Tho jury in ex-Sergeant Sam A. Kirk
ham's $20,000 libel suit against the Min
neapolis Times yesterday afternoon re
turned a verdict for the defendant on the
first ballot, after being out but a short
time.
About an hour was consumed by oppos
ing counsel yesterday in summing up the
case for th^ respective sides. Mr. Jack
son for the Times argued that broadly
speaking, the paper was not stating the
case too strongly in saying that Kirkhara
ought to be in state's prison for his rough,
brutal and wholly uncalled-for conduct f«t
the Phillips home. With regard to the
contention that Kirkham's good name hnd
been impaired, he urged that something
that never had existed could nor be dam
aged.
Mr. Kirkham's attorney made the
that the only circles in which Kirkham's
reputation was bad was among the sport
ing classes, such as gambler and lewd
women, and this reputation was much to
hip credit and was nothing that he w^s
ashamed of. ..Otherwise there was nothing
to show but that his conduct as a police
officer OTjj excellent.
Judge Pond charged the jury at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
DIED FROM A KICK.
■\Vltnesuses Say It Was the Cause of
Wallace's Death.
Coroner Nelson and jury yesterday art

caused by a rupture of the uretha result

CAUGHT A NURSE.
Didn't Know Old King Coffee Had Her.
"The dutie." of professional nurses call
them among a great main- different peo
pli . and It is surprising to know how
many m<- suffering from the use of coffee,
which is the primary cause of the ma
jority of many nervous disorders. My
own experience has been such that I feel
thai I can speak with some knowledge of
the subject.
"For about ten years I was afflicted
with a severe nervous disorder, which
yas so great that sleep necame an un
known thing to me without the use of
opiates. I was a confirmed co'fce drink
er at this time, but ha<l never thought
that had anything to do with the diffi
cult.
"After coming to Oh'eaero to live I wag
told by an acquaintance, who had been a
Similar sufferer from nervousness, that he
discovered it was caused by the use of
coffee, and when he made that discovery,
gave tip the coffee and took up the use of
Postum Food Coffee and was completely
restored. His argument sounded so
logical, I was determine.! to make the
experiment, and to my surprise, upon
leaving off the coffee habit I commenced
to improve. This improvement has con
tinued until now I am In complete health
find sleep well aud naturally. I always
advise patients suffering: from nervous
trouble to abandon the use of coffee nnd
use Postum. for I know what I am talk
ing about on that subject.
"Occasionally private families do not
prepare Pcstum well, that Is, they fail to
allow a sufficient amount of time for boil
ing. It requires more boiling than coffee,
but tha care well repays, for the beverage
is delightful to the taste and wonderfully
nourishing." Maggie F. Church, No. 2

Venezuela Government Troops
Worsted In Several KiiK'iui'iiifiiiv.
AYASHINGTON, Sept. 29—The atate
department has receive:! .a dispatch from
the United States consul at Puerto Ca
bello, Venezuela, under date of the 13th
| iriht., in which he give.? a summary of the
I several encounters between the govern
j ment and rebel forces in that country.
I The first encounter between the forces of
rebel Gen. Castro and those of the Vene
zuelan government occurred near the
I city of San Christobal, near, the Colom-
I bian boundary line, the government
forces engaged consisted of between 400
and SCO men under command of Gen. Le-'
poldo Sarria. The rebel force was
considerably larger, but the actual num
ber is not known. The rebels defeated
the government troops and captured
their leader, Gen. Sarria.
The second battle was in San Chris
tobal. The 1,000 troops of the govern
ment, commanded by Gen. Peralosa, en
gaged 2,000 rebel troops, commanded by
Gen. Castro, eight or nine days, result
ing in Gen. Castro withdrawing his men,
he having learned that Gen. Fernandez
was on his woy there with about 7,000
troops of the government.
The third battle was before and in the
town of El Cobre.
Report has it that the rebels here de
feated 1.500 government troops under the
command of Gen. Morales,and the gen
eral succeeded in escaping with but sev
enty-two men and the ammunition train.
The fourth encounter took place at
I.umbador mountain, where Gen. Weide
mtinn, with 2,500 government troops, tried
to stop the march of the rebels, reported
to be 2,000 strong. The fight is reported
to have ended in a draw, both sides
claiming a victory. At any rate, Gen
Castro continued his march.
At the town of Cordero, Gen. Casi.ro
was attacked by nearly 5,000 government
troops under Gen. Fernandez. His force
then consisted of about 3,000 men. A ter
rible battle was fought, report placing
the loss of the government at nearly
1,500 killed and wounded. That of the
rebels is unknown, but it is thought to
be less, as their position during the bat
tle was superior. Again both claim a
victory. After the battle the rebels
inarched to the town of Tover. In this
place the rebels fought and dispersed, so
it is said, 800 government troops under
Gen. Suplicio Guitarrez, and captured
arms, ammunition and supplies.
At Areneles were massrd, according to
report, nearly 3.500 government troops,
commanded by Gens. Torres, Aular, Gue
vara and Planes. Yet, if report be true,
" the rebels have captured many rifles and
ammunition. In Barquisimeto, Gen.
Suarez has about 4,000 government troops
entrenched behind strong fortifications,
but the rebel forces did not attack. At
the time the consul reports, Gen. Castro
is said to be resting his troops and ani
mals before marching to Velencia.

Has Not Yet Been Definitely Fixed
—Waiting for Muster Out.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-(Special.)
—In contradiction of the statements that
have gone forth that the Minnesota regi
ment will not come home in a body, Col.
Ames today issued the following state
ment:
It is the desire of the officers and
men of this regiment to return to
Minnesota intact as an organization
and to participate in the parade
and receptions arranged for St. Paul
and Minneapolis. We all feel that
we are under a moral obligation to
the generons people of Minnesota
for providing: .special trains for oor
return. Our friends and relatives
can aid in making the occasion a
success by allowing the officers and
men to participate in tlie same be
fore breaking: ranks for the last
time.
Col. Ames today received notification
that John N. Loye and Walter Johnson
have been awarded commissions in the
new volunteer infantry regiments, Loyc
as a captain of the Forty-fifth and John
son as a first lieutenant of the Forty-sec
ond. Loye is battalion sergeant major and
Jqhnson is first lieutenant of Company
F.
Adjt. Falk was today mustered in as
a captain, and Commissary Sergeant De
Muth as a first lieutenant and commis
sary officer.
The work of vaccinating the South Da
kota men was completed this morning.
The doctors at quarantine are still unde
cided as to whether Private Larrabee, of
that regiment, has the disease. Drs.
"Warne and Cox, of South Dakota, re
fuse to give any opinion on the case, as
they have not seen Larrabee since he
was removed to the hospital, but it is
easy to see that they do not think the
case was diagnosed correctly.
No decision has been made regarding
the date when the regiment will leave.
Adjt. Gen. Lambert favors a start on

is practically impossible. The start will
likely be made the afternoon of the 4th.

EIGHTS OF LUMBERMEN.
Ontario Government Files Answer
as to Michigan Dealers.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 29.—The Ontario
government has filed its answer to the
petition of right of the Michigan lumber
men. It pleads:
First—The longstanding provision of the
law that all licenses granted must be sub
ject to such conditions, regulations and
restrictions as may be established from,
time to time.
Second—That as all regulations were not
complied with the crown lands commis
sioner had no authority to renew their
licenses to applicants.
Third—That the supplicants acquired no
enforcable right in respect to the license
beyond a year from date of issue.
Fourth—That the log export law is intra
vires. But the main defense appears to
be that the purchasers enforcable rights
are limited to a year's license.
In an interview this point is discussed
by one of the supplicants counsel, who
quotes the speech of a former crown land 9
commissioner, in which the theory Is put
for%vard that the license holder is really
the owner of the timber, not simply of a
year"s right to cut it.
BLACKLIST SUITS.

against the Chicago & Northwestern and
Wabash roads by Joseph O'Day. O'Day,
at the time of the strike, was yardmas
ter in the employ of the Chicago & North
western Railroad company, and nsserts
that through the alleged agreement by
the railroad companies he has been un
able, since the strike, to secure employ
ment in his profession.
Several similar blacklisting cases wnich
attracted great attention In labor and
railway circles are still pending In the
courts. They have not yet been passed
upon by the supreme court.

ment.

FOOD AT CHIPPEWA FALLS
WEXZEL, SCHEERER AXD CHARI.F
GOHDE BROUGHT BACK BY
DETECTIVE SWEEXEY
Victims of the "Hold-Up" Under ih
Fonrth Street Bridge Sunday
Night Are Returned to St. i'aul—
They Were "Induced*' to Leave.
Wenzel Scheerer and Charles Gohde,
the complaining witnesses in the
highway robbery case against Mi
chael and John Stewart and
John Doyle, surprised the police last
evening by walking into the central sta
tion. The twain were assaulted and rob
bed of $230 in the Fourth street tunnel-
Sunday evening. The police arrested the
two Stewarts and Doyle and said the
men who were robbed had identified the
prisoners as the ones who did the deed.
The case was continued, and when it was
called in the police court Thursday
neither Scheerer nor Gohde were pres
ent.
It has frequently happened that wit
nesses In criminal case? mysteriously
disappeared from the city, and the ab
sence of Scheerer and Gohde was sup
posed to be another case of "fix." In
quiry at the boarding house where the
twain had been sent to stay at the ex
pense of the county until the trial of the
case brought out the fact that the men
had not been seen since Wednesday aft
ernoon.
The county attorney blamed the police
for not keeping a better eye on che wit
nesses, and the officers said they did not
understand that the men were to be kept
under surveillance. Telegrams were sent
to Alma Center, Wis., where the wit
nesses lived, by Chief Gcss, and every
effort made to ascertain their where
abouts. The police, and particularly t
detective department, were much put o
over the disappearance of the men.
At the request of County Attorney
Blgelow, Detective Sweeney was detailed
to locate them. "The men were told by
some one," says Mr. Bigelow, "that If
they remained and testified at the trial
they would not only lose their money,
but would be detained until next April,
and would have to lose their time when
they might be at work. I have not been
able to ascertain who gave them this in
formation, but it was evidently some
one interested in the case not being
tried."
Yesterday Patrick MeDonough and
Michael Needham were arraigned in the
police court on a charge of being impli
cated in the robbery of Scheerer and
Gohde. A plea of not guilty was en
tered by the defendants and the ca«e
continued to Oct. 6.

SPOTS ON
THE SUN.
Northfleld Observatory, Eastbourne,
England—Mr. G. F. Chambers recently
observed a spot on the sun, the diame
ter of which way about 30.000 mile?.
Spots on the faces of men and women,
although only one-thirtieth of an inch in
diameter, cause more anxiety than the
most profound solar disturbances.
Blotches on the skin usually follow in the
train of Biliousness. Indigestion or Con
stipation. Beecham's Pills, a pleasant
laxative, remove the cause. Then the
spots disappear.
There is no help to health on earth to
equul Beecham's Pills; they are the grand
est liver regulators the world has ever
produced, and may be taken freely, for
nothing but eood can follow their use.
