contest was for the position of secretary
and Bam Karpf of Dayton, the present In
cumbent, was re-elected over A. L. Lang
try of Milwaukee by a vote of 39 to 29.
Langtry'a friends charge that many of the
Milwaukee man's supporters were told the

that had it not been for this Karpf would

there was many absentees.

In theall of 1895 I contracted that fear
ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such
headway that I was compelled to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs,
After spending all the means I had I went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks I
was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
Buffering I was discharged as cured. In
less than a month every bone in my body
see tried to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
I was compelled to resign, and I returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When I came out I was advised to try
farming. When I first went on the farm I
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.
5. At that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and I was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S.
6. S. for me and I began its use, and after
taking the thirteenth bottle not a sore or
boil was visible. R. B. Powezju

Of all human diseases, Contagious Blood
Poison is the most hideous and hateful.
The victim is tortured with eating ulcers,
sores and abscesses, unsightly blotches,
eruptions and other symptoms of the mis
erable disease. S. S. S. has been used
successfully for nearly fifty years for
Contagious Blood
Poison. It con
tains no mercury,
potash or other
mineral. Our home

WHISKY IN TI1E BULL PENS
Indians Tell in Court of Transastiom with
Homer Saloon Keepers.
NATURE OF LIQUOR SOLD ESTABLISHED
Considerable Effort on Part of At
torneys and Coart Required to
Draw Ont the Fact from
One Witness.
The fourth day of the saloon conspiracy
case was resumed yesterday morning before
Judge Munger In tne United States dis
trict court with the examination of John
Layman, a Wlnneb&o Indian, as the first
witness. His testimony was general in its
character, bear'ng upon his Visits to the
bull pen back of the Lulkhart and Ennls
saloons during the years 1903 and 1904 and of
his purchase of liquor from Bootlegger Orr,
He was followed by George Boyd, another
Winnebago Indian, who testified similarly.
The third witness was Charles Raymond,
a Winnebago, aged 22 years, a half-blood.
His testimony was In gem-ral like that' of
the two preceding witnesses. Orr had
told him that if he would buy his liquor
through him, Orr, that it would help him
along In the way of commissions. He had
frequently bought whisky of Orr and of
Featherlegs and other bootleggers. An
effort was made by the defense to have
proof furnished by the government that the
liquor alleged to have been purchased by
this witness was whisky. The question was
put In a general way by the attorney for
the government, but the witness either did
not understand or did not give the requisite
satisfactory answer. The court then un
dertook to put the question, but with no
greater success, and finally gave the matter
up, saying to the government attorneys:
It's too much for me; you may take the
witness." It was finally drawn out of the
witness that whisky was the liquor pur
chased.
Prices Varied Considerably.
Philip Long a Winnebago, testified along
like lines, to the effect that he had bought
liquor of Orr In the bull pens back of the
defendant's saloons, paying different prices
for it, running from 60 to 60 cents per
pint up to T for half a gallon. He fre
quently saw Lulkhart In the back room
of the saloon, where the whisky was kept
In barrels
Harrlnn. St Cyr, a former Winnebago
and clerk of the Winnebago agency store,
knew that Orr had furnished liquor to
Indians in the bull pens back of defendant's
saloons. The Indians were always hunting
for a man to buy liquor for them. Feather
legs and Orr were generally available for
this work. Witness had bought liquor
over the bar at Ennia saloon. He had
B-en many' Indians buy liquor In the bull
pens, and added, "It would take all day
to name the Indians who s Jt liquor."
Thomas La mere, Peter Simpson and Tay
lor Hullan were other Winnebago Indian
witnesses who testified similarly to those
preceding.
Alva Snyder, a white man, knew of Orr's
bootlegging work and had seen him take
liquor out to the Indiana from the saloons
Into the bull pens. He had frequently seen
both Lulkhart and Ennls in the little
whisky room, while Orr was In there, and
had seen them give Orr whlaky which he
afterwards took out to his Indian custom
ers. He also knew and saw Featherlegs
do the bootlegging act frequently.
Hotel Man Tells of Orftles.
The -first witness of Tuesday afternoon's
session of the saloon conspiracy trial In
the United States district court was George
Brassfield. a hotel proprietor and livery
man of Homer. He testified as to th
drunken orgies among the. Indian's In the
bull pens In the rear of the saloons, and
the ease with which the Indians procured
whisky from the bootleggers. He saw
Frank- Orr in the saloon of the defendants
Lulkhart and Ennls, several times and saw
Orr pay them money at the bar, and that
he would receive some of the money back
and put it into his pocket, then get the
liquor and take it out back to the bull
pen.. Witness had frequently hauled
drunken Indians to their homes and had
seen them have whisky that they had
bought In Homer.
John Cain testified that he had seen Orr
buy whisky of the defendants and carry
it back to the bull pen and turn it over
to the Indians.
The star witness of the afternoon was
Alonzo Shaw, the notorious "Featherlegs,"
who had been brought over from the
county Jail to testify.
Summers Objects Strongly.
Mr. Summers objected to the testimony
of this witness in this case on the ground
that the witness "was arrested for selling
liquor to Indians; that he was arrested on
September 14, 1904, for this offense, and was
Indicted by the federal grand Jury In the
November following, and that he had
pleaded guilty to the indictment and had
not as yet been sentenced, and was for
this reason an Incompetent witness."
Judge Munger overruled the objections,
and the witness was permitted to testify.
His iestlmony was In effect that he knew
Frank Orr and had seen him procure
liquor from the little back rooms of the
saloons in question and take it out to the
Indians In the bull pens. He had seen
both Lulkhart and Ennls hand liquor in
bottles and Jugs to Orr, that he Immedi
ately took out and gave to the Indians.
He also saw Orr give money to both Lulk
hart and Ennls, and they would give him
back his "rake off." Orr worked there
about a month, went away and came back.
He knew of the agreement between the
defendants and Orr relative to the com
missions he was to receive for what liquor
he could sell to the Indians. Lulkhart
asked witness to take Orr's place on the
same terms when Orr went away, and he
did so. He was to receive 65 cents for
each gallon, 20 cents for each quart and
10 cents for each pint of whisky and 6
cents for each bottle of beer he sold to
the Indians, the Bales to be made In the
bull pen. "I told Lulkhart I would do It,
and I did do it."
Witness saw both Ennls and Lulkhart
draw liquor out of the barrels and put it
Into Jugs and bottles, and this was the
liquor that was sold to the Indians. The In
dians bought whisky and beer from the wit
ness frequently. He had also at other
times seen Ennls draw liquor at the bar for
bootleggers- and give it to them, for which
they would pay, and then Ennls would pay
them their commissions back.
Baxter Demands Letters.
District Attorney Baxter stated that he
knew that the defendants Lulkhart snd
Ennls had In their possession at this time
letters written to them by Featherlegs, and
asked that the letters be produced in court.
Judge Munger stated that he questioned
the propriety of demanding the production
of these letters at this time, as he was of
the opinion that it would Involve a tangle
that might prejudice the case.
The dlrtrlrt attorney thereupon did not
press his demand for the production of the
letters.
The last witness of the afternoon was H.
O. Wilson, superintendent and disbursing
agent of the Winnebago reservation. His
testimony was simply to establish the
tribal relations of the witnesses Grayhalr,
Decor aii, Joe Johnson, ' Prosper Armell,
James Yellowback and Henry Hardin, who
ho testified were Winnebago Indians and
allotees.
A recess was then taken until t o'clock
Thursday morning.

Keeps you from growing; old by
keeping up your vital forces. When

cline and decay, the blood becomes
thin and watery, the circulation poor,
and the nerve forces shattered and
weak, enowlng- that certain esentlat
elements of life are belns; exhausted
from tho blood and nerves. The ex
haustion usually begins with cold nnd
numb hands and feet. The stomach,
bowels and bladder lose their power,
often becoming partially. If not
wholly, paralyzed. You grow weak
and feeble and your vital forces so
low that you begin to see that your
health Is being undermined. Hr.
Chase's Blood and Nerve Food in
creases tho action of the heart and
the circulation of the blood, and
builds up the system by replacing the
same substances to the blood and
nerves that have been worn out.

Young; Farmer Disappears.
BBWARD, Neb., Feb. 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Ellas Knight, a young farmer liv
ing a few miles north of here, has caused
a good deal of excitement by suddenly
leaving town without letting his where
abouts be known. He lately had a sale
of his farm effects and realised but little
from the sale, which seemed to depress him
very much. He had a contract for a piece
of farm land near Kearney, and before he
left he sent word to his wife that he had
a chance to sell this contract and would
go to Lincoln to do so. Kearney parties
concerned say they had no plana to meet
him at Lincoln. He disappeared- last Fri
day and his family have communicated
with the police of Lincoln and Omaha, but
they have not gained any knowledge of
him. The general theory Is that he was
demented. He belonged to several lodges,
which are endeavoring to locate him.

Touth Is prone to weakness, and weakness allied
with Ignorance of the consequences Which are sure
to follow makes indiscretions and folly inevitable.

cretions In the young and middle aged; sapping the vital forces; undermining
the foundations of manhood; clouding the brightest minds and destroying all
noble thoughts and aspirations; family circles disrupted and tho poisonous
fangs reaching out and blighting even succeeding generations.
There are thousands of partially and totally wrecked constitutions among
young men today from abuses and Indiscretions in early life. Their weakened
Vitality, shattered nerves and exhausted energies tell a pitiable story. Multi
tudes have brought upon themselves the horrors of a life-long disease or weak
ness through excesses, abuses and unnatural drains, which sap the very foun
dation of lite, destroying their health and strength, leaving them a mental,
physical and sexual wreck.
