A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE ANYONE
The GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY

A few years ago l was troubled with
a complication of kidney and stomach
ailments and although l tried two or
three different doctors, l was unabI,
to obtain a cure. Having heard a
great deal about Swamp-Root, decid-

one-dollar bottle of Mr.. Alexander, the
druggist. From the beginning l could
notice a change for the better and af-
ter taking eight bottles of your medi-
cine, I felt entirely cured and have
not had any trouble since.
Had 1 began using Swamp Root
sooner, would have been few hun
dred dollars to the good and saved my
self a lot of suffering.
You may use my testimonial any

Of POIiGCG LieUtGnaRtiR New
York

New York, Oct. 29.-Lieut. Charles
Becker, who has shown signs of a
hysterical collapse during the past
two days, had regained his nerve to-
day and was the same collected, quiet,
calm man of iron he was before he
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree. His bitterness of yester-
day has disappeared and he was
ashamed of the impetuous statements
he had allowed himself to make.
Il am sorry" he said. that l was
impelled by impetuosity to issue a
statement in contradiction to the o.
ders of my counsel John F. McIn-
tyre. have nothing to say today"
Becker tomorrow will face an ordeal
just as trying as his task of listening
to the verdict, when he is arraigned
at 1890 o'clock for sentence. Yester-
day Becker declared that when he was
asked if he knew any good reason why
sentence should not be passed upon
him he would tell tn ewhole story he
had planned to tell on the witness
stand in his own defense,
Beckers changed attitude makes it
almost certain now that he will make
no such address to the court. The
strongest advice of his counsel is
against it.
Jack Rose, Sam Schepps, Harry
WALTON and Bridge Weber, the four
informers and chief witnesses in the
Becker case are likely tos pend the
next year-possibly the next two or
three years-in Jail. District Attor>
ney Whitman has decided they must
be kept under lock and key until the
Becker case is closed.
Mr. Whitman will need all four
men, if Becker should get new trial
and, as it will ttke a year or more to
settle whether or not the former lieu
tenant is to be tried again, Mr.. Whit
man will not risk losing his star wit
nesses. There seems no doubt that the
district attorney can keep the men in
jail as long as he likes, for Rose,
Weber and WALTON are held on
charges of murder, while Schepps will
be held from week to week on a va
grancy charge.

DOUBLE MEANING TO
A DEMOCRATIC VOTE
No Empty BaIlOting by Dem.
OCratS This Time.

Atlanta, Oct 29.-The Georgia Will
son headquarters is calling attention
this morning in an enthusiastic state
ment that this is a year in which it
will be worth while to vote the ma
tional democratic ticket in Georgia.
The democrats who march to the
polls on November 5th will not be ex-
ercising a mere empty right of fran
chise for the sake of registering their
convictions; they will be helping ov-
erturn the republican administration;
they will be helping put Woodrow Will
son in the White House, and they will
be helping Georgia to take her right
full place in the councils of the ma
ton as a democratic stronghold.
That it will be to Georgia's advant-
age and to the advantage of every in
dividual democrat in Georgia for this
state to show up as strongly as posi-
BILE in the election, is to patent prac-
teal fact that the reason requires no
extended explanation The democrat
who fails or forgets to do his duty
this year will be abandoning his party
at the very moment when the party is
riding in to victory.

10 solution was referred 10 the Commit
tee on Rules, and Mr.. 'Shaughnessy was
assured that he would be given an early
hearing on it. The measure sets forth
that it has been reported that the two
railroads named are working In combi-
nation in violation of law. and that the
combination controls. in addition 10 the
two lines certain steamship companies.
The Southern New England Railway
Company also is mentioned as a part OF

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

There are so many good things al
Chase's Theater this week that it would
he difficult TO separate the walnuts and
wine from the entrees. For instance, the
| curtain goes up on a man and a pack
OF cards. and goes down on eight trained
nurses, doctor, and a man that is only
sick because it is convenient to be so.
Merlin is the man in the opening act.
and he has a deck OF cards. What he
does with the cards is his entertainment
teeth that adds to the illusion-for illu-
sion it is.
Now. for the trained nurses. They are
staged by Jesse L. Basky in an act
bearing their name. Featured with the
act are Gladys Clark and Henry Berg
man. who are nearly the whole thing
except, Of course, the nurses. who, by
the way, are some nurses. Any one who
gets sick and wants a nurse write to
Laslky. He has all kinds-and all good
kinds. Others in this sick act Of
Lasky's, except of course the nurses,
whose names are In small print, are Anna
Miller, Elizabeth Murray, and an elevator
boy. The act would make any one we'll
for a little while.
Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Crane. who have
been favortes always. are back again
ferent. 1t is a farce and a capital one
at that This act shares honors with
the best on the programme.
There are only six acts, but they are
good ones. For instance. it would be
difficult TO get better entertainment than
is offered by a young woman, billing
herself as Juliet. For about thirty min
utes this young woman works hard, gets
a lot of laughs. and is altogether pleas
ing. She presents character studies from
life. 1t is a big jump from a Scotch
boy, with the toothache. to a French
modiste, but Juliet makes the leap, and
doesn't get hurt in doing II. She lands
well in every attempt.
Andrew F. Kelley. called The Lad
from Ireland" tells some unusually good
Irish stories, and then to show there is
no racial feeling about it, goes across
the border and grabs a tale from Scot
land. although it is not anything like
the story told by Julie,.
To add variety to the entertainment,
the Alpine troupe of rope walkers also
are on the bill. They have been seen
with Ringling's circus, and have an un-
usually fast and entertaining act. With
the circus the act was featured.
There is something about every one of
the six acts that will please the most
discerning. 1t rained yesterday, and the
hill was just such a one as to drive
away the gloom which usually accom- ]
panies the falling rain
