THE DOCTORS call It flatulency,
but unprofessional folks know It as
"wind on the stomach,” and a most
distressing state of things it is. It is
a serious condition of this great motor
' organ. Always annoying and painful
in the extreme, at time often leading
to bad and fatal results. The stomach
embarrassed and hampered with wind,
can not take care of its food properly
and indigestion follows, and this has a
train too appalling to enumerate. The
entire system is implicated—made an

London, Nov. 30.—The prime min-
ister, Mr. Asquith, has called another
meeting of the cabinet for 10 o'clock
this morning to complete formalities
following the action of the house of
lords and it is practically certain that
parliament will be prorogued on Fri-
day until the middle of January.
It is also stated with an air of au-
thority that yesterday’s council detided
upon measures insuring the uninter-
rupted collection of taxes on tea, spir-
its and tobacco until the new parlia-
ment is able to pass a retrospective
act, regulating the situation.
The editorials in the morning papers
on the rejection of the budget are all
written from a party standpoint and
addressed entirely tn the electors in the ;
approaching election. An indication
of the view of opinion held by radical
politicians and the radical newspapers,
the caption descriptive of the final
scenes as printed by one of the news-

. TELLS OF ABUSE AND
DISHONOR.
Both Sides' Are Ready.
When the court met at 10 o’clock
yesterday morning the tate announced
ready and the defense without hesita-
tion responded ready. The following
witnesses for the state were called by
District Attorney Hamilton: D. H.
Hardy, former secretary of state; C.
W. Cahoon, Louis Fries. A. W. clem,
T. R. Johnson, G. W, Allen, H. D. Muir
and Miss N. M. Nagle. Hardy. Cahoon
and Fries did not answer to their
names and although they were reported
in the city, the state asked that at-
tachments be issued for Cahoon and
Fries. Attachments were issued and
the court fined each $100, but before
the attachments could be served the
two witnesses entered the court room
and the fines were remitted.
The task of selecting the jury was at
once begun and was not concluded until
5 o’clock. When the court adjourned
at 5:25 o’clock it was announced that
the court would meet each morning at
9 o'clock, remain in session until 12:30,
recess until 2 o'clock and remain in
session until about 5:30 o'clock.

Little Rock, Nov. 30.—W. Y. Ellis,
charged with the murder of N. P.
Willis of Indianapolis, took the wit-
ness stand in his own behalf today. He
had hardly commenced his evidence
when attorneys for the state and de-
fense clashed over his testimony and
a recess was taken by the court "ntil
tomorrow.
; After a few preliminary questions
Ellis was adroitly led by his attorneys
to the point of relating what he said
had been told him by his wife relative
to Willis, his treatment of her and his
efforts to secure his little daughter.
The state objected to this evidence and
the remainder of the session was spent
in arguing the point before Judge R. J.
Lea. It was intimated that the evi-
dence was highly sensational if Ellls
is permitted to continue the tale he
hardly commenced today.
Durng the morning session Mrs.
Ell s fainted and It required the serv-
ices of two physicians before she could
be revived sufficiently to be taken from
the court house. Thla sensational fea-
ture of the trial came while a letter
written by her to Mrs. Calver of Rt.
Louis, an aunt of her former husband,
was being read. This letter told why
she had left Willis. In this letter Mrs.
Ellis gave as a reason for the separa-
tion that Willis was a drunkard; that
Clara Williams.
