WILL TRY TO BRAZEN IT OUT

FOItGER TCRXEB. PREPARING TOPLAV A SMOOTH GAME.

3VIII Prolinhlr Co ml net IIU Own Caseand AVorU the Sympathy Racket

for a Pardon It ConvictedA Very Clever Criminal,

R. B. Turner, the clever young forgerwho was indicted by the grand jury on fiveeeparato counts, was arraigned in the crim-inal court yesterday. Turner has an ef-frontery that is monumental. He dresseslike a dude, and is living in luxury onmoney which is said to he sent to him byhis divorced wife. He has a record as longas the moral law. One who knows himvery well says that he was sent up foreight years for forgery in Denver, but hemade a brilliant fight in conducting hisown defense, and was pardoned at the

of the entire Denver bar on conditionthat he would study law. Instead of thisie went to Topeka, and was sent up forAve years for forgery. He conducted hisown defense in.this trial, and made an af-fecting plea to the Jury, declaring, withtears in his eyes, that when he was 13years old lie was called to his father'saeatnbea. He described the death of hisfather, who is now alive and well, recount-ing m a faltering and tear-chok- voicenow the old gentleman told him he couldleave him nothing but a good name, andadjured him to guard that with, his life.Turner then, according to his alleged pleato the jury, became addicted to the mor-phi-

habit, and under the influence of theinsidious drug he forged a check. Hepleaded with the jury not to sully the fairname left by the dead father, who neverhad a serious sick spell in his life. In spiteof his plea the jury gave him five years inthe Kansas penitentiary.

It is evidently Turner's intention to playthe same trick here. He refused to pleadeither guilty or not guilty yesterday, andmade a bombastic speech to Judge Wof--f

ord, who had advised him to get a lawyer."I appreciate," said Turner, "the solic-

itude manifested by the court in my behalf,but I am really not prepared at this timeto say whether I shall employ counsel ornot: but It Is safe to say I shall be repre-sented either by counsel or In person.

According to the law a plea of not guiltywas entered for Turner, and his case wasset for December 2. Turner will probablypiead his own cause and work the sympa-thy racket. He Is a brainy young fellow,whose talents, if directed aright, wouldtrain nlm distinction.

Other Arrangements.All the prisoners indicted by the grand

jury bast week were arraigned. HappyJack" Morris pleaded not guilty to mur-dering -- Officer Keuben Howard.His trial was set for December 20.

got five years in, the penitentiary the otherday. During the oast-wee- k a dozen ig-

norant negroes have pleaded guilty toburglary and grand larceny and got fromthree to five years each, though their plun-der did not In any case exceed $25. '

"William B, Green, alias Bowen, pleadedyesterday to stealing $3,900 from the

urlfngton road. He got two and one-ha-lf

years in the penitentiary. It pays to "gita plenty while you're gittin' ,r in Jacksoncounty. During tho past year three em-

bezzlers whose stealings were In the thou-sands, have pleaded guilty, and had a sen-

tence Imposed of two years each. J. H.JUdrlch stble $23,000, W. B. Porter stoleseveral thousand dollars, and there areothers. Judge "Wofford's theory Id thatthese men are not criminals at heart; thatImprisonment for- - two years Is a worsepunishment to them than ten years wouldbe to a. confirmed criminal. There is ameasure of truth In tho theory, but thepractical application of it Is to directly en-courage young men in positions of respon-sibility to run the risk of detection andsteal large sums.

mitted to Bond.Judge Wofford heard evidence yesterday

In the application of Phil McCrory. whoshot and killed Fay Madden, for admissionto bond. The matter was continued untilMonday, when argument will be heard. Itis tho general belief that the appllcatibn forbond will be granted, as the evidence sub-mitted yesterday went very strongly toprove self-defen- Dr. W. F. Iuen, whowas acting police surgeon on the nightMadden was shot, testified that Maddenmade a dying statement, in which he admit-ted that he struck McCrory and was get-ting the best of the fight when he was shot.Notes made by Assistant Prosecutor Mas-ti- n,

who saw Madden just before he died,were produced in evidence and corroboratedthe testimony of Dr. Iuen.

Conductor Daley and Brakeman Mitchelltestified to the quarrel that took place, butthey did not say who started it, and theirevidence was oi utile weignu

Flora Garrett, tho woman who heardMadden make his dying statement, corrob-orated Dr. Iuen's evidence.

Knew the Stamps Had Been Stolen.William Proctor, alias Proctor Knott, was

arraigned before Commissioner Nuckolsyesterday morning on tho charge of com-plicity in robbing the postofiico at Saxton,a small station near St. Joseph, a fewnights since. He denied that he helpedrob the office, but admitted he was guiltyof receiving the stolen stamps, and thatho know they were stolen property. Hewas committed under $500 bonds, and awarrant was issued for James McFarland,who is In the workhouse, who is said to bethe man who committed the robbery. Allof the parties are colored and are wellknown to tho police.

THE OLD WAY--

Cf Treating; Dyspepsia nnd Indiges-tion liy Dieting? n Barbarous

nnd Useless One.' We say the old way, but really it is a3ery common one at present time and many"lyspeptics and physicians as well con-

sider the first step to take In attempting tocure indigestion is to diet, either by select-ing certain foods and rejecting others, or togreatly diminish tho quantity usuallytaken; In other words, tho starvation planis by many supposed to be the first essen- -

Tho almost certain failure of the starva-tion flurn for dvsncnsla has been iirn-- r

time and again, but still the moment dyspepsia muxes lis iiiJiTCui .iiiuu a uuurse oIpllnir Is at once advised.All this is radically wrong. It is foniuti

3nd unscientific to recommend dieting orstarvation to a man suffering from dyspep-sia, because indigestion Itself starves everyorgan and every nerve and every tiber inthe body.

What the dyspeptic wants is abundantnutrition, which means plenty of good,wholesome, well cooked food and some-thing to assist the. weak stomach to digestit. This Is exactly the purpose for whichStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted,and this is tho method by which they curethe worst cases of dyspepsia; in otherwords, the patient eats plenty of whole-some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tabletsdigest it for him. In thls'way the system isnourished, and theoverworked stomachrest-cd- .

because the tablets will digest the foodwhether the stomach works or not- - One ofthese tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meator eggs.

Your druggist will tell you that Stuart'sDyspopsla Tablets Is the purest and safestremedy sojd for stomach troubles, and everytrial makes 'one more friend for this exce-llent preparation; Sold at CO cents fdr-fu- ll

Before the fire department respondedto tho alarm, the flames burst through thofloor above the dye shop, where L. C.Harter runs the "Model" rooming house,and to stores adjoining on tho east andwest. There was a stiff fire when tho de-partment arrived, but it soon had a dozenstreams at work and the Are under con-trol.

ment for blocking the way to an interna-tional agreement for the remonetization ofsilver, charging that by closing tho Indianmints It has confiscated one-ha- lt of thowealth of the people of the Indian empire.He expresses the opinion that England maybe forced, out of regard to her own inter-ests, to change her course, and he con-

cludes: "If.howcvcr, everyentreaty, she proves false to her own andthe world's Interest, then she may learnto her cost that other nations can act with-out her, and may see the very thing cometo pass in retribution which she so longopposed.

RATES

President Irvln Advances This Plan ofObviating: Hostile Insurance

Legislation.In the annual address to the Underwrit-

ers' Association of the Northwest, Presi-dent Irvln, of tho Philadelphia Fire Asso-ciation, advocated the reduction of rates asan endtoward discouraging the formationof speculative fire insurance companies andthe improvement of business. On this sub-ject he said:

"Public attention has been directed to in-surance, and the public demands why wegive but 63 cents protection for $1 permlum.It rightfully asks what becomes of theother 35 cents? We must and should beable to reduce the exnense of business. AVepay too high commissions in many instances, we expect too mucn in mviuenus.Our association, instead of discussing thoincrease of rates, should strive to reduce

f them by regulating the commissions andexpenses, in tact, "association- - in its veryterm carries with It the idea of lessenedexpense. Until the public can see that weare doing that, we must expect public pro-test and objection to assert itself In hostilelegislation."
