Sentence of A. Leonard Meyer---The District Attorney Counsels Clemency "A Heart Broken Wife--Appea1 To the Supreme Court.

Only few people had assembled ln the District Court room at ten minutes before nine this morning. In low voice Judge Kibbey announced his de cision denying the motion of MT. Meyers attorneys for new trial. De fendant was then called to the bar ana replied almost inaudibly to the usual question if he had anything to say why sentenceshould not be pronounced. Judge Edwards, bis counsel, made few remarks, suggesting that severe sentence was hardly called for. About this time the wife and the son ot the
 defendant entered.

Parents should be careful that their children do not contract colds during the fall or early winter months. Such colds weakens the lungs and air pass ages, making the child much more likely to contract other colds during the winter. It is this succession of colds that cause catarrh and bronchi- tis or paves the way for consumption. Should cold be contracted, lose no time but cure it as quickly as possible.

CONTRARY to general expectation, but in exact accordance with the ex- pressed prediction of THE ENTERPRISE, the jury in the trial of the alleged robbers of Paymaster Wham acquitted
 the prisoners and they have been re- stored to liberty. The trial was long and tedious one, and the evidence, from it's positive and contradictory nature, certainly involved great deal of perjury.
