GRAND JURY FINISHES .UP Fails to Beindict in Sereral Cases Which Were Quashed. 0ITE OF BATTET CASES IN LIST GamhllBK Char Acalasc Job. If. Skeffler Igaored, bat Jadire De ellaes to Dlsaals Bond II I Held to March Tersa. The district court grand Jury reported Saturday afternoon alx Indictments and was discharged for the term. As Judge Thomell wm on the point of adjourning court In order that he might go to Sidney to spend Sunday with hla family, he turned the batch of Indictments over to th clerk of tha court with Instructions to lock them, up In Ma safe until Monday. No bond were fixed, no bench warrants Is sued and th Indictments will not b made public until Monday. Tho record, however, show that the grand Jury failed to return Indictments In several of the case which had been re submitted to R. On February 10 Indictments were quashed In seven caaes. It being shown to the court on the testimony of H. V. Battey, former clerk of the district court, and Ernest Lathrop, former deputy county recorder, that th grand Jury for 1908 had been 'improperly drawn. Tha In dictments thus quashed were as follows: One against John N. Scheffler for run ning a gambling house; two against H. V. Battey. one for embetxlerwrtt and one for forgery; two against May Noble, one for keeping a house of III fame and the other for maintaining a nuisance; one against George Townley for maintaining a nulsanoe, and one Jointly against Gua Volkua, Charle Perrtne and William Frailer for maintaining a gambling house. The entry of Judge Thornell In th court record shows that In the case In which H. V. Battey, former clerk of the district court, was charged with forgery, the grand Jury had failed to return a fresh Indict ment. The entry reads: "Cause dismissed by grand Jury, defendant discharged and bond exonerated." No such entry appear In the record aa to the case In which Mr. Battey was charged with embeislement, so It Is presumed that the grand Jury has found a new Indictment on this charge. Soma Who Go Free.

Sheffler's bond was placed at S400. which h furnished dur ing th afternoon. The grand Jury appeared to have some trouble In reaching a conclusion In the caaea against H. V. Battey, the former clerk of the . district court . 8hortly after court convened yesterday - momng it ap peared before Judge Thornell arid through Its foreman, A. K. Chambers, ' asked for further Instructions. In response to a question from the court. Foreman Chamber stated that the evi dence before tho grand Jury Indicated that the funds which Battey waa charged with embessling had been repaid to the county and member of the grand Jury desired to ascertain whether they should take this fact Into consideration In determining whether new Indictments should now be re turned. Judge Thornell read to the Jury th law on embezxlement, explaining Its provisions at some length. Tha return of the property, he Informed the Jury, did not exonerate the accused person. Following these Instructions, Foreman Chambers Indicated that there was some thing further which the grand Jury de sired to communicate to th court and at th former's request all persons except the Judge, th county attorney and the mem bers of tha Jury wer excluded from the court room. County Attorney Hess also left the court room In a few minutes, leav ing th Judg and the grand Jury alone. Later Mr. Battey was admitted. What transpired at thla interview- waa not made public.

Aa A ate Celllalea means many bad bnilaes, which Bueklsa's Arnica Balva heals quickly, aa it does sores and burns. So. For sal by Beaton Drug Co A tingle newspaper advertisement, standing . alone, cannot perhaps be said to possess within itself the quality ot persistency of pertinacity. It can, however, form a part of and bear out a plan which a business house has adhered to strictly for years. , The trade mark, or name of a house which is reproduced in newspaper publicity in an individual . or characteristic style, indicates that each adver tisement containing it is one of a series or that ' the use of advertising space is an established policy of the house. t . In no other way can a merchant win confi dence or establish so thorough a credit vith. the public as by advertising prudently and persistently in the newspapers. Confidence is a plant of slow growth, but per-' sistency is its sun, rain and fertilizer. When the late Frank Cooper, of Siegel, Cooper & Co., was running a store in Peoria and . needed $10,000 he did not go to the bank for it. He frankly told the people that he wanted to raise this amount of money and got it by offering them in ducements for immediate purchases. Persistency in an advertiser is necessary to establish such a reputation with the people that ho can command co-operation like this. . An advertiser establishes his character with the public the same as he does with his bank by persisting in making promises and never failing to fulfill thm. A credit with the great general public is a very present help in time of need. A persistent advertising campaign covering a period of three years in legitimate newspapers will seldom fail to produce a good will asset that is worth more to the advertiser than the entire amount spent in newspaper space during that time. In preparing a newspaper advertisement, re-, member this quality of persistency the fact that it is published as a part of a house's policy and will either build or break down prestige. ajK Round Trip Homeseekers' Rates MARCH 19 .00 to Denver, Colorado springs, rueoio. propor tionately as low rates to other points in Eastern Colorado.
