Plant Total Loss An alarm of flro sent in from the Omaha Scrap Paper company, Eigh teenth ndl Marcy streets, caused the local fire department to make a record run to the place, where they found the entire building enveloped in flames and it was only after considerable time had been spent in hard fighting that they succeeded in getting the fire under con trol. The blaxe alarted in a pile of baled paper in the' rear of the building and spread rapidly to the baling room, where It encountered a largo pile of loose paper and rags. The flames aoon ate their way through the roof of the building, the covering of which contained pitch, which fled the flames. H The origin of the firs is unknown as yet. The' building is a total loss, as well as all its contents. The damage is estl- I hated at close to 35.000, and Is partially covered by insurance. The building was a frame structure, one story in height, surrounded by a fire wall, which helped to keep the fire from spreading to near by buildings and cars.

A witness room, like an oceanllner, begets stranget friendships in Its en forced intimacy, and also has this In common with the great ships, that those who come on deck only toward the close of a stormy passage, find themselves unreasonably ostracized by their fellow passengers who have been dally shar ing the excltoment of the voyage. Thus l"c ' " .

NThe trio thcmselvee were oddly con- glomerate a burly man In what were obviously his best clothes, with a col lar a slse too small and a buxom woman whose flushed face looked out from under a marvelous purple bonnet. Her hands were encased In very large white cotton gloves and she held back her skirts aggressively from contact with) the short and elaborate gown of the over-dressed, tired-looking woman whose face was pasty with powder and hard with rouge. AH of the witnesses, for that matter, from the little beel-hop to Mrs. Pago herself, surveyed thi last oomer with disapproval; and Amy declared auc clnctly, that if "Mr. Langdon put that on the -witness stand it would bo good night!" Langdon, however, greeted her with a warmth that more than overbalanced their chilliness, and his welcome to the other man and woman waa equally en thusiastic. To him, the presence of these three was a triumph. It meant that he had succeeded where the police had failed, and that he had still another sur prise to spring upon the Jury in this most astounding trial. Some hint of all this crept into his tone lending it a new, almost boyish note, when, at the beginning of the day's proceedings, he rose and- said: "Your Honor and Uentlemen of the Jury: Ever since the beginning 01 tnis trial one point has remained a mystery. The state has admitted its Inability to offer evidence on this mooted subject, and, therefore, I crave the indulgence of the court to digress from direct pro ceedings this morning, to show yoii where and how Mary Page spent those hours between the death of David Pol lock and her surrender to the law on the following morning"' 1 "What!" The startled exclamation wns wrung Involuntarily from the district at torney as he half rose from his chair, but it was drowned In the stir of ex citement that swept through the entire room. For this had Indeed been a mooted question and a decidedly sore point with the prosecutor the whereabouts of Mary during those hours immediately following the murder. "Miss Page," continued Landgon when the Judge'a gavel had restored order, "did not herself know exactly what was happening. Aa always follows an attack of repressed psychosis, the mind of the sufferer was like that of a patient com ing out of ether a flash of recollection and a stretch of blank unconsciousness; therefore, it is not until now that I have succeeded in piecing together the story of that night, and I shall call as my first witness, Kate O'Neill!" Kate proved to be the buxom woman in the purple bonnet who gave her age as "round about 35" and her occupation aa "a cook, and a good one," to the delighted amusement of the spectators.

And it's but two doors awsy, and what wid the dancln' and the musio goln' on there, and the phonygraph at the club back, 'tis never a quiet moment we had the whole night through," "But your duties at tho boarding house kept you up pretty late, anyway, didn't they?"

"I know you told me, but I want you to tell the court. Y'ou had a friend who was watchman for the block, didn't you? Denny by name." "He was not me friend, he wag me finance!" ahe responded with dignity. "And some nights when It would be cold, and I had made mysel' a sup of hot tea or maybe coffee, I would take a bit out to Denny. It's weary work watching houses In tho dark." "Of course, your mistress knew nothing of this?" "Sure, and what would i tell that ould I snoopln' devil for? It weren't none of her business!" "On tho night when David Pollock was shot in the Hotel Republic, you had been tip late, had you not?" "Yes, sor.

Avoid All Meat if Kidneys and Bladder Bother 1 Uric Acid in meat excites Kid neys and irritates the. ' Bladder. Take Salts at first sign of Bladder weakness or Kidney-Backache. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass It on to the bladder, where , It often remains to Irritate and Inflame, causing a burning, seal ting sen sation, or setting up an Irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek: relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is In constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scald- j Ing sensation and is very profuse; again there Is difficulty in avoiding It, Bladder weakness, most folks call It, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and some times very painful, this Is really one of the most simple aliments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralise the acids In the urine so It no longer is a source of Irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which, then act normally again. Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and ta used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by urlo acid irritation. Jad Salts Is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent llthla-water drink which quickly relieves bladder trouble.
