also acts as a stimulating tonic for the entire system.
I have found it pleasant to take, as well asemcacious.ana one

It is often a serious question to know just what medicine to

JOBES' CORRECTION.
To the liditor of the Eagle:
"I noticed in your paper a few days
ajro an article entitled "itipley Couldn't
lllde." which article, among other things,
staled that Sir. E. F. Ripley, president
of the A. T. & S. P. Ry. Co., attempted
to use liis pass on the California Limited
train out of Ixa Angeles and that the
conductor refused to honor it and re
quired him to pay $65.50, the faro to
Chicago.
"Your correspondent has evidently heen
misinformed, because Mr. Ripley could
rot consistently, and would not, ask a
conductor to violate one of the campnny's
rules. Furthermore, the ouofstioii' of
Identity could not have heen raised, as
Nr. Ripley's signature and other docu
mentary evidence at his disposal would
'easily have identified him.
"Xo ono is allowed to ride free on that
train except sujH-rintendents, the general
managers, president, or chief engineers,
and then only between such points as the
immediate and pressing necessities of
the case make it necessary for them to
travel In the course of their respective
duties as oliicers of the company.
"When 2Vlr. Ripley uses the California
limited train he buys a ticket before tak
ing passage upon it, the same as any
other passenger. I have personal knowl
edge of this fact, because 1 have seen
written requests from him to oflicers
Df the company to purchase tickets for
him and his family for use on that train.
"Fasses are not honored on the Cali
fornia Limited because it is an expensive
train to operate and tlie distance be
tween Chicago and California bein?r very
preaT. persons holding system passes
would naturally use it in preference to
traveling upon regular trains of slower
Feh"du'e and would therefore occupy
Fp:ce which would otherwise liavc been,
Fold to pay passengers (which space is
ne.irly always in demand), thereby prob
ably causing the company to lose the
revenue to be derived therefrom.
"The rule is obviously an Inexorable
one. as to violate It in one instance would
only make trouble in many others, and
Mr. Ripley is not the sort of man to start
the trouble by making exceptions in hte
own case." "a, C JOBE3."
EDITOR'S XOTE And Mr. Jobes Is a
director of the Santa Fe. too. The story
to which he refers was sent out by the
Santa Fe's advertising agents at Chicago.
It Is. indeed, good matter, and reads so
realistic that it is not surprising that
even the men composing the different
parts of that grand system are deceived
as to its genuineness.

"Mrs. Hannibal told you to sign the
$1500 note?"
"Yes sir."
"AVhy didn't you sign your own name?"
"Because it was against he firm."
"Has this note ever been paid?"
"No sir."
"And you settled with Miss Hanibal
without taking this into consideration?"
"I don't know."

she was there with a gentleman."
Cross examined.
"You and Miss Alsbaugh were good
friends?"
"Yes sir."
"Never had any trouble?"
"No sir. AVe are Nstill good friends."
This concluded the evidence for the
defense and the state began with their
rebuttal evidence.
Chief Burt was called for the state.
"You testified as to the condition of
the back door after the fire?"
"Yes sir." ,
"Did you examine it yesterday?"
"Yes sir."

"What is your schedule of a car com

"Seven minutes and a half.'
"How often did they run?"

"You testified as to the door, did you
not?"
"Yes. sir."
"Do you know whether the door is In
I the same condition as It was on January
ir
"Yes, sir."
Is it In the same condition now?"
"Vest, sir.
The state then rested.
Mr. Eckstein requested that tho court
allow the Jnry to go and view the door,
to which the defense objected. After
much argument the objection was sus-
tained. :
Court was then adjourned until 1:99 ;
o'clock, when the arguments were to be !
made.
At the opening of the court at 1:M
Judge AVllson gave the Jury their inetru- j
i tions regarding the case, stating tne laws ;
' ir. regard to circumstantial evidence and !
the laws governing are on and attempted ;
arson.
i After the court read the instructions to
the jury County Attorney Eckstein pre
sented the state's argument in the cae
He reviewed the testimony and pointed
out any discrepancies in that of the de- j
.ense. 11 said that he thought they hae
proven beyond a doubt that no one else
could have made acceae to Use store but
ne of the Steven. He also said that
ihe hui proved tn fact that the back
d'tor ' "ot been changed in any way
I since : ... :.r- was attempted on Jaauary I.
! Ho ; . - A out the fact that Mr. Steven
stat rnt of time on the witness siaaj
dtfteroa with that of hte written state
meat, if the fact they had proved were
true, the state would expect a verdict a
the hands, of the jury. He closed by saying-
. that the state had no prejudice
against the defendant but had simpb'
tried to invoke the laws of the state of
Kamsas.
Attorney George Adams then followed
Tvith a forty-minute argument for the
defense. He also reviewed the testimony
in the case. He contended that because
two witnesses for the state had testified
to seeing S. M. Stevens in front of his
store on the evening: of January 1 did
not establish that fact It was peculiar
that out of the 20,000 people living in
AA'ichita only these two should have seen
Mr. Stevens on that evening. He also
said that the state had not attempted to
show any facts concerning the insurance.
They did not show that while the stock
invoiced 54,600 it was only covered by
?3.300. He also asked why it .was that the
detectives had not been called on to tes
tify, and said that it was because the
jury were not expected to believe the tes
timony of a detective.
"The court tells you that in circum
stantial evidence that every circumstance
that forms a link in the chain of evidence
must be proved beyond a aoubt". In other
words, if there is a doubt as to their
truth you can not convict. This Is the
law. The lawmakers concluded many
years ago that this was dangerous and
they.-have ; thrown these safeguards
around this class of evidence."
MiC-Adams said, that because there
jnightbe some discrepancies in the tlrsc
given "3jy the defense, they had no right
. to convict him upotusuch circumstances.
gentlemeh"you will not allow these
circumstances to stand in the way of your
bett'er 'judgment and cause you to be mis
led.'.'
Paul Brown then followed with an ar
gument for the defense. He claimed that
MIbs Hereford, a state's witness, had ex
plained all the insinuations that had been
made by the state as to the velvets, lights
and other things which they claimed
would show you an intention on the part
of the defendant to burn the store. It is
not thrown on us to prove who did at
tempt to burn the store, but to show that
Mr. Stevens did not. Any one could have
had a key to that place, because, as far
as we know, there were only two keys
does not' signify that there were no more.
I haven't a doubt but that it was not
Mr. Stevens that was seen, and I do hot
believe there is a doubt in your minds
but what it was not Mr. Stevens.
The court instructs you that If you
have any reasonable doubt you must not
convict this man.
"On the slender pretense that the state
has put up are we to take away this
young man's liberty, take him from his
family and career, because of this sus
picion. I leave this with you, gentlemen,
knowing that some one among you must
have a reasonable doubt, concerning this
man's guilt."
John Adams then spoke for one hour
and a quarter reviewing the evidence
and presenting- his argument in behalf of
the defendant. He claimed that the state
had failed to prove the facts made in
his opening statement, and that they had
failed to show that at any time Mr.
Stevens had a key to the store in his pos
session.
"The question for you to decide, gentle- J
men. is whether you intend to make this
woman sitting here, the wife of a felon,
this child the child of a felon. I think
that some of the ill gotten, poorly pre
sented evidence of the state was furnished
by no other than Harry Sutton.
"Because these two witnesses say they
saw him there is this any proof that he
was there That's their theory for getting
him near the store. They have made no
case of this at all. they have not proved
he was -on the sidewalk in front of that
store. About the only thing- the state has
proven is that Mrs. Stevens is the wife
of S. M. Stevens. They claim that be
cause he is the husband of Mrs. Stevens
he set fire to her store. Do you think
this is true."
"The court wipes this out and says
that because Mr. Stevens is the husband
of Mrs. Stevens you have no reason to
believe him guilty. You must first find
the circumstances before you convict."
Mr. Eckstein closed for the state.
He said that In this case the state had
tried to present the facts in the case as
they were.
"My brother Adams cast a slur at Harry
Sutton, who has not been in this court
room since the trial began."
He then reviewed the evidence as did
John Adams, answering the statements
of Mr. Adams, who had preceded him.
He sighted two witnesses for the state
who testified to having seen Mr. Stevens
on the street.
At the close of his argument the case
was given to the jury.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
-Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the saftest and most efficient disin
fectant and purifier in nature, but few
realize Its value when taken Into the
human system for the same cleanuing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all. but simply absorb"? the gasrs and
Impurities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
colect in the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects the mouth and throat from tho
poi?on of catarrh.

At the Crawford.
To every one who enjoys a good laugh
"Peck's Bad Boy' which was presented
last night at the Crawford was a treat
and with the many fine specialties in
troduced throughout the evening made
this performance more than pleasing
and to say the audience was well pleased
was proven by the tremendous applause
each act received.
As a farce comedy this piece would be
hard to equal for it is one continuous
line of funny situations. The pranks
which the bad boy plays, on the old
groceryman and everybody "who happens
to be around not only made you laugh,
but kept every one in roars of laughter
from the time the curtain arose on the
first act until it came down on the last.
Miss Zelda. as the bad boy, was simp
ly fine. Fred AArerzel. as Max Shaltz, the
groceryman gave eminent satisfaction; in
fact every character was played in a
satisfactory manner. Happy Hooligan
was a new feature over last year and
seems to give the play more life. The
skating specialty by AVm. Cogan was
something new and made a decided hit.
Maud Hazel, in fanc' dancing, received
many enchores. As a whole, this play
pleased immensely, for every one who
is fond of this kind of entertainment.

AA'. H. Turner, in making up for tho
part of "David Harum" in the play of
that name, which is to be presented at
the Crawford Tuesday, February 23, de
voted a great deal of study to the man s
appearance. The result is that the actor
is entirely lost sight of when he steps
before tne footlights. It is "Harum" that
is seen, the stout, medium-sized, shrewd
old chap with the cunning yet kindly
eye. and the mouth that is so expressive.
There is tho wart on his cheek and the
ruddy complexion of a man used to being
out a great deal in the open air. The
success of the piny presages a very long
