degree against WIN Seruggs for killing
George Rutherford at Petty, on Novem-
Der 26a 1894, and assessed his punish
ment at seven years in the peniien-

than any tried here In years. Both
young men were of wealthy and re-
spectacle families. with an extensive
acquaintance and relationship. Some
hard feeling arose about ball. A few
nights afterwards Rutherford went
with party OF young men to Scruggs'

It and went home and called Ruther-
ford to one side. What TRANSFERRED no

Alvord.. Tex, Nov. 19.-tSpecial)-
Yesterday evening William AIRY, an
old and respected farmer, was shot
and killed by some unknown man.
AIRY had been to town. and when re-
turning home, at Sandy Crock. two

the body. the other through the neck.
AIRY walked to his horse, short dis
ance, and told his wife he WINS shot.

BASIS OF HER CLAIM.
ENGLAND's CLAIM, If ALLOWED,
TAKES RICH GOLD FIELDS
FROM THIS COUNTRY.
There Is Abundant Room for Trou-
BILE Up There, and 1t May
Come Yet.
BASIS OF HER CLAIM.

Port Townsend. Wash. Nov 19.-If
the British government insists upon
the permanent establishment of a
boundary line as marked by the en-
gineer corps, the city Of Juneau and
Island, where the richest gold mines
are located. win become u part of
the English territory.
Dr. Damson, chief engineer OF the
Canadian corps OF surveyors, made
scientific observations from a range OF
mountains which. together with the
treaty stipulations, are the foundation
upon which the claim is made. These
drawings clearly show the mining town
of Juneau to be fully several miles In
side of the British territory.
Not only that. but Chilicat pass. the
favorite and most generally Travelled
route to the Yukon mines. and the
large bays and inlets of Southeastern
Alaska, are close to this part. Loca-
ton of the boundary is based upon APP
parently clear words of the treaty of
February 2S, 1879, between RUSSIA ana
Great Britain.
A certified COPY of the instrument Is
in the hands of the British engineer
and clearly states that the boundary
line shah he from peak to peak along
the summit OF the mountain range
running parallel with the coast, pro-
viding the mountain range does not
exceed more than ten marine leagues
from the ocean. In which latter case
the lSundary line shall he parallel
with the wings OF the coast. and which
shall not exceed the distance OF ten
marine leagues therefrom.
This is taken by the Canadian en-
gineers to mean ten marine leagues
from the sea coast, and not ten miles
from the shore OF the various bays and
lnlets. The principal inlets. therefore,
would be wholly In British territory,
which, with few outlying Islands, y
all the territory the Canadians VIII
concede the United States is entitled
to.
This will take from Alaska also a
large portion OF Berna bay, where the
rich gold mines are now being worked.
II will also put into their territory two
of the largest canneries situated IN
Southeast Alaska.

IN sentencing Morris Schoenholz to forty
eight years imprisonment for arson, Judge
Fitzgerald has done the community great
benefit. A man who for personal gain, will
risk the lives as well as property Of others
should be placed where he can do no further
harm, and, as the Judge justly remarked
when sentencing this miscreant, ''he is en-
titled to no consideration whatever upon any
grounds and the safety of the community
requires that he be imprisoned during life,
The minimum sentence will be practically
for his life, but am aware that at some
future time it may be said gave him the
lowest sentence could under the law and
that might be used in his behalf. l will
therefore give him more than the minimum
sentence" The action of Judge Fitzgerald
will tend to repress the crime of arson in
New York.

OUR BLOOD FILTERS.
BLOOD SHOULD BE PURE
AS WATER.
What Keeps it Pure and What Happens
When it is Impure.
Our Natural Blood PurifieS Our Kid
neyS How They Keep us Well,
and How We Ought to
Keep Them Well.

What makes o sallow complexion, gout.
rheumatism, muscular weakness. depression,
lack of ambition, anemia, chlorosis OF green
sickness nervous headache dizziness, hys-
terra, Brights disease, gravel, sleeplessness,
pain in the back, diabetes, etc. ?
1t is the failure of our blood filters.
Our blood should be as free from impurities
as drinking water
If it becomes impure we fall sick.
Our kidneys are simply blood filters. They
filter the impurities out of the blood. That
is why it is 80 dangerous to have kidney
disease, because when our kidneys are sick
they cannot keep our blood pure.
Diseases are generally caused by blood
poisoning Especially those mentioned
above. The poisoning is caused by impurities
in the blood.
These impurities could be kept out if our
kidneys were healthy if they were not worn
out, or did not have too much work to do.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills make
healthy kidneys out of sick ones This
means pure blood and the cure of all diseases
caused by blood impurities.
Asparagus has very strong tonic effect on
the kidneys. Combined with other herbs it
is used in DR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills,
and is the ingredient which does the Kidneys
the most good.
This filtering of the blood has probably
never been explained to you in this way
before.
Yet it is true.
Every physician knows it is true.
A medicine that will cure the kidneys will
cure any disease caused by poisoned blood
because as soon as the kidneys are well,
they set about doing their work as it ought to
be done.
When our drinking water is pure it will not
poison us, and when our blood is pure it will
not poison us. ~
DIR. Hobbs spaagus Kidney Pills will
bring you new life and ambition, cure your
pains and aches, give you bright rosy
complexion, and health, freedom and com
fort.
1t is not miracle
1t is simply pure clean blood.
1t is only a question Of renewing and
cleansing your filters.
