None of theee subpoenas were ever
served only on the child Just before
the trial. I weat up the morning of
the trial and fouau none o! the wit-

aforesaid. I said, "Mr. Holt, why
have the subpoenas not been served?
He claimed be didn't have the list of
names. He seemed determined not
to prosecute the case, .-id when I re-
monstrated with him. In rather posi
live language, he said. "I have suffi

threatened me with prosecution. On

the trial. I said to him, "If I can have
my witnesses testify, I hare enough

he responded. "I am satisfied the case
will be thrown out anyway because
of statutory limitation." He made no
attempt to get the witnesses until I
told him I had Fred Kelly to help
prosecute the case. Shortly after-
ward Mr. Johnson came in ans said.
We will call those witnesses over
the 'phone." My attorney look the
leading part In the prosecution of the
raae and it was matniy through his
efforts that a conviction was secured.
I understand that in Holt'a speeches
In this campaign, be has frequently
asserted that the crime committed
was known to me for two years prior
to the trial. This is false. The firs1
knowledge I had of It, I went that
very night to the prosecutor and laid
the case before him. For some my*
terious reason, as It seemed to me
then, Mr. Holt did not desire this'
prosecution to be made, t hare since
learned the reason to my entire satis

It would therefore seem to be a

when a storm of protest against his

Special to The Herald.
Guthrie. July 30.—Capital gossip od
the election is scattering and not very
significant, he main men are^ in the
fie id. The warmest fight of the cam-
paign from a local standpoint, Is that
against E. D. Camerosn, superintend-
ent of education. Outside of that
scrap and the gubernatorial sweep
stakes there is little feeling here.
This county will be divided between
Murray and Ross, democrats, and Mc-
Neal and Ferguson, republicans.
There are intimations of a demand
that the primary vote be canvassed at
the capital and not ac Oklahoma City.
Political prophets are agreed that
the fight on Bird S. 21cOutre, the
Cannon representative, is hopeless
insofar as the primaries are con-
cerned. The opposition vote must be
split between Goloble and Garber.
Neil E. McNeil of Pawhuska is the
j i*robabledemocratic nominee.
The vote will be light here, if reg-
istration figures are the determining
factor. Incidentally, it was noticed
in Guthrie that the Oklahoma de-
i plores the fact that while Oklahoma
City should have 10,040 voters in the
■rimary it will probably have less
ban 7000. Old timers remember one
I election in which Oklahoma City was
reported to have cast i4,000 votes.

Scrofula Is a blood disease manifested usually by an ulceration of the
giandi. It Is almost entirely hereditary In Its origin, being the seeds or dregs of
some specific blood poison which has been transmitted, in modified form, to the
offspring of diK230d parentage. Where tte blood is spatially vitiated Scrofula
attacks other portions of the system beside the glands, and. we see Its effects
frequently In weak eyes, poorly devalepd bodies, running sorer and nloere, skin
diseases like scaldhead. catarrhal troubles etc. While the ycting are the r.raai
luUerers fT-.m scrofulous trtmblsa, It la true that It Is sometime* held In check
turtll middle life Is reached, or passed, and then, as the phytic-J ayslea begin* to
decline, older ptnona are attocited by the disease. 8 S 8. Is the one teal and
certain care for Scrofula. It Is a blood piulfler without an equal and It cares
this destructive blood poisen by removing the germs from the blood and so en-
riching and building rp tie circulation that the disease can not remain. S.I 1
searches otrt every taint and Impurity from the blood; it gives to the blood the
richness and power necessary to the beslthy growth of chtMrea, *=d It rtreajtb
ens and Invigorates the ccnstltsticns of older persons by tta fine tonic effects.
8. 8 8. la a purely vegetable msdletne, perfectly safe for voting at old. Scro-
fula being a blood disease can only bo cosed try a blood purifier like 8. 8. 8.
