NO CRAZY PLEA
FOR HARRY THAW
Makes Statement In Regard to
Eszka Condition.
ENJOYS CHAT WITH REPORTERS
Thaw Says His Physical and Mental
Condition Are Good and Never Were
Better-FeeIs Better Since Making
Statement,
Statement.

New York, July 11.-Harry Thaw
Wednesday reiterated the statement
given out by him Tuesday to the effect
that he Is not insane and that no lu-
macy commission would be appointed
to inquire into the state of his mind
For this purpose he asked permission
to see the newspaper men immediate
ly after he had breakfasted, and they
were taken into the prison to meet
him.
After greetings had been exchanged,
Thaw said that he had asked to see
them as he wished to emphasize and
to ask them to give the widest public.
ity to the statement he handed them
last evening, denying that he was in
sane or that lunacy commission
would be appointed to inquire into
his state of mind.
MY physical and mental condition
are good and never were BETTER" said
Thaw. II had to fight pretty hard
with my lawyers to be permitted to
make the statement that l did make,
but felt that l wanted my position
clear. told them that 1t would make
much for my peace of mind l could
not rest easy until l had given out
the statement"
Speaking of his mothers return to
this country, Thaw said:
81, with all the other members of
the family, was anxious that mother
should remain In Europe She is suf-
fering from rheumatism and went to
Europe for the purpose of taking a
cure at Schinznach, Switzerland, and
|, in fact all of us, wished her to take
cure before returning home. OF
course, l shall be glad to see her,
but l cannot help wishing that she
had remained in Europe for her own
sake"
During his talk with the newspaper
men, Thaw took occasion to explain
his failure to take advantage of the
permission to go into the prison yard
for exercise.
THE reason l was not in the yard
is simple nough," he said 81 spent
the day, when not engaged with my
lawyers, in reading and writing letters.
1t is true I was fatigued, but not
more than l have been frequently. AS
a fact, l did exercise in the empty cor
ridor, which I had to myself while the
prisoners were in the yard"
When Thaw bade the newspaper
men goodby he told them that he had
thoroughly enjoyed the chat and add
ed that to talk with any one besides
the lawyers, doctors and prison Off
cials, was like getting a whiff of
fresh air from the outside"

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines of known composition. There
fore it is that DR.. Pierce'S medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of DR.. Pierce's medicines is open
to everybody, DIR. Pierce being desirous
of having the search light of investiga-
tiOn turned fully upon his formula, being
confident that the better the composition
of these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR.. Pierce, and without the
use OF drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DIR. Pierce, and you will find that his

you if only YOU give it thorough and
fair trial. Don't expect miracles. 1t
won't do supernatural things You must
exercise your patience and persevere in it's
use for a reasonable length of time to get
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
DR.. Pierce's medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores of
medical leaders-better than any amount
OF lay, or non-professional, testimonials.
They are not given away to be expert

ALL SQUARE.

A paper published in the region
of Twin Falls anxiously inquiries if
anybody knows what for Lowell
and Steunenberg were paid $Sl 900
by the Twin Falls Land and Water
Co. The TRIBUNE doesn't know,
but understands that Messrs. Lowell
and Steunenberg and others took
the preliminary steps necessary to
t he segregation of the Twin Falls
tract under the Carey act, an / spent
a great deal of money and time OF
the work. Of course the Twin
Falls farmers will in the end have
to pay that money back to the
Twin Falls Land and Water Co.
The $4,000 paid Lowell and
Steunenberg would naturally figure
in as one of the items going to
make up the cost of water rights.
No doubt, as suggested by another
paper, Mr.. w. G. Filler, of Salt
Lake City, Utah, or F. H. Bull,
of Sharon, Pa, could thoroughly
explain. Then there is Mr.. Perrine,
OF Blue Lakes; he has some knowl.
edge, we believe. Altogether the
transaction seems to have been
legitimate, and there is no good
reason tor attempting to asperse
Lowell and Steunenberg.

great misfortune to have anything
like that happen in the beautiful
land of Twin Falls, but that kind
of thing has been reglarly and

private corporations attempted to
operate irrigation canals. We un-
derstand that things are somewhat

it is Carey Act proposition, but

HANpiwoRK OF REFORM.

Some weeks ago we published a
semi-humorous communication on
the "widness" of the municipality
of Caldwell and its government.
Special reference was made in the
communication to the renewal of
the electric railway franchise. We
refer to this matter again for two
reasons: First. the communication
was not written by an irresponsible
person whose only aim was to
sab" the city council. Second,
we suspect that the writer himself
did not have things altogether
clear in his mind. He could see
that something ques ionable was
going forward. but he could not
get the full meaning of it.
When the franchise was granted
in the first instance. some FIVE or
six months ago, the TRIBUNE
pointed out what appeared to be
the purpose and also predicted that
a renewal would be asked for. L,
