
last year in June,
w. b. Newton, now n resident
of Pueblo, but who formerly live
at Maryville, Mo-, said he was a
former patient Of DR.. Watson in
Pueblo, and was acquainted with
the doctor and Mrs, Watson while
they lived in Colorado. He testi-
fed that on one occasion when the
defendant called upon him he said
had only one serious quarrel with
Mrs. Watson and that was because
of her physical weakness.
He said that he thought his pres
ence was repulsive TO her, aud that
he would like to become acquainted
with other women, only be did not
want his wife to know it. He be-
gan to talk of Miss Burks, to whom
he referred as "a bright little lady" "
His wife and Mrs. Watson were
friends and frequently exchanged

HISTORIC STEAMER.
The Old General Cadwalader Being
Broken to Pieces.

The old propeller steamer Gen. Cadwal-
ader, one of the most historic old craft on
Chesapeake bay, is now being broken up at
Baltimore for junk, and her destruction
removes from the list of merchant vessels
one of the oldest steamers afioat Built
in 1915 and named the Richard Whilldin.
she was used for packet business on the
bay until the outbreak of the war between
the states, when she was seized by the
United States authorities and converted in
to a gun boat and was stationed at Nor
folk
On one occasion she had a very narrow
escape from capture by the confederate
cruiser Albemarle, a shell from the latter
vessel having penetrated her boiler. but
she succeeded in escaping. At the close OF
the war she was purchased by the Erricson
Line of Baltimore. and changed from
sdewlieeI steamer into propeller boat, her
name being changed to the Genl Cad
waIader the then president OF the ErricSon
line She was placed upon the route be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia, via the
Chesa peake and Delaware canal, and ran
until within the past year. when she was
displaced by larger and more modern
steamers.
In her day the Gen. Cadwalader was a
handsome steamer and carried many thou
sands passengers In safety on her decks.
Her officers took great pride, to the day
she went out of commission, In displaying
portion of the shell that disabled her
when she was lighting ship.

MRS. CHADWICK PAID UsURY
Cleveland Woman Declares 1t Cost
Her so Per Cent. to Get Money
from Financiers.

Cleveland, O., March 27.-The ex-
animation of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick
in bankruptcy proceedings showed that
she practically paid money lenders SO
per cent. interest for every dollar she
received. She declared her total in
debtednesS would not exceed $750,0
that of this sum, borrowed from vari-
Gus persons, she had received but
$517 900, leaving $233, 900 for commits
sions to the money lenders.
In enlarging on this declaration,
she said the note for $190,800, held Oy
Herbert d. Newton, of Boston, repre-
scented but $4,000 in money actually
received. In this, the first statement
ever made by Mrs. Chadwick, much
light was shed on the manner in which
she lured crafty financiers into her net.
Cupidity was the one human charac-
teristic on which she played, and sac
made the most of that.
In addition to the Newton transac-
tons Mrs. Chadwick said she paid
James A. Friend, of Pittsburg, $751;
900 for loan of $15O,O00, and w. v.
Coons, of New York, $4,000 for loan
of 100000.
Mrs. Chadwick said she owed banks
in Cleveland 100000 and would name
them privately to Receiver LOeser.

There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merlslcy of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:--
g Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said had ovarian
trouble end liberation and advised an opera
ton. TIC this strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and / am
once more strong, vigorous and WELL"
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead
lily on the increase among women. If
the monthly periods are very painful,
or too frequent and excessive-if you
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhea, don't neglect yourself try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

SUMMARY OF A
WEEKS EVENTS
MOST IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS
AT HOME AND ABROAD IN
CONDENSED FORM.
THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST
Progress of Hostilities Between Rus
STA and Japan-Doings at Wash
ington-Items Of Interest from
All Over the World.

That the Russian retreat toward Har-
bin has been blocked is the official an
nouncement made by Linevitch, who in
a message to st. Petersburg announces
the appearance of Japanese cavalry and
infantry in front of the advance posts OF
the retiring Russians.
The Russian retreat may be continued
to Tsitsihar, 300 miles west of Hardin,
according to reports from the front.
Meanwhile the Russians have taken a
temporary stand north of Tie pass.
Revised figures of the Japanese losses
at the battle of Mukden places the num-
Der at $4,000, and revised estimates OF
the Russian losses from the commence
ment of the battle of Mu1den and ending
with the fighting at Tie pass place the
total at 175,000 killed, wounded or cap
tured
Gen. Kuropatkin has been appointed
commander of the First Manchurian
army. The appointment is gazetted in
the Official Messenger.
The car summoned council of war
to consider peace. Military men admit
ted it would require an army OF $50, 900
to fight Japan on equal terms.
All but two of the cars ministers are
urging peace, and st. Petersburg dis
patches indicate that actual proposals
to japan to end the war may be just
ahead.
A preliminary contract has been
signed with a number of Russian
banks for the issue of $4,000, 900 of
the proposed internal loan of $780,
100000.
1t is announced that all the women
have been ordered to leave Vladivos-
tok
Vladivostol1 expects a siege in the
early spring The place is amply sup
piled and fortified. 1t is held by $4,000
troops. The garrison is to be increased
to $4,000.
The women and children are report
ed to be leaving Hardin and the bust
ness houses are closing.
Paris bankers renewed negotiations
for a Russian loan, and their action is
taken as sign that peace between Rus
STA and Japan is at hand. This is sup
ported by the intimations of officials.

Seeding Begun.

Fargo, N. d., March 2s. Seeding is
general in many sections of the states
All the farmers seem to have been con-
vinced that spring has arrived. The
soil in the Red River valley is in good
condition and everything is favorable.
Farmers who had the nerve to seed
when the thaw came the latter part of
February, seem to have made a hit,
as the grain is growing finely. 1t will
be able to secure a better root and will
stool better than other seeded grain.
Many farmers seem to fear a dry
season, and the more enterprising are
spreading as much of dustbed on top
of the grain as possible TO retain the
moisture Many will roll their
wheat after the dragging and seeding.
