WHY WELLS WAS WEALTHY,
All Things Considered, He Had Some
 Excuse for Anger.

Charles E. Wells, who has been called the grounding senator of West Virginia, because he once introduced a bill advocating the changing of groundhog day from February 2 to July 4, was staying over night at the Grand hotel of a budding West Vir- ginia village not long ago.
 He was awakened in the morning by heavy pounding on his door, and the voice of the old man night clerk say ing Five o'clock! Better get up or you'll miss your train
 MT. Wells didn't intend to catch a morning train and hadn't given any instructions that he should be called at the unearthly hour of five o'clock, so he paid no attention to the old mans early morning greeting and was asleep again almost immediately.
 In about 15 minutes he was again awakened by the pounding on his door and heard the voice of the old man saying apologetically: Don't get up l rapped on the wrong door. ."-Lippin- cott's.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of "Toris'' for lame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost in fallible cure when mixed with cer- tain other ingredients and taken prop erly. The following formula is effec- tive: "To one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa- rilla Compound. Take in tablespoon full doses before each meal and be- fore retiring"
 Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu- tical Co, Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist.

Cuticura Soon Cured His Eczema.

"An itching humor covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, the surface would be covered with blis- ters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad that I could not move my thumbs without deep cracks appearing. l went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep. I could not bear to touch my hands with water.

Cut Off in His Prime.

That the negro residing in the north has the fondness for euphonious words regardless of their meaning-that characterizes his brother in the south was illustrated by remark overheard a few days ago.

TAKING OF TESTIMONY ENDED
YESTERDAY
cRoss.ExAMINA OF EXPERT
ON GUNsHoTs FINISHED
judge Advocate Leonard Announces
That He May Have No Opening
Statement to Make in
Court
rBy Associated Press.l

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 12.-Ihe ma
val court of inquiry into the death or
Lieut.. James N. Sutton on October l3'
1907 finished the taking OF testimony
today.
1t was stated by counsel that the
arguments would be completed to-
Major Leonard, judge advocate, to-
day stated that he woulC have no
opening statement to make In behatI
of the government unless something
were said by the attorneys that would
require explanation or reply.
The cross examination of DR.. 4. M.
Schaefer of Washington, called as an
expert in gunshOt wounds, was mn
ished.
Hypothetical and technical questions
figured largely in his examination by
Mr. Birney counsel to Lieutenant
Adams. Adams was again called upon
to illustrate the posture OF sutton as as
Re Law on the ground on the tataI
night, and DR.. SChaefer's conclusion
was that Sutton could not have shot
himself in the forehead from such an
attitude.
The court Of inquiry investigating
Suttons death entered today what was
expected to be the final day of tes-
timOny.
DR. Edward NJ. Schaffer of Washing
ton. an expert on gunshOt wounds, re-
suIned the stand.
Mr.. Birney counsel for Lieutenant
Adams, cross-eXamtned the witness
and made him take a position on me
counsel table similar to that occupied
by Lieutenant Sutton on the gTounl
when the fatal shot was fired and re-
neat with a service revolver a demon
StratiOn the witness gave yesterday
of the difficulty Of firing under the CIR
CumStGnceS.
Dr. Schaffer again declared that with
a service revolver under the conditions
Lieutenant sutton could not have shol
himself.
Mr.. Birney repeatedly endeayored tc
make the witness say the bullet might
have inflicted the scalp wound and ther
clipped up" and finished it's course
through tie shuI Dr. Schaffer said
it would be most unlikely.
Tries to Discredit Witness
Nir. Biney then directed his efforts
10 the disCuediplitY ii the witness as
an expert on wound" tro1n bullets.
Lieutenant Adams aEa4n pantommed
the shooting Of Ileuuena II sutton, the
scene being enacted Ol the moor OF
the court room with Lieutenants Utley
and Osterman and Sergeant de Hart
nlacing themselves on him. Lieutenant
Adams pulled the Trigger of a service
revolver. but Dr. Schafter declared he
could not thus have inflicted a wound
duplicating the one which killed SUIT
ton. ,
This closed the testimony There
on Major Leonard stated the govern
ment had no argument to submit. He
outlined the efforts of the government
to Law before the court every shred OF
testimony touching the case.
This had been done, he said and ne
would not offer any argument unless
comne1led by something that miShl
he said by the attorneys or other par
ties to the investigation -..
Adjournment was taken until torlor'
