Fate of the Hatfield Gang.
LIFE SENTENCES FOR NoUR, DEATH FOR ONE
AND THE OTHERS IN JEOPARDY.

LIFE SENTENCES FOR NOUR, DEATH FOR ONE
AND THE OTHERS IN JEOPARDY.
Sheriff W. H. Maynard, of Pike county,
XIV, accompanied by several other officers,
arrived at Lexington, in sthat State, Satur-
day night with Will Hatfield, Alex, Messer,
Plyant Mahon aud Doc. Mahon, all of
whom have just been adjudged guilty of
murder and sentenced for life to the Ken
lucky penitentiary. These men are mem
bers of the Hatfisld faction, and were tried
for killing Richard Tolbert and Randolph
MCCOY in the famous mountain feud be-
tween these parties not long ago. OF the
four Alex. Messer will be taken to Frank
fort at once to serve out his sentence, while
the others will remain at Lexington in Jail
for the present until their cases can be ia
ken before the Court of Appeals, they hav-
ing been granted a stay of proceedings for
sixty days. OF the other members of this
faction Eisen Mounts has just been sen
fenced to be hanged December 3rd, while
Sam Mahon and Charles Gillespie are yet
to bs tried, they are now confined in the
Pike county Jail charged with the same Of
Tense.
A Lexington dispatch to the New York
Herald Saturday says "The conviction OF
the men virtually puts an end to the famous
vendetta, which was probably the most no.
torious of Kentucky's mountain wars, as
out of il grew the famous habeas corpus
proceedings which threatened at one time
to strain the friendly relations between
West Virginia and this State. The verdict
upon that occasion was IN favor of Ken
lucky, hence the result above stated. Frank
Philips, one of the men who participated iu
the kidnapping proceedings at that time,
came here with the prisoners to-day as an
officer. 1t was he who killed two of their
number who were attempting to escape. 1t
is safe to say that the country where this
band committed its depredations will rest
easy for while at least, until the surviving
members of the band can rally forces, which
promises at present to be far away in the
future.

AN EMINENT DIVINE TO WHOM THE BIBLE
STORY DID NOT APPLY.

AN EMINENT DIVINE TO WHOM THE BIBLE
STORY DID NOT APPLY.
North Carolina propably never produced
an ADLER speaker than DR.. Francis L.
Hawkes., who quarter of century ago
was pastor of Grace Episcopal Church,
New York. Short, thick-set, swarthy,
blacked-eyed, and black haired, he was
a striking parsonage. He was not only
great pulpit orator, but considered the best
reader in the New York Episcopacy. His
rather luxurious family deferred him from
accepting a bishopric, which would have
been otherwise rendered. One day, says
the Washington Post, a delegation from
Buffalo church waited upon and invited
him to accept d passionate in that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory, the question of acceptance
narrows down to a business matter" said
DIR. Hawkes.. "What salary do you
offer?'
cdr. Hawkes." said the spokesman,
1--WE recognize that you have high reputa-
ton and are willing to be liberal. Oar
recent pastor has received $4,000, but on
account of your standing we have decided
to offer you $780,"
'My good man," cried the Doctor,
gasping, edo you know what salary l am
receiving here?"
'fNo, Sir"
81 get $4,000 and this parsonage, ard
as have an expensive family, do not see
my way clear to accept your Offer"
The spokesman looked rather sheepish,
but made another essay:
''If we had known that fact, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked elsewhere;
but you should remember that the work of
the Lord must be done, and as for providing
for your family, you know the story of the
ravens"
''Now, my friends" responded the
clergyman, quizzically, 81 have made the
Bible my study ever since 1 was twenty
eight. 1 have read it through carefully
and prayerfully over hundred times. I
remember the raven incident perfectly, but
nowhere can l find any reference to the
Lords providing for young Hawkes."

TRAGEDY WITH A CoRPULENT WOMAN
AND SMALL GIRL FOR CHARACTERS.
A Farnam street woman, whose stoutness
makes her susceptible to the heat, stayed at
home from church last evening" and, IN the
company of her Swear old daughter and
palm leaf fan, prepared to enjoy quiet
evening upon the front porch.
Unfortunately the S-year-old was in
talkative mood and the following unseason-
able dialogue took place:

The stout woman famed vigorously.
"Hush, darling; it is too heavy for sdch
weather. will wear it next winter.
"And will you buy me little muff next
winter, with fur all around the holes where
you put your hands through"
The stout woman's fingers adhered 10
the handle of her fan.
''Be quiet, dear; can't tell what shall
do next winter" ,,
"I'd like nice white woolly hood, too"
The crimp came out of the stout woman
bangs as she said:
s'Well, do not think about 1t now.
''Ma, may bring the bear-skln rug out
to sit on?'
The tormented mother moved uneasily
in her willow chair.
'.Do anything you like, but don't bother
me.'
81 guess I'll bring the afghan, too"
There was short silence.
s'Ma, do you remember when we had that
lovely CRATE fire last fall, used to lie on
this rug with the afghan over me and warm
my toes by the hour?"
The stout woman's feet burned and be-
gan to ache.
evil you stop talking? I will not heal
another word.
A long pause brought temporary relief te
the suffering mother.
"Ma, mosquito bit my ear. If only
had my wadded ear muffs that match my
blue plush cloak, they couldn't hurt me
then, could they?"
The 9-year-old giggled, but the stout wo
man made no remark.
"Ma, my slippers pinch so; may l put or
my crocheted bedroom shoes?"
eff you speak again you shall go to bee
| Immediately"
Another short silence.
sMa, if go to bed so early must l have
a hot water bottle like did when | had {
sore throat and you put red flannel aroun(
it?''
The stout woman's collar wlted and the
S-year-old was sent upstairs.
| Over the bannisters there came one more
question: =,
"Ma, must have my pink cretonne quill
over me tonight"
Theu the stout woman sought the waite
cooler and bandaged her head with damn
cloth. Omaha World.

NEW ENDING TO A SUMMER FLIRTA-
TION.

He met her at the mountains.
A maiden young and fair.
And forming her acquaintance,
He f1irted with her there.
They roamed the hills together,
They wander through the vale,
And there to her he whispered
Loves sweet and tender tale.
The maiden did not chide him.
She did not say him nay,
But said she'd give an answer
To him some future day,
He met her in the city,
This maiden young and fair;
Did she receive his greeting
With cold and naughty stare?
Did she attempt to pass him,
His outstretched hand ignore,
And say. do not think, sir,
We ever met before?
Oh, no, she smiled upon him.
Her hand she let him press,
Responded to his greeting
With words of friendliness.
The maiden knew he loved her,
And loved the youth did she:
The salegirl and the barber
Will shortly welded be.

Spare our loved ones. Hear the pleading
That goes up from aching hearts,.
But grim death our plea unheeding,
Pierces with his fatal dart
Those who fain with US would tarry,
Those we long SO much to keep,
And ere long their forms we carry
To the grave SO dark and deep.
Pleading with death avails nothing. We
must do something to ward off the dart that
he aims at those we love. We must pro-
tect them from him. When the hacking
cough, the hectic flush, or pain in the side
or chest gives indication of a consumptive
tendency, act promptly. Go to your drug
gist and get bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This remedy allays the
inflammation of the delicate lung tissues. 1t
heals the irritated parts 1t strengthens
the blood and tones up the debilitated sys-
tenn, and in this way death can be forced to
relinquish his hold upon our friend. 1t is
guaranteed to cure, if taken in time and
given fair trial, or money paid for it will
be refunded.
