The mayor has refused to sign his

be some who think they discern Mr..

A Word About Rand.

Mr.. Levy said that the one thing
lie feared In this case was the fascl.
nation and Establishment Of the pros
ecutor, whom, he described, as a man
Of magnetic presence and deluding
in the superbness Of his sophistry.
Levy said there had been many unfair
inslnuations in the casea which had
been brought about by the power Of
the district attorneys office. s.i.;;s
Il I'm speaking on this point want
to point out the, pawn tickets. With
these he wanted to delude you Into
the belief that they showed the date
Of June g.. Holding the tickets in
front of.a poor halfthysterlcal woman
he asked her II she had pawned those
articles on June Sd. And you know,
when ] placed them In evidence, they
showed the date Of October 25. This
is one evidence of the deluslons prac.
ticed 4a
l7"Ehe district attorney said that he
would show that Young was a gener.
Gus man, lavish to degree and that
he gave to this defendant over $780,,
900 in one year, yet he could only
produce evidence to show that she
had been given $500. This was an,
other delusion attempted" 81
Mr.. Levy said that 1t. was his pur.
pose to reason the case out with the
jury and not attempt to sway them by
sentiment. 4

that Morgan Smith bought the pistol
he said, 1T is not necessary for the
defense to prove that he did not. 4
the prosecution failed to prove a mo
tive for the killing Of Caesar Young
the defendant is not called upon t
prove that motive did not exist.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST GERMS
People With Weak Stomachs Most
Liable to Catch Disease.

When the stomach and digestive or
gans are weak. the food does not digest,
and there Is a sour, Shiny, ferTnenting
mass, making it an ideal spot for the
disease germs to multiply. The only way
to protect yourself against disease germs
is to strengthen the stomach and di-
agent. so far as is known, that will ac-
complish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles is
advertised to act upon the food alone,
and hence can give no more than tenn
porary relief. Mi-o-na is a certain cure
III all cases Of stomach troubles, except
ing cancer, because it enables the
stomach and digestive organs to act in
The way Nature intended they should.
Drugs cannot digest the food; they
simply decompose 1t.
If you suffer with distress after eat
ing. pains in the head, chest, sides and
back. belching OF gases and undigested
food, bad taste IN the mouth. dizziness
or vertigo. heartburn. ble appetite.
and have a general feeling OF despond-
ency. weakness and debility you should
at once strengthen the stomach and
| digestive system by the use of Mf-o-
ma. There is no liquid, no alcohol, nc
| spoonful doses with Mi-o-na Just one
| simple tablet out of fifty cent box be-
| fore eating. and your stomach VIII soor
| become so strong and healthy that yoJ
| will be germ proof. Ask Henry Evans
| 922-924 E.Street northwest, to show yol
| the guarantee under which he sells Mi
o-na: costs nothing unless it cures.

WOMAN DRAGGED
BY MOVING GAR
Mrs. Baxter Was About to Step Aboard
When Conductor Pulled
Bell.

Terrified women shrieked, screamed,
and tainted as they looked on and saw
Mrs Mary Baxter, fifty years old, of
Sixth street northeast, swinging TO the
handle of a fast-moving ear yesterday
afternoon.
Business was at its height shortly be-
fore o'clock, and the streets were
Ihronged with surging crowds of women
shoppers who were visiting the dry
goods establishments.
Mrs Baxter had finished her shopping.
and, with a few bundles in her arms,
started toward the car. She crossed F
street and grasped hold of the handle of
the trailer. The conductor was standing
in the front car. He peered through a
window, seized the hell cord, and pulled
It twice.
Mrs. Baxter did not have time to get
both Feet on. the iron step. The sudden
ness Eith which the car was started
threw her off her feet. She was dragged
about fifteen feet before a passenger
grasped the bell cord and gave it a
sharp jerk
The motorman thought this meant to
stop at the next corner. but three quick
rings of the bell over his head caused
him to tug at his brake and bring the
ear to q standstill
Mrs Baxter fell TO the ground when
the car stopped. She was picked up by
passengers on the car and those in tbs
crowd. who rushed to her side TO see ii
she was hurt.
Mrs. Baxter refused to go to any hos
pitaI in a highly nervous condition an6
suffering from shock, she was placed or
the car which she attempted 70 boare
and was conveyed to her nome.
