The Proof Is In Fitzgerald
Almost at Your Door

The public statement of a Fitz-
gerald citizen is in itself strong
proof for Fitzgerald people, but
confirmation strengthens the evil
dence.
Here is a Fitzgerald citizen who
testified years ago that Doan's
Kidney Pills relieved weak kidneys
and now states the result was per-
manent. Can any sufferer from
kidney ills ask better proof? You
can investigate. The case is right
at home.
Mrs. Nellie Smith, Gil w.
Oconee Ave-, Fitzgerald, Ga.
says: "You may continue to pub
lish my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. l still con-
slider this remedy the best one to
be had for kidney complaint. l use
it occasionally and my kidneys are
thus kept in good working order.
For years | had kidney complaint
and | felt weak and worn out. My
back ached and became very lame.
Dark spots often appeared before

QUEER DEFENSE IS BEING PUT UP
 IN DIGGS TRIAL

San Francisco. Aug 19,-When the trial of Maury I. Diggs, charged with violation of the Mann white slave act, was resumed this morning. it. was gen. eraIly believed that taking of testi- mony would be concluded before the afternoon adjournment
 l. P. Diggs. father of the defendant, again took the stand His testimony, begun last Friday when the defense opened its case, was intended to show that he had threatened his son with arrest because of misconduct with Marsha Warrington and other women.
 A paradox in the defense of this case is that, in the attempt being made to save young Diggs, his reputation is being deliberately assaiIed. The de- fense is attempting to prove that he and Drew Caminetti, with the War rtngton girl and Lola Norris, went from San Francisco to Reno with no the consequences of a public scandal they believed was about to break over them in Sacramento.
 Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti, who have joined their husbands in court, are expected to testify that they had been aware of the mems direlectfty and had been taking steps to check them. thus adding to their fears and contributing further cause for their flight. The defense sought to show that Diggs took Marsha Warrington because he could not get away from her; that the party would not have journeyed beyond California's limit if it had not been for the Warrington girls objections to a proposed trip to Los Angeles and therefore that it was not for immoral purposes that DiggS went with the girl to another state.
 Diggs is expected to close for the de- fense. The case against Canainetti was called by Judge Dooling in another part of the court this morning, but was passed pending the outcome of the Diggs trial.

The prisoner was taken to Hartford by 8 policeman from that city.
 A demurrer filed by Attorney W. F. Delaney, Kiefer's counsel, claiming that his client could not be punished because of the statute of limitations, was overruIed- It was alleged that the first marriage took place on November 2, 1887, and the second on April 21, 1se6 and the demurrer stated that Kiefer should have been arrested within five years of the latter date or not at all- The ruling of the court was that bigamy embodies cohabita- fion and that Kiefer was amenabIe to the law since the last date of CO., habitation-

COLORED PEACH : PACKERS IMPORTED
 BY MAGNATE HALE

Hartford, Aug 19-Peach growers in Glastonbury said, today, that the continued lack of rain is playing havoc with the crop prospects for this year. Earlier in the season it was estimated that the yield of peaches in that town would be 25O, ,000 baskets but this esti- mate is now cut to 175, 1000 and may fall below that figure. J. H. Hale said that a heavy rain would be worth thousands of dollars to the growers. A special train carrying 1,50O baskets of peaches to New England cities other than Hartford is being sent out of Glastonbury daily. Hartford uses about 2,500 baskets daily from the Glastonbury orchards and these are being brought here mostly by teams.

Lacrotx, employed by Mrs. Carrie Earle, 1O66 Barnum avenue, this morning so con clusively proved before the court that he had done so in defense of a woman that his sentence was suspended and the complainant fined $5 and costs
 According to the evidence given by both Mrs. Earle, who runs a small store on Barnum avenue and the ac- cused, the pavement has been torn up in front of the store. Mrs. Earle understood the foreman of the work to give her permission to drive her horse and wagon on the sidewalk.

Lacrox though employed only yesterday morning could not stand by and see the woman struck and promptly beat McGin who lodged a complaint. Though $5 fine was imposed upon La croix, Judge Coughlin suspended the penalty.
