Willianiaon was tried erred in his in- stiuctinns to the jury, the judgment of the lower court waa yesterday reversed by the United States Supreme court and the case remanded for retrial That the indictment was correct, that the admission of evidence was in ac cordance with law and that the rulings of the court were right and proper is affirmed, hut because the trial judge erred in admitting certain testimony with regard to final proof and became he erroneously instructed the jury with regard to this same evidence, the whole case must again go to trial or the in dictment must he (plashed. The Supreme court construes the jtimber and stone act specifically to re quire ectrymen, at the time of making application for land, to submit an affi davit of good faith, showing that they have no agieement, actual or implied, to sell the land upon acquiring title, but theie is no requirement that such an affidavit shall he made when final proof is submitted. The indictment of Williamson made specific reference to the affidavit required by law, and did not mention the similar affidavit which is exacted by the land ofiice regulations at the time of final proof. Yet evidence was admitted to show that various en- trymen had committed perjury in mak ing such affidavits with their final proof, and the judge, in his instructions to the jury, specifically informed it that it could return a verdict of guilty if sat isfied that the evidence showed such perjury had been committed at the time of making final proof The ad mission of that evidence and the in structions relating thereto proved the undoing of the case against Williamson.

Washington, Jan. 7.— More signifi cant and important, perhaps, than any other statement in the twenty-first an nual repoit of the Interstate Commerce commiasion, which was transmitted today to congress, ia that relating to the attitude of tailway officials toward the new railroad law. I d a discussion of the operation of the act, the commis sion says: “ By railway managers, almost with out exception, the amended law has been accepted in good faith, and they exhibit, for the most pait, a sincere and earneet disposition to conform their methods to its requirements.” The commission adds that it was not expected that reforms could he brought about without difficulty or delay, but it is unquestionably the fact that great progress has been made, and that fur ther improvement is clearly assured. To a gratifying extent there has been adjustment of rates and of “ abuses” by the carriers themselves. Methods and usages of one sort and another whicii operated to individual advantage have been voluntarily stopped and it is not too much to say that there is now a freedom fiom forbidden discriminations which is actual and general to a degree never before approached. As this pro cess goes on, as special privileges dis appear and favoritism ceases to be even suspected, the indirect but not less cer tain benefits of the law w ill become more and more apparent. Since the new rate became effective on October 24, 1906, the commisssion has granted relief in the form of cor rective orders in many cases. Upon November 4, 1907, the commission had rendered decisions in 106 contested cases. In 45 of these orders were made against the defendant carriers; in 45 fhe complaints wore dismissed. Warrants fo r Eviction. New York, Jan. 7.— More than 600 warrants for the eviction of tenants participating in the strike for lower rente were issued today in the Munici pal court. The papers authorize im mediate eviction of the tenants against whom they weie diawn. It w ill un doubtedly take a score of marshals nearly two weeks to serve the n oties. The tenants are maintaining a stout fight and announced today that the landlords of 51 houses had already agreed to reduce rents. The East Side was calm today. Give Back Indian Land. Washington, Jan. 7 — Robert L. Owen, United States senator from the new state of Oklahoma, has beet, under investigation by the Interior depart ment. As a result, Secretary Garfield proposes to institute a suit in the Fed eral courts to cancel certain deeds held by the senator in violation, it is al leged. of the law. Mr. Garfield is alive to the situation. Senator Owen has been greatly concerned over the inves tigation made by the Interior depart ment and will fight to keep the land. He is wealthy and can afford the fight. Favors Local Option Law. Columbus, O., JaD. 7.— The mesesge of Governor Harris was read to the leg islature yesterday afternoon.

RUEF GOES T O JA IL . Laavat Sumptuous Quarters fo r a Felon's Call. Ban Francisco. Jan. 6.— Quarters were arranged at the county jail today for Abe Rusf, the deposed boss of Ban Francisco, who, since bis arrest eight mouths ago, has occupied a suite of roc ms In a private house under a spec ial guard. Sheriff O’ Neil, the Schmitz politician, goes out of office on January 8, and his p ’ace will be taken by Larry Dolan, chosen at ~the last election. Judge Dunne, who refused to place Ruef in the county jail while O'Neil was sheriff for fear that O 'N eil would allow the prisoner to escape, lias ordered that Ruef be transferred from his parlor prison as soon as Dolan assumes office. Ruef w ill join the assemblage of dis tinguished citizens who have moved from their homes on the heights to the branch jail. Ruef will occupy a cell near that in whieh ex-Mayor Schmitz reposes. He will have as neighbors Louis Glass, the millionaire manager of the Pacific 8tates Telephone com pany, who was convicted of bribery; J. Du 1 zell Brown, Walter J. Bartnett and James Treadwell, the banker whose arrest lollowed tire exposures ol the rot tenness of the California Safe Deposit & Trust company, and George D. Col- line, the tricky attorney who was brought tack from Canada to face charges of bigamy and perury. Ruef has been allotted to order his meals as desired and has been living on (he best in the land. He is far more than a mill onaire, and he has been al lowed a great deal of 1 berty as a result of the (orm of bis im pr’Sonment. All this will now tie changed. Just what effect tliiB w ill have on Ruef’s refusal to testify without immunity remains to be seen. It ia thought that a good taste of real prison life may cause Ruef to later his views. FINE FOR E X PR E 8 S C O M P A N IE S Neglected to File Data Asked fo r by Railroad Commission. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 6 — Alleging that the United States, the Adams and the American Express companies had failed to file the amoante of the salaries of the officers and the assets and liabilities of tbe concerns with the Nebraska State Railway commission, County Attorney Tyrrell today filed a penal suit in the Connty court, asking that the fine pro vided by the statute be imposed. That the three express companies neglected to file the data demanded by the eommiseion and January 1 was Bet as the final date for the appearanoe of the complete reports. The railway commission notified Attorney General Thompson of the delinquency and he directed County Attorney Tyrrell to be gin proceedings. The railroad commission law passed by tbe last session of the legislature prescribes a penalty of from $500 to $5,000 for refusing to fuiniah the in formation demanded by the commis sion. The laws direct that service be made upon tbe local agents of tbe cor- p> rations charged with violatiLg tbe laws. P E T T IB O N E FREE. Jury A cqjits Him o f Complicity in Steunenberg Murder. Boise, Jan. 6.— The end of the prose cution of the men charged with the murder of ex-governor Frank Bteunen- berg with the exception of the cases cf Harry Oichard and Jack Simpkins, came Saturday with the acquittal of George Pettibone. Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, was formally released at 4 o’clock, and w ill return with Pettibone in a few days to Denver. The case of Orchard, the self-con fessed aBsassin of Steunenberg, ia in the bands of Prosecuting Attorney Van Duyn, of Canyon connty. No state ment aa to the future procedure in that case has been made, but it will be called during the next term of court at Caldwell, when it will probably be finally disposed of. Simpkins, a member of the executive board of tbe Western Federation of Miners, who is charged with compli city in the crime, is a fugitive from justice and the charge against him will stand. “ DIDOES.” Weak Lungs Bronchitis For over sixty years doctors have endorsed A yer’s Cherry Pectoral for coughs, colds, weak lungs, bronchitis, con sumption.

HOME MADE MIXTURE D o « « t h a W o r d C o m « to l ' « t r o la t h « I t « llc t o f S>’c h a « a « f The phrase “ kick up didos"— for the plural Is formed either with or with out the “e” — Is allo'valiltr It occurs, for example, In Qulller ¿-’ouch's “ Delect able Duchy,” but the more common form Is “to cut,” or "to cut up didos.” The word is a dictionary one. Mr. Murray jwya that It Is “ United State* slang;” he defines It as a prank, n caper, a disturbance, row. shindy; he quotes, as tbe earliest use iu English literature, this sentence from “ Sum Slick in England." (1843-44): “Them Italian singers recitin' their Jabber • • • and cuttln’ didoes at a private concert.” He says that the origin of the word Is uncertain. But Hallburton used the term In “The Cloekmaker” lu 1835, und Prof. Joseph Wright lu Ids "English Dialect Dictionary," says that the term is known la Ireland, Kent, Isle of Wight, Cornwall, and also la the United States. Hallburton used It with ief- ereuce to a Nova Scotian: " I met a man this morula’ from Halifax, a real conceited lookin’ critter • • • all shines and didoes." 1’ rof. Wright gives as tbe first definition: n disturbance, noise, fuss, as In the s)>ee<<h heard ou the Isle of W ig h t: "H e kicked up a mlddleu dido about I t ;’’ then, plural — tricks, antics, eccentric feats— a* In K eu t: "Dreckly ye be backturued, there he be, a-euttlng all manner o’ didos;” and Instly. a plaything, ntso used aa a term to denote articles which do not give satisfaction to tbe owner, as trimming on a dreas or bonnet. Yet the learned Professor Wrlglu does not venture to explain the deri vation of the word, be does not sug gest a possible derivation. Did tbe term come from the fuss made by Queen Dido after the pious Aneas left her? An obsolete word “ dido"— a thrice told tale may have been orig inally "a tale of Dido.” Talt In bis “ Quarternlons” speaks of a Dldonlan curve, who bargained for as much land as could be covered with a hide, and then cut the hide Into a long and nar row strip. Why not say glibly that “ to cut up didos" Is to cut up as Dido did? I.et us honor the name of that noble dame In every way.— Boston Transcript SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PREPARED BY ANYONE. Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad der Weakness Though Harmless and Pleasant to Take. What w ill appear very interesting to many people here ia the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as formulated by a noted au hority, who ulaims that he haa found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, in the follow ing simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Byrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. -He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheu matic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kid ney structure, cleansing these mi at im portant organs and helping them lo sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL A Contagious Wood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humilai* (Ion into the world than all other diseases combined; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorder», wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted tc innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and iu severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, tbe nervous system is shat tered and tbe sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi ally is the treacherous nalure.of Contagious Wood I’oison, shown when the Infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals w ill drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for aw hile, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however,the treatment is leftoff he finds that the poison lias only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs and barks, the best in Nature’s great laboratory of forest and field. We offer a reward of $1.000 for proof that S. S.
