this afternoon sentenced to Imprisonment
for life.
At 4: IS Gardner vn brought Into the

face wni white nnd waxen, with dark circles
tinder his even,
"Have you anything to say why sentence
should not hn pronounced upon you?" nskel
Judgo OrlmlRoti.
"No, sir," was his reply. In a voice In
dicating deep emotion.
In delivering the sentence, the Judgo re
ferred to lh atrocity of the rrlmo and tho
part which the evidence showed Gardner
look In It, stepping ocr tho body of Zahn
lying on tbo floor In tho agonies of death,
and with his loaded revolver holding tho
men In the. s;.loon olf while the robbery
wan being completed, the shooting at others
as ho innde his eserpe from the building.
All this showed that ho vas equally guilty
with bis associate. Hhca, who fired the
fatal shot.
l,ll'U nt In llr lliinunl.
He rpoke nUo of the convincing charac
ter of the evidence, and tho cold, brutal
character of a man who could do im he did
after the shot was fired, which actions
Mere so utterly Ht variance with the evi
dence ho had Introduced In his defense.
In conclusion, tho Judgo said: "You can
consider yourself very fortunate that your
life does not pay the- penalty of your
crime. The hentencn of the court is
that, you be confined In the Mate peniten
tiary during your natural life, no part of
the time to be In solitary confinement."
Gardner mood at tho end of the. table,
leaning forward against It, while tho sen
tence whs being pronounced. As Judge
Orlmlron began to speak of tho clrriim
Mances of tho crime his face blushed, anil
ns the court In clear, strong tones told
how defendant stepped over the body of
Zahn his faco turned a deep red. His
limbs t.-rmHcd and his lands shook. Ills
eyes, which had been fixed on those of tho
Judge, were downcast. At tho close he
sat down heavily In his chair, his eyes
still on the floor, niit constant tremors
running through his hands and arms, which
mado the chain rattle as the olllcer fast
ened the Irons around his wrist.
With an effort hn put on his hat and
walked out of tho loom, with an apparent
fttemp to control his feelings.

KHK.MONT, Neb, March 5.Speclnl.)
Tho trial of William Darrell, the third of
tho men charged with the murder of Her
man Zahn at Snyder (he night of January
i, was begun In the district court lhl3
morning. Tho defendant has lost llesh since
his arrest and his faco wears tho prison
pallor. Tho trials nnd Bpeedy convictions
of his two associates have naturally ninde
him anxious ns to the outcomn of his own
case, though both himself nnd his attor
neys feel confident of his acquittal unless
County Attorney HiIiihoii has some strong
evldonro not brought out In the other trials,
lie consults frequently with his attorneys, l
W. Hutton and J. C. Cook, looks around at
upectntors and pcoplo within the bar as
though nwaro hn was tho center of attrac
tion, but most of tho tlmo pays closo atten
tion to tho examination of Jurors. Ho wears
h good-dttlng black suit, colored shirt and
collar nnd black bnnd nccktln nnd Is fresfily
shaven. His general appearance Is that
of tho gambler Instead of tho desperato
criminal.
Tho work of selecting a Jury progressed
moro rapidly than In either of thu two
other trials. Many who had rend tho evi
dence as published In tho papers slnted
they havo no opinion as to his guilt or In
norence. .lurj- In Ni'iMirril.
Much to tho surprlso of every one a Jury
was secured at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Only thirty men were examined and but
hix of tho defendant's peremptory chal
lenges were used. These nra the Jurymen:
1., W. Stewart, carpenter, Fremont, na
tionality, American: U, G. Hrugh, retired
farmer, Fremont, Anierlcnn; John Ilrennau,
farmer, Union. Irish; Hugh Robertson, re

G. G. Martin made tho opening address to
tho Jury for tho state. He stated briefly
uhnt tho state would seek to prove as
showing that tho defendant aided nnd
sbettod William Ithcn In tho killing of
Zahn and tho robbery of the saloon the
night of January 4.
F. W. Hutton opened tho caso for the
defense. Ho sold tho evldcnco would show
that while tho defendant was In Snyder
tho night of the shooting nnd In company
with Gardner nnd Hhca during tho afternoon
the evidence would foil to show that ho
had anything to do with the shooting or
robbery; that Instead of participating In It,
ho was obliged to hold up his hands with
the others, did not havo n gun on that
night, nnd had nothing to do with the
(hooting.

tion to consolidate tho Dnkotas Into one
revenue collection district. This matter
hns been pending for some time, and It has
the indorsement of Senators Gamble and
Kylu and Representative Durkc. It Is under
stood that Commissioner Yerkes' opinion
will be adverse to consolidation. The policy
of tho bureau Is to diminish rather than In

and It Is hold that tho receipts of tiiu
Dnkotas do not Justify their consolidation
Into one district.

CATARRH THIRTY YEARS.
A Remarkable Experience of a Prominent
Statesman.
CONGRESSMAN iMEEKISON GIVES PERUNA
HIGH ENDORSEMENT.
COMtKSSMAN MKKKISON. OF OHIO.
Hon. David Meeklson Is well known, not only In his own state, but throughout
America. He begnn his political career by Bcrvlng four consecutive terms ns Mnyor
of the town In which ho lives, during which tlmo' ho bcrnmo widely known ns tho
founder of tho Meeklson Hank of Napoleon, Ohio. Ho was elected to tho Fifty-fifth
Congress by a very largo majority, and Is thu acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the state.
Only ono flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising stntesmnn. Ca
tarrh with Its Insidious approach nnd tenacious grasp, was his only unconqucred
foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful wnrfaro against this personal enemy.
At Inst Perunn came to the rescue, and he dictated tho following letter to Dr. Hart
man ns the result. :
"I hnvo useJ several bottles of I'crtitin and feel greatly ben
cfitted thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel cncotirgcd to
believe that if 1 uie it a short time longer I will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing." David Meeklson,
.Member of Congress.

Many people can tolerate slight catarrhal
affections. A llttlo hoarseness, a slight
cough, a cold In tho head, or a trilling de-
rnngement of tho digestive organs, do not
much disturb tho average person In his
business.
Hut this is not true of the public speaker
or stage artist. His voice must nlways be
clear, lungs perfect, dlgestlou undisturbed.
Hence tho popularity of Perunn among tho
leading nctors and actresses of this country.
They have como to regard Perunn as in
dispensable to their success. Their profes
sion Is bo exacting thnt It requires perfect
health in every particular. They regard
Poruna ns their friend nnd safeguard.
Many letters are recolved from this class
of people. Miss Cnrrlc Thomas, a promi
nent actress of New York City, In speaking
of Perunn, says: "I have used Perun.i
with splendid results. Would not bo with
out it. No money would biro mo to have a
settled cold or chronic cough or hoarse
ness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing
that could happen to one of my profession.
Pcruna Is my shield and protector ngalnst
this most undcslrablo disease. "Carrlo
Thomas. j
Tho Feuson of catching cold Is upon us.
Tho cough and tho sneeze and tho unsiil ;
twang Is to be heard on every hand. Tho ,
origin of chronic catarrh, the most common
and dreadful of chronic diseases. Is a cold. I
This Is the way tho chronic catarrh gen-
orally begins. A person rntches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. Tho cold gen- j
orally starts In tho head and throat. Thn
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which Incllno ono to catch cold very easily.
At last tho porson has a cold nil tho whllo
seemingly, moro or less discharge from
tho nose, hnwklng, spitting, frequent clear
ing of tho throat, nostrils stopped up, full
feeling in tho head, nnd soro Inflamed
throat.
The best tlmo to treat catarrh Is at tho
very beginning. A bottlo of Pcruna prop
erly used, novor falls to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pe
runa, yet. as a rule when tho catarrh be
comes thoroughly fixed moro than ono bot
tle ds necessary to complete it cure. Pcruna
hns cured rases Innumerable of catarrh of
twenty years' standing. It is the best, !f
not only Internal remedy for chronic ca
tarrh In existence.
Hut prevention Is far better than cure.
Gvcry person subject to catching cold
i Bhould take Pcruna nt once at the slightest
symptom of cold or soro throat nt this
season of tho year and thus prevent what
Is almost certain to end In chronic catarrh.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac
tory results from tho ubo of Peruna, wrlto
nt once to Dr. Hnrtman, giving a full state
ment of your caso nnd he will bo pleased
