SPOKANE. Feb. 27.--A special tc
the Spokesman Review from Wallace
says that the sensation OF the day
was sprung by the prosecution toward
the close OF the Adams trial this af
| ternoon. Darrow OF the counsel for
the defense has just announced theil
case completed when Hawley OF the
prosecution requested the consent OF
the defense TO recall Mrs Archie Phil
lips and reopened the case for the
prosecution, saying that by inadvsrt-
ence the witness had not been asked
the day OF the week on which Tyler
ate ais supper on the night Immediate
ly preceding his disappearance. Ac-
cordng to information filed against
Adams. Tyler mad been murdered We'd
nesday August 10 and had eaten sup
per at Phillips House Tuesday August
3, After having given her testimony,
Mrs, Phillips recalled to memory that
Pltlllips ate supper there Saturday
night Aug. s, and from this itfollows
he was murdered Sunday Aug. 7, the
day on which Adams arrived at Mason
cabin and participated In birthday
party.
II Judge Woods allows the case to be
reopened II will change the whole ten
or, and It may show that II Tyler was
murdered Sunday morning by Adams.
Mason and Glover the three implica-
ted by the confession In the murder,
had time to go to Mason's cabin, Is
miles away, in time to attend the par
ty. This would cause the whole case
of alib as proved by the defense to
fall to pieces. The matter was hotly
debated by both sides, the contest be-
ing a most brilliant one.
Adams while being cross examined
did not impress the audience us being
a good witness for himself. Being
given copy Of the confession and ask
ed Of the answers on certain page
were the ones he gave Mcfarland,
Adams admitted that they We're. The
confession was then taken page by
page and Adams practically admitted
every answer with the exception of
where 1t stated that he had been given
500 by Mason,
AS he approached the concluding pa :
ges of the confession, Adams appeared |
Ill at ease and stated 81 believe these
are answers given by me, but I deny
everything in this statement connected
with the crime"
He also admitted several alterations
had been made under his direction,
which conflicts with his previous state
ment that he had merely glanced over
The statement before signing. He also
declared MsParland has assured him
everything would come out all right.
Adams was unable to stat chow the
confession dealing with the murder of
Tyler and Boule implicated an yof the
nigh officials of the Western Feiera-
Ion, whom Adams testified MCFARLAND
had said he wanted to convict.

BOokkeeper at GOIdfieId, VIC
tim of MurderouS Robber.

Goldheld, New, Sept. 14.-Herbert E.
Riggs, bookkeeper for E. H. Newland,
a broker, was found unconscious on the
floor of his office late last night. The
door Of the safe was open and the
cash, amounting to $1,000, had been
taken. A physician was summoned and
Riggs was revived with considerable
difficulty. Two big Jumps on the fore
head showed where he had been struck
with some blunt instrument. Riggs
says he was working over his books
when a stranger appeared at the cash
ier's window and asked for money.
There was a stack of gold on the desk,
in front of the bookkeeper, at the time.
Riggs says he knew nothing more I'M
til he recovered consciousness. When
he was found by Harry Greve, a
nephew of Newland, a heavy hammer
was picked up from the floor near
where he lay. 1t is thought that the
robber used the hammer on his victim.
The case has some peculiar features
and the sheriff is making an investi-
cation.

Cincinnati, Sept. f4-One unknown man
and one woman were killed and dozen
other persons narrowly escaped death in
the collapse of the Dohan Shoe COM
pany's four-story building on Central ave-
nue., near Sixth street market, today. The
building was one Of the oldest in the re-
tail section of the city and was under
going repairs, a new front being added
and other improvements made.
Shortly before noon, without warning,
the front of the building fell forward into
the street, leaving only the rear sections
standing. An unknown man, passing on
the sidewalk was stricken down, being
dead when reached, while a woman within
three feet of him was uninjured Mrs.
Mary Daley. who lived on the second
floor, was found dead in the ruins.
Or the men working in the building
three were reported missing, but all later
were found unhurt. A number of women
in the apaTtm snts that occupied the up
per floors were in their kitchens prepar-
ing the midday meal and to that fact
they owed their escape. The busy Sixth
street market was thrown into a panic
when the building fell. but fortunately no
one was injured in the crush.

The Peruna Tablets


Columbus Ohio, Sept. 15.-The INTEREST,"
ing announcement is made to the drug
trade and to the people generally that Dr.
Hartman ana his assistants, after TWO
years EXPERIMENTATION. have succeeded In
devfsing a Peruna Tablet This tablet
contains all the curative virtues of the
LIQUID Peruna. DR.. Hartman will still con-
tinue to manufacture liquid Peruna as be-
fore. The Peruna Tablet is therefore not
Intended to supplant liquid Peruna, but Is
TO be furnished the drug trade so that
those who prefer to take Peruna in tab
let form can have the privilege of doing
SO. The menstruum Of the liquid Peruna
has been replaced by hypophosphites and
pepsin-
The Peruna Tablets will be of especial
interest to hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie who have used Peruna for many
years. The fact that Peruna can now
be used in tablet form will be especially
gratifying to people who are subjected
to constant exposure and catarrhal all
ments. and who find it difficult IL not
impossible to carry with them the liquid
Peruna. A package of the Peruna Tab
lets carried in the pocket by people whose
business exposes them to climatic changes
will be the means of saving great many
people from catarrhal troubles. which are
the bane Of American civilization.

STATE FAIR TO Be
RECORD BREAKER
OfficerS Planning Finest Expo
siti0n Ever Held in
Utah.
MANY NEW ATTRACTIONS
PREMIUM LIST PROMISES TO BE
VERY LARGE.

The officers of the State Fair associa-
ton are getting into the harness in pre-
pairing for the show this fall. Presi-
dent Mcdonald was exceedingly busy
yesterday directing numerous details
for the fair. There is every indication
that the exposition of exhibits will be
the finest the state has ever known.
Among the features now being ar
ranged for are dry farm exhibit in
all its dips, spurs and angles, a society
bench show, with prizes for the ugliest
and best bred dogs, and a list of spe-
cial premiums calculated to focus the
eyes of the home industry and the
stock-raising talent of the state on the
100 acres down on the banks of the
placid Jordan. President Mcdonald
lays particular emphasis on the fact
that he is going to attract the blase city
folk with string of high-class attrac-
tons which is costing the State Fair
association in the neighbOrhood of
$4,000 and some sleepless nights figur-
ing with the weather man in an effort
TO divert the usual conference storm.
From Weber and Utah counties thus
early came rumors of design TO capture
the prizes for fruit, despite the Salt
Lake county orchards, while the Utah
State Poultry association, in solemn
conclave assembled, this week decided
that all members get into line and make
the bird exhibit one of the stellar fea-
lures.
Many Special Premiums.
OF special premiums the list this year
will be the biggest I'm the history of the
association. Among those announced
are six cash offerings aggTegating $50
by z. c. NJ. /. for homemade articles;
two for the best barley grown in Utah,
by the Salt Lake Brewing company;
three for horses, by the Redman Van
& Storage company; 800 for the best
grade Jersey COW, William c. Winder;
SIS for the best ten head of registered
Jersey cattle, John r. Winder, and
twenty blue ribbons as special pre-
miums for specified Utah-made goods,
by the Manufacturers & Merchants as
ISOLATION.
Arrangements have also been per-
fected to display the entire exhibit with
which Utah carried off the honors at
the recent National Irrigation congress
at Sacramento.
While the fair is advertised to be
open for one week, the association re-
serves the right to extend the time of
closing, in which event exhibitors will
not be permitted to remove their dis
plays until the big show is actually
over.

NOT HER MAIDEN VOYAGE.
Opinion of German Marine Critics
Regarding the Lusitania.

Hamburg. Sept. I-German marine crit
les say that although it has been asserted
that there was no intention to drive the
Lusitania during her first travel, that
there can be no doubt that the great hopes
placed upon her performances were IN
realized. They also say that 1t was not
really her maiden voyage because she
had been on trial trips for more than a
month, had made a voyage to Gibraltar
and return, and had sailed approximately
1900 miles before she started for New
York. She was expected to make 24Iz to
Is knots, but ii Is scarcely believed likely
to attain the hoped for speed.
