JOY RIDE NEARLY FATAL.
Automobile Plunges Through Iron
Fence Into a Ditch.

New York, Nov. 30.-An all night
10y ride in a borrowed automobile
came to disastrous end early today
when the big touring car swerved from
a road in Brooklyn, tore through an
iron fence and plunged into a deep cut
where the Long Island enters the tun-
mel at Atlantic avenue. One of the
four passengehs was probably fatally
hurt, two others badly injured, and the
machine smashed. The chauffeur es-
capped without a scratch and fed. He
was quickly located by the police and
taken into custody.
The man most seriously hurt is
Bertram Senwick a clerk, aged 20. of
Glendale, L. I. His skull was frac-
tured and he was internally injured
There is practically no chance for his
recovery. Frederick Blackenburn,
butcher, whose home also is at Glen
dale suffered a conclusion of the
brain, and Louise Tesin, a Glendale
silk weaver, % years of age. sustained
a fractured rib. Charles Homan, the
chauffeur, who is under arrest, is
nephew of Mrs. j. Gascome, owner of
the automobile.
The party had spent the night at
Coney Island and were returning
home when the accident occurred. The
machine was being driven at a high
rate of speed when it plunged through
the iron fence at the same spot where
Martin Connolley, jr., was killed in
similar accident on October IL.

ing that it was not the practice in 9TH
er courts of Kansas and that there was
no apparent reason why it should be
done here. The liquor attorneys fought
for the jury for two long and bitter
hours to no avail. Assistant Attorney
General Charles Shukers opposed the
jury.
The cases to be heard on Dec. 1 are
those against Karst, Weisman and
Titolski Kelly Townsend and Horn
will come up for a hearing on contempt
charges on Dec. 2.
The attorneys for the liquor men are
said to feel that their cause was lost
with the jury and the sentiment is gen.
orally expressed that the seven defend
ants to be tried on Dec. will be found
guilty.
On December it is understood the
injunction suits will come before the
court and be set down for hearing.
They also will be heard without a jury

CASTS OF HIS FEET.
President Roosevelt Orders Boots for
the African Trip.

Chicago, Nov 3O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Brockton, Mass,
says:
President Roosevelt has ordered his
hunting shoes. They really are boots,
reaching almost to the knee, and the
measurements by which they are to
be made are the most complete ever
received by a Brockton factory.
AT the request of the president a
local firm sent one of it's most expert
men to Washington to take the
measurement of the presidents feet
Orders were given for four pairs of
boots, all to be duplicates. Each of
the presidents feet was carefully
measured. Nearly fifty measurements
were taken.
Plaster casts will be made of the
presidents feet and legs and the shoes
literally will be built on these. The
shoes are to have an extra double
sole into which the uppers are to be
sewed with waterproof stitches.

CONFIDENCE
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation and Money

We are so positive that We can cure
constipation, no matter how chronic il
may be, that we offer to furnish the
medicine free of all cost if we fail
1t is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and make constipa-
ton more chronic. Besides, their use
becomes a habit that is dangerous and
often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To eX-
pect a cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy evolved the labor of the
worlds greatest research chemists. 1t
possesses all the best qualities of the
remedial active principle of the best
known intestinal tonics, and it is par
ticularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderles
ly pleasant to take and are ideal for
children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels. They
have a neutral action on other organs
or glands. They do not purge or cause
any inconvenience whatever. They will
positively cure chronic or habitual con-
stipation and the myriads of associate
or dependent chronic ailments. Try
Rexall Orderlies at our risk. Two sizes
