Mo., Feb. 3. In the trial today of Colonel Ed Butler, the mill ionaire politician of St Louis, charged with bribing members of .the house of delegates in that city, J. K. Mur rell, formerly a member of. the house of delegates and agent for the alleged combine that sought the passage of a city lighting bill, was the principal witness. Mr. Murrell was among those indicted. He went to Mexico, but was induced to return to St Louis and turn state's evidence. - I Murrell told of the house of dele gates combine; of their meetings, the various propositions regarding the lighting bill and the attitude of the "boys" toward legislation. He recited that the combine met and decided on $75,000 as the price for which they would pass the bill. Sub sequently, he said, he had a conference with Butler, which he summarized as ofllows: j . "Butler asked me what we wanted to pass the bill. I told him the toys' ex pected $75,000. . " 'Well' he said, 'you fellows can have $47,500; not a cent more.' "Butler came to my office voluntarily I did not send for him. Murrell said he reported Butler's ul timatum back to the combine. He said he met Butler for the second time regarding the lighting bill negotiations November 28, 1899. The bill was pass ed on the night of that day. . "Butler repeated his proposition on this occasion,1 said Murrell. ( ' Mr. Murrell then told"5! the mem bers meeting at the house of Delegate Lehman, where he said the money was distributed h ' V . "Each member's name was called," said Murrell, "and we went and got our jmcknge of money." H"How much did you getf "I got 12500." said Murrell. John Helms, another member of the combine, corroborated much of Mur rell's testimony, naming IS members of that body who were Interested In the bribe money. He told of a particular at which the latter said that he had an offer of $47,590 to pans the lighting bill. $20,000 of which he displayed given him In advance to show good faith. A motion was made and carried "that Mr. Gutke was Instructed to return thr. money and say It was not enough. Lessons From Civil War. Washington. Feb. S. President Roosevelt, General John C.

A letter turned over to the polk yesterday by the landlady of a cheap east side lodg ing house which led to the arrest of Ave men and a woman, whom the po lice, believe were intending to com mence holdup operations in the near future, and to whom the taking of hu man life would be of no object If It In terfered with their plans. The letter was addressed to Ruby Taylor, Denver, Col., and was signed "Jack." It spoke of having received $200 from the woman, and stated that operations were about to begin, and suggested that she send Harry or Jim as some one might have to be put out of the way. , J .Just how far the other four are con cerned In the plot I not known, but the writer, "Jack," Is believed to be a desperate characler, as In the letter he speaks of having . knocked a man on the head In Denver, and of having put another out of the way, but from the tenor of the letter It appears that It was for some personal grudge. 8 It may be several days before further developments are unearthed, though detectives are putting all their time on the case.

Rheumatism nnd debility tie before It The mlirhty force of the turbulent wat- HOT A StmS DISEASE. It is natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when rheumttie pains are shooting; through the joints and muscles and thej are . inflamed and sore, the sufferer is apt to turn to liniments and plasters for relief; and while such treatment may quiet the pain temporarily, no amount of rubbing or blistering can cure Rheumatism, because it is not a skin disease, but is in the blood and all through the system, and eTery time you are exposed to the same conditions that caused the first attack, you are going to have another, and Rheumatism will last just as long as the poison is in the blood, no matter what you apply externally. Too much acid in the blood is one cause of Rheumatism ; stomach troubles, bad digestion, weak kidneys and xorpia liver are otner causes which bring on this painful dis ease, because the blood becomes tainted with the poisonous mat ' ter which these organs fail to carry out of the system. Cer tain secret diseases will produce Rheumatism, and of all forms this is the most stubborn and severe, for it seems to affect every bone and muscle in the body. The blood is the medium by which the poisons and acids are earned through the system, and it doesn't matter what kind of Rheumatism you have, it must be treated through the blood, or you can never get permanently rid of it As a cure for rheumatic trou-' Wes S.

Dut tones up the general health, gently' stimulates the sluggish organs, and at the same time antidote and filters out! of the blood all poisonous acids and1 effete matter of every kind ; , and wheid a. a. a. has restored the blood to its natural condition, the painful, feverish. faints and the sore and tender museles are immediately relieved.
