CRAWFORDSVILL1J, Oa.. Nov, to.
Thomas B, Watson, recent candidate for
the people's party for president, today ad
dressed a- large crowd at this place, the
former home of Alexander H, Stevens. His
address was received with close attention,
but with no marked enthusiasm. He spoke
In part as follows;'
In national policies the democratic psrty
stands wlmout a party, a declaration of
principles, or uccepixd loader. It Is utterly
bankrupt In reputation, it has no unity
of convktloa sentiment or purpoxe. It
contains antagonistic elements Which can
. rn-ver be harmonised, - lis secret purpose Is
so foreign to wliat domocrailo masifcs ap
prove that the eternal struts'8 of the na
tional leaders Is to prevent ine democratic
inaaaaa from penetrating that secret pur
pose. What is mat .Sucre l purpose? To use
the democratic party In support of the
sams system of class legislation whlon the
republican party stands lor. The watch
word Is "keep up Ilia attack upon repub
lican Individuals, but do nut attack the
system- of special privileges whlcu is re
sponsible for present conditions.

In other words, the socret mission of the
domocratlo parly la to keep up a sham
battle, liy keeping; the peopio divided and
deluded, they hinder the organisation of
real opposition t to prrvelcgeu . clars legisla
tion and corporate greed. Tills the na

of which the-JUutooraita republican party
can boust, for the rlelmonls, who call
themselves democrats, are Just as much In
fuvor of special privileges as the Carne
gtes and Morgans who call themselves re
publicans. X make this prediction. Bryan will be the
candidate of the democratic party In lus
and I make this second prediction. When
Bryan run for president In l&A as the
csnaiaate oi ins f araer-.eimoni-jieveiana-Uormtn
combine, he will be a worse beaten ,
man tnsn r-araer waa.
boei Ur, Bryan sincerely believe that he
can commit the national aeiruicratlc conven
tion to his recently replenished snd re
paired populist platform? If so, he must
see that the eountry Would then have two
populist parties. Such a contingent would
be laughable were not the crhtls so grave.
Mr. faijan must know that his program
promises nothing better then another spec
tacular combat at another fit. Louis con
vention, with another "dog fall" as the re
sult, another surrender on the part of Mr.
Bryan, another sham battle, before the peo

ST. LOUIS, Nov. SO. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Duquoln, 111., says that
It became known there today that threa
weeks ago Joseph Letter was Indicted on,
three counts, on the charge of bringing
armed men Into the state contrary to a
recently passed statute.
No attempt has been made to serve the
capias or arrest Letter because States
Attorney Scott, who will retire tomorrow,
wishes to leave the case over for his suc
cesHor, There Is considerable Indignation
against him for his neaMsct to Aa thla. anrl
favoritism Is charged, but this he denlss.
The Indictments were returned November
12 by the Perry county grand Jury sitting at
Plnckniyville and Include Henrv R. Piatt.
Joseph Letter's attorney. The Indictment
against each man embraces three counts.
The first count charges them with having
feloniously taken men, under armed guard,
through Perry county on their way to
Zelgler. The second charges them with
having hired armed guards for the same
purpose. The third charges them with ad
vising, aiding and abetting the hiring of
armed guards and the transportation of
men under guards.
DUQUOIN, 111., Nov. S0.-The punishment
for the offense on which the two men
have been Indicted, la confinement In thn
penitentiary fromi one to five years with
no fine as an alternative. Union miners
and railroad men in charge of the cars
on which It Is alleged Imported miners
rode and were guarded by armed men were
the witnesses before the grand Jury.
Although the Indictments were returned
November 12, capiases have not been Is
sued for the arrest of either of the men on
account, it is said, of the rush of business
In the state's attorney's office.
Slates Attorney Ppe Is a democrat and
retires from office tomorrow, to be suc
ceeded by Attorney Dry. who was lrtl
on the republican ticket.
"Why have capiases not been Issued
before now?" States Attorney Pope was
asked.
"I havo been so busy I could not attend
to the matter," he said.
"Yesterday I went before Judge Moore
and had the case continued for service
until the May term of court. This will
give my successor plenty of time to serve
the capiases. There has been no leniency
In the matter because of prominence of
the men indicted so far as this office Is
concerned." t
Members of tha eitecutlv iuuni h.
United Mine workers say that leniency
waa given Lelter and Piatt and that no
one outside of the grand 'Jury room knew
that Indictments had been returned until
the Information leaked out today. .
NEW FIRE APPARATUS WORK
Engines and Hook aad Ladder Make
Good showing la Preseaee of
Blgr Crowd. '
A big crowd saw the new hose wagons
and new eighty-five foot hook and ladder
truck tested by Fire Chief Baiter and his
assistants at Eighteenth and Farnam
streets yesterday afternoon. Both kinds of
apparatus were found to work perfectly
and will be formally accepted from .the
Seagraves company, the manufacturers.
The five hose wagons are supplied with the
Monitor nosile, which Is affixed to the
wagon, and will permit a stream to be
thrown direct from the hydrant and man
ipulated by only one man. Tho nossle can
be adjuated at any angle and left that way,
throwing a stream aa long as desired.
The eighty-five foot rapid-raising hook
and ladder truck Is ths finest apparatus of
Ita kind In Omaha. Two men can put up
the ladders In ten seconds, the weight be
ing controlled by two heavy springs In
long, tube-like oaslngs. Besides the eighty
five foot truck there Is one having fifty,
foot ladders for lighter service. This waa
not exhibited but has been found to" be
satisfactory.
The new Metropolitan engine pumped tha
water during the demonstrations. Mayor

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY IN TRIAL
Havre's Kan Appears on Many Titles,

Affidavits Made Regarding:
Claims.
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. JO. That George
A. Howe Is a myth, manipulated by the
alleged conspirator, Horace O, McKlnley
to bring about the disposition of the seven
quarter sections In township 11 south,
range 7 east, by application for the right
of lieu sections, thus placing them In the
hands of alleged conspirators, and that
Horace O. McKlnley made the request for
sn abstract of title to 4he George A. Howe
lands was the trend of evidence offered by
the government In the land fraud trial
here today.
Ths government Introduced an , abstract
title to the Howe lands on which the name
of McKlnley appears to have been erased
and that or Howe written In its place.
Early In the session the prosecution con
tinued Its effort to show by the testimony
of the government officials that George A
Howe does not represent a corporal reality
and precipitated a legal battle that con'
sumed so much time as to settle for a cr
talnty that the government will not rest
Its case before tomorrow. If then. The de
fense assumed tho position that the evl
dence ofTererd by the government to prove
the non-existence of Howe Is not competent
and that It cannot be proven by the mere
teatlmoiry of witnesses that such a man Is
not known nnd cannot be found. The prose
cutlon contended that It could be so proven
and this Is the only way to prove It snd
make Impossible the wholesale perpetra
tion of fraud and crime, and that such eri-
denre Is competent sufficiently to establish
the fact for all legal purposes that such a
person does not exist In flesh snd blood.
Judge Bellinger did not pass finally on
the merits of the contention, but said suffi
cient to warrant the conclusion that the
evidence Is competent and admlssable. He
said he would look Into the question fur
ther before ruling definitely on the point.
Evidence Against M-Klnley.X
R. W. Montague, deputy county clerk of
Lynn county under W. S. Hammer from
July, 1900, to July, 1902, the first witness
called by the government today, testified
that he was authorised to sign the name ot
Hammer to final proofs and homestead fil
ings. The defense objected on the ground
that such a right does not obtain under the
law, but the court admitted the testimony.
Mr. Montague Identified the handwriting
on the government exhibits and stated that
he had known McKlnley, Puter, Dan W.
Tarpey, Mrs. Emma L. Watson and Miss
Ware for various periods of time. The
witness said:
Some time late In the summer of 1900 Mr.
Tarpey talked to me In regard to the ac
quiring of lands In 11-7. This conversation
occurred In Albany. In the early fall of
that year he came to my office and we
talked over things In general. He snld
something about the Northern Pacific get
ting most of the lands and that the busi
ness of locating did not amount to much
any more. I then called his attention to
township 11-7, which was soon to be opened
for settlement.
He said he would see me about It later,
snd two or three weeks later I saw Mr.
McKlnley nnd possibly Mr. Tarpey. I am
not Bure about the latter. Mr. McKlnley
and 1 walked around town talking over
things In general. We were discussing, I
think, the entries of homesteads In forest
reserves, and I stated that a man must
have resided on them before the reserve
was made. He suggested something about
papers made out and sent In without the
homesteaders themselves being seen by the
official who made out the papers. I refused
to have anything to do with such a scheme
or project, or whatever It was.
lie said he knew some people who had
lived on the lands in 11-7 before the reserve
waa created, and I stated thnt If they had
a shadow of a title t would take their
proofs. Some were taken About the time
the first were made out one or two of the
parties did not appear. Mr. McKlnley paid
the fees and I sent the papers to the laud
office.
In regard to the papers for the parties
who did not appear I at first said I would
not make them out, and Mr. McKlnley said
he would get their signatures. I did not
know any of the people who appeared be
fore me, except as they were Introduced by
Mr. McKlnley. As near ns I can remember
Mr. Tarpey hud nothing to do with this at
all.
I saw the majority of those who aonenred
before me sign the papers, but I might
have been out of the room once or twice
and some of the signatures might have
been attached while I was out. All that
appeared before tne made good proof and
dictated the dnta that was filed In the
papers. Mr. McKlnley was present when
each proof was filled out.
I administered the oath to each one who
appeared before me.
"Who were those who appeared before
you?" asked Mr. Hall.
The witness was allowed to refer to a
memorandum before answering.
'Those who appeared before me were
George A. Graham, Thomas Wllklna, George
A. Pettis, Zenss E. Watson, Nellie Backus
and Alexander K. Brown. Those who did
not appear were Mattle 8. Lowell, William
McLaughlin, Christie E. Langham, John
Foster, James A. Taylor, Albert C. Austin
and John Wakefield."
Makes Ont False Papers.
"I sent off the first papers and, the entry
men did not appear," continued the wit
ness, "but Mr. McKlnley paid the fees.
After I did that It did not seem that I
could refuse and I thought I could not get
out of It, so I sent the rest.
"All of the papers were fully made out
and he was to bring the entrymen up to
wear to them, but he said It wou be all 4
right. I never saw any or tnose wno aia
not appear before me but whose papers I
sent In."
My certificate on the papers that all of
those people appeared before me was not
true," said the witness, thus directly con
necting himself with the alleged conspiracy.
"Now, Mr. Montague," continued Mr.
Hall, "who paid for the publication of the
notices In regard to the final proofs?"
"Mr. McKlnley paid $160 and office fees,
$1, clerk's fee and $S for publication," was
the answer.
"Could the witness remember what paper
they were printed In?"
"No, he could not."
. At this point the witness was handed a
paper which proved to be a receipt for
money paid him by Horace G. McKlnley
as a psrt of the regular fees for the work
performed. It was ruled out by Judge
Bellinger. ,
Further questioning by the district at
torney brought a reiteration of the state
ment that-ln each of the seven eases cited,
where the paper were sent into the land
office without Mr. Montague having seen
the entrymen, Horace McKlnley brought
them, to him personally.
Tha silence In the court roomvas ths
words, connecting Horace McKlnley with
seven of the overt acts, were uttered was
Intense. Every eye was turned toward the
defendant, but he gave little algn that what
he heard Interested him.

THE VALUB OF CHARCOAL
Pew People Know How Vsefnl It Is In
Preserving; Health and Beanty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal li
the safest and most efficlVnt disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise lU
value when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all.
but simply absorbs ths goses and Impuri
ties always present In the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out of the
system. ,
Charcoal sweetens the breath aftnr smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion, It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin
fects the mouth and throat from ths poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In ons form
or another, but probably the best charooaj
and the most for the money Is In Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form,
or rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting losenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of then losenges will soon
tell in a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It Is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but oa the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of th
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomaoh and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify ths
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally
uss of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and although
In soma sense a patent 'preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal In
Stuart's Charcoal" Losenges than la any of
tha ordinary charooaj tablets.'

not consider the moment opportune for the
convening of such a conference", and it.
therefore, must withhold Its formal ac
ceptance of the Invitation until the war In
the Far East was at ah end,
Although different In form, the Russian
reply does hot differ In effect from that of
Great Britain, France and the other Euro
pean powers, practically all of which hnve
answered tha invitation. While Russia Is
the first power specifically to suggest a
postponement until the close of the war, all
the powers In expressing their approval of
the proposition reserved for future pour
purlers the time when the conference
should be held.
It can be stated this government Is well
pleased with the reception Its note has re
ceived. The powers signatory to The
Hague convention have been officially com
mitted to a second conference at some fu
ture time. In his note Secretary Hay pur
posely omitted suggesting a date for the
assembling of the conference, realising that
certain powers might hesitate to take up
for final definition such complicated ques
tions as the rights of neutrsls at a time
when a great war was In progress. So far
as the Russian government Is concerned. It
Is stated that It Is naturally averse to dis
cussion of the many political questions
which would come before the conference st
a time when Its attention Is devoted to a
foreign war.
Hearing- Coal Road Cases.
When the coal hearing was resumed
today before the Interstate Commerce
commission, Mr. Shenrn of counsel for Mr.
Hearst continued his cross-examination of
Mr. Blauvelt, comptroller of the Erie rail
road. '
The witness was questioned particularly
I concerning the amount of operating ex
penses and taxes per train mile of his
road as compared with the net earnings
per train mile. Mr. Blavelt admitted that
the official reports of his road showed that
for the year 1903 as against 1300 the oper
ating expenses were less, while the net
earnings were more for the same period.
The net Income of the Erie road from Its
coal companies for the year 1900, Mr.
Blauvelt said, was 1236,641, and for the yesr
1901, ln which they acquired the Pennsyl
vania Coal company, $1,274,830.
Mr. Blauvelt, In reply to Mr. Bhearn, de
clared thnt these amounts represented
what actually was turned over by the coal
companies after paying Interest on 132,
000,000of bonds and after a payment on
account of the sinking fund. Mr. Blauvelt
said prior to 1903 the coal companies of
the Erie railroad did not earn enough to
pay the cost of operation and the Interest
on the purchase bonds. In 1903, he said,
the condition was Improved, and In 1904 It
became normal.
At the afternoon session W. N. Wilson,
auditor of the Lehigh railroad, gave evi
dence tending to show that the rate re-
celved by his road for all Its tonnage other
than coal between the anthracite regions
and tidewater back and forth, Is higher
than the rate on anthracite coal.
The taking of testimony was concluded
today and the chairman announced that
oral arguments would be heard beginning
Thursduyt January 6. '

PIERRE, 8. D., Nov. 10. (Special.)
State Auditor Halladay has submitted his
annual report to the governor, showing In
detail the financial transactions of the state
for the past year. In his letter -of trans
mittal he deals largely with financial af
fairs and makes a strong plea for the same
economy In state affairs by the legislature
as they would use In their own personal
business.
In the last year, with a deficiency levy
of t mills, the disbursements of the state
funds exceeded the receipts by $47,364.60,
nnd without this levy, which returned rev
enues to the amount of 1454,177, the de
mands on the state would have exceeded
the revenues In an amount approximately
half a million dollars. This condition has
been largely brought about by heavy tle
Uclency appropriations.
