IMPORTANT POINT

The Defense In the Postal Cases Secures a Valuable Ruling;. LEGAL BATTLE IS ON Hearirjj of Machen, the Grofla and the Liorcnzes Promises a Pretty Contest of Wits. No Point Will Re Left Unibufjht By the Defense to Strengthen Its Side. Washington, Jan. 16. In the trial of August W. Machen, the Grofl brothers and Dr. and Mrs. Lorenz, charged with conspiracy to defraud the government, the defense scored an important point with respect to the character of evidence to be introduced at this time by the government. The defense insisted that the government had not brought forth any documentary evidence showing the existence of a conspiracy to defraud the government and FEBr.T 8. HEATH. that that which was being offered naturally should follow the evidence of conspiracy so as to specifically connect the defendants with the various transactions which had been referred to. The court sustained the point. At one point in the trial Mr. Douglass, for the defense, called on Justice Pritchard to reprimand First Assistant Postmaster-General Wynne for volunteering the statement that a former employe of the postofSce department recently has been sentenced in Baltimore to a term of two years in the penitentiary. The suggestion vas not complied with but the justice instructed the jury that their minds must not be prejudiced by the statement of Mr. Wynne. Perry S. Heath, former assistant postmaster general, who was subpoenaed from his home in Salt Lake City to state what he knew about the administration of his office, was placed on the stand. Heath was visibly nervous, but made his answers slowly and deliberately. No changes in the postofSce administration had been inaugurated by him, he declared. He said the Groff fasteners had been accepted before he took office. Heath said he had never known the Groffs nor had he ever seen them until he entered the -court room. Vote Buyer Punished. Chicago, Jan. 16. Alderman John Brennan of the Eighteenth ward was taken to the house of correction last night to serve a sentence of one year for violation of the election laws. The specific charge against Brennan was that in the last judicial election In the spring of 1903 he purchased votes in the Eighteenth ward in the interest of Judge Elbridge Hanecy. At the time of Brennan's conviction Herbert E. Kent and Charles A. McCarle were also convicted of the same offense, but received shorter sentences. lincid Rival. A Determ Bluefield, W. Va., Jan. 16.

MYE DISEASES READILY CUBE

About thirty years ago two German physicians made the wonderful discovery that every portion of the body is controlled by and supplied with vitality by nerve centers located in different parts of the brain. Later Dr. Miles, President of the Grand Dispensary, discovered that defects of these delicate centers were a prolific cause of many weaknesses and diseases of the various bodily organs. If an engine does not receive sufficient power it cannot do ts work. The same is true of the lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, womb, bladder, etc. Loss of nerve power is a prolific cause of consumption, dyspepsia, headache, pain, Brights' and heart disease, nervousness, debility, etc. This discovery is rapidly revolutionizing the treatment of this class of diseases. Cases that were formerly incurable now yield readily to Dr. Miles' new treatment. Weak nerve centers cause or complicate every lingering or chronic disease. Persons having any weakness or disease, should read Dr. Miles' "Neuropathy," a booklet treating on Nerve Cure for all chronic diseases, which will be sent free. It contains many interesting facts and fine illustrations of the various brain centers which control the numerous organs. It shows the seat of life where a pin prick will cause instant death. Do not fail to send postal for it. If you wish a better understanding of your disease, if you desire a speedy cure, if you would prolong your life, remember that " Knowledge is power" and send a postal to Franklin L. Miles, M. D.t LL. B., Grand Block, 564 to 574 Main street, Elkhart, Ind., for this free book. Every progressive person should read it. 1,000 testimonials free upon request.

PUBLIC'S SAFETY

.Recent Iroquois Theater Uorror Leads to Decis ive Action. TAKING NO CHANCES Indianapolis Authorities Ijooktnj? Into the Matter of Improperly Constructed Theaters. Ordinance Will Be Amended to Insure the Safeguarding of ' the Public. Indianapolis, Jan. 16. The city council is taking an active part in the agitation to see that the theaters of this city are put in such condition that such a disaster as that which occurred in Chicago recently shall not happen in Indianapolis. - It is proposed to make several amendments to the theater ordinance to insure the placing of the buildings in the best of condition. In order that there may be no errors the councilmen are taking the matter in hand themselves, and in the last two days the special committee appointed to investigate this important question has been making a personal examination of the theaters to see if they are in good shape. The councilmen have found some things which they think should be remedied, and when the new ordinance is drawn up it will provide for the alterations they think should be made. PROBABLE MURDER MYSTERY Foul Play Suggested In the Burning cf Three Persons. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 16. Coroner Tabor is making an investigation of the causes leading to the death of Mr3. Elizabeth Wardell and her two daughters, aged seven and fourteen. The bodies were found burned to a crisp in the ruins of their home, which was destroyed by fire. At first it was supposed that the house was burned by fire from an old and broken stove in the bedroom, but later Coroner Tabor made a thorough examination of the bodies and found that all the skulls were crushed and the brains were fried by the heat of the fire. It is possible, according to the coroner, that the heat burst the skulls, but the brains being cooked as they were, indicates that the skulls were first crushed and then the house set on fire. In examining the bodies again Coroner Tabor found that the abdomen of Bessie Wardell was split open before it was burned. The incision is clean cut and the coroner believes that it may have been made with a knife. A circumstance which leads to the belief that there was foul play is that threats are said to have been made against the Wardell family. The fsher is at Michigan City prison, serving a sentence for attempted assault on Edith, one of the glrls.who died in the flames. Another Chance for Dunn. Indianapolis, Jan. 16. Charles W. Dunn, who was convicted of the murder of little Alice Cothrell at Wallen, Ind., is to have another chance for his life, the supreme court having granted a rehearing in his case. When the Judgment of conviction was affirmed last June, two Judges out of five dissented, though Judge Dowling, who wrote' the majority opinion, expressed the opinion that his guilt was clearly shown. In the netition for a rehearing It was earnestly insisted that no evidence showed Dunn even to have seen the little girl on the day she was murdered, and that the chief evidence against his character was not worthy of any belief. A Singular Accident. North Manchester, Ind., Jan. 16. While Mr. and Mrs. John E. Buckingham were sleigh-riding, the mother carrying a two-months-old child in her arms, the horses became frightened and in his effort to control them Mr. Buckingham's arm slipped in such a way that he struck the little one with his elbow. The child made no outcry, nor did the father think the blow of ufflcient force to cause injury, but when they reached home the little one was dead In its mother's arms. Dropped Baby In Fright. Alexandria, Ind., Jan. 16. Mrs. Edward Allen, carrying her eight-months-old daughter in her arms, attempted to cross East Washington street in front of a rapidly approaching runaway team. The shouts of the driver confused he and In her alarm she dropped the child, and before she could rescue the little one it was crushed to death under the wheels of the wagon. Murder Trial Set. Anderson, Ind., Jan. 10. The trial of Andrew J. Baker of Elwood on an Indictment of manslaughter for having shot and killed Fred Kiser in the streets of Elwood last fall, will be called in the circuit court next Tuesday.
