EXHAUSTIVE OPINION RENDERED

Committer Ilfilu to lt Not l'erti
ni'iit to tlie Inquiry.
Washington, June 1. In tho case of
John 13. Searlcs, the sugar trust witness,
Judge Bradley ordered tbe jury to bring
in a verdict of acquittal, holding the
questions asked by the senate commit
tee to be not pertinent, and if so not
within the jurisdiction of the commit
tee. The judge's opinion was exhaustive.
He pointed out that Searles had testified
that no money had been contributed by
the sugar trust to the national campaign
for the purpose of influencing legisla
tion or the election of United States
senators. The questions put to the de
fendant were claimed to be pertinent to
tbe second and third divisions of the
senatorial inquiry, namely, as to whether
the sugar trust had contributed sums to
the campaign with the purpose of influ
encing the election of senators and
whether any senator had been a party to
a compact witn the sugar truot.
The judge said a simule investigation
as to whether the trust had contributed
to the campaign fund would be an un
warranted search into the private affairs
of the company, and plainly beyond the
power of the senate. If the money had
gone for the purpose of electing members
of the legislature who would elect a
United States Benator, it would be be
yond the power of the senate to go be
hind the election of the legislative mem
bers. Judge Bradley sustained the motion of
the defense and ordered the jury tore
tnrn a verdict of acquittal, which was
rendered accordingly, and Searles was
free.

The Best Kemedy for lllieiitnntlsui.
From the Fairhaven (X. Y.) Register.
Mr. James Rowland of this village,
state that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
instead of going for the doctor he went
to the store and secured a bottle ot it.
His wife did not approve of Mr. Row
land's purchase at first, but neverthe
less applied the Balm thoroughly aud in
an hour's time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have re
cently perfected an ingenious cure for
dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial con
sists of a food already digested and a
digester of foods happily combined.
The importance of this invention will
be appreciated when we realize what a
proportion of the community are victims
of some form of stomach troubles.
Thousands of pale, thin people have littlo
inclination to eat, and what they do eat
causes them pain and distress.
The Digestive Cordial of the Shakers
corrects any stomach derangement at
once. It makes thin people plump.
Every one will be greatly interested to
read the little book which has been
placed in the hands oi druggists for free
distribution.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
