Lang try of Milwaukee by a vote of 39 to 29. Langtry'a friends charge that many of the Milwaukee man's supporters were told the convention would be held in a horel in stead of at the exposition building and that had it not been for this Karpf would have been defeated.

Des Moines 1.114 In theall of 1895 I contracted that fear ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such headway that I was compelled to resign my position and seek relief at Hot Springs, After spending all the means I had I went to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of Buffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every bone in my body see tried to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital for a seven weeks stay. When I came out I was advised to try farming. When I first went on the farm I prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S. 5. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and I was covered with boils and sores. In the meantime my druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. 6. S. for me and I began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not a sore or boil was visible. R. B. Powezju East 9th St., Little Rock, Ark. Of all human diseases, Contagious Blood Poison is the most hideous and hateful. The victim is tortured with eating ulcers, sores and abscesses, unsightly blotches, eruptions and other symptoms of the mis erable disease. S. S. S. has been used successfully for nearly fifty years for Contagious Blood Poison. It con tains no mercury, potash or other mineral. Our home treatment book gives all the symp toms of this dis ease.

NATURE OF LIQUOR SOLD ESTABLISHED Considerable Effort on Part of At torneys and Coart Required to Draw Ont the Fact from One Witness. The fourth day of the saloon conspiracy case was resumed yesterday morning before Judge Munger In tne United States dis trict court with the examination of John Layman, a Wlnneb&o Indian, as the first witness. His testimony was general in its character, bear'ng upon his Visits to the bull pen back of the Lulkhart and Ennls saloons during the years 1903 and 1904 and of his purchase of liquor from Bootlegger Orr, He was followed by George Boyd, another Winnebago Indian, who testified similarly. The third witness was Charles Raymond, a Winnebago, aged 22 years, a half-blood. His testimony was In gem-ral like that' of the two preceding witnesses. Orr had told him that if he would buy his liquor through him, Orr, that it would help him along In the way of commissions. He had frequently bought whisky of Orr and of Featherlegs and other bootleggers. An effort was made by the defense to have proof furnished by the government that the liquor alleged to have been purchased by this witness was whisky. The question was put In a general way by the attorney for the government, but the witness either did not understand or did not give the requisite satisfactory answer. The court then un dertook to put the question, but with no greater success, and finally gave the matter up, saying to the government attorneys: It's too much for me; you may take the witness." It was finally drawn out of the witness that whisky was the liquor pur chased. Prices Varied Considerably. Philip Long a Winnebago, testified along like lines, to the effect that he had bought liquor of Orr In the bull pens back of the defendant's saloons, paying different prices for it, running from 60 to 60 cents per pint up to T for half a gallon. He fre quently saw Lulkhart In the back room of the saloon, where the whisky was kept In barrels Harrlnn. St Cyr, a former Winnebago and clerk of the Winnebago agency store, knew that Orr had furnished liquor to Indians in the bull pens back of defendant's saloons. The Indians were always hunting for a man to buy liquor for them. Feather legs and Orr were generally available for this work. Witness had bought liquor over the bar at Ennia saloon. He had B-en many' Indians buy liquor In the bull pens, and added, "It would take all day to name the Indians who s Jt liquor." Thomas La mere, Peter Simpson and Tay lor Hullan were other Winnebago Indian witnesses who testified similarly to those preceding. Alva Snyder, a white man, knew of Orr's bootlegging work and had seen him take liquor out to the Indiana from the saloons Into the bull pens. He had frequently seen both Lulkhart and Ennls in the little whisky room, while Orr was In there, and had seen them give Orr whlaky which he afterwards took out to his Indian custom ers. He also knew and saw Featherlegs do the bootlegging act frequently. Hotel Man Tells of Orftles. The -first witness of Tuesday afternoon's session of the saloon conspiracy trial In the United States district court was George Brassfield. a hotel proprietor and livery man of Homer. He testified as to th drunken orgies among the. Indian's In the bull pens In the rear of the saloons, and the ease with which the Indians procured whisky from the bootleggers. He saw Frank- Orr in the saloon of the defendants Lulkhart and Ennls, several times and saw Orr pay them money at the bar, and that he would receive some of the money back and put it into his pocket, then get the liquor and take it out back to the bull pen.. Witness had frequently hauled drunken Indians to their homes and had seen them have whisky that they had bought In Homer. John Cain testified that he had seen Orr buy whisky of the defendants and carry it back to the bull pen and turn it over to the Indians. The star witness of the afternoon was Alonzo Shaw, the notorious "Featherlegs," who had been brought over from the county Jail to testify. Summers Objects Strongly. Mr. Summers objected to the testimony of this witness in this case on the ground that the witness "was arrested for selling liquor to Indians; that he was arrested on September 14, 1904, for this offense, and was Indicted by the federal grand Jury In the November following, and that he had pleaded guilty to the indictment and had not as yet been sentenced, and was for this reason an Incompetent witness." Judge Munger overruled the objections, and the witness was permitted to testify. His iestlmony was In effect that he knew Frank Orr and had seen him procure liquor from the little back rooms of the saloons in question and take it out to the Indians In the bull pens. He had seen both Lulkhart and Ennls hand liquor in bottles and Jugs to Orr, that he Immedi ately took out and gave to the Indians. He also saw Orr give money to both Lulk hart and Ennls, and they would give him back his "rake off." Orr worked there about a month, went away and came back. He knew of the agreement between the defendants and Orr relative to the com missions he was to receive for what liquor he could sell to the Indians. Lulkhart asked witness to take Orr's place on the same terms when Orr went away, and he did so. He was to receive 65 cents for each gallon, 20 cents for each quart and 10 cents for each pint of whisky and 6 cents for each bottle of beer he sold to the Indians, the Bales to be made In the bull pen. "I told Lulkhart I would do It, and I did do it." Witness saw both Ennls and Lulkhart draw liquor out of the barrels and put it Into Jugs and bottles, and this was the liquor that was sold to the Indians. The In dians bought whisky and beer from the wit ness frequently. He had also at other times seen Ennls draw liquor at the bar for bootleggers- and give it to them, for which they would pay, and then Ennls would pay them their commissions back. Baxter Demands Letters. District Attorney Baxter stated that he knew that the defendants Lulkhart snd Ennls had In their possession at this time letters written to them by Featherlegs, and asked that the letters be produced in court. Judge Munger stated that he questioned the propriety of demanding the production of these letters at this time, as he was of the opinion that it would Involve a tangle that might prejudice the case. The dlrtrlrt attorney thereupon did not press his demand for the production of the letters. The last witness of the afternoon was H. O. Wilson, superintendent and disbursing agent of the Winnebago reservation. His testimony was simply to establish the tribal relations of the witnesses Grayhalr, Decor aii, Joe Johnson, ' Prosper Armell, James Yellowback and Henry Hardin, who ho testified were Winnebago Indians and allotees. A recess was then taken until t o'clock Thursday morning.
