each handed So by Chief Richmond at the
Grand hotel. Their testimony as to this
was substantially the same as contained In
the affidayits filed at the time application
for the suspension Of chief Richmond was
made by the attorney general, but refused
bv Judge Wheeler. Both witnesses were
emphatic in their statements that no sug-
gestion had been made by chief Richmond
that the money was intended TO influence
or bride them in any manner He merely
stated that he had been asked by a GER
tain person to hand them the money. The
REORGANIZATION by Attorney FINLEY in
dictated that the defense will show that
this money came from Thomas Ratcliff,
formerly part owner Of one Of the gambling
houses in this city. With whom Justice
Cooper was well acquainted. The prose-
cution's line Of examination Of these two
witnesses indicated that it wanted to inti-
mate that the money came from John C.
Mabray.
Captain Shsfer Of the police force was
put through a grlling examination as TO
the system Of arresting women of the town,
forcing them to pay fines, etc. He was
also closely questioned as to his knowledge

said, Of the operations of the gang.

Henry Roark, a stationary engineer living
at PALS Avenue F, testified to, as he alleged,
paying Chief Richmond SIS for the return
of a slot machine which had been taken by

prietor Of the hotel and brother of City
Solicitor Kimball, has made an affidavit

Postoffice Inspector Swenson was on the
stand for a considerable time during the
afternoon and told of his first getting a

and his subsequent work on the case. He
admitted hat he had not spoken TO the
chief about 1t and IN explanation said he
had not thought It safe to do sO.' The

USUALLY ONE DOSE
ENDS INDIGESTION

If your meals don't fit comfortably
or you feel bloated after eating, and
you believe it is the food which fills
you; if what little you eat lies like
a lump of lead on your stomach; 1t
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undigest'
ed food and acid, heartburn, brush
or a belching Of gas, you can make
up you mind that you need something
to stop food fermentation and cure
indigestion.
TO make every bite Of food you eat
aid in the nOurishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach of poisons, excessive acid
and stomach gas, which sOurs your
entire meal--interferes with digest
ion and causes so many sufferers OF
dyspepsia, sick headache, bilious
ness. constipation, gripping, etc. Your
case is no different-yOu are a
stomach sufferer though you call it
by some other name; you real and
only trouble is that which you eat
does not digest, but quickly ferments
and sours, producing almost any un-
healthy condition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will
cost fifty cents at any pharmacy here
and will convince any stomach suf-
ferer five minutes after taking a
single dose that fermentation and
sour stomach is causing the misery
of indigestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach, nervousness
or gastrities, or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you desire to begin it's use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out-of-order stomach within five min
utes, and digest promptly, without
