TITE OMAI1A DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAKCTI 12. 100.V CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA COUNCIL BLUFFS GOOD WITNESS FOR D3YLE Hewsjaper Man Details ErenU in the Early Dayi of Cripple Creek. $AYS BURNS ADMITTED PARTNERSHIP t Conclusion of Ills Trtllmonr Read la ( Transcript of Evidence In Former Trial of Case la Rtiamri. , In the Doyle-Burns nult yesterday the monotony of reading evidence from the transcript of the former trial wan relieved ry the plaintiff putting on hie first oral witness, Thomas M. Howell, a former Colo Tad newspaper man who was one of the pioneers of the Cripple Creek district. He was not a witness at the former trlnl, hence his appearance attracted considerable in terest. Mr. Howell demonstrated that he had a peculiarly good memory, and upon cross-examination was able to point out on a large photogrnph the locations of rablna of different prospecting parties, of tho mines in controversy, trails over the mountains and wagon roads. In substance, his testimony was as fol lows! Ho went to Cripple Creek In the latter part of May or first part of June. 3X91, as a newspaper correspondent and at that time there were few people In the dls ' trlct. He became acquainted with James P. Burns and Jerry O'Drlscoll In the fall of the same year. Burns told him that he and O'Drlscoll were there to prospect for and locate mining claims and that they were being "grub staked" by John D. O'Halre of Colorado Springs. At this time Burns and O'Drlscoll were living In a tent. Doyle Appears on Scene. In January, 1892, Doyle came to the camp with Burns and Doylo, Burns and O'Drlscoll started to build a cabin. After It Was completed they lived in it for a short time, when Doyle and Burns on one aide and O'Drlscoll and O'Halre on the other had a fight, which resulted In Doyle . and Burns being driven out of the cabin. Doyle and Burns then moved Into a tent, ' -where they bunked together. . Immediately after this quarrel Burns told witness that he was through with the Colorado Springs i parties and O'Drlscoll and that he and Doyle were then partners. From this on Doyle and Bums were ever together, worked together, occupied the same bunk together and shared the hardships of the mining camp together. He saw Doyle and Burns working to gether on the Portland, Professor Qrubbs, ' Bobtail No. I and Tidal Wave. Tfie Tidal Wave was Jump J by Doyle and Burns In the summer of 189!. Before this It was known as the Maude White or Mayor j Hprague claim. The witness' attention was called to this jumping of the Maude White y Burns' and Doyle and the location by ' them of the Tidal Wave, from the fact . that the owners of the Mayor Bprague claim had complained to the miners' com- , mlttee against Doyle and Burns. - A day or two after the committee called upon Doyle and Burns, Howell went oyer to Doyle and Burns' cabin and Bums said to him that the reason he and Doyle lo cated the claim was because there had not been a proper and legal location made of the Maude White claim; that consequently the ground was public domain and that he and Doyle In working upon the Bobtail had discovered a vein of ore that ran through this ground, which they had lo cated at the Tidal Wave. After this he frequently saw Doyl and Burns working together on the Tidal Wave, Admissions hy Barns. Howell also testified that "Big" Tom Har nan and Jim Doyle, in the fall of 1892 or the spring of 1893. did the work for the purpose of obtaining a patent upon the Bobtail No. t claim, and that this shaft on the Bob tall ,No. 2 was sunk by Doyle and Harnan. About this time Burns told the witness that he and the "lad" (meaning Doyle) owned the Bobtail No. I the Tidal Wave, Devil's Own, Portland and other properties, together. On cross-exmlnatlon the witness was asked if he did not know that ore In the Bobtail No. 2 was not discovered until Oc tober, 1892, and that therefor It would have been Impossible for Bufns and Doyle to have found a vein of ore running from the Ilobtall through to the Maude White or Tidal Wave in the summer of that year. The witness answered that all he knew was what Burns had told him, and that this was all he had testified to. Howell was on the stand the greater part of the day and at the close of his cross examination counsel for the plaintiff com menced the reading of the testimony given at the former trial by Mrs. Stedman, who kept a boarding house In the vicinity of the claims In controversy and whose tes timony was to the effect that she often saw Doyle and Burns working together on the claims in question. young Conkllng was Irresponsible and not mentally strong.

What Sulphur Does , For the Human Body' In Health and ' ' ' ' " rtfuense. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of. us the early days when our mothers , and grandmothers, gave us our ' dally dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and tall. ' ' It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonlo and cure-all, and mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was , not without merit. , The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity bad ta be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get an the beneficial effects of sulphur In a palatable,, concentrated form, so that a single grain la far more hctive than a tablespoonful of the crude rulphur. In recent years research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use '.a that obtained from Cal- ' clum (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug ' stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and contain the aqtlyo medicinal principle of sulphur in' a highly con- centrated, effective form. Few people aro aw&r of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maln- 1 talnlng bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver, and excretory . organs and purifies and enriches the blood , by the prompt elimination of waste ma terial. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molaseea every spring and fall but the crudity and Impurity 1 of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often wore than the disease, and cannot com- ' pare with the modern concentrated prep arations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Cal cium Wafo's is undoubtedly th best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood In a way that often surprises patient and physicians alike. .Dr. R. M. Wllklne while experimenting ' with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium waa superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when result, tng from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suf fering from bolls' and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers la a proprietary article and sold by drug gists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians', yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kid ney troubles and especially In ail forms of akin diseases as this remedy." . At any rate people who aro tired of pills, cathartics and ao-cailtd blood "purifiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium Wafers, a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation. Sunday Services.

Although the Board of Education de clined to enforce the compulsory vaccina tion edict of the local Board of Health, the teachers and pupils of the public schools are, according to Superintendent Clifford, generally complying with the order but there will be quite a number who for various reasons will refuse to be vacci nated. As the Board of Education refused to be responsible for the enforcement of - tha compulsory vaccination order, no Instruc tions were Issued the principals of the several school buildings and nothing has been done to compel the pupils to comply with the Board of Health's order. Super intendent Clifford, however, secured re ports from the different principals yester day and they disclosed the fact that prob ably over half of the pupils In the city schools have been vaccinated and that quite a number more expected to be be fore school opened Monday. A number of pupils have presented their certificates, although no orders were issued to them to do so and those have been preserved . by the principals. With few exceptions the teachers have complied with tho Board of Health's order. When seen yesterday In regard to this matter Superintendent Clifford said: "Re ports from the principals of the several school buildings Indicate that at least half. If not more, of the children attending school have been vaccinated and I under stand that quite a number expect to before school reopens Monday. Those who have been vaccinated have presented their cer tificates and these the principals are hold ing until they receive instructions. ' Indi cations are that there will be quite a num ber of children whose parents will refuse to permit them to be vaccinated, but of course as matters now stand they will not be kept from school, at least by the prin cipals. What action the Board of '. Health will take Monday when the schools open re mains to be seen, but from statements made by Mavor Macrae-, president of the' local Board of Health, he Is determined that the Board'a order shall be enforced. An opinion from the state's attorney gen eral as to the power of the local health, board In the matter and the manner in which its orders should be enforced Is ex pected Monday by City Solicitor Snyder and as soon as this Is received It Is expected that a meeting of the Board of Health will be called.
