CASE IS DISMISSED.
Nan Patterson Will Not Be Tried on
Charge of Conspiracy.

New York, April 14-The indict-
ment charging Nan Patterson with
conspiracy with J. Morgan Smith and
Mrs. Smith, wrongfully to obtain
money from Caesar Young, was dis
missed in the court of general sessions
today at the request of the assistant
district attorney. Counsel for the
Smiths demurred to the indictment
against the Smiths and declared that
the facts alleged against them did not
constitute a crime The court re-
versed the decision. Counsel for the
Smiths endeavored to secure the re-
turn of property taken from the
Smiths but failed.
Miss Patterson, who is about to be
tried again for the murder of Caesar
Young, was brought into court with
the Smiths
Mr.. Rand told the court that a mis-
take had been made in drawing up
the indictment against Miss Patterson
and that it tended to prejudice her
position in the capital case In ask
ing for the dismissal Of the indict-
mentS against her he reserved right
to resubmit. Miss Patterson was then
remanded to the Tombs prison. The
effect of the action will be to prevent
her counsel from getting at the grand
jury minutes which might haYe aided
in her defense.
In support of his contention that
the facts charged against the Smiths
did not constitute conspiracy their
counsel read an intercepted letter
from Julia Smith to Caesar Young
in which the writer stated that Miss
Patterson was about to become a
mother, which is one of the allega-
tons in the charge of conspiracy to
get money from Young. Counsel said
the statements as to Miss Patterson s
health did not bear out the allegations
and that the alleged threatening of
YnT1no with a raETolxyar.
Independent offense. He declared
that false pretensesr could not be. con-
sidered extortion.
Judge Foster reserved decision on
the demurrer and allowed the counsel
to submit briefs later in the day
Smith and his wife who were excused
from pleading, were remanded to the
TOmbs.

Cures Indigestion Instead of
Merely Relieving Symptoms.

There are plenty Of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas in the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. But when you take
your next meal all your troubles begin
afresh.
You can humor your stomach by CIV
fng it predigested food. Still there isn't
much fun in that kind Of eating and
when you want to get some pleasure
out of your meals again. you find that
your stomach is weaker than ever.
There is only one sensible thing to do
Strengthen the stomach and when it is
once in proper condition it will do its
ewn work better than any process de-
vised by man can ever do il. When it is
again strong don't abuse it. Choose ra-

that, as yours may at best be a freakish

One of the strangest of stories Of
false Imprisonment comes from France
A woman was sentenced to imprisOn-
ment for life for having caused the
death of her husband and brother. The
three had lived together at Malaunay,
near Rouen, in cottage, the lower
part of which was used as a wine
shop. When the woman was sent to
prison other people took the wine shop,
but the new tenants suffered, the man
from fainting fits, his wife from nau-
sea, from which she died. Another
couple tried their fortune, but they,
too, were overcome by the ''spell of the
accused place." as they thought it,
They were subject to fainting and loss
of memory. At last a scientific exam
ination of the premises was made
Then it was found that adjoining the
inn was lime kiln. In the wall divid-
ing it from the cottage were many fis-
sures, so that whenever lime was burnt
monoxide Of carbon escaped into the
inn. This was the secret of the deaths
for which the woman was suffering
She was brought out of prison after
six years of servitud".

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-RObert FitZ-

thirteenth round of his fight with Jack
.OBrien. He had fought hard, but ma
ture could not longer stand the strain,
and after the gong had sounded for the
close of the thirteenth round he walked
to his corner and sat in his chair. Then
his head fell over on his breast, his
whole body collapsed and the fighting
wonder of the age was ''all in" Referee
Graney saw his condition and awarded
the fight to O'Brien. AS he sat down at
the end Of the round Fitz said: Eddie,
he hit me in the stomach and it is all
over"
The fight was pretty even up to the
eighth round, in which O'Brien scored
clear knOckdown on Fitz. Twice i'll
this round he forced Fitz to the ropes
In the ninth round O'Brien nearly
raised Fitz from the floor and did all
the hitting of value. But in the thir-
teenth round F'itZ was seemingly as
good as ever and the round seemed to
end on at least even terms

The Snowy Owls.

Every few years, especially along the
seacoast and the larger rivers and
lakes, there is wave of those splendid
day hunting rascals, the snowy owls.
They are great fishermen, the only
owls to make this sort of hunting
practice, and may sometimes be seen
sitting, silent and motionless, like
block of ice, at the edge of the open
water waiting for a chance to nab an
unsuspecting fish. OF course this is
not very paying way to get a living,
and they also catch field mice, musk
rats, hares and even large birds like
quail or grouse. But there are only two
other birds of prey in our country that
habitually eat fish, and one of these
seldom catches it's own, preferring to-
eat the dead fish along the shore or
pirate it from the real fisherman, the
osprey.-St. Nicholas.

ing heavy taxpayers.

to plunge the country into an actual

confidence that the whole attempt will
fail, owing to the woeful insufticiency
of arms in possession of the proletari-

army as a whole.
Constructions have gone forth from
the revolutionists that risings must oc.
cur everywhere, in order to test the
troops. and if a foothold can be Sc
cured it is the intention of the revolu-
tionaries to set up a provisional gov
eminent and proclaim a republic

Experimental with pot.on..

When Antony ard Cleopatra were
contemplating suicide they made a
collection of a great variety of poisons
and tried each of them on two or more
slaves in order to ascertain whether
death was accompanied with much ap-
parent suffering. One historian de-
clares that over 200 persons lost their
lives in order that the information
might be obtained. The result was
that Antony killed himself with a dag
ger and Cleopatra either with one Of
her selected poisons or by serpent's
bite,
