AN EDITOR IN LUcK.-St. Jacobs
Oil cures Rheumatism; Of this [ am
convinced. For two years | suffered
with Rheumatism in my left shoulder
and right arm, and last fall [ was in
capable Of attending to my duties, and
lay many night unable to sleep on
account Of terrible pains. A few
weeks ago a severe attack of this
trouble struck me, and this time
concluded to try the St. Jacobs Oil.
| must acknowledge, with but little
confidence in It's merits | freely con-
fess that the result has completely as
tonished me. The first application
relieved the pain very materially, and
the. continued use Of only two bottles
has completely cured me Of this chron-
ic evil, and that, after the most emf
nent physicians and their prescriptions
had been of no avail. therefore con-
slider it duty to publish the above
for the benefit of all sufferers with
Rheumatism and kindred complaints.

this morning to hold an inquest on 9

circumstances are as follows: Yester.
day evening, Mrs. W. j. Cordels
swore out a warrant for assault and
battery, before Esquire Quigley,
against her husband, w. j. Cordele,
stating that had it not been for the
presence of a Mrs. Robertson, he
would have choked her to death.
Mr.. Cordele heard of the warrant
being out for him, and made his ap-
pearance before Esquire Quigley late
in the evening, when he was al
lowed to go upon his own
recognizance to appear at ten o'clock
this morning. This morning he was
seen to go to Bionda's snack house on
Front street and get a cup # coffee,
and from there 10 Mr., Merrill, the
scale agent, whom he asked to loan
him ten dollars as he was to be tried
for assault and battery this morning
and might have to go TO Jail if he had
no money. He then went back to his
room owe 214 Front street and in a
few minutes screams were heard by
the neighborhood and anegro boy who
ran up to his room came back breath
and with starting eyes, informed
the crowd that a man was in the last
gasps of death up in that room"
Quigley was notified and sum
noning a jury, held an inquest, the
verdict being that w. j. Cordele
came to his death from some poison
ous substance, administered by his
own hand. When found
he was lying upon the
bed and a white substance resembling

hing a little crooked appears, too,

from the same glass and it

1IissIssippi Murder Case.

Counsellor Nat Taylor returned
last night from Pamela county, Miss.
where he has been engaged in the
trial Of the murder case of old man
VIM. Walker. Some three years ago,
the old man, aged and d~efenseless, was
taken from his house by two tramps
and literally chopped to pieces with
spades. The cold blooded williams
have escaped being brought to trial
till now, and public excitement and
sentiment is 50 strong against them
that conviction is almost a certainty.
