IRENE weakness and nervousness only
goes to prove the wonderful power that

case and the splendid recovery that we
lneed only quote her own words. This
lady says: MY niece, a young lady OF
l22 years of age, was in deplorabie
condition from nervous exhaustion, the
result Of hard general work. Her
general makeup was of the high strung
nervous kind-the appetite was poor.
The head ached constantly-no rest at
heart action was very weak,
the slightest exertion bringing on PAIN
about the heart and paIpitation. She
grew very weak and, lost weight rapid

to say they acted f1nely-she soon rest

FREED
Jury Finds Colored Man Not
Guilty of Charge of Grim
inai Assault.
ABDUCTION CASE IS BEGUN
Bert Williams on Trial on Indictment
Involving His Acts : Toward
16 Year Old Girl

Charles Dickerson, the young colored
man indicted for rape, was found no;
guilty by a jury III the circuit court
yesterday. The case went to the jury
at 5 o'clock, and a verdict was return
ed at about $50 In the evening. The
woman involved in the case is Louise
Motley, also colored. The defense WAS
that the incident on which the case
was based was not one of assault.
Abduction Case Begun.
The trial of the case against BeIt
Williams, indicted with Mrs. Sadie
Perdue for the abduction of Della Cow
derry, a 16 year old Moline girl was
begun in the circuit court today. The
greater part of the day was spent i'll
the examination of the girl herself,
who told of her being persuaded to
go to Burlington by Mrs Perdue, of
Columbus Junction, and of the appear
ance of Mr.. Perdue and Williams the
day following, at Burlington. She
also described in detail an assault
made on her, as she claims, by Will
liams while at a house in Burlington.
The girl told her story quietly, and
with some hesitation. There was a
large number of people in the count
room at the time, and the girls story
made deep impression.
Deceived Father.
The prosecution is seeking to show
that the girl was urged by Mrs. Perdue
| to leave home, and that Williams
wrote letter which was delivered tt
her asking heN to leave with him. II
is also claimed that Mrs. Perdue asked
permission of Mr.. Cowdery for the
girl to accompany her to the store
Mr.. Cowdery consented, but Mrs. Per
due took the girl to Rock Island, and
they took a Rock Island train for Bur
lington. This occurred July 26. The
girl was Is years old July B.
The defense seeks to show that il
was Mrs. Perdue who persuaded the
girl to leave home and that Williams
committed no offense in this state. Ii
| the examination of the girl this morn,
ing the defense Showed that she hat
had no talk with Williams other thai
the most casual conversation.
