Many remedies are recommended

that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven it's value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can

Nutty Youth attempts to
Shoot Up Capitol Court

Washington, June 24.-Judge, law
yers, policemen and spectators were
sent scurrying to cover In the criminal
court here late Monday when Ray M.
Stewart, aged 1S, fired three wild shots
in an attempt to "shoot up" the
court. At the first crack Justice Wen
dali P. Stafford disappeared beneath
his desk and out in the court room
there was wild scramble for places of
safety. Some sought refuge under
tables, or behind heavy chairs, and
others, frenzied by fear, leaped into
windows and dropped to the ground,
some is or 20 feet below. Justice
Stafford had just refused to release
Stewart on probation after conviction
for attempted highway robbery. The
boy whipped out pistol and fred

missed Assistant United States Attor-

Washington, June Ex-senator
Walsh, of Montana, resumed his anti
free sugar speech today when the
Democratic caucus was resumed. Sem
ators Newlands, Ransdell, Thornton
and Williams were ready to support
an amendment to strike out the pro-
vision for free sugar in 1916.
The sugar schedule promised to
take up the entire day. Senator James
led the defense. The proposal to
bind senators to the bill as approved
by the caucus will not come up until
all sections have been approved.
Democrats opposed to free sugar en-
livened the senatorial caucus late
Monday, beginning their final effort to
change the schedule before the tariff
bill reaches the Senate for general
debate. Western and Louisiana sem
ators were primed to make a titanic
fight against the provision approved
and urged by President Wilson, which
provided that sugar shall be free Of
duty in 1916. Senators Shafroth, Of
Colorado, and Walsh, of Montana,
took up the contest when the schedule
was reached suddenly in the after
noon. 1t had not been expected that
the caucus would reach sugar before
today, but the metal and wood sched-
ules were rushed through without
much discussion and before 5 o'clock
the decks were cleared for the first
and most determined party tariff
struggle. This will be acid test for
free sugar. To the decision Of the
caucus the Democratic Senators win
be pledged, and the prospect is that
only Senators Thornton and Ransdell
of Louisiana will be released from the
binding resolution that is to be adopt,
ed. There is a possibility of one other
senator asking for relief. Senator
Ransdell, who is leading the fight on
free sugar, hurried from the caucus

in Mississippi, according to a decision
of the supreme court yesterday.
The case of Charley Horton against
the state came UP on an appeal from
a lower court, where he was convicted.
The record disclosed the fact that Hor-
ton had put up 40 cents and man
named Heartherly contributed 35
cents to form pool for the purpose Of
buying bottle Of whiskey. Here. to
quote from the opinion, is a reference
to the quick manner In which the men
put down" the booze:
Appellant took charge of the money
for the bottle of whiskey. He and
Heatherly afterwards and speedily
consumed the same"
The appeal was taken because the
lower court refused a request Of ap-
pellant to instruct for a verdict Of
mot guilty" The supreme court in de-
Gliding the case, says:
"The fact that the respective shares
Of the parties were not in separate
containers does not alter the fact that

says that the fact that there was con-

evidence that persons seen coming

Justify a verdict of guilty.
