CARRIE LOST CASE.
Could Not Testify Positively That Negro
Boys Took her Money.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kan
sas joint smasher, played to a
full house in police court this
morning, when she appeared as
prosecuting witness against
Charles Brown and Will Stubbs,
colored, porter and bell-boy at
the Metropolitan Hotel, whom
she charges with robbery. Ex
tra seats were brought in to ac
commodate the crowd, which in
cluded Attorney General Rogers,
several aldermen, and other
prominent citizens. Judging
from the crush of spectators
who gathered in Justice Meis
ner’s office Wednesday at 10
o’clock, when the case was first
set, the trial was removed from
his office to the police court
room. Justice Meisner gave
strict orders that no smoking
would be permitted in the court
rooms, and there was a speedy
disappearance of cigarettes,
stogies and cob pipes. The court
did not desire to give offense to
the celebrated reformer from the
Sunflower state.
The charge was read, and a
plea of not guilty entered by
Attorney Fulk for the accused.
He said he was willing to take
the testimony of the prosecuting
witness, and that of other wit
nessess later, if all were not
present. It was stated that all
were present, and the case pro
ceeded. Mrs. Nation objected
to the use of the word “swear”
in the oath, and “affirmed” to
tell the truth. She was the first
and only witness. She identified
one of the negroes as the porter
to whom she gave her valise
Saturday night, containing the
proceeds of her lecture Saturday
afternoon. The valise was taken
to her room, and later she found |
that the money—she did no£
know how much—and a list of#i
paid subscriptions to her paper
were missing.
“I brought the accusation
against these boys because I can
not imagine any other way in
which the money could have
been taken,” said the witness.;
“But I cannot prove it. I can
not swear that they took the
money, and I had rather not
punish them than to do them an
i justice. I had rather let the
case drop tnan do them a wrong.
If that boy. will only return my
list of subscriptions I would be
willing to let them go free, for
they are certainly , entitled to
the benefit of the doubt.”
Judge Fulk then argued the
case: “Her declaration that she |
is not positive of the guilt of the
accused is in consonance with
the record of this good woman,”
said he. “I do not wish to put
her through the embarrassment'
of a cross-examination, for upon
her own statement she is unable
to fasten the guilt upon these
boys but your honor knows that
her evidence would be thrown
out tey a judge on a trial in cir
cuit court.”
Justice Meisner decided that
there was not sufficient evidence ,
to hold the accused, and dis- j
charged them. Attorney Fulk j
then requested that any one who 1
might find a subscription list to
“The Hatchet” should turn it
over to Justice Meisner, as she
lit of more value thai
Lwhich was lost. — Ar

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be c:;red by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
