LINCOLN, Aug. 2. (Special.) Slate Au
ditor Cornell today refused to Issue salary
wnrrants to the three secretaries of the
State Hoard of Transportation. The claim
were presented xn mtml on the lant day of
tho month, hut the auditor announced today
that they would he held up pending further
developments In the controversy over the
conutltutlonntlty of the railroad commission
act He fears Hint he would he- personally
responsible to the state for money paid to
the secretaries If the railroad net In de
clared Invnlld by the mate court.
Secretary G. L. Laws returned to Lincoln
today and after Hn Interview with tho audi
tor said that ho was confident the warranu
would be Issued In a few days. Auditor
Cornell refused to confirm the statement
and would not tell what his future course
concerning the claims would be. It If. proh
abla that ho will consult the attorney gen
eral ns to his responsibility, hut he may de
cide, to postpone action until after u de
cision Is rendered by tho supreme court.
Secretaries Edgcrton and Dahlmnn were
not In tho city today nnd It ! not likely
that Secretary Laws will make any vigorous
Rttempt to obtain hU salary until after they
return.
Should the auditor In? lot on holding tho
claims for the supreme court decision tho
seerotarli probably will begin mandamuo
proceedings In ono of the local courts to
compel the Issuanco of tho warrants. It Is
generally believed that the auditor refused
to approve tho claims for political effect.

It Is held by Judge Munger that the pro

holding rather than upon the valuo of the
land and while the valuo of thn
is limited to $2,000, no land not a home

In tho Powers case offered testimony of
six new witnesses .In court today and much
of tho tv,n sessions held was taken up by
tho wrangling of attorneys for both sides,
the Jury being sent out a half dozen times.
One of the features was the production by
Colonel Mengel of tho First Kentucky reg
iment of state guards of nn autograph letter
from Govomor Taylor, written January 18,
two weeks before the shooting of Goebcl, In
which he Instructed him to obey "all orders
nnd signals" given him by Adjutant General
Collier. This officer offered to explain tho
cipher messages "all right" sent out by
Collier Immediately after the shooting.
Tho defense wns overruled on two Im
portant points during tho day. Judge Can
trlll refusing to allow ono witness to relate
n conversation ho claimed to have hnd with
Wharton Golden relating to receiving pay
for testimony nnd refusing to allow an
other wHnens to read to the Jury the resolu
tions adopted hy the mountain petitioners
and which they attempted to present to tho
legislature. Tho defense expected to show
by these resolutions that the assembling of
tho petitioners was not for nn unlawful
purpose.
Rev. John Stamper, the brother-in-law of
Wharton Golden, resumed tho witness stand
today. Colonel Hendricks of tho prosocu
tlon questioned him as to tho part he took In
getting republicans from this (Scott county)
to go to tho state capital on Janunry 23.
Ho nnswered that he secured quite a num
ber.
On redirect examination bv Attorney
bims, tho witness said that too conversa
Hons ho had with Golden regarding tho
money Golden vas to receive for convic
tions were confidential, but that ho mado
them public becnuso a man's llfo was In
Jeopardy. Witness next said that ho had
never been authorized by nny one to offer
money to Golden to lenvo tho stato before
tho trial. Witness said that ho had hod
his memory refreshed since adjournment of
court yesterday and ho desired to correct
tho statement made then that his offer of
$u,000 to Golden was mado after talking with
Defendant Powers. He sqld ho hnd the
conversation with Golden beforo talking to
cowers.
Setluiek for Ilefrnse.
Tho next witness wns John O. Hnrrott of
Louisville, who had passed through the
crowd that assembled In the state house
grounds a few minutes nfter tbe shooting
of Goebel. Tho defense asked him to tell
of threats ho heard made there against tho
occupants of the executive building. The
prosecution objected nnd Judge Cnntrlll
ruled tho question out.
The defense called R. H. VcClure of
Lexington, n newspaper mt,n. Attorney
Owens nsked him if Witness Golden had
not said to him that Youtscy was a fool
for talking too much and would not get
a cent, but thnt he (Golden) had fixed It
beforo ho told his story to tho prosecution.
Attorney Williams for the prosecution ob
Jectcd.
At the conclusion of the argument Judce
Cantrlll said to the defense: "You cannot
Impeach a witness for the other side by In
ference. I sustain tho objection. "
The witness stood aside.

followed, 'Ho produced two telegrams re
ceived nt Loulsvllln on the day of tho
shooting nt 2 p. m., containing only the
words: "All right," and signed, 1. H.
Collier, ndjutant general. Also a lotter
from Collier explaining that tho words "All
right" meant for the witness to enmo to
Frankfort and bring n regiment and Cat
ling gun.
On cross-examination the prosecution
read this letter to show that Collier had
sent thn telegrams before and not after
noon. Tho witness produced orders, signed
by Governor Taylor, for tho movement of
tho regiment to Frankfort. Ho said ho
could not explain why tho order was Issued
on January IS, tho dato It bore, and not
executed until the 30th Inst. In the order
Taylor directed him to "obey all orders
nnd signals" given by Collier.
Stephen P. Sharpe, who was chairman of
tho mountain meeting held on tho steps of
tho cnpltol January 25, produced tho min
utes and resolutions of that meeting.
Heforo the jury was brought in for the
afternoon session Attorney Hrown for the
defense presented tho copy of tho resolu
tions ndoptcd nt the meeting of mountain
men and aiked that tho paper be read to
tho Jury. Passionate speeches for and
against tho admteMon of the paper ns evi
dence wore mado by Attorneys Urown and

said: .
"The paper offered as evidence Is clearly
Incompetent. You might ns well read to
the Jury 'Pope's Essay on Man.'

Tho Jury wns then brought In and Sharpe
again placed on the stand. Witnefn nalil lie
told Governor Taylor and General Collier
beforo January 30 that he had been warned
by a democratic friend to stay away from
Frankfort, ns tho porsons pushing tho gu
bernatorial contest hnd 2,000 rifles thero and
wore ready to use them. Witness was in
Governor Taylor's olllco In five minutes
after tho nhootlng. Taylor asked him to
take charge and prepare to defend the build
ing. Ho did so, giving orders not to permit
tbo arrtnt of anyone In tho cnpltol grounds.
Ho had charge of one squad of armed men
and Hcrrv Howard had chargo of another
squad.
In response to a question on cross-examination,
Sharpe said he had in substance
said to name persons on the Saturday be
foro tho shooting that ho wns ready to take
hl gun nnd olther lead or follow to prevent
tho ousting of thn republican officeholders.
"I am ready to do It now," ho said.
The witness refuses to mako public tho
name of the man whom ho quoted as saying,
"Tho contestants had 2,000 gunn at Frank
fort ready for use." On recrcus-evamina-tlou
the prosecution asked the court to com
pel tho witness to give tho numo of this
man, but Judge Cantrlll ruled that tho do
mnnd was mado too late, thnt It should have
been mado on cross-examination.
Tho second witness of the afternoon was
Colonel David Gray of Louisville, who
served as lieutenant colonel of the First
regiment, Stato Guard, In January last. He
corroborated statements of his miperlor offi

The Thurston Rides nre perfecting plans
for n sham battle and military spectacle to
be given during Ak-Pnr-Ilcn week. Severn!
different engagements have been considered
by tho committee thnt Is outlining tho
work, but It Is likely that the first conflict
of the Philippine wnr, the fight at Santa
Mesa, will bo icproduced. The Santa Mesa
camp was very picturesque, being divided
by a stream and surrounded by rich foliage.
These drtnlls will bo duplicated as nenrly
ns possible and the troops will first he
shown lying peacefully In camp. Different
camp amusements will bo entered Into by
the boys who saw so much nctlve servlie,
specialties will bo introduced nnd tho first
part of the evening's entertainment will end
with n dress parade.
Previous to tho battle an outpost will bo
thrown out. Just as was done nt Santa Mesa,
and the men will prepare for the night. A
Filipino bullet will stir tho outpost to no
tion nnd nrouso the camp. The exchange of
bullets will be hnd nnd the firing will grad
ually spread nlong the lino of battle. The
grand conclusion will be tho routing of the
Filipinos and the complete triumph of tho
Amcrlcnn troops.
Tho battle will be given for tho purposo
of raising funds for the Company L monu
ment fund. A lot In Prospect Hill cemetery
was given tho company upon tho condition
that a monument be erected there to tho
memory of the members who fell In tho
Philippine war. A small sum of money has
been raised already nnd the company hopes
to derive enough money from tho sham bat
tie to secure tho monument.

A Scene in a Sick-room
The Crises in a Woman's Life,
The average woman knows little or noth
ing concerning her own physical organism,
and ns a rule Is llttlo Informed ns to tho
care of the organs peculiarly feminine.
She Is apt to accept certain Irregularities
and diseased conditions ns almost a woman
ly necessity. Sho enters presently upon
the obligations of marriage and goes blindly
on to maternity, n condition lor which sho
Is unlit and unprepared.
Then the crisis comes.
Many a womnn dates n llfo of chronic In
validism from tho day of tha baby's birth.
She tries many doctors, many medicines,
all In vain. She Is doomed by medical
opinion to n llfo of suffering, or to speedy
dissolution.
In absolute defiance of tho average med
ical theorist, who pronounces a dlacnso to
be Incurable, Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Pre
scription has In times almost Innumerable,
restored weak women to strength nnd sick
women to health.
This great medicine for women never
falls to help and almost always cures those
who give It a fair and faithful trial.
SIX DOCTORS GAVE HER UP.
An example of tho far reaching power
of "Favorite Prescription," to heal tho
most extreme cases, Is offered In the let
ter of Mrs. Eva Rurnett glvn below. Sho
says she hnd "six of the best doctors In
the city," aud "nfter everything hnd been
done nnd I hnd been given up to dlo I
nsked my husband to get me u bottle of
Dr. Pierre's Favorite Prescription." That
bottle was tho beglnlng of a remarkable
cure.
"I have intended for Bomo time to wrlto
to you." s)-8 Mrs. Eva Rurnett, of Russell
vllle, Logan Co., Ky., "and give a testi
monial In regard to what your medlclno
has done for me. My baby camo In July,
1S99., and I had congestive chills, und lay nt
death's door for ten long weeks. I wns in
a dreadful condition, and had six of the
best doctors In tho city. After everything
had been done und I hnd been given up
to dlo I asked my hunbaud to get mo a
bottlo of Dr. Pierco's Favorlto Prescrip
tion. Ho hud no faith In It, but ho got
it, and when I had taken It two weoks I
was ablo to walk to tho dining room to
my meals; nnd by tho time I hnd taken
three bottles I was ablo to cook for my
family of four. 1 can never praise Dr.
Pierce and his medlclno enough. I havo
recommended It to allllcted Indies where
ever I possibly could. I know I would
hnve been dead had it not been for your
medicine.
"Pen cannot describe how thankful I
nm for your medlclno. I will write to
uny suffering lady that wants to know
about my rase. You can publish this letter
If you think best, for every word Is true nnd
can be proved."
Why Is It that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prserlpt Ion cures women when nil other
moans fall, when doctors say n cure Is Im
possible? ,
Hecauso "Favorite Prescription" Is n
preparation which Is the outcome of thought
and oxpcrlenco In the treatment nnd cure
of thousands nf women In tho practice of
tho Invalids' Hotel nnd Surgical Institute,
Iluffalo, N. Y of which Institution Dr.
Pierce has been for moro than thirty years
chief consulting physician nnd surgeon,
THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE.
Tho nvcrngc local practitioner has only
a limited experience in tho treatment of
womanly diseases. Often the symptoms
bafilo his experience and n sick woman 1b
treated for tho wrong disease perhaps for
months or even years. In Doctor Pierco's
wide experlenco ho treated and cured all
curable forms of womanly disease. There
are no rodltlons strange to him. In 9S
cases out of every hundred tho use of "Fav
orlto Prescription" supplemented when nec
essary by Dr. Pierce's free advice nndi coun
sel effects n perfect nnd permanent cure of
the womanly diseases for which It Is pro
scribed. It establishes regularity and dries
tho drains which wenkon womun. It hculs
Inllammatlnn nnd ulceration nnd cures fe
male weakness. It Is of marvelous bene
fit to expectant mothors, strengthening
them in every way. It cures morning sick
ness, tranquilities tho nerves, encourages
the nppetlto and induces refreshing sleep.
It makes tho boby'B ndvent practically pain
less. For nursing mothers it is tho best of
tonics, promoting tho flow of tho nutritive
secretions nnd strengthening both mother
and child.
"I had been a constant sufferer from
uterlno disease for llvo years," writes Mrs.
J. A. Steorts, of Yankee -Dam, Clay Co.,
West Vn., "anil for six months pruvlous to
taking your medicine I was not out of my
room. Could not walk or Btand, as there
was such pain nnd drawing In left side und
beiirlng-down wolght In region of uteriiB,
ucrompauled with soreness. I suffered con
stantly with headache, pain In back, should
ers, nrms and chest; hnd palpitation, nerv
ous prostration, constipation, dizziness,
ringing In oars; could not sleep, nnd breath
ing was so dltllcult at times I could nnt
llo down. WordB fnll to describe my suf
ferings when I wroto to you for advice.
In a short time I received a kind letter
from you, tolling mo I would bo gioatly
benefitted, if not entirely cured, by tho use
of Dr. Plerco'R Favorlto Prescription. When
I hud tuken nne bottle of the 'Prescription,'
togother with Dr. Pierco's Pellets und tho
local treatment which you advised, I could
walk (with tho support of a eano), thn draw
ing and pain In sldo and bearing-down
weight were not so bad, nnd when I had
ta'-en three bottles of tho medlclno men
struation wns regulated, I wob not to nerv
ous; could sleep well, and tho pain In sldo
and bearing-down had vanished. I have
tuken six bottles nf 'Favorite Prescription,'
two of 'Goldsn Medical Discovery' and four
vials of 'Pellets,' and my health Is better
at this time than It has been In live years."
DO NOT DESPAIR.
No woman, who bus not yet tried Dr.
Plcrro's Favorite Prescription need despair
of the recovery of her health, by tho fnlth
fill use of this wonderful medlclno for wom
en The fact that It hns cured In thousands
of to-called hopeUhs casus, is un encourage-
3
f
ment to every woman however dlsrourtgeA,
'o make one strugulo for health and happi
ness. Tho common expression, "It hat tiiarto
a nw woman of me," suggests tho com
plete change which Is brought about by
"Favorite Prescription." It is disease of
the delicate womanly organism which un
dermines the general health. The eye loses
brightness, the check grows hollow and
snllow. and the form falls away. When ths
womanly diseases nre cured by tho us of
"Favorlto Prescription." tho wholo body
shows the cure, In sparkling eyes, glowing
checks and rounded form.
"I am very glad to let other poor suf
ferers know what Dr. Pierce's medicines
' havo done for mo," writes Mrs. Edwin H.
Gardner, of Ilecchwood, Norfolk Co., Mass.,
Hox 70. "You know I wroto to you last
summer. I read what your medietas had
done for other people, so thought 1 would
try It, nnd I found that It wns a blessing
to mo nnd my family. I began In June nnd
took six bottles of your medicine, nnd three
vials of 'Pellets." I took your medicine,
a year when I bad a ten pound girl. I had
tho easiest time 1 ever had with any of my
three children. I have been very well slnco
I took your medicine. I took thrco bottles
of 'Favorlto Prescription,' threo of Golden
Medical Discovery,' nnd threo vials of 'Pel
lets.' I had no appetite nnd could not cat
much without It distressing mo beforo I
took your 'Favoilte Prescription., nnd I only
weighed 13,ri pounds. Now I weigh 17G."
Sick nnd ailing women aro Invited to con
sult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free of chargo,
and so obtain without cost tho opinion nnd
ndvlce of a specialist on diseases peculiar
to women. Dr. Pierce, ns chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel aud Surgi
cal Institute. Iluffalo, N. Y has associated
with him a stnff of nearly a scoro of physi
cians, each man a specialist in his own Mold
of medical resenrch and practice. Tho ser
vices of this great medical staff nro freely
placed at tho disposal of those who consult
Dr. Plerco by letter.
Thcro Is no similar offer of freo mcdlcnl
advlco which has behind It n similar Insti
tution or ft physician nnd medical staff so
noted for success in the treatment and euro
of diseases peculiar to women.
Do not dolay If you nro sick, but ivrlto
without fenr us without feo to Dr. H. V.
Pierce. Iluffalo. N. Y. All correspondence
Is held in sacred confldenco nnd womanly
confidences nro guarded by strict profes
sional prlvocy.
"Favorlto Prescription" contains no al
cohol nnd Is absolutely freo from opium,
cocalno nnd nil othor nnrcotlcs. It Is a
purely vegetnblo preparation and cannot
disagree with tho most dellcnto constitution.
Tho success of Dr. Plorco's Favorite Pre
scription hns led to tho ntempt by some
dealers to substitute a less meritorious
mdlclno us "Just ns good." Thero Is n
llttlo moro profit in n substitute for tho
denier, but It Is nn absolute loss for tho
customer who seeks tho euro of disease.

Loyalty to Anierlen.
A good story is told of Mrs. Frye, wlfo
of Senator William P. Frye of Mnlne, which
occurred during tho sittings of tho peace
commission In parls, says u writer In th
Washington Mirror. Mrs. Frye had not long
been in France until sho manifested nn In
tense dlwllke to everything In and ubout
Paris. She found fault with tho hotols, tho
cafes, the shops, tho carriages, tho manner
In which tho city Is built, Its municipal gov
ernment, the construction of the streets,
the people nnd, In fact, nearly everything.
Mrs. Frye wns so intensely American that
sho would not yield n slnglo point In favor
of Franco against her nntlvo country.
On nn nfternoon, while n party of tho
peaco commission wns driving through somo
of the mngiilflcunt boulevards, Mr. White
law Held being Mrs. Frye's seat companion
on the Journey Mr. Reld had II veil in Paris
alinoot four years ns tho Amoricnn minis
ter, having been appointed hy President
Harrison Mr. Rtld was pointing nut to
Mrs. Fryo many of tho beauties of Paris,
to which she would Invnrlably reply: "Oh,
wo havo the sanio thing In Maine." Mr. Rnld
was somuwhat particular In directing Mrs.
Frye's attention to the French method of
constructing boulevards nnd beautifying
thorn, but ho was met with her ununl re
ply. "Oh, we have tho sumo thing In Malnn1"
No mutter to nhut Mr. Held referred,
olther In architecture, beautiful street dec
orations, perfect municipal government or
nnythlng else, the charming wlfo of tho
Malno senator repeatedly Inslstod thnt thay
hud tho samo things In Mulne. On a fol
lowing day another drive was proposed,
Mr. Reld being of tho party, when hn was
heard to remark that ho hoped he might
huvo a companion who waB not so enthu
siastic nbout Mulne.
