THORNTON HAMS ON
WITNESS STAND
Defendant in Murder Case Tes-
titles in His Own Behalf.

Flushing, N. Y, Jan. T-Thornton
Jenkins Hams took the witness stand
in his own defense Of the charge that
he was a principal with his brother,
Captain Peter c.. Hams, Jr., in the
killing of William E. Annis and in a
snappy ma-ner related, under coun-
sells interrogations, the story Of his
life and Captain Hams marital mis-
fortunes that led to the Staying of An
mis-. Sometimes the defendant made
his answer before the district attor-
ney could enter objections to the line
of Interrogation. He had told of the
sudden appearance of Captain Hams
in his home on the Sunday in May
and of the excitement that the cap
tain was laboring under because of
what his wife had told him concerning
Annis ..-.@-.-, a-a
The early part of" the session was
occupied with the conclusion of the
cross-examination Of General Peter G.
Hams, who declared that the mental
condition of Captain Hams showed
improvement from May 81 to Aug. 12,
when he was served with his wife's
cross bill to the suit for a divorce.
The general declared that the cross
bill contained such charges against
Captain Hams that his mind was
again shocked and there was a recur-
renee Of his mental weakness.

1omhs of tho Patriarchs,

No spot In all Palestine Is so jealous
y guarded as the haram or sacred
area built above the cave where, &C.
eording to tradition, lie buried the
bodies Of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac
and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah. This
haram Is inclosed within a double
wall, an outer one of Arab workman
ship, dating from the fourteenth Gen.
fury, and an inner very massive one
with many buttresses, which compe-
tent authorities ascribe to the days of
the Herods. No Christian or Jew is,
except by very special permission, al
lowed within these walls. The most
the ''unbelievers' may ordinarily do is
to ascend from the street to the sew
enth step on one Of the staircases be-
tween the walls. At spot near the
stair is stone with hole in it, down
which, it is said, long Bedouin lance
can be thrust its whole length without
reaching any obstruction. This, the
Jews believe, reaches to the sacred
cave itself, and in its neighborhood
they assemble every Friday to mourn
and pray, as they do before the wall
Of that other haram-the temple area
I'm Jerusalem.-Philade Ledger.

CAUSES DEBILITY.
Here are Facts Backed Up BY a Strong
Guarantee.

Debility is caused by catarrh. In
our opinion, person free from
Catarrh was never troubled with
Debility. Debility can never be
cured by medicine not designed to
cure Catarrh. We positively guaran-
tee to cure Catarrh, and thus cure
Debility. In every case where we
fail to effect cure, we will not
charge a cent for the medicine
employed during the trial. Now,
surely no one should hesitate to
believe us or to put our claim to
practical test under such conditions.
We take all the risk; no one else can
lose anything by the transaction.
We make these statements and
this offer because we knew and have
time and again proved that Rexall
Mucu- Tone will cure Catarrh. 1t is
designed for that one purpose. It
is not cure all prescribed to cure
every disease that flesh is heir to.
1t is specific. Rexall Mucu-Tone is
absorbed in the stomach and carried
by the blood until it penetrates every
part of the body, acting as an anti
septic, disinfecting, cleansing, sooth-
ing and healing agent. 1t rids the
system of all germ and poisonous
matter, purifes and enriches the
blood, rebuilds injured tissues,
cleanses and invigorates the muso-
cells, neutralizes the acids of the
body, stops mucus discharge, tonec
up the entire system, promotes
nutrition, increases body weight, and
brings about feeling of healthful-

CARVING Scissors.

II thought l knew all about scis-
sors," said the man. II had seen tail
ors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth,
dressmakers' scissors for cutting tiimsy
fabrics and lace and still other scissors
for cutting paper, finger nails, grape
vines, all kinds Of metals and even for
shearing sheep, but in spite of that
wide knowledge Of scissors was puz-
zled when / saw the large, peculiarly
shaped pair Of scissors lying in the
showcase.
"'What are these scissors for? I
asked the clerk.
"'Carving meat he said. With
scissors Of this kind carving becomes
mere child's play
"T never saw anybody use them,
said l.
Nobody does use Them said the
clerk-'that is, only very few. In
Europe carving scissors are popular
because they cut right through meat,
gristle, bone and all, but it takes a
little practice to learn to manipulate
the things, and nobody in this country
has patience enough for that "-Ex-

How Marshall Field Made Money.

In the early eighties, when the First
National bank Of Wallawa1la was not
as big as It Is now, I pretty nearly
had my breath taken away one day
by a good looking stranger hailing
from Chicago He threw letter Of
credit for $4,000 from Chicago bank
on my desk and quietly said, "Can
you cash that?' I looked him over
once or twice, made quick estimate
Of all the loose cash I thought we
could scrape up and said: eyes. How
do you want it?" He gave a smile,
sat down and said, IT think I'll take
it in land" In months time, as his
authorized agent, I bought about 3d.
900 acres Of cheap railroad land for
my Chicago friend, taking the deeds
in my name at his request, paying an
average Of $2.65 an acre. He cleared
over 100000 on this one deal. His
name was Marshall Field. - Senator

ALL WRONG.

The Mistake Is Made by Many Bemidji
Citizens.
Don't mistake the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Bemidji resident tells you how
this can be done.
Clyde johnson, living at 1914
Bemidji, avenue, Bemidji, Mimi,
says: "For some time I endured
a great deal OF suffering from
kidney complaint. There was a
pain in mym back and during the
early part of the day felt languid
and tired. I decided to try a
reliable kidney remedy, went to
The Owl Drug Store, and procured
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I
used them.according to directions,
when the pains disappeared and
the tired, languid feeling vanished.
I know Doan's Kidney Pills to be
a reliable remedy and can recon-
mend them to anyone suffering
from kidney complaint"

NO LOTTERY" MATTER CAN BE PRINTED.

The following, taken from the
Todd County Argus, applies to every
paper published in the United States:
Our correspondents are requested
not to mention, in their news letters,
the successful holder of ticket in
rattle or lottery drawing of any
kind. The law forbids a paper to
advertise in any way, rattle or
drawing of any kind, either directly
or by giving the name of the success
full ticket holder. We have cut out
several such advertisements and
write this to explain why it WAS done.
The postofice department has
been more strict in enforcing this
anti-lottery law of late more than
formerly, and a single line in some
correspondents letter might render
the whole edition of the paper un-
mailable. It appears as though
this is carrying the anti-lottery op-
position to extremes, as no one loses
much in the average rattle, where
tickets are oftener ten cents than
more, but the principal, underlying
the rattle is the same as that of the
old1 Louisiana lottery into whose
Golfers, the people poured their earn
ings by millions, and that powerful
institution with its corrupting in
fuence, could not be suppressed
without hitting other and similar
games of chance"

Washington, Jan. The executive
departments will cooperate with the
senate committee on appropriation in
arriving at the facts regarding the
employment of secret service officials

effect and has been told that it is the
desire of the executive branch of the
government that all the facts be I'M

pared to Justify their course in the
employment of the men of the serv-
ice and it now looks as though the
inquiry would be directed to the ne

Supreme Tribunal Recommends Test
Case in Gas Suit.
Washington, Jan. In an opinion
by Justice Peckham, which was unan-
imously concurred in by the entire
court, the supreme court of the Unit
ed States reversed the decision Of the
United States circuit court for the
Southern district of New York grant
ing an Injunction against the enforce
ment of the S0-cent gas law. The de-
cision of the court did not deal with
the constitutionality Of the law, but
left the inference that that question
would depend upon the fact as to
whether the. law was confscatory,
which, it was intimated, has not been
sufficiently determined. Justice Peck
ham said that bona fide test should
be made under the operation of the
law before appealing to the courts for
its notification.

LOSES APPEAL
Supreme Court Will Not Re.
view Oil Fine Case.
WRIT CERTIORARIASKED

Attorney General Had Petitioned the
Highest Court to Pass on Decision
of Court of Appeals Reversing Judge
Landis-Action of Supreme Tribunal
Leaves in Effect the Findings of the
Appellate Court.
Washington, Jan. The 100000
900 fine case of the Standard Oil COM
pany will not be reviewed by the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
The decision of the court to this eff
feet was announced by Chief Justice
Fuller. The case came to the court
on a petition filed by the government
asking the court in petition for a
writ of certiorari to order up the rec
ord in the case for a review of the
decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Seventh cir
cult, by which Judge Lands original
decision imposing fine of $29,OOO,000
against the Standard Oil company for
accepting rebates from the railroad
companies was reversed.
In the supreme court the case
turned largely upon the right of the
court to interfere in view of the fact
that the case had been passed upon
by the court of appeals, the govern
ment contending for such privilege as
right, while it was urged in behalf
of the oil company that the prece-
dents were all against such proceed
ing. The action of the court consist
ed in the announcement that the gov
ernment's petition would not be
granted. The effect of this announce
ment will be to leave standing the
decision of the court Of appeals, which
was adverse to the government and
favorable to the company.

Victory for the Government.

Paris, Jan. "A scrutiny of the
results of the elections held in France
for members of the chamber of depu-
ties shows that the Radicals and the
Radical Socialists have made net
gains of fifteen seats. The Social
Independents gained two and the Con-
servatives one seat, while the Pro-
gressives lost eighteen. Thus it is
seen that the election has been vic
tory for the government and partic-
ularly for the Radicals.
