War Among the Foot Racers Under Indictment.Colonel Brewer Reported Ready ta Turn State’s Evidence forSake of Escaping Penalties-b ry(Springfield, lit.1, New,)There has been a break up in the foot racers skindicate whose trial comes next after Watts case. Alderman Thomas Brewer, who was one of the captains of the industry and John Connors have fallen out and Brewer has offered, it is understood, to go on the stand for the State and tell all “ if promised immunity from punishment. State’s Attcrney Shutt has refused to make any such terms with Brewer.The former king has moved out of the Connors building and the two never speak as they p Connors has told Brewer he must not put his head inside the door unless he wants to leave it behind him when he goes out.The affable Thomas prefers to keep his bead on his shoulders and seps away from Mr. ConDors, who is also affable as a rule.Most of this occurred before the last election.Wore the jury probably did M much as anything to cause the indictment to be returned.With the condition of affairs existing among the members of the skiudicate there will be interesting developments it is said at the trial of the cages. Connors has notified his lawyers that he wants and expects to have a separate trial. He will object to being tried with Bi iwror any of the others in the indicted bunch.Cures Cancer and Blood Poison.Brewer, so the story goes, was making a book on the race, using the Connors resort as the shearing The play was not very good the house was getting some benefit from the patronage at the bar. The book was cutting in on the Lane busiaesB on the races and Brewer was sent for and offered 40 per cent to cut in. He agreed to it without consulting his tan lam partner. The bantam got onto the plans of Mlis Irridescent Overcoats” and called him. The man with the big star and sparklers admitted it was true. “I am going Johnnie” he sang. “Well then take your doll rags” rejoined the bantam. This was a blow that the soft faced Alderman did not expect. He went to his knees, lie pleaded with Connors to let him remain until after the election. His removal from the ward and his change of base under these circumstances would out off a few yards of his political prestige in the Seventh. His plea was so touching that Johnnie’s heart melted and while in tears he told Thomas to remain, but after the lection he • uet go without the pain of ■? meeting. So afu-r the election Brewer sang one night “Good-by Johnnie Connors, I must leave you” and away he went.“Now don’t you show yourself in this plucc again, if you don't; want to lose your block,” was all that the fleeing figure heard.Brewer is still wearing last year’s block and it is presumed he has not showed up in Connor,s bailiwick.One thing has led to another and the feeling has become more and inoTc intense until Brewer, it is bruited about the streets, offered to turn State’s evidence and assist in seuding his old college churns to the stripes and short hair. The proposition has been made to Connors that he do the same thing aud put Mr. Brewer in jeopardy, but be does not oare to take this advantage of his fellows. Connors is very frank about the matter.He says the suckers came here expecting to do someone else and were themselves trimmed, and they are as guilty as any one and he will take bis^nedicine if it is dosed out to him.It is related by one of Connors’ friends that he advised Brewer if he must go before the grand jury to wear a blue gingham shirt and no collar and as old clothes as he could possibly get. But instead the Alderman appeared in hie corn pudding overcoat with a sparkler as big as a cut glass punch bowl and patent leather shoes and kid gtoves and a cane with a nugget of gold protruding from the top. He looked like an Indian prince at the court of St. James.His tDDearanoe' and attitudeIf you have blood poison producing eruptioos, pimples, ulcers swollen glands, bumps and risings, burning, itching skin, copper-colored spots or rash on the skin, mucous patches in mouth or throat, falling bair, bone pains, old rheumatism or foul catarrah, take Botanic Blood Balm (B.

Describe trouble and free medical advice also sent in sealed letter.Improvement Association’s Chance.The owners of the canning and ondy factory which was disiroyed by fire in Brookville a fe^ days ago, are contemplating ret ling at some other advantageous place. This industry, when running, employed about 200 people, and with proper encouragement and better location, could easily increase their force. An industry of even this magnitude is worth looking after. It would be a valuable addition to not only our city but to the country surrounding u, as the canning factory would buy their products. Our Improvement Association should waste no time in looking after this matter as other towns will be promptly in the field pressing their claims and offering inducements.TdepMar dim i» S •me Ape and 9,001 pert proijust •ent ally rino of 1 the prot dep«WW‘wasfeat!thenNMythunVepare man is a is ei bake isha. it orIt 1tractso biEtlwoullt; Enda And t fortuLaclt;.'UAMt(F.m.AlS‘S STOMACH AND L1VBR T.t ISLETS.Try them When you feel dull after eating When you have no appetite.When you have a bad taste in the mouth.When your liver is torpid.When your bowels are constipated.When you have a headaohe.When you feel bilious.They will improve your appetite, cleanse and invigorate your stomach aud regulate your liver and bowels.
