TREATMENT
Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the
, in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the
••cure worse than the disease.” But they cannot cure the vile disorder;
they can only cover up the symptoms for awhile or mask the disease in
the system, but as soon as the treatment is left off the hideous symptoms
return. Mercury and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and
bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia by drying up the gastric juices, cause the
teeth to decay, and often completely break down the constitution, and where
they are used in large quantities, the bones become affected, while the
disease for which one has so long taken this destructive treatment has
not been cured. Contagious Blood Poison is a disease it will not do to trifle
with. It is a vile, dangerous and destructive disorder. When the blood
becomes infected with its virus the mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eye
brows come out, glands in the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots
appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out on the body, the
finger nails drop off and the sufferer is diseased from head to foot. S. S. S.
is the only known antidote for Contagious Blood Poison—the one remedy
that is able to get to the root of the disease and force out every particle of
the poison so that there are never any signs of its return. It is purely
vegetable, made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of known curative
value. Instead of leaving bad after-effects as some medicines do, S. S. S,
tones up every part of the system and puts every part of the body in perfect
health. It will also remove any lingering effects of former mineral treatment
while eradicating the poison from the circulation. Special book on the home

Diamonds have enhanced in value, as nearly every onr knows, more than
double in the ast eight or ten years. The opinion of those who are in a posi
tion to know, is that under natural conditions the maximum price is far from
being attained. Added to the natural conditions, such as the"mines getting
deeper, etc. It is reported that the Deßeers people have obtained control of
Premier Mines, which were the only ones offering even slight competition. It
is therefore very evident that in the near future you will see prices much in
flated over those a|jp resent. Tennison says in his “In Memo ran,” “Delay

BORAH’S TRIAL
BEGINS MONDAY
U. S. Senator Charged
With Stealing Lands.
HE PROSEGIJIED MR. HAYWOOD
And Now Must Face a Jury for Con
spiracy to Defraud the Government
—One of Many Charged With
Being Land Thieves - Per
sonal Friend to Roose
velt.
BOISE. IDA.. Sept. 21. (Special)
j United States Senator William E.
| Borah, leader in the prosecution of
| William D. Haywood ond other ‘'unde
sirable citizens” of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, will face an Idaho
jury Monday to defend himself of the
I charge of conspiring to defraud the
national government by securing il
legal entry of timber lands. The trial
will attract national attention, as
Senator Borah is a personal friend of
President Roosevelt, and the latter is
alleged to have used his influence to
prevent the arrest of the Senator
when the indictments were returned
last April in order that Borah might
be free to conduct the Haywood pros
ecution. Although several other
prominent men were indicted with
him, Senator Borah has been granted
the privilege of a special trial, and it
is believed that there will be no delay,
as Borah has been insistent in de
i manding an immediate trial.
Effect on Steunenberg Case.
it is likely that the trial of George
Pettibone, who was indicted with
Haywood and Moyer for the murder
of ex-Governor Steunenberg, will
have to be postponed as a result of
the Borah trial. In that case, attor
neys for the Western Federation of
Miners will probably demand his re
lease on bail. If Borah should be
convicted it is generally believed that
the cases against Pettibone and Moyer
would be dropped. Borah has been
the mainstay of the state in the pros
| ecution of the federation leaders, and
I if he should be convicted of a crime it
I would serve to thoroughly discredit
! the state in the Steunenberg case.
The case for the government will
be conducted by Attorneys B. M. C.
j Burch of Denver and S. H. Rush of
Omaha. The latter is a special as
sistant attorney general, representing
the department of justice. He has re
lieved District Attorney Ruick in
these cases, owing to the allegation
|of Borah that Ruick’s personal en
| mity toward him was responsible for
I the finding of the indictments. Ruick
| will act in an advisory capacity only
j at the trial.
Fraud in Timber Lands.
The indictments against Senator
! Borah and others was returned be the
I federal grand jury last April, and
! charges conspiracy to defraud the
national government in connection
with securing valuable timber lands
by the Barber Lumber company, for
which Borah was attorney at the time
of the transaction.
In addition to Borah the indictment
of the grand jury includes Frank
Martin, attorney general of Idaho un
der Governor Steunenburg's adminis
tration; J. T. Barber and Sumer G.
Moon, millionaire stockholders of the
Barber Lumber company, residing in
Wisconsin; J. I. Wells, P. H. Brown,
John Kincaid, L. K. Pritchard, Wil
liam Sweet, Albert H. Palmer and H.
S. Rand. The names of John Doe and
| Richard Roe, defendants unknown to
i the grand jury, also appear in the
| indictment. The charge is that these
persons entered into unlawful con
| spiracy in September, 1901, and at
j various other times to secure, by
fraudulent entry, timber lands in
Boise county, Tdaho.
Turned State’s Evidence.
It is alleged that William Sweet,
! one of the indicted, has turned state’s
i evidence on promises of immunity
t and that it is on his testimony that
J the government attorneys largely re
!ly to secure a conviction. Friends of
the other men declare tha t the con
fession of Sweet is false and was se
cured through threats. Tn this re
spect the case against. Borah closely
! resembles the one he recently prose
i cuted against Haywood, and in which
j he attempted to secure a conviction
I on the strength of the confession of
an alleged accomplice.
Ex-Attorney General Frank Mar
-1 tin, who was a member of the Steun
> enburg administration and was in
t dieted with Borah, has filed a pleas of
| abatement, accompanied by an affl
[! davit in which he makes sensational
I cha-ges against Dis* ' Attorney
r ! Ruick. He alleges that" Members of
1 the grand jury which returned the In
! dictment were forced to do so by the
f I district attorney, and that they did not
’ know that Borah and Martin were in
cluded in the charges.
Martin declares that members of
the grand jury were addressed by
Ruick they were considering the case,
and that Ruick in his speech assert
ed that President Roosevelt has com- j
manded him to see that the indict
ments were found.
Intense interest in the trial is man
ifested by the people of Boise and of I
Idaho, and the case will undoubtedly j
attract more local attention than the j
famous Haywood trial, to which it is, j
In effect, a sequel. Senator Borah is |
immensely popular and public senti- I
inent is largely in bis favor. His fail- j
ure to secure the conviction of Hay
wood, after the state had spent large
sums of money to attain that end, has |
slightly dimmed his fame, however, |
and if the coming trial should result i
in Borah's conviction the senator's !
political career will probably come
to an abrupt end.
