"YOU CANT DO IT. "
When we'came to Omaha to intro
duce the DUKE OF DU11HAM Ci-
"arotto , some people said , "You can't
do it , " as so many others have tried
it and favlod , and the trade arc distrusted -
trusted , etc. Wo never had any doubt
that the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarette -
etto would moot with popular favor
and soil rapidly , knowing it to bo
inado of the BEST North Carolina
Tobacco , wrapped with the 3JE3T nco
paper , and ABSOLUTELY free of
DRUGS. Xfiujco , wo give consumers
credit for kntWing a good thing when
they have tried it , and then wo
thought how comfortable the fooling
( when enjoying a leisure smoke ) TO
KNO\Y'thftt you arc not absorbing
injurious drugs. _ , .
\Vo arc mutually , interested in this
matter of pure Cigarettes. If the
DUKE OF DURHAM are the PUR
EST and BEST , v of courseyou will
continue to use them : if not , you
wont. So wo concluded to call your
attention to them through the news
papers and toll you frankly all about
them , and induce you to try then ! and
then let them speak for themselves.
Wo know these are pleased who have
tried thorn , as they continue ( to buy
them'and wo aro'getting'most'tlatlor-
ing reports from dealers as well.ascon-
sinners. Wo promised more reports
from dealers yesterday , but' wo met
with one who cooled * pur arder1 tem
porarily. Guess it will bo no harm.to
toll what ho said , but wo withholclhia
iiamo , street and number.
, 'Haven't got them ; don't want
them , and shall not keep thorn. Can
buy and Cigarettes foi
50c per 1,000 less and z Cigarettes
for SI per 1,000 less than the DUKE ,
and I can retail them at same \ > rico oi
the Duke. "
Well , we have somewhat recovered ,
and since we have thought the mattci
over don't feel much worried , as he
doesn't ' Bcllmanyand | his limited Bales
will not attoct us much. Wo appre
hend that it's because ho doea not
keep the bcstbut instead tries to palm
off an inferior article at same price
that his trade is so small. With thii
exception , wo find moat of the tradt
disposed to handle the DUKE 01
DURHAM Cigarettes and Tobacci
because they ARE the NEST anc
PUREST on the market.

uro did not convsptjua-with-thcr clnin
of divine poraons sutfering' from rea
religous delusions. It was impossibli
for a person to be really insane fo
an" hour or two and then recove

Corkhill said the prosecution ha <
but ono more witness to examine ant
would like to know how many menthe
the defense mean to have.
Scoville said he intended to maki
application for the introduction o
other witnesses to testify to Guiteau'i
insAtiity near the time of the shooting
but could not toll how long the aurro
buttal would take ; * it niight take t

Davidgu said ho would oppoce re

The court said the proposition !
must bo in writing to bo considered i
law questions wore involved.
Scovillo renewed the suggestion Urn
the jury bo allowed to separate , as i
would give him time to formulate tin
law questions ho intended to submit
"Tho exports for the prosecution , " hi
said , "havo sat here for nix wceki

"lagrco with that , " cried Guituau
"I will trust to the personal honor o

dismiss the indictment. If they won'
do that , then let the jurors go homi

American people don't ' want mo hunj

Davidge said it was doubtful if thi
court could disperse the jury , anc
again objected to reopening the casi
as proposed , Ho thought a few houn
would sufllce and would enable the defense
fonso to formulate their propositions ,
"Wo don't want to reopen tin

wo want to refute your false wit

Porter agreed that the jury shouk
bo relieved from their imprisonment
as if the cose was to be prolonged in

The court said the tendency of recent

which ho had jotted down the mail

jjiado. - -It
Guiteau broke in saying the doctoi
was a high-toned gentleman anc
would undoubtedly quote correctly
If he did not he would correct tin
witness , as ho never forgot anything
Witness ( reading from his book )
I asked him on what ground hi
killed the president. His anawe
was , "I considered his removal a poi
itical necessity. My defense wilj bi
insanity. I do not claim to bo iritani
as you medical men judge of insanity
but my defense will fje legal insanity.1
I asked : "Howdo you dohni
that kind of insanity which you wil
put us your de'fenBoC- ,
His answer was'It : is insanity be
cause it is in a leg'al sense irresponsi
bility ; because it was an act withpu
malice , and from political necessity
It cannot bo called murder unles
malice is proven. I know from thi
time I conceived the act that if
could establish the fact before a jur ;
that I believed the killing of Garlieli
was inspired by God , I would not b
held responsible before the law. " ' "
"That's 3orrect , " cried Guiteau , ex
citedly "That's the law. "
"You may add this , " continued tin
witness , reading the prisoner's lun
guagc , "on this subject , that the re
spomibility lies on the Deity und no
on mo , and that in law is insanity
If the jury believe aa 1 believe that tin
removal was the act of God and there
fore not my own act , they are bount
to acquit mo on the ground of insani
ty. 1 have looked over it carefully.1
"Yes , " said the prisoner , "thatisal
there is to this case. "
The witness proceeded with IIIB re
port of the conversation in which In
referred to hw inspiration a" ) some
thing which came into his mind. Tin
prisoner admitted that ho had ti
work himself up to a proper state t <
commit the murder , and that one o
the strong points in support of his defense
fonso was hereditary on account o
his father's strange theological no
tions.
The examination of Dr. Gray lux
not concluded when the time fo
court adjournment arrived. Col
Corkhill kept on asking questions am
at 3:05 : Scovillo suggested that cour
adjourn. The district attorney salt
ho would agree to adjournment a
soon as he came to a certain point o
evidence of this witncHs. After aomi
preliminary interrogations , ho asked
"From the examination of thopris
oner , what opinion did you form o
his mental condition ? "
"My opinion was , " said the witness
"that ho . "
ness , was sane.
"Court may adjourn now ; , " aaii
Corkhill , and proceedings were ac
cordingly suspended until to-morrov
morning ,
Speaking ot the proHccutions'intcn
tions to hurry the trial this evonini
Scovillo said , "I will keep Dr. Gra ;
on the stand all day to-morrow. I di
not propose that they shall drive UH t <
the gallon B at railroad speed. "

BURNED TO DEATH.
A Little Daughter of Andrew
Hanson Suffers a Terrible -
riblo Accident.
Her Dr i n CiitclioH Fire From n Steve
und Burns Vlor Entire Body.
About eleven o'clock yesterday
noon a very serious and possibly fatal
accident occurred at the residence of
Andrew Hanson , corner of Twentieth
and Nicholas street. His daughter
Emma , aged about eleven , wao standing - ,
ing near a store when her drcsn
caught fire. The fabric being of a
light texture it blazed up ill an in
stant , and before any ono could
spring to her aid the child was envel
oped in llame.t. Frantically film
rushed out of doors and ran some dis
tance before it wan possible to over
take her.
This fanned the tire ntifl fiercer , m >
t iot when the girl's mother caught
hoi- most of the clothing had boon
burned from the child's body , and al
most her entire person had been
cruelly acorducu and burned. With
the exception of the ankles and feet ,
not u portion of the unfortunate girl's
body was untouched by the ( lames.
As quickly na possible wet blankets
were wrapped around the little suf
ferer and she was convoyed intottho
house and Dr. Moore was atronco
summoned. Every known remedy is
being used , but it is , t Wught ex
tremely doubtful if the cliHl | survives
her terrible wounds.
