made reference to the incidents that
preceded the coming to Berlin Of Da-
vid J. Hill, the present American
ambassador. He said:
I'VE rejoice that Mr.. Hill has been
appointed ambassador by the United
States and that he has remained here
We dare cherish the hope that the
reception which he, as an eminent and
intellectual personality, deserved ana
found in Berlin will serve to prove to
him and the United States that the
Incidents prior to his coming were
based on misunderstanding in which
the German people did not share, but
which caused the impression that only
millionaires are acceptable at Berlin
as representatives of great state
This may be true of St. Petersburg,
but in Berlin, as counter balance to
the materialistic conception often con-
nected with the dollar, we must insist
that it is the intellectual pre-eminence
Of a foreign representative which not
only gives him right to such a posi-
tion, but guarantees an interchange
between the two powers much more
useful than can be had by the spread
ing Of the most lavish banQuets."

ditures alleged as being illegal and
that there were other acts by either
Mr.. Iilley or Colonel Ullman which
were contrary to law.
Mr.. Lilley's statement of expenses

showed that he spent over $4,000 by
financial agents to be elected gov

spent $4,000.

DAVIS IS ACQUITTED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Declared Not Guilty Of killing
Dr.. Rustin.

Omaha, Dec. 11.-After thirteen
hours deliberation the jury in the
case of Charles E. Davis, charged
with the murder on the morning of
Sept. 2 of DR.. Frederick T. Rustin,
agreed upon a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Sears received the verdict and
ordered the discharge of the prisoner.
It required nineteen ballots to reach
an agreement. The first ballot stood
eleven to one for acquittal of the
charge of murder in the first degree.
The lone juror maintained his posi-
ton for four ballots and after that
was joined by another in voting for
conviction on lesser charge.
This case has attracted unusual at
tention not only on account of the
prominence of the victim of the kill
ing, who was one of the leading physi-
clans and surgeons of the city, and
the mystery surrounding the tragedy,
but because of the family connections
of the. defendant. Although himself
holding but minor position in the

uncle of the president, cashier and

Is related to men prominent in finan-

prosecutions will be undertaken in
connection with the killing of DR..

should be discovered.

GREAT NORTHERN
TRAIN HELD UP
Action Of Fireman Prevents Loot.
ing Of Express Car. .

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 11.-Three
men held up westbound Great North
ern train No. mile and half east
of Hillyard, this state, robbed the
mail car and made their escape. Only
the presence of mind of w. Perrin,
the fireman, prevented the looting OF
the express car, which carried large
amount of money, including $4,000
consigned from a Spokane bank to a
Montana town.
The train had slowed down in the
yard at Hillyard when three men, all
armed with revolvers, crawled over
the tender and, covering the engineer
and fireman, ordered the train to be
brought to a stop little over mile
from the station. The enginemen
obeyed and when the train had come
to a standstill the bandits forced the
engineer and fireman to leave the
cab. While two of the robbers stood
guard over the engineer the other
took Fireman Perrin back to uncouple
the mail and express cars from the
rest of the train.
In the darkness the bandit failed to
note that the first car was the mail,
while the second was the baggage,
and that the express car, which con-
tanned the desired booty, was third in
the train. Perrin saw his mistake and,
quickly taking advantage of it, in
spite of the menacing revolver held
close to his head, cut off the mail and
baggage cars, leaving the express car
attached to the dead train.
The robbers then left the engineer
and fireman with the train and board
ed the locomotive and themselves ran
it several miles east, where they
brought it to stop, rifled the mail
car, then again boarded the engine,
uncoupling it from the cars, and pro-
ceeded three miles to Mead There a
rig was awaiting them and they made
their escape.

LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING
This Statement May Be Generally
Attributed to the Lack of Good
Health.

We want to talk to people who
are nervous, who suffer frequent
headaches, who don't enjoy their
food, who are irritable, quickly
lose their temper, are so tired and
worn out that they feel that they
must give up, and have become
so respondent that life doesn't
seem worth living. We know
exactly what is the matter with
people in this condition, and if
they will follow our advice, we can
tell them how to regain good health
and that buoyancy of feeling which
makes life seem all sunshine and
happiness.
Most of the described conditions
are chiefly caused by catarrhal

be overcome is through a treat

treatment, and we are so positive
that it will produce the results we
claim for it that we will supply it
to anyone with the understanding
that we will return to them every
penny they paid US in every in

CALLS 1T LUST OF BLOOD
Colorado Official Condemns Presi.

Denver, Dec. 11.-Secretary E. w.
Whitehead of the state bureau of
child and animal protection, in an
article printed in the monthly publ
cation of the Colorado Humane soci-
ETY., entitled "Protect the Deer" says
"President Roosevelt as a sportsman
is furnishing to the American nation
an example of ruthlessness and blood
lust as farreaching as it is pernic-
ious." Continuing, the article says:
"No one more deeply and sincere
ly appreciates the merit and good
qualities of our president than we do,
but these vacation trips of his are not
worthy of a president nor of the true
American man. Many of his truest
admirers. regret his heralded hunting
trip in Africa. 1t is not necessary, it
cannot reflect credit upon him. he
runs little risk and if there is any it
is a needless one in an unworthy
cause. If reports are true he looks
forward eagerly, exultantly, impa-
tiently to the excursion to the other
side of the world whose prime object
is to Stay. We regret the lust of
blood, the thirst to slay."
