DYspep psia


Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, ETC., are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
~ have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had
but little appetite, and what did eat distressed
me- or did me little good. In an hour after eating
I would experience faintness or tired, allgone
feeling as though I had not eaten anything.
Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
of good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving had previously
experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired,
all.gone feeling: have felt so much better since
I took Hoods Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to
recommend it." G. 4. PAGE, WatertowD, Mass.

the bull by the horns, they propose to
do their own thinking and their own
acting. Tillman will be the next gov
ernor.
We have not heard word recently
from our business men on the rail
road question. They seem to have
fallen into fatal comatous condition,
and any effort to arouse them is una
vailing. Are we to sit IDLY by, not
making an effort for self-protection
and preservation, and see all our best
sra6e leave us? If ever any action is
proposed, now is the time. The rail
road can be built with home capital if
necessary, but if our business men
had as much enterprise in them as
would rattle in the hull of tobacco
seed, they could get large part of
the money elsewhere. It is only eight
miles to Silver, and by getting the
Harvin Brothers interested, Or rather
by showing them that the other busi-
ness men of this town are interested
in this road, they (the Harvin Broth
ers) would furnish most of the capital
The road can be easily built, if our
business men would only take hold of
it, but unless they change their tactics
they Will continue to sit idly and list
lessly by, and see their town go to
perdition before they will get of their
seats to push the town forward. Some
thing should be done, be done at once,
or our town will assuredly 60 back
ward in every respect. On the other
hand, 8 bright future is ahead of us,
If We will only seize the golden op-
portunities offered US.

enlightened Judge in unravelling this web
of falsehood and i'll dealing with the sophls-
try of astute counsel, by which they are lia-
bic to be led astrays
Under such system of trial it is not sur
prising that the best of juries render erro-
neous verdicts, and that murderers go un-
whipt of Justice. This triumph is pleasing
to the heinous offender and to his astute and
jealous counsel, but ruinous to the interests
of society, and damaging to our Courts of
Justice. The frequency CT foul murders
and the ease with which the bloody assassin
triumphs at the bar Of our Courts is dis
grace to our civilization and foul blot upon
the administration Of our laws.
# at the first trial the accused fails to Sc
cure an acquittal, his aim is at least to secure
a miStrial, knowing full Well that at the sec
ond trial his chances of escape will be greatly
increased, and in this he is rarely mistaken.
These acquittals and mistrlalS can Ill every
instance be traced to the false testimony OF
the accused and the rule requiring uuanim-
ity III the verdict. The innocent man would
rarely object to the verdict of L majority of
two-thir6s or three-tourths of the jury, but
the guilty man would never consent to the
rule of the majority.
He who hath his cause just will cheerfully
abide by such rule, but he who has broken
his covenant, or has slain his man, will in
sist upon that rule which affords him the
greatest facility to escape. No system OF
trial is pleasing 70 him, but that system will
be most acceptable whose meshes he can cas-
lily break through.
The rule of the majority is in keeping
with the genius Of our Government and pre-
walls in all its branches and departments,
executive, Legislative and judicial, except
in trial by jury.
In the Government of the United States
majority OF the Electoral College elects the
President, majority Of the State Legisla-
ture selects Senators, a majority of voters
elects Congressman, majority in each
branch Of Congress makes the Jaws, and Il

How to Tell Good Bananas.

d. B. Welsh, the steward of the steamer
Savannah, says: Not one fruit buyer in a
hundred, unless he has been brought up in
the far south, knows how to select bananas
when purchasing them by the bunch It's
a very simple thing Look at the thick
end of the branch on which the bananas
hang. II it is green the bananas will ripen
slowly and lusciously, and will be of good
flavor. If the end of the branch is black
the bananas themselves will blacken after
q day or two, and will ripen too fast and
rot. Even if they are plucked the day
after they are bought, and eaten, they will

REFUSAL TO DISINTER THE CROUCHEs
rRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT J

IRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
MoNoNGAHELA CITY, May 1S.-West
passed a bad night in Jail here. He said
this morning that he could not sleep we'll.
He lies on his cot most of the time during
the day. but whether he sleeps or not cannot
be told. The woman, Annie Brundage, is
not locked up, but is housed and fed in City
Hall. She could not be driven away. She
says she will stick to Bill as long as there is
button on his coat. She was asked to-day
what West did with the clothes he took from
her. She said she put them, hat, coat, vest
and pants, in the trunk.
West did not want her to put them in the
trunk, when she said, "You seem to be aw-
full afraid of getting them clothes in my
trunk; believe you want to keep them out
so you can skip out and leave me-"
Thereupon he told her to put them in If
she wanted to so badly. She did not know
that they were ever taken out When told
that the coat had been found in the attic Of
the Nickel Plate restaurant at Beaver Falls
she expressed surprise.
Your correspondent visited Captain Paul
sons stock farm to-day. The Captain de-
scribed West accurately, and identified his
picture. 1t was about $50 o'clock when
West passed his place. He stopped in the
road west of the house and asked if he was
on the right road to Monongahela City, and
how far it was. Then he stopped at the
house for drink and asked the same ques-
tions. Those who know West we'll, say he
is intimately acquainted with all this
country.
He was first noticed on the pike by a
farmer living about mile west OF Coul-
sons A mile further west at Ginger Hill,
where there are gas wells and a small settle
ment, nobody saw him. This supports the
theory that he made bee line from Bent
leysville to the pike and struck it about
three miles west of this city. District At
torney Parker, from Washington, is ex-
pected to be here tomorrow 10 conduct the
preliminary hearing. Some 20 witnesses
have been summoned and the investigation
will be very full. HAssLER.
