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

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.

Judge
Dunne, who refused to place Ruef in

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.

arrest lollowed tire exposures ol the rot
tenness of the California Safe Deposit

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

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

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.

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

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

Duyn, of Canyon connty. No state
ment aa to the future procedure in that
case has been made, but it will be

at Caldwell, when it will probably be
finally disposed of.
Simpkins, a member of the executive
board of tbe Western Federation of

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

SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY

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. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it a trial.

gives an amusing Instance of the child’s
supremacy.
An officer appointed to the custom«
at Dalny, who Is on board our steamer
with bis wife, his sister-in-law and a
maid, Is the possessor of a child of the
age of three; a little urchin, with a
solemn countenance, who constitutes
the Joy and sole preoccupation of the
quartette, and exacts from his parents
and attendants, In a truly despotic
manner, the closest aud most constant
attention.
I was speaking of It to the chief en
gineer, who told me that, during the
war, when the troops were on board,
and all was bustle and activity, a small
urchin of two years of age, brought on
board to say good-by to bis warrior
father, got Interested In the ntanoeu-
vers about tbe gangway, and took up
a position right In the middle.
Anywhere else, said my Informant,
sailors would have lifted the child and
carried him to bis |>nrents, so as to put
him out of harm's way. but not here.
He was allowed to remain where be
was, though he terribly hampered the
work to be done. The sailors, to whom
he was a nuisance, only smiled at the
Infant and admired his pluck.
It is rather touching and Indeed
beautiful, because It sounds and ! j so
true. Such love as tbe Japanese ex
hibit for children cannot but tie real.
It strikes one everywhere. In all places

“ It’s all nonsense, and a waste of
time,” said Uncle Henry, "to tell a
young man what kind of wife be ought
to pick out when be gets ready to
marry. Nine times out of ten he has
picked her out already, and If be
hasn’t, he doesn't need anybody's help.”
“ What do you know about It?" he
was asked.
“ I know something about It by obser
vation,” he answered, “ and a little by
experience. When I bad reached the
age of twenty-five, with a fair Income
and good prospects, I thought it was
time for me to marry. I bad almost
decided to ask a certain Naomi Hen-
tborne, but didn't altogether like tha
family, and was In an uncertain frame
o f mind about her, when some of my
friends began to take It upon tbem-
aelvea to assist me. They told ms that
Naomi waa the very girl for me—that
I couldn’t find a better wife If I were
to bunt all over the country, and so on.
In short, they praised her so highly
that I made up my mind I ’d follow
their advice. I began paying atten
tion to her, and la a few weeks I ‘pop

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. S. contains a particle of mineral
in any form. S. S. S. goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing
the blood of every particle of the virus and
adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital
fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder.
So thoroughly docs S. S. S. cleanse the
PURELY VEGETABLE circulation that no signs of the disease arc
ever seen again, and offspring is protected.
Write for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison which fully ex
plains the different stages of the trouble, and outlines a complete home treat
ment for all sufferersof this trouble. No charge is made for this book, and
if you wish special medical advice about case or any of its symptom«, our
physicians w ill be glad to furnish that, too, without barge,
