P. A. Gavin , the "promoter" of the suit
club by which several Council Bluffs people
put up their good cash for bad promises , was
brought Into police court yesterday morning
for a trial on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. According to the sug
gestion of Judge McGee , made several days
ago. the charge was changed to that of making
and establishing a lottery. The testimony
showed that Gavin came here In 1S90 and
started a suit club , each member of which
was to pay $1 for a chance In a weekly drawIng -
Ing , the lucky man to get a suit of clothes
free of extra charge. After the scheme had
been In operation several months and W. H.
Mather and Freeman McArdle. among others ,
bad paid In about $20 each , Gavin suddenly
dlsappsared , and with him all the cash that
bad been paid In. So far as can be learned
no one over received a suit. The case was
continued until Monday for further testimony.
Another Information was filed yesterday
afternoon In Justice VIen'k court growing out
of the same transaction , and J. J. Sullivan ,
another victim. Is the prosecuting witness.
The case Is. to bo heard Monday morning at

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
riswold Bank Bobbers Mnlco Little Dc-
fcnso Before the Jury ,
IL THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN SUBMITTED
ovcrnmcnt Mttkcft Out n Strong Clrcmii-
tnntlnl Cnto AgnlnntVIUon and
biultlillctnlU ni I'nrnUheil
by Mnnjr Wltnriie * .
The. conviction of Wilson and Smith , the
Orlswold bank robbers , Is as near settled as
t can be until the Jury brings In Its verdict ,
'ho government has made one of the strong-
st cases ever prosecuted In this city. There
ave been numberless little circumstances ,
pparently of not much Importance by them-
elves , which dovetail Into one another and
( together go to make up a tremendous
velght of evidence against the accused. The
ock and chain with which the valise of
urglars' tools found at the Kell hotel In the
> ossesslon of the accused was secured has
> ecn Identified by Cole & Cole as having
icen bought there the day before the robbery
vas committed. The accused bought some
oap at Atlantic the day before the robbery.
Soap was found smeared upon the safe and
n the cdgo of a knife blade In the pocket
f one of the men on the day he was cap-
urcd. And so on through a long list of clr-
umstantlal evidence.
OIHccrs Hanley nnd Meyers of Chicago told
f the capture of Jack Davis , a notorious
Chicago crook , with a valise In his possession
vhlch he was carrying from the express office
o his saloon at 107 South Water street.
Vhen opened It was found to contain $600
vorth of stamps which hud been sent him
he day before by Wilson , one of the do-
endants. The valise was fully Identified by
ho express ag'nt. The stamps made a large
Ized bundle as they were emptied out on a
able In the court room and Identified by the
> ostmaster nt Grlswold.
A. 11. Hooker , deputy sheriff of this county ,
[ escribed his meeting with the robbers and
ils unsuccessful target practice at them.
) fllcer Weir detailed the capture of Wilson
nd said that the weapon found In his pocket
ontained three empty shells and two loads ,
vhllo Its appearance Indicated that It had
> een recently discharged.
Sheriff Hazen testified that he had $ CO In
nickels , dunes and currency , a grip contain
ng burglars' tools , three overcoats and a re-
olver belonging to the men. The overcoats
vero turned over to him by Dick Hoist , the
iroprletor of the Kell hotel. One of the coat
lockets contained some white powder , which
vas not examined very closely , and a paper
unnel. The valise contained two sticks of
giant powder , which were laid peacefully to
est In a hole In the Jail yard. Then there
vas a , rubber syringe containing about a
pint of liquid , but what the liquid was he
did not know , for he had not tried It to see
vhether It would explode.
C. G. Peterson , the county Jailer , told how
10 opened the valise and took out the bur
glars' tools.
Colonel Dalley , who represented the de-
endants , did but very little cross-examining
of any of the witnesses , nor did he Introduce
any testimony In behalf of his clients. When
he government rested he did the same thing.
t Is hardly likely that any arguments will
> e made by either side , and the Judge's In-
tructlons will bo given to the Jury early Mon
day. The theory of outsiders Is that the
reason the accused did not plead guilty In
stead of making so flimsy an attempt at a
lefcnse Is that If they pleaded guilty they
vould stand a very poor show In the trial
vhich will be undoubtedly forthcoming at
Grlswold as soon , as their sentences for this
crlmo shall have been completed. Five years
s the maximum penalty for the offense for
which they have Just been charged , and there
s not much doubt of their getting the whole
of It. A good deal may happen In flve years ;
some of the witnesses may die" off and others
may forget , nnd the fellows stand some show
if getting no punishment beyond what Judge
Woolson may give them this week.

call your attention to an article In The Bee
of yesterday morning headed "A Triple Al-

this matter , wo want to say to you that Coun
ell Bluffs has not entered an alliance with

merely looking after their own Interest , to
the end that their side of the question may
be presented and that Justice may bo done
all.

tion , The parts will be Interspersed with
excellent music , and at the close the judges
will render their decision. The merits of
the orations and speeches In debate will be
judged upon thought , composition and deliv
ery , while the declamation will , of course ,
be judged upon delivery alone.

event , In which the High school pupils of
the two upper classes will take deep Inter
est , and will consequently experience great

DES MOINES , April 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Cora Smith , or McCamly , surprised
the court nnd spectators this morning by
pleading guilty to the murder of her step
father , Michael Smith. Before appearing In
court she announced to her attorney that
she had fully made up her mind to plead
guilty. She will bo sentenced next week ,
probably to life servitude. It Is said that
her confession that she murdered her
father will have no legal effect upon the
sentence Imposed upon her mother , since she
stands convicted of murder In the tlrst de
gree , and can only secure a pardon by a
majority vote of the ; , legislature , the gov
ernor havingno authority to extend execu
tive clemency In such cases.

Every person needs a good spring medl-
Ine nt this senpon of the year to prepare
he system for the severe chnnge from win-
er to spring.
The newspapers nre constantly filled with
ulvertlscments of patent medicines thnt
have varying virtues with varying sea-
ons. Always the smite medicine. In
ne season they are advertised to cure
liemnntlsm ; In another , cnturrh ; In nn-
incr Urlght's disease or nervous prostm-
lon. Just now nil of them are beingml -
'ertlsed as "spring medicines , " nnd are
alleged tobe the great cure for "the
blood. "
Any one with half nn eye can sec the
absurdity of these claims for medicines
mnde nftcr one formula In tnnks or vnts ,
and any physician knows what danger-
even greater than disease Itself lies In
he Introduction Into the stomach of n mln-
cellnneaus lot of drugs applied without
irofcsslonnl advice.
There are hundreds of these "spring mcd-
cities" In the market , but they nre tabooed
by reputable physicians and there sule Is
low being- made a criminal offense In t-onio
tales , ns they contain arsenic , chloral or
opium , or other deadly Ingredients.
Thousands of people me buying patent
ncdlclnes nt random , In a reckless attempt
o give to the system the medical assist
ance It requires.
In view of the fact that a pure , profes
sionally prepared and administered spring-
onlc Is benellclnl to everyone nt this season
of the year , Urs. Copelntul and Shepnrd
ircpare and give to every patient nt this
season their standard prescription for the
Iver. blood and kidneys in addition to their
regular treatment.
This preparation Is especially requisite , for
hose who have suffered from the grip , In-
iuenza or other winter maladies to aid the
general catnrrlml treatment to get the
> olson out of the blood. It removes all nc-
ctimulated poisons from the system , Im-
iroves the circulation , enriches the blood
tnd strengthens the liver and kidneys , ns
veil ns all the other vital organs of the
body. At this time of the year no medi
cine could be more benellclnl or more ex
actly In the line of their regular treatment.

"When nn Invalid from a debilitating

vas soon made happy by a complete cure.
Our applying for treatment was a last re

of recovery , the danger being from the In

"Some ycnrs ago , while a member of the
fire department of n Nebraska town , I
took n terrible cold that hung right on un
til It became a lingering catarrh. My nose
and throat became sore , irritable and
"stuffy. " The sense of taste and smell
left me. I could not even smell ammonia ,
"Later , headaches cnme on. I felt dull
and , on stooping , would get so dizzy thnt
I could Imrdly keep from falling. 1 seemed
to be robbed of all life and good feeling
and never felt like myself. As the catarrh
got down In my stomach I felt my appe
tite go , too , and I soon lost fifteen pounds by
the scales.
"I knew nil this was wrong , for I was a
young man with healthy parents , nnd I
felt that I ought to ( Ind a cure. After tryIng -
Ing doctors who seemed not to understand
my case , I went to Dr. Sheparcl , who nt
once took from my nose several catarrh
tumors or polypi- The relief was wonder
ful. I could breathe once more. The
doctor then placed me upon local and In
ternal treatment that promptly resulted In
my cure. I am well now , with all my
senses intnct. Catnrrhnl disease Is a pow
erful enemy of mankind , ns I know from
sad experience.
