Laws Are Not Administe- ed With
the Object Of Giving Her
Justice.
But With the Intent to Prove That
the Man in the Case Is limo
cent and Pure.
Woman Shuns Her Fallen Sister, But
Courts Favors From the Guilty
Lord of Creation"
THERE'S JUSTICE IN HEAVEN

WEBSTER, KY, Jan. 10Th, 1S94.-Ob-
servation teaches many things; among
other things, it teaches how humanity
will deal with the unfortunate women;
and women, instead of taking lessons
from the Lords of Creation" and stand
ing by their sex, will only turn their
backs on our fallen sisters, and let them
go their way.
Let woman go astray and she is de-
serted. No difference how many friends
she may have possessed, they vanish as
il by magic; and she is left without a
counselor Then she has to seek COM
panions of lower element, and it is not
long till she sinks to the level OF her as
sociates. But on the other hand, the
man in the case is sought after and up
held by virtuous women, and made to
feel that no blame at all is resting upon
his shoulders; while his victim goes her
weary way and is being Stunned by all
her former friends, while her betrayer
still seeks other victims. 1t makes no
difference how young the girl is, it does
not lesson her crime.
wish could find words to express
my thoughts on the subject. Would
uphold vice in women? No, thousand
times no Neither do uphold vice in
man. A woman bears the stain till
death. Let man bear the stain also, and
be ostracised from society, and bear the
shame equally with woman. II a woman
takes her case to court she gets nothing
but black character A man can take
a little influence and money and find
witnesses in his behalf; and the unfortun-
ate victim comes away with darker
shadow hanging over her than ever.
Why will meie technically let Grim
nal go free? There is more energy ex-
erted to prove the guilty innocent than
to prove that he is guilty. l think a
mans character should be proved when
he seemingly" appears against a
woman.
The bible says OF case OF that kind,
"Let him that is without sin cast the
first stone, and not one stone was cast :"
How different it is now. Neither do
want the man punished and the woman
upheld. Let the punishment be equal.
Don't give the woman large amount of
damage; unless she be very poor, she
should not have any. Then the plea
that it is matchmaking scheme" would
be groundless. Let the courts take such
matters in hand and spare nothing that
will bring guilty parties to justice. The
prosecution will not do its duty IL ii fails
10 have every detail silted TO the bottom,
and use every bit OF evidence that can be
gotten, instead of trying TO shirk its duty
and by ignoring valuable evidence there :
by securing the guilty from punishment
A few sharp-nointed wiiticisrns is not
prosecution. II 1t were your daughter or
mine, and you or were the prosecutor,
would We spare any evidence? AS sure
as there is heaven and just God, Just
so certain will the betrayer and seducer
get his Just punishment

La grippe has got us.

Hayden Basham has a sick child.
Mrs 7. G. Jordan, who has been right
sick, We are glad to say, is convalescent.
"Bill" Pendleton was in town last
week. He says he and Mug Sewers are
politically dead.
The people are beginning to see that
Kentucky needs stock law, and believe
the time is ripe for some action to be TAX
en- in that direction.
There has been great amount of fall
and winter blowing done, and farmers
appear not to be disheartened over the
failures of the last few years.
Observation teaches us that the farmer
who has pleasure in putting in his whole
time on his farm, has his farm clear of
filth, has good fences and gates, fat stock
and mOcks at the cry of hard times. 1t
is the town farmer, the croaker, the goods
box whittier, the fellow that has no plea
sure in work that is the sufferer among
the agricultural classes
We heartily agree with Sirroco in re-
gard to correspondents cutting and slash
ing one another. As our regular cores
pendent has laid off, the mantle of Jour-
nalism, we will endeavor to give you the
happenings of this locality occasionally.
As this is not very newsy place, prob
ably our items will be few and far be-
tween.
We regret, as no doubt does Bro. |. C.
Argabright, also, that it became necessary
to eject those men from the church, but
the true servant of the master can not
hope to "sail through life on nowery
beds of ease" Duty requires him to
take positions sometimes that are unpop-
ular with the masses We have known
Bro. Argabright long and well, and these
times of vacillation demand many more
such men of religious valor, courage and
zeal, who will bravely stand for the
right, preach the old-fashioned religion,
make no concessions to the devil and
who, when they see the devil in the con-
gregation, and it becomes necessary to
kick him out, will not withhold their
feet.

Ran Away With the Money.

The Jockey Minstrels gave a good
show to big house last Saturday
night, and after the performance it
was found that the backer and his
wife had disappeared, leaving most
of the members of the company
penniless, and a weeks salary due.
Another performance was given on
Monday night to raise money to get
out Of town with, but not enough was
realized to pay the hotel bills. The
manager went to Wilkes Barre on
Tuesday to raise money. Some of
the musicians endeavored to sell
their instruments to get back to New
York. 1t is believed that the man
who ran off with this money was
concealed in room in the Exchange
Hotel all day Sunday. A couple
went there about midnight and regis
tered as G. Cowles and wife, and had
their meals sent up to the room on
Sunday. About four o'clock they got
team and were driven to Catawissa,
when they took the Pennsylvania
train to Sunbury.
On Tuesday Detective Mcpherson
came up from Northumberland with
power of attorney from the hacker,
who claimed to own the goods, to
seize the same and take them away,
but he was too late, as the goods were
attached by Mr.. Aurand and Mrs.
Phillips for board. The troupe got
away on Wednesday night, leaving
some of their baggage to pay board
bills.

which was recently given the train
wreckers De Camp and Mcconnell
is pronounced long term by some
folks, we find but, in view Of the
Nervousness Of the crime, anything
short of life Imprisonment at hard
labor is too short in our opinion. If
the perpetrator of single deliberate
murder must suffer the penalty of
death, why the train wrecker who
cares not how many he kills in con
sequence, should certainly never have
the second opportunity to wreck a
