JURY FAILS TO CONVICT
ALLEGED KIDAAPER GROVE
No Evidence to Connect Pat Grove
With the Abduction Of Eddie cud-
ahy, Son Of the Beef Packer.

Omaha.-The jury in the trial OF
Pat Grove, charged with the robbery
of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha
packer. or $4,000 in connection with
the kidnapping of the latter's son FIVE
years ago. Friday afternoon, after ff-
teen hours deliberation, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, De-
cember 10, 1900. and his release upon
the payment by his father of $4,000
ransom. created a great sensation,
and the search for the kidnapers was
stimulated at the time by the offer Of
a reward Of $4,000 by Mr.. Cudahy.
1t was the belief of the authorities
that Grove and James Callahan were
the guilty parties. but no trace Of
them could be found until about year
ago, when Callahan was arrested. He
was identified by young Cudahy as one
of his captors, but was released on
trial as ii could not be shown that he
received any of the money and there
was at that time no law making the
kidnapping of a person over 10 years OF
age a crime. Last October Grove
was arrested in Butte, Mont, and was
put on trial February 7. There was
no evidence to positively identity
Grove as one of the kidnapers.
Grove was recently indicted II

TRIUMPH OF SHEEP MEN.
Idaho state Veterinarian Law Held to
Be Unconstitutional.

Boise, Ida.-In the district court
Judge Stewart on Thursday held the
state veterinarian law unconstitution-
al. If his decision is sustained by the
supreme court it will wipe out the live
stock sanitary board and the office OF
state veterinarian. The old state sheep
inspection act will, however, be re-
vived. It is found by the court that
the legislature sought to repeal the
latter law by mere reference to It,,
extending the duties of sheep inspec-
tor to the new Office of state veterina-
rian. The litigation arose over an or
der that all sheep south of the Salmon
river be dipped a second time last year
before being driven in from the sum-
mer range. A number of sheepmen in
Washington and Canyon counties re-
fused on the ground that their sheep
were free from scab and that the
board had no authority to ordes them
dipped second time.

RUSSIA WILL ALSO BE READY
Military Measures Taken in Case OF
Another Anti-Foreign Outbreak
in China.

st. Petersburg.-In view of recent
events in China the Russian govern
ment, like that of the United States,
has found it advisable to take the
necessary military measures to be pre-
pared for all eventualities. Though
the foreign Office officially scouts the
alarmist tone of the Russian press
and declared that no news had been
received to excite apprehension, the
council for national defense, which
has been preparing to reduce the force
in the far east to a minimum, takes
more serious view of the situation and
is revising it's plans for the evacua'
ton of the armies in Manchuria, in
order to retain there force "suffi'
cient to maintain Russia's special in
terests on a plane with the other

TWITCHINC NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
Ry DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have at
flicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule. inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use of
/ DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
| might possibly be some good in them for
me. NV trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
/ evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and 1 used the pills again for a short
time. Relief came at once and since
stopped using them the second time
have been free from any return Of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spina
weakness and the special ailments of girl
and women. For further information

Paris.--The foreign Office continues
to take an optimistic view of the re-

but this is coupled with the statement
that France will not yield upon the es-

police. This position appears to indi-
cate that any German propositions
based upon France relinquishing her
claim for police power over Morocco
are likely to meet with failure. How
ever. there is no evidence Of serious
