TRIAL OF INSANE CRIMINALS.

The inpcrrection of all human
laws arc never so clearly apparent
as when occasion for Il practical
test is presented. For many de.
cndcs the statutes Of this state have
provided that where the evidence
indicates that Il person convicted for
crime Is insane, the sheriff shall
cmpauol a jury and cause an inquiry
into the sanity of the prisoner to
be madc. But very little else can
he found in it. There is nothing
Of a definite character as to the
rights of the person being tried
in fact, leaves the entire matter OF
trial in uncertainty. There is no
provision for council representing
the party interested, for payment OF
costs or for Il Judge to preside at
the hearing, and in consequence Of
all this the trial before the sheriff
is nothing moro than Il trial before Il
Justice of the peace, where the at
torueys for the state and the de.
Tense assert thoir ideas of the law
and leave the jury in absolute doubt
as 10 the same. If it were the in

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes IN weather in the
latter part of the winter and early spring
are Il source Of colds and coughs. This
season is II particularly dangerous one
for persons with weak lungs or delicate
constitution. A slight cold is likely to
become Il serious one and the cough that
follows is the one great cause of the
many deaths from consumption in the
early spring. Never neglect n cold or
cough. Keep Il reliable remedy Oh haud
and check the first cough, that may letd
to 1mption. As such Il rem }lY the
medicine called Kemp's Btlsam is
strongly recommended. For every form
of throat and lnug disorder, incIuling
the la grippe cough, ct1np nri cOnSlp.
ton In first stages, it probably has nc
equal anywhere. Get Il bottle to-day.
