BROKER VAN RIPPER WITNESS.


According to the report, Wilson Judd,
of New York, formerly in the employ
of l.. C. Van Ripper, induced the latter
to tell of his connections with Holmes
and then communicated the informa-
ton to Mr. Cheatham.
Van Ripper became the principal wit
ness in the investigation conducted by
the secret service and said he was in
duced to communicate the fact that ad-
vanced information was being given out
by Holmes because he had heard that
Holmes and his associates had intended
to try to manipulate the June cotton
report Having this information as
foundation, the secret service agents
interviewed numerous persons who had
meen mentioned by Judd and Van
Ripper, as we'll as gathering a mass OF
correspondence, including many letters
written by Holmes to Van Ripper and
others. The report made to Secretary
Wilson and the Secretarys comments,
together with the details of the new
plan of conducting the Bureau Of Sta
tistics, makes more than four thousand

cation, beginning with the charges that

"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine."

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puffiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- culable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
