JURY SYSTEM IS GIVEN SCORING
8ritish Barrister Dogs Not Like the American Idea.
MUCH TllviE IS WASTED.
THE BRITISH NEVER THINK OF
EXAMINING THE JURORS AS j THEIR GOOD FAITH IS TAKEN j FOR GRANTED. I
Chicago, 111., May !.-The Armf-r-fean system of selecting jurors wu severely scored by Sidney j
8. J. Steadruan, a Iondon barrister, wh6 visited a Chicago court room and listened with amazement to the Ion:,' examination of talesmen. He declared that In England even in the most important civil and criminal cases, tho Jury, as a rule is secured within three minutes. "The principal officer of the court, whose duty is to assist the judge is supplied with a lint, usually containing forty or fifty names taken from a list of persona qualified to serve," he said. "From this list he calls twelve names, taking them from the list in any order he pleases. As each man is called, he goes into the jury box until twelve are there. At that moment there is a pause before they are sworn when either Bide may challenge but
that right is rarely used. The goo1 faith and impartiality of the jury is taken for granted. After that moment elapses, the jury is ordered to arise, the cath is administered, and at once the counsel for the prosecution rises to open his case." The English solicitor was positive the British usually are positive-that under the British system miscarriage:; of justice were rare, and that "graft" and "jury fixing" are practically unknown. He gasped in astonishment as he listened to the quizzing of the veniremen, and heard the lawyers for the prosecution and defense question them. When told that in some insiances days elapse without a single juror being secured, he exclaimed: "The tinr:e wasted by your method:-' nu;t be prodigious. The j. .Kfv wi-itir..? jurymen, the parties to t he cau:-.e and the counsel - think of the thiio that goes for naught. A few minutes devoted by the judge at the opening of the case, or even in the summing up, would in practically every instance achieve the same end. The wheels of justice would go round faster."
SPURIOUS
WORKS
OP ART ARE SOLD
Investigation Leads to Some Startling Discoveries.
SUCCESSFUL IMITATION.
SO CLOSELY HAS THE WORK OF THE GREAT MASTERS BEEN FOLLOWED THAT DETECTION HAS BEEN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
UNITED STATES TROOPS WILL SOON LEAVE CUBA. Washington, May !). The first and second battalions of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, now'' in Cuba, will be withdrawn as soon as practicable. This decision was reached at the request of Brig.-Gen. William H. Carter, commanding the department of the lakes, who said that his department had not sufficient men for the regular target practice and manoeuvers. No additional troops 4will be sent to Cuba to relieve the two battalions withdrawn. No further withdrawals are contemplated.
IS NOT AT ALL AFRAID OF AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Chicago, III., May 4. That spurious works of art for years not only have been sold but sold in wholesale quantities to dealers, collectors and institutions throughout the country was the revelation made here as a result of an inquiry by some of the leading art collectors of America. Shocked, why the art world of the United States and Europe is aghast. W. M. R. French, director of the Art Institute of Chicago, made the disclosures, in defense of genuine art works. For many years, It seems, the most discriminating purchasers of paintings aud the most reliable critics have been grossly deceived by dealers, as
sisted by clever painters. Not only have .the uncompleted works of recognized masters been finished, but even their individual style has been imitated no successfully that the best judges of art have been imposed upon. The works that have been most successfully and persistently counterfeited are those of three great masters of American landscape painting George Iunes, the elder. Homer Martin and A. H. Wyant, all of whom are dead. Even the immortal name of the great Whistler is said to have been forged on spurious paintings, as well as those of Henry W. Ranger, J. Francis Murphy- and Ralph Blakelock. Although Corot never turned out. more than 1.500 or 2.000 paintings, 40,000 "Corots" have been sold in the United States. Turner, it is asserted, produced something like 4.000 pictures; but many times that number have been sold to art collectors who believed they were buying the real thing. It. has been estimated that counterfeit paintings have been disposed of in the United States to the amount of not. less than $130,000. A large part of the counterfeiting is charged to an Englishman from a western state, who went to New York poor and today is wealthy as the result of his nefarious work.

Although her competitors worked assiduously and sho did not report any additional votes yesterday. Miss Ida Reeson of Greensfork, continues to lead the contest in the Niagara Falls proposition. Her lead over all competitors is regarded as substantial and indications are that sho will not be headed for some time. Miss Lucie Benton, of Fountain City appears to be a consistent gainer and her helpers vote for her daily. Eleven of the contestants are beyond the 1,000 mark and all are gaining regularly. There is always a prospect for others to enter and push the present leaders. Such a proposition never has been made before to readers of a newspaper printed in Wayne county. The trip to the Falls will be free and all that is ashed in exchange is a few hours' work in soliciting subscriptions to the Palladium.

Days Are Lost Indigestion spoils many a day that can be saved with Kodol. When the stomach fails, let Kodol do the digesting. That's all that is necessary, and more than anything else can do. See our guarantee.
It is wrong to suffer from indigestion, when Kodol means instant relief. Please let it digo.-t your food. If your ankle was lame you would aid it. If the body was weak you would rest it. It is far more Important to rest the weak stomach. Not by dieting, for that means partial starvation. The body requires many sorts of fo d. To cut out some elements means to rob some parts. But let Kodol, for a little time, do what the stomach cant do. Then see how quickly the Etomach recovers.
st ant. It even begins in the mouth by increasing the flow of saliva.
Undigested food grows hard, and irritates the stomach lining. It causes inflammation sometimes ulceration. That is the source of the pain. It also ferments and forms gas. It decays and breeds germs. And those germs load the blood with their poisons. That leads to serious troubles. Don't think that the stomach can ever get strong while those conditions continue.
Kodol consists of all the digestive elements. In highly concentrated form. It digests all torts of food, and completely. It doeB all that the healthiest stomach can do. Pepsin is part of it, but pepsin digests albumen only. Starch requires something else, fat something else. Kodol combines all that is needed. Digesters which depend solely on pepsin uo only what pepsin does. They are but half way treatments. Other elements are Just as essential, and they must be in liquid form. That is why Kodol is liquid. And, because it is liquid, like the digestive juices. Us action Is In-
The action of Kodol can be easily proven!, either in the stomach or out of it. K.u what you need of the food that you want, and take Kodol. Note the absence of pain and g.is. You know to a certainty that the food ia digesting. Or you can see It digest food in a test tube, under proper conditions. In these laboratory te;-ts, Kodol digests every whit of the food, just as it does in the stomach. All other digesters digest but part of the food, just as they do In tha stomach. Don't employ half way measures, for the stomach needs complete relief. Any undigested food will, through irritation, interfere with the cure. Nothing but Kodol does all that must b done. Na other digester can digest all foods. Our Guarantee We ask you to prove these statements at our risk. Buy a dollar bottl of Kodol. and ask for the signed guarantee. If the results are not as claimed, tak the empty bottle back with tha warrant, and your druggist will return your money. This offer applies to the large bottle only, and to but one in a family. This is sufficient to prova how much Kodol means to you. If you need relief, won't you learn how to get tt on such a fair offer as that? Kodol Is prepared at the laboratories of EL CL DeWitt & Co.. Chicago. The $1.00 bottle contain 2Va times asniucb aa the 50c boiUe.
A SEARCH FOR BONES
Thought That Some 12,000,000 Old Are in Western States.
JOURNEYS OF INTEREST.
New York. May f. In the hope of finding fossil bones 1:MoO.hk years old. dating back to the dawn of life, four expeditions will be sent out by the American Museum of Natural History into as many western states. The first party will leave in a few week:;, two will go in June and the last in August. The first party will go to Nebraska, where they will confine their investigations to the ancestry of mammals, such as three-toed horses. Their
studies embrace the Miocene ieriod, which scientists say, was at its flower 1.mo,inm years ago. The second party goes to Wyoming for an investigation of the deposits of the Eocene period, which is placed some 2,xh.u"X) years ago in the calendar of the scientists. The third party by going to Montana will get into a period in the history of the world which is l!.KX,ooo years behind the Eocene, or a matter of 4,ooO.000 years ago, when lived the dinosaurs. The fourth and last group of scientists will take up in Texas. In the Lone Star state, extending over manymiles, are deposits of the Permian period, not less than 12,mn).X)0 to 14.txx.0t)O years ago. or really somewhere near the dawn of animal life in the
world.
