ST. DENNIS WINS
JURY RETURNS VERDICT
FAVORING BIG FARMER
Story OF Drunkenness Evidently Be-
lieved by the Twelve Men-Win
Not Be Compelled to Pay Note for
$4,000 and Alleged to Have Been
Signed While Drunk.

At S o'clock last evening the jury
in the Ferguson-St Dennis case
brought in a verdict favoring the de-
fendant, Desire St. Dennis. The YER
dict marked the end of a long, hard
courtroom battle in which d. w.
Bailey represented the plaintiff,
while Will NJ. Peterson and Lowell &
Winter appeared for st. Dennis.
The object of the suit brought was
to force ST. Dennis to pay a $4,000
note which he had given to Relnhold
Harris. the German butcher. The
note had been sold to c. ]. Fergu-
son and the suit was brought in his
name. The note had been given by
ST. Dennis as a payment on a piece
of property in Walla Walla which
Harras was endeavoring to sell st.
Dennis.
On the stand St Dennis declared
that he was drunk when he signed the
note and had been rankly imposed
upon by Harras. A cab driver and
others substantiated his story.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use OF Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. d. Dennis,
the eminent skin specialist Of Chi
cago.
DIR. Dennis, in his own office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies, was
practically a sure cure for eczema,
psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerlne
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen to produce the real ecze-
ma cure.
This compounded d. D. d. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant 1t is applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid
does away with deleterious drugs so
long used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has
determined that eczema Is first and
all the time, skin disease.
II you want to know more about
the merits of D. D. D. Prescription,
call at our store. We vouch for this
remedy Pendleton Drug Co.
