The defendant walked to tho witness stund
with n llrm step. HIr faco wore an eager,

Statistics show that at no other season of

The reason for thl.H Is innarnnt. Thn Wwtv

Kprlng conies with its bright, sunshiny dovs,
older peoplo will begin to realize that their
vitality has become very low. The Fame
thing Is trtie of people who are naturally
sickly and weak.
This is tha season of tho year when even a
itiong person feels at his worst. That tired,
restless feoling is experienced by too many.
There need not be as many deaths this year
as usually take place. A little earn w ill ward
off many Spring funerals. If one is weak or
ailing they should take time hy the forelock

From many people, who hare experienced
benefit from this greatest of all llfe-Ungth-eners,
comes the following from the famous
(ieneral I.oiigstreet of 1'.'17 New Hampshire
.Ave., Washington, D. C. He says:
" It gives mo great plettmre to add my
testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's
Hcniedy, which 1 have used with highly
beiietlcal results, and I am able to recom
mend In virtues fiom experience. I hare
uml It for catarrh and have derived help."
Mr. Wellington Hynes, Klijabethtown,
N. Y., writes:
" 1 feel it my duty to tell how much good
Dr. Orecne'shervma hasdoneme, I wasso
run down that I could not sleep Bt night and
everything worried me. I had no appetite
nnd could not work, my head ached all the
tlmo and there was an all gone feoling in my

Do not go to a doctor but get a bottle of Dr.

The latter part of Mr. IlyWi advice
might be profitably disregarded, however, If

a physician, You can have such advice and

"Ilhea camo to me and says. 'Put up your

On cross-examination ho salii that ho had
lUed in Norfolk, Yankton nnd Aberdeen,
I)., and Fargo, N. I)., about six months In
each place, nnd had previously played two
seasons on the road with a theatrical
troupe. Ho admitted having been ac
quainted with the Williams nnd Armstrong
establishments slnco last summer. Ho wns
nuro he made no remarks whatever to
Znhn. He was unable to give murh of an
Recount of tho doings in thu saloon; didn't
see fiardner counting tho seven men sitting
on tho floor or ordering them around tbo
room. He started for West Point on foot
Immediately after the shooting.
Hovcral witnesses were Introduced In
Move, thnt defendant's reputation ns n
peatcable. law-abiding citizen at Norfolk
was good, l'ollceraan Knne didn't know
what his reputation was. Freight Hrakc
man W. J. Deck said It was good, but ou
cross-examination It appeared that ho
knew scarcely anything about him. A. 0.
Kberheart testified about tho same. Mr
admitted that he knew little of his as
sociates and that he was away considerable
of tho time Frank Johnson, n dry goods
elerk. knew Darrcll Intlmatelj. having
met him In Yankton, and his reputation as
n peaceful, law-abiding eltlren wns good.
An attempt was made to Impeach the tcs
tltrony of some of the state's witnesses by
proving that they testified differently at tho
Inquest, but the court ruled the questions
out.
Com let II lieu for tin Defence.
The court room was crowded this after
noon and there was a suppressed excite,
ment ns William Ithea. the man whose
punishment hns been fixed at death for thu
murder of Merman tfahn, took his seat In
the wltnesn chair. In answer to questions
by Mr. Ilutton. he told of his coming to
Snyder with Onrdner and Dnrrell, of their
drinking In Klngbaum's and Znhn's saloon
about 8:30 tho night of January '.. Tho
witness and fiardner had some words with
Orley nnd four other Snyder men In front
of Zabn's. All were angry and excited. Ho
pulled his gun and pointing It at Orley
said: "You git!" and the whole crowd
wont Into tho salon together. Darrcll waa
thero nnd witness said to him: "You git,
too, and Darrell went In with tho rest.
Znhn camo running up toward me with
his fists like this (holding his lints doubled
up In front of him) nnd I shot him In the
sldo and ho dropped to the floor,
Witness said ho noticed thn tenm standing
in front of tho saloon. Leaving, ho called
out to Darrell to stop that tcum, nnd Dar
roll repeated Ilhca's order, but failed to
stop tho horses,
Attorney Martin cross-examined Hhca at
somo length nnd ho stuck pretty closely to
his story. Ho said he had known Oardncr
for somo time nnd was quite Intimate with
him. Mo could not tell about anything
that occurred In tho saloon after tho shoot
ing. Ho claimed that he knew nothing
about tho safe or cash register, Sehwonk's
jumping from tho window, or Gnrdncr's lin
ing up the men on the floor.
finrdnrr Illil No Slioiitlnu.
Ho did not know anything about Zahn's
watch,' but ho sworo positively thnt fiard
ner loft by tho front door nnd did none of
tho shooting out In tho street. He said that
ono of the shots fired at him hit In tho Bide
nnd after ho wns struck ho fired nt partita
outside. Ho left tho saloon by tho front
door and went west. Ho did not see Oard
ncr till about 1 o'clock In the morning,
when ho came and woko up witness, wh6
was lying beside tho road betwen Crowell
and Snyder, asleep. Tho two men went
down to tho bridge ncross tho Klkhorn nnd
stayed thero until morning, then to tho
Williams place. Much of his testimony
was given In a cold, mechanical way. He
told how he shot Zahn In a cool, uncon
cerned wny.
Tho defense rested.
Tho state Introduced a few witnesses In
rebuttal, whoso testimony wns confined to
minor points and to contradicting DarrcU's
testimony that everyone was drunk, and
closed Its case.
Mr. Martin made tho opening argument
for tho state. Ho spoke for nn hour, bring
ing together tho evidence, which showed
thnt Darrell took an Important part In tho
murder, that of watching tho front and
keeping Illcyl'a team there, while tho oth
ers robbed tho placo and In doing so shot
Zahn.
J. O. Cook opened for tho defense with a
strong plen for Justice to tho defendant, de
scribing tho murder from his standpoint.
Ho nrgucd to show that Darrell had noth
ing to do with tho shooting.

A SUFFERING WIFE
Saved by tho Suggestion or a
Thoughtful Husbnnd.
A man can rarely enter Into a woman's
sufferings when they nre caused by dis
eases peculiarly feminine. Hun wheu
the character of the suffering Is graph
ically described the man cannot tippie
elato tho force of to ms for which ho has
no equivalent In bin oNperlcnco. All
ho can do Is to sympathize nud suggest.
Hut when a woman heats the story of
n woman's suffering every word has Its
Just weight with her. F.von more, sh '
reads between the linos of tho story nnd
understands the unspeakable anguish nud
dread beirotten nf rvtrpnm nnf mini,i
and weakness. No woman can read tho
sorrowfu story of suffering told below by
Mrs. MeAdoo, without heartfelt sympathy
with her condition nnd heartfelt gratitude
for her cure.
"It is with pleasure that I add my tes
timony to thnt of others, hoping It may
InducH others to nvnll themselves of tho
bonoflt of your Invaluable, medicines,"
writes Mrs. It. (5. MeAdoo, of Whiting,
Mississippi County. Missouri, "Nearly 11
year ago I was taken down with
case of sickness. I suffered untold pnlns
nnd irlserv such nn tin nnp run ,tnntlt,n
Wns confined to my bed most of the time.

they Just gavo mo something to enso mo

lll'SHAND WISKH THAN DOCTOHS.
When tho doctors pronounced his wife s
case Incurable. It was the husband who
suggested the trial of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion. It was the prompt
benefit derived from the uso
of "Fnvorlto Prescription '
that Induced the husband to
consult Dr. Pierce by letter
on his wife's behalf. Tho
result was n complete cure.
This result commonly fol
lows a fair ami faithful trial
of Dr. Pierce's Fovorlto Pre
scription. It wns made to
euro womanly diseases and It
does what it was miulo to do.
It has cured hundreds of
thousands of weak and sick
women nud cured them per
portly and permanently. A
great number of these curca
have been effected after doc
tois bad pronounced tho suf
ferer Incurable and con
demned her to n martyrdom
of misery for the term of
her natural life.
"Favorite Proscription"
establishes regularity, drlea
the drains which wenkeu
women, heals Inflammation
and ulceration and cures fe
male weakness. It cures
nervousness, headache, back
ache and other Ills which
havo their cause In unmnntv
diseases.
"I write to let you know tho great
bonoflt I hnvo received from tho uso ol
your medicines." says Mrs. Sidney II
Oakes. of Wlthnell. Plttsylvnnln Co., Va.
"I am so grateful to you for your ndvhe.
When I commenced your medicines I had
been treated by different doctors for three
months or more, but would only rccclvci
pnrtlal lellef for n short while nnd then
would bo worse than before their treat
ment. Was confined to my bed most nf tin
time. At tho time I commenced your treat
ment my left sldo was completely par
alyzed. Had nn appetite, no deslro to cat
anything; bowels costive nil the time.
Nerves wero nil unstrung, so I could not
bear tho least noise. I also suffered from
dlsensed ovaries and femnlo weakness. Hut
thanks to my Maker nnd you. after fol
lowing your advice, I nm able to do all my
washing, sewing and homo work In gen
eral. I haven't had n spasm In two
months. Left olf medicines nhout onn
month ngo. Didn't think It necessary to
contlnuo them longer. I hnvo taken Dr.
Pierce's Favorlto Prescription, '(loldcn
