ANDERSONS AGONY OVER.
He 10 Sentenced to Two Years Hard
Labor in the Penitentiary.
Mad. Wells Wants His Case 10 Go to the Unl-
ted States Circuh Court.

1t was about 1925 o'clock yester-
day morning when Judge Whitaker
called T. &. Anderson from the dock
to hear his sentence. Four ola jury
in the case of the State vs. Nike
McCool had Just been impaneled,
but the course Of the trial had been
stopped, and a deputy went to the
dock to bring Anderson forth. He
came out looking much excited, and
evidently under great excitement.
After waiting some time for the
Assistant Attorney General, he ar
rived, and Judge Whitaker took up
the question presented BY the mo-
ton in arrest of Judgment in the
Anderson case. The following were
the grounds:
That there was a variance between
the original information and the
amendment allowed to be filed ma.
terial to the merits and constitutes
a new charge, and therefore the pro
ceedings are null and void.
That Anderson is not charged to
have falsely and feloniously uttered
aud published as true q certain al.
tered document in any official ca
pacity whatsoever.
That defendant had never a pre-
liminary examination before a mag.
istrate.
That the prosecution should have
been by indictment instead Of infor
nation.
The Judge reviewed each ground
separately, and answered them un'
der the law conclusively. He then
overruled the motion.
Making q motion with his hand,
the Judge requested Anderson to
stand up at the bar. The Rcturner
stood up.
Judge Whitaker-"Have you any
reason or anything to say why the
sentence Of the law. should not now
be passed upon your
Anderson showed much excite
ment and could hardly speak, but
after considerable effort, and with
much evidence of anger, said:
Sir-You are about to act upon

Saturday night couple of colored
men attempted to take a skiff belong
ing to Mr.. Henry Wells who lives on
the opposite side of the Kanawha
River. Mr.. Wells caught them in the
act and demonstrated with them, but
they replied in insulting language
and threatened him if he interrered
with them. Thereupon he went
down to the river to protect and save
his property, and the colored men
becoming very insulting, he drew
revolver and fired twice at them,
when one of them, namedTom. Bates,
picked up rock and struck Mr..
Wells on the jaw knocking him sense
less to the ground, where was found
soon after by some Of his friends
This created quite an excitement,
and all night long the perpetrator was
hunted by an Infatuated party of
white men, but he made his escape,
and has not since been seen in these
parts. This fellow isquite desper'
ado we are told, and was run away
from Middleport Ohio, for making
similar assault upon white man, at
that place.

A Texas Desperate.

1t happened right here in San Anto-
Mo. One of the parties was consump-
tive from Connecticut, and the other, a
commercial traveller from New Jersey.
They were stopping at the same hotel
in adjoining rooms. The drummer was
out of money, but had a splendid pistol.
He said to himself: "I wonder if that
hungry-looking Texan next door don't
want to buy pistol;'' SO putting the
weapon in his breast pocket, he walked
into his neighbours room. The invalid
from Connecticut had been reading
about noted Texas desperate, for
whom there was large reward offered,
and he fancied the description fitted his
unknown neighbor.
Consequently, when the New Jersey
drummer entered the room, shut the
door, and put his hand in his breast
pocket, the northern invalid began to
SILVER, and think of his past life.
What-do-you-want?" asked the in
valid.
The drummer drew large, ivory
handled revolver answering the de-
scription of the one the celebrated des-
perado used on strangers), and said ::
g L-want S25 for this pistol?"
The trembling hand of the invalid
could hardly find its way into his
pocket.
cit is a good pistol. Itnever misses
fire." said the drammer, bringing it to
a half-cock.
"J-J-Jake yer-yer-money," gasped
the invalid.
The drummer took the money, laid
the pistol on the table and went out.
As soon as the door was shut the in
valid from Connecticut breathed huge
sigh of relief, and said to himself, ''I'm
glad the Texas desperate took my
money What a country this is when
you are robbed in broad daylight in a
hotel! III leave tomorrow for the
North
As soon as the drummer got into his
room, he remarked, 90 I'm in luck I'm
glad that old Texas ruffian took my pis,
toll. I wonder who he is going to try il
on I'm going to get out of here in the
morning, now that I've got money tc
pay my hotel BILL -
And next morning both went off or
the same train. In about two weeks we
will scan the Northern papers for story
about how noted Texas desperate rob-
bed an invalid in San Antonio hotel

Dyspepsia and Drunkenness.

A bad taste in the mouth or desire
to spit are unerring indications of dys-
pepsia. A person whose digestive or
gans are in healthful condition, has
clean taste in the mouth at all times,
with perfectly sweet breath, and after
eating a meal of wholesome food, has
no inclination to hawk and spit, nor dis
position to drink or chew something for
the purpose of getting rid of the sour
saliva which fills the throat and mouth
of the victim of indigestion. Hundreds
of people who gorge themselves with
pancakes and molasses every morning
for breakfast, or feel aggrieved if they
can't every noon cram chunk of pie
atop of their dinners, vauntingly boast
of their freedom from dyspepsia; yet
each and every one of the deluded NOR
tails is anxious after eating to get hold,
as soon as possible, of cigar, chew
of tobacco, a piece of candy, glass of
water, a nut, bit of stick, or any thing
else that will promote flow of saliva,
and partially counteract the unpleasant
effects of Indigestion, by removing the
nasty, sour taste arising from the food
that lies indigested and fermenting in
the stomach.
Much of the drunkenness with which
our country is cursed has its origin in
the kitchen. The messes concOcted by
the average American housewife, and
by courtesy called food, are enough to
derange any decent digestive apparatus;
and a demoralized stomach is a much
greater foe to good intentions and virtu-
Gus conduct, than a carnal and unre-
generate heart. In my judgment, the
only temperance crusade that will ever
be a permanent success must be inaugu-
rated and supported by higher order
of cooking. So long as our wives,
mothers and sisters are content to re-
main in ignorance of the best methods
of making bread, cooking meats and
vegetables, and preparing tea and cof-
fee, while Bridget runs the culinary de-
partment and endeavors to defraud our
stomachs with badly prepared food
heavily veneered with cake, pie, pudding,
etc., shall not look very hopefully for
a decrease of intemperance.
A stomach free from indigestion,
when supplied with wholesome, well
cooked food at regular intervals, two or
three times a day, demands nothing be-
tween meals. 1t performs its functions
properly after each meal, without pain
or trouble, and then, like tired infant,
rests serenely till recuperated, or until
the system needs more nOurishment;
while on the other hand the dyspeptic
stomach is in a morbid condition and
continually Graves something to appease
the uncomfortable feeling that is unap-
peasable. And from candy, chewing
gum, tobacco, ETC., the descent to ale,
lager-beer and whisky, especially for
the male sex, is not very difficult. Let
us begin at the right end of the matter,
and remove .intemperance by removing
the cause that leads to it-badly pre-
pared food and its inevitable handmade,

And life poem for we had not snng.
Now is the world grown small, and we there
Fill with wise toll and woe each flying day !;

And heaven is bare. for God is far away.
Omy child love, can not you come again,
And look on you with grave. innocent

Your God has many angels; I would fain
Woo for one hour one angel from the skies.

And laughing lead me from the care and

Lay on my heart those small hands tenderly
And lovingly to let the whole world in.
