The Lesson Of the Cincinnati Riot.

Wrong provokes wrong. Disregard
of the obligations of law ON the part of
citizens, usually denominated of the bet
ter class. encourages and permits law
lessness on the part of what are known
as the dangerous classes. The avoid
ance of jury duty by men under various
pre-. exits throws the administration of JUS
tice in vast majority of or minal cases
into the hands of ignorant. irresponsi-
BILE and corrupt persons The growing
tendency OF the courts to regard techni-
cal pleas, often to the notorious defeat
of Justice lessons the respect of the
body of the people for the constituted
authorities. The evils here noted have
always existed, but, like others, they
have times in which they appear to pre-
vail in a peculiar manner. The present
seems to be time in which they have
an alarming growth. Recent events in
Illinois have moved the people of one
locality to call a public meeting to de-
clare their Indignation at the miscar-
riage of Justice and the inefficiency of
the courts. Pennsylvania has. within
the past year, witnessed notable and
disgraceful deeds of violence for which
the ccur.s utterly tailed to apply any
remedy. Cincinnati is now the
scene of appalling events. whose first
cause was the laxity of the adj
mini>tration or total failure of justice in
criminal cases. The course of events
in these States, and in others, ought to
be warning to the officers and courts
throughout the country of the danger
lurking in every community where
CRIME prevails in an unusual degree.
We cam ot admit for q moment that vi
olence or Incorporate public demon
strations are proper or effective RENE
dies Tor the evils which are com planned
Of I hey are rather the confession on
the part of the people that they have
neglected the duties of citizenship in
many important respects and that they
are attempting by spasmodic PROBES
sion of virtue and loud assertions of in
dignation not wholly sincere, to rem
eay wrongs which could not. without
their own fault, ever have existed. We
can see but one possible good to result
from the appalling crime of the Cincin-
natl riot: 1t may quicken other commu-
mites to the performance of the constant
duties of civil life, rather than to wait
till the social fabric is so disturbed as to
call for indignant extra judicial action.

TO OUR READERS.

The proprietors Of ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsrERs and BRANDRETH's PILLS will
publish for the next few weeks in this
paper some of the many cures that these
remedies have effected.
If you are in need of medicine give them
. trial. They guarantee them to be made
of the purest and best drugs that money
can buy. powerful to cure, yet perfectly
harmless.
ALLcocK's Porous PLASTER is the stand
ard of excellence and like all good things
largely initiated. The public is especially
cautioned against all so-called porous plas-
tiers, none of which contain the healing
gums that Allcock's does, but are made
from poor and cheap materials and simply
gotten up to sell on the reputation Of the
genuine article.
OPINION OF DIR. MOTT. LATE Gov
ERNMENT CHEMIST, ON ALLCOCK'S
POROUS PLASTER.
My investigation Of ALLcocK's Porous
PLASTER shows it to contain ualud6le and
essential ingredients not present in any
other Plaster. These ingredients are so
perfectly proportioned that the ALLcoCK's
Porous PLASTER will not cause Blisters or
Excessive Irritation, and find it superior
to and more efficient than any other Plas.

A Remarkable Weapon.

Captain Bob Clark. deputy jailor, now
has in his possession pistol that many
relic hunters would give much to own.
1t is the pistol used by Jesse James at
the Gads Hill robbery. The history of
the weapon from the time it left jesse
James down to when Clark fell heir to
it is as follows: James gave the pistol
to his trusted friend Lddell, who had
it at the time be was killed in the North
field Minnesota bank robbery. A gen
tleman named Mayfeld, who was one Of
the party who repulsed the robbers,
took the pistol from the dead body OF
Liddell after the fight was over. May.
field moved to California and with his
pistol settled at Kernville. Sometime
ago the Vasquez gang raided Kernville
killed Maytield's partner and carried of
the pistol. Vasques gave the weapon to
friend named Chavez, who one day lost
il and it was found by Mexican, who
took it to the owner. Chavez was so
much pleased with the Mexican's hon.
esty that he presented him with the pis-
tol. A short while back this same Mex
ican was arrested and lodged in Jail.
While confined Captain Clark did him
some kindnesses. and ont OF gratitude
was presented with the famous pistol.
The Captain prizes it very highly, and
says he will never part with it except to
Jesse James widow. 1t is a fearful
looking instrument, and it is MS wonder
that people quailed before it when it was
in the grasp of the formidable Jesse.
Captain Clark taks great pleasure in
showing it to curious people, and has re-
fused large sums offered for it by relic
hunters.

Almost cremared.


A curious case of an attempt to get
away with an officer took place recently
at Pomona. A hay stack had been at
tached for debt, and an officer placed
in charge Of the property. While the
said officer lay in his blankets asleep on
the haystack, some evil minded person
set FIRE to the stack and disappeared in
the shades of midnight. 1t is needless
to say that the officer gathered tn Q
drapery OF his couch about him" and re-.
moved to windward, while the laughing,
leaping flames transmitted the stack
into It's original elements, on which an
attachment for personal property would
not apply. Next time it is hoped that
the life the Off ,er as we'll as the straw
stack will be well insured in time Of
peace, "when the evil days come not
aud the time draweth nigh" in which
there is no pleasure iu being roasted in
