ANDREWS ACQUITTED
After a Session Of Nearly "a hours Jury
Bring in a Verdict Of Net Guilty
Have Close Fight

arson case brought in a verdict of
not guilty. The vote of the jury
stood eight for acquittal and four
for conviction for some time, and
it looked very much as though the
result would be a hung jury.
However, they came to an agree
ment in the afternoon, acquitting
Mr.. Andrews.
This Ease has been of vital inter
est to Saratoga people. Special
prosecution being secured and a
large number of witnesses were
subpoened from this place for the
state.
The case was called Friday
morning and the regular panel
exhausted and a special venire
issued before a jury wcs obtained.
The examination of witnesses
for the state began Friday after
noon. The evidence given was
circumstancial, but a strong case
was made by the state; however.
not sufficiently SO to warrant the
jury bringing in a favorable YER
dict. The examination of witnesses
for the state was concluded Satur-
day night; the evidence of the diff
ferent witnesses, in brief, being as
follows:
Mr.. Andrews was seen in the
saloon after II O'Clock on the night
of the fire. At about 1920 the
fire was discovered, and a strong
odor of kerosene and gasoline per-
vaded the building. Upon an ex-
animation by a committee and
individuals on the following day.
of the room in which the fire
started, a pile of kindling, a pair
of pants. bed blanket, and other
articles, which had evidently been
saturated with coal oil and gas
We're found piled in a corner
of the room. A hole had been
cut through the ceiling, presum-
ably to create a draft for the
flames. The building was over
insured, and it was known that
Mr.. Andrews wished to leave the
town.
There were six witnesses for
Mr.. Andrews, the strongest testi-
mony in his behalf being given
by w. r. Bradford, night man at
the electric light plant here. His
testimony in brief, was as follows:
That the alarm was turned in for
the fire at 1886. the next morn
ing he made a personal examina-
ton of the room and testified that
there were no pants or bed blanket
visible, that instead of being piled
up in the corner of the room, the
kindling was lying on the floor
and hat the floor or wall where
the kindling, etc. were purported
to have been piled, and fired, was
not burned.
Mr.. Andrews defense WAS that
the fire must have originated from
a small stove in the room, in which
he had started a fire before closing
up.
Mrs. Andrews and Edith Ken
nedy testified that Mr.. Andrews
was at home and in bed before the
clock struck IL, that night.
There was some discrepancy in
time as given by the different
witnesses, which can be easily ac-
counted for by the variance of the
different time pieces.
The testimony was concluded
and the arguments by the state
and prosecution concluded Mon
day afternoon when the Ease was
given to the jury that evening,
with the above result.
The feeling in Saratoga is still
quite strong, it being the belief of
nearly every one that the fire was
of incendiary origin, and while
the jury acquitted Mr.. Andrews of
the charge, an effort will be made

RIVALRY in NORTHWEST
Hartman After a New Road That
VIII Embarrass Hill.

Chicago, Oct. 2o.-E. H. Hartman,
who has Just returned from a trip to
the Orient is said in railroad circles
to be about to purchase the right of
way of the projected St. Joseph. Al
bany & Des Moines road. which will
give his western lines a connection
with Minneapolis and the wheat lands
of the northwest Negotiations looking
toward the purchase of the line were
under way when Mr. Hartman left
for the east. F. S. Mordaunt, a Chi
cagO capitalist, who is interested in
the road will go to New York in the
hope of communicating the deal.
The projected line runs from St
Joseph, No, to Des Moines, Ia, a dis
lance of 162 miles. The roadbed has
been built and entertainments and
tunnels have been completed at
cost of several million dollars. The
line connecting at Des Moines with
the Iowa Falls road is "a miles long
A link to be built between Iowa Falls
and Hampton, Ia. a distance of 90
miles, will give the road a right of
way into Minneapolis, over the Iowa
Central.
The invasion of the northwestern
territory which heretofore has been
dominated by the J. J. Hill interests
will result, it is said in bitter rivalry.

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND mrs. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Hsro Given te ExplaIa
Why Lydia (. PInkhsm's Vegetable Gem
pound Cures When Doctors Are POwsFIsss

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
70 her sex is fast developing In her sys-
TEN. She goes to her family physician
and tells him q story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mysbifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
It was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step IN and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
Of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
tiers to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able TO do for
them what the physicians we're unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group Of women who
sought her advice years ago q great
army of her feIlow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice Of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative Of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training
No physician IN the world has had
such training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist In the
treatment Of all kinds Of female ills.
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women Of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond d doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 3O.-For
the first time in years, it is believed
that there was not a drink sold over
bar in this city Sunday. The lid"
which the brewers placed on the
'Joints" in the city a week ago re-
NAMED "uncracked" to the extent
that the thirsty were forced to partake
OF Missouri river water. The only ex-
Ceptions were where a supply of slim
ulants had been laid in beforehand
and in private families where the
breweries are supplying the needs. It
is believed that the supply of stale
beer which the ''jOintists'' had on
hand when the closing order came
from the brewers has been worked off
and now that the brewers have dis
continued the sale Of intoxicants, the
'joints" are forced to close.
The issuance of several subpoenas
by Assistant Attorney General VIII

sons from whom he expected to Sc
cure evidence as to the operation of
joints" is perhaps as responsible for
the tightness of the cid yesterday as
the lack of the necessary article
MECHANISM has started things going
and the fact that he has another batch
of subpOenaS ready to serve this
morning made the "jointists" fearful
of opening up. The business is prac-
tically dead.
In lieu of anything else to do, the
''jOintists" are engaging in the real
estate business, opening up coal and
feed Offices and others are renting the
'front.' Of their former business places
out to firms that have moved in and
are conducting legitimate pursuits.

uation is practically the same Boot

there are more saloons in proportion

that stands as the high expression of

Such governors have merited defeat
and have received it. For Kansans
believe firmly in this law and demand
that it shall be enforced. Some say
that the joints bring business. IF
they do we do not want that kind Of

But what are the facts? From that

him nominated for governor To keep

thought they had shelved him by
making him vice president. But some
are now suggesting that he be per-

that then his election would be

Santa Fe FrOwns on Activity Of
Denver, Enid & Gulf.
Willing to Extend It's Line in
Barber County.
NOT TO ASK FOR BONDS
Director JObes Tells What
Company May Do.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Reports have been going the rounds
lately that the Denver, Enid & Gulf
Railroad company was going to extend
it's line northwest from Medicine Lodge.
1t is said that the company has had a
force of men in Barber county for some
time making surveys for such an ex-
tension and it is expected that within
a short time the railroad will ask the
county to vote 100000 in bonds to help
build the line.
At the present time the northwest
part of Barber county does not have a
railroad and the people there have been
wishing that line would be built into
that section of the country at an early
date.
Announcement has been made semi
officially that if the people of the north
western part of Barber county wanted
a railroad at once that the Atchison-
Topeka & Santa Fe would extend their
Medicine Lodge line 25 miles further in
that direction and that the company
would build this line without asking a
cent OF aid from the taxpayers of the
county.
a. G. Jobes, of Wichita, one of the di-
rectors of the Santa Fe, said the other
day that he felt sure his road would ex-
tend its Medicine Lodge branch at once
If the people living in the northwestern
part of the county wished the road to
"The Santa Fe is not opposing the
construction of the branch by the Den
yer, Enid & Gulf" said Mr.. Jobes, 'sbut
we do not believe that it is a good thing
for county to issue bonds for a COM
peting line as it saddles that much more
weight on the taxpayers and they have
to pay the railroad the amount of the
bonds and then have to pay the COM
pany for hauling freight and passen-
gers before the company can reimburse
the county in the way of taxes The
business is divided between two lines
while the operating expenses and the
fixed charges are doubled.
If the people in the northwest part
of Barber county want a line I have
it from the highest authorities of the
Santa Fe that our company will built
it and they Will not ask for any bonds
or any other documents other than the
right of way through the section where
the line is to be built. am sure. if
the people Of Barber county viii call
upon the Santa Fe officials and tell
them how long line from Medicine
Lodge and to what point they wish it
to be built the Santa Fe will begin al
once to make the surveys and prepare
to construct the line"

ROAD SAYS IT'S EXTENSIVE
To Run Passenger Trains Between
Here and Fort Scott.

ACAC anu Il OLA 6COlls
]. C. Page, secretary of the CONNER
ciaI club of Fort Scott. has received a
letter from J. H. Richards, the general
attorney for the Missouri Pacific rail-
road concerning the running Of passen-
ger trains on the branch line between
Topeka and Fort Scott. In this letter
Mr. Richards says.
When I state to you that for the last
two years the operation of these trains
over this line there was not an average
of over eight persons per train per mile
over this whole line of railroad, and the
average earnings per mile per train were
not to exceed twenty-five cents, you can
better understand this
But inasmuch as the people along
the line of the road have become so in
sistent that it be restored, that they
seem to feel that we can not wait until
we can perfect and put on our proposed
motor car service, our management has
concluded to again put on passenger
train service for the purpose of making
a test as to whether it can be made to
pay under existing conditions, which it
is claimed have improved But this IS
upon the express condition that the
service is justified by the patronage
which belongs to it and is due 1t at all
points along the line.
Our management has resolved to
again give the people fair and reason
able opportunity and give them better
service than they pay for. We would
be glad to be able to run, not only two
trains, but a half dozen trains each way
over this road in a day, and we hope
that the patronage will justify US in
greatly improving the line. We are
equally interested with the people in
their prosperity and the upbuilding of
business and of business men along the
lines of our roads in Kansas. and we
are willing to meet them more than half
