INCREASE WAS
40 PER CENT
THE INCOME OF THE LOCAL
POSTOFFICE FOR FEBRUARY
WAS $15541.73.
The increase of the San Antonio
postufflee for stamps and postal cards
for the month of February was near-
ly forty per cent in excess of the in-
come from the same sources during
February 1906. The income for the
month in 1907 was $15541.73. During
February 1906 the income of the of-
fice aggregated $11146.87. Net in-
crease $4394.96.
There will be quite a handsome in-
crease shown in the business for the
year but not quite sufficient to put
San Antonio in the class with Dallas
Fort Worth and Houston in the eyes
of the postmaster general. It is be-
lieved however that a sufficient in-
crease will be shown to entitle this
city to additional clerical help.

mailed apparently by visiting Odd Fel-
lows unfamiliar with the recent ruling
of the postmaster general placing all
such cards under the ban.
Every effort has been made to notify
visitors through the papers of this rul-
ing. It is likely that if this had not
been done there would hardly be one
of these cards left on the counters of
local dealers.

JEROME AT LAST
SHOWS HIS HAND
DECLARES PRESUMPTION BEFORE
THE COURT IS THAT THAW
IS INSANE NOW.
MOTHER TO TESTIFY
Expectation that White Haired Mrs.
Thaw Would Go on Stand Today
Brought Out Great Crowd.
Associated Press.
New York March 5. —The prospects
j that Mrs. William Thaw the white
haired mother of the defendant might
be a witness today at the trial tend-
ed to revive interest. Dr. Charles J
! Wagner superintendent of the State
' hospital for the insane at Bingham-
ton N. Y. was recalled to the stand
and his cross-examination resumed.
I District Attorney Jerome read the lat-
ter part of Dr. Wagner's testimony
yesterday regarding characteristic
brain storm so as to take up the line
of questioning where it was left oft.
The witness yesterday referred Mr.
Jerome to instances of brain storm
cited in one of the medical authori-
ties. Today the prosecution asked if
the alienist knew of any other re-
ported cases of brain storm. Dr. Wag-
ner said he could not recall off hand.
Thaw who brought his customary
batch of letters Into court with him
after a brief whispered conversation
with some of his counsel proceeded
to read a large number of the epis-
tles. He then took a large par out
of one of his big envelopes secured
pen and ink and began to write a
letter. He was a decidedly uninter-
ested spectator. I nthe fact the ex-
pert testimony throughout bored the
prisoner immeasurably. His present
attitude is in sharp contrast to the
keen interest displayed while his
wife was on the witness stand.
In the midst of a discussion as to
the admissibility of evidence District
Attorney Jerome said the presumption
before the court is that Thaw is in-
sane now nothing having been ad-
duced to show the insane state has
not continued.
Mother to Testify.
New York March 5 (5 a. m.) —It is
probable that Mrs. Thaw mother of
Harrv K. Thaw will take the stand
in the Thaw trial today for the pur-
pose of doing what she can to save
her son from the consequences of the
act which resulted in the death of
Stanford White.
Mrs. Thaw's testimony can be of
little value except in so far as it may
tend to show that in his youth her son
was of a very nervous temperament
and that he steered from various
nervous diseases as a child. It has
been said that she will also test if}
to a strain of insanity in her family
but her evidence in this line can be
of little value.
Dr Charles G. Wagner will be on
the stand for a timo at least today as
his cross examination was not com
dieted when court adjourned last
night. Just what Mr. Jerome expects
to prove by his cross examination of
•his expert is not plain. Like all his
other cross examinations it has so
far been rambling jumping from one
point to another. So far as one can
follow his object. Mr. Jerome seems
to be trying to show by Dr. Wagner’s
admissions that Thaw never was in-
sane. while he devoted most of his
time with Dr. Evans in attempting to
compel tha tallenist to make admis-
sions that would tend to show that
Thaw Is now insane.
Thaw's Counsel Fighting.
Mr. Delmas made few objections to
Mr. Jerome's questions to Dr. Wagner
yesterday and there are many who
are following the case closely who arc
jf the opinion that the defense will
not object to this line of questioning
while they will resist strenuously any
attempt to show that Thaw is now in
sane preferring to take their chances
with the jury rather than with a lu- '
nacy commission. The insanity plea
allowed them to put Evelyn Nesbit I
"haws story before the jury and the
speculators are many of them con-
vinced that this is as far as the de-
fense hopes to go with the plea. It
is certain that the defense will take
the case to the jury if it is possible
A LASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every
Claim Made For Doan's Kidney
Pills In San Antonio.
Relief from the pains and aches of
a bad back is always welcome to ev-
ery backache sufferer; but to cure a
lame weak or aching back is what's
wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured.
It can be done. Here’s the strongest
evidence to prove it: '
S. W. Hull machinist of 209 Sole-
dad street San Antonio Texas says:
"Some time ago my back was so weak
that I could not get up without help
after sitting and in the morning was
always lame. There was also a diffi-
culty with the kidney secretions that
annoyed me wonderfully in less than a
wek. While I kept hard at work my
back did not hurt me a bit. I can't
say enough for Doan’s Kidney Pills
and have advised many sufferers to go
to the Bexar Drug Co. and procure
Doan's Kidney pills.” Statement made
May 1 1902.
CONFIRMED AFTER TWO YEARS
On Julj 29 1905 Mr. Hull being in-
terviewed again said: ‘‘Since I made
my former statement I have had no
suffering whatever from kidney trou-
ble and am glad to credit Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills for a permanent cure.’’

take no other.
and will fight to the last ditch against
a lunacy commission.
Another point that is being dischss-
< d is the legal standing of the mar-
riage between Thaw and Evelyn Nes-
bit. Both Dr. Evans and Dr. Wagner
Lave testified that they believed Thaw
was of unsound mind when he signed
the will and codicil on the night of
April 4 1905. This was the day of
the marriage.
Thaw's Marriage Illegal.
If Thaw was insane at that time he
was under the law of Pennsylvania
•incompetent to enter into a contract.
Marriage is under the law a con-
tract. If he was insane at the time
Lis marriage would be void not void-
able at the pleasure of one of the
parties but actually void under the
law This is only one of the peculiar
aspects of the case which are inter-
esting lawyers and followers of the
ease in general.
AGAIN GREEN-
GAYNOR CASE
CONVICTED SAVANNAH HARBOR
CONTRACTORS APPEAL ON 200
ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR.
New Orleans March 5. —The cele-
brated case of Benjamin D. Green
and John T. Gaynor charged with
conspiracy against the United States
government was called for argument
here today before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. They were
sentenced to four years' imprison-
ment each and to pay a fine of $575-
000 which equals the entire amount
paid them by the government for the
Savannah harbor work. They are
now in jail at Macon pending the re-
sult of the present appeal.
Before the case was called today
attorneys for Green and Gaynor an-
nounced that the appeal was based
on nearly 200 assignments of error
classified under 15 subjects includ-
ing extradition proceedings statutes
of limitations the question whether
New York or Georgia courts had ju-
risdiction and the claim that a jury
which convicted them was not legal-
ly qualified.

door and blew out the light and lay
down on the floor for two or three
minutes.”
“Were you scared?”
“Yes I was afraid that a loose bullet
would come into my house ’’
The witness here said that he some-
times got mixed on the meaning of
English words. He can't read English
verv well.
"How many men did you see shoot-
ing at the time of the first shots?"
"There seemed to be four or six
guns firing but I couldn't see the
men..”
“How long after this did you see
those men jump the wall?”
“About a minute. I had my head
out of the door at that minute."
“Are you sure you saw these meu
jump the wall?
"Yes.”
Colonel Glenn here pointed out
what looked to be a difference be-
tween the former and the present tes-
t'.monv of the witness.
"How many did you see jump the
wall?”
15 or 20 Jumped Wall.
“I cannot say. Maybe fifteen or
twenty.”
The witness said that he thought no
one fired from directly in front of his
house. “About two months ago I
found a bullet hole in my house that
I bad not seen before.”
He thought about fifteen shots were
fired in the alley beside his house.
I'he men Appeared to be firing as they
walked toward town. He saw neither
the men nor the rifle in their hands
while they were firing.
“Did you later seen men with
guns?”
"I looked out of my back window
and saw men with guns. They did not
stop but kept moving forward. I saw
their clothing.”
“It that the only place where you
saw these men clearly enough to dis-
tinguish their clothing?”
“Yes. sir.”
"Describe the clothing of these
men.”
“Their climes were of light color."
“Can you describe this clothing
more accurately?”
“No. sir.”
“How many of these men did you
see?"
“Four or five. They had guns.”
Men Were Crouching. •
The witness showed the court how
•he men were walking along in a
eroughing position.
"Did you hear any men come back
along this alley after the firing
ceased?”
“I heard a noise and thought it to
be the soldiers returning."
“How long after- you lasjt heard
firing did you hear them return?” •
“I think about five minutes."
“What were you doing at that
time’"
"I was just going to sleep."
"When did you hear men go on Eliz-
abeth street?”
“Shortly after the first firing I
hefird steps going that way on Fif-
teenth street.”
"Before the men jumped the wall
did vou hear a bug'e call?”
“I think I heard a bugle at the time
th>-v were jumping the wall.”
The court then took a recess until
2 o'clock.
The war department has refused to
send Major Penroses witnesses. There
are fourteen of these negro soldiers.
Major Penrose will have to put up tho
transportation money. The soldiers
will re-imburse him and the govern-
ment will pay them the amount. This
will mean a considerable expense for
Major Penrose.

Nervous
Indigestion
The action of diges-
tion is controlled by
nerves leading to the
stomach. When they are
weak the stomach is de-
prived of its energy. It
has no power to do its
work. If you want per-
manent relief you must
restore this energy. Dr.
Miles’ Nervine restores
nervous energy and gives
the organs power to per-
form their functions.
“For many years I was an acuts
sufferer from nervous indigestion; at
times 1 was so despondent life seemed
almost a burden. I tried all kinds of
remedies and various physicians with
little or no relief until one night last
summer I saw Dr. Miles’ Nervine ana
Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to
make one more trial which I did in
the purchase of one bottle of Nervine
and one of Heart Cure. In a few days
I began to feel better which encour-
aged me so much that I continued the
ne until I had taken more than
a dozen bottles. I am very much im-
proved in every wav; in body mind
and spirits since. I make a special
Tolnt to recommend the medicine ana
feel a sincere pleasure In knowing
that several persons have been bene-
fited throurh mv recommendations. *•
