For the purpose of contradiction, counsel for the defendant wished to otTer in evidence tne stenographic notes taken at the time ot the prelimi nary hearing, the court however, over ruled this stating that such notes were collateral matter and could not be admitted as evidence in this case. This closed the evidence in so far as the defense is concerned. The Commonwealth then called the following witnesses for the pur pose of rebuttal. L. S. Wintersteen recalled. I have no recollection of describing to Mr. E. B. Tustin, the appearance of a man who I had met at Sloan's alley on Market Street, about two weeks before the explosion, l never the night before the explosion until about nine o'clock, I did not see any body on the street in front of Mr. Ikeler's house when I went out.

Mrs. Knorr recalled. Dora Moharter was my servant girl: she told me more than a dozen times that she would swear to a lie in order to keep a friend out of trouble : she did tell me once when we were clean ing the room that Cliff had told her to handle this grip carefully because it contained dynamite, I never thought anything mote about it : I never told her that an attempt had been made to poison me. L. E. Waller recalled. I talked to Dora Moharter about the explosion ; she said she had seen a man the night before the explosion standing on the corner ot the alley across the road from my house, that he was about my building, had a light mustache, and that he walked up the street alone ; the distance between my house and the Dr. Hess house is about one hundred feet.

If a house is cold new furniture wdh't warm it. If your strength is easily ex hausted work a burden; nerves weak) digestion poor muscles soft if you are pale and worn out, the trouble is with the blood. It is not so ch IMPURE blood as POOR blood. Pills won't make this blood rich nor will bitters, nor iron tonics, any more than a new harness will give strength to the horse, or new furniture will make a house warm.
