YOU MUST NOT
Burn Your NeighbOr's Pro-
perty nor Cut Him With
a Knife.
Warming From the Bench by Judge
Wright.

On Tuesday of this week, prison
ers Thos. Matheny and Dan Pugh
were brought before Judge Wright
for sentence in the crime of arson
and assault respective.
1t will be remembered that about
two years ago the Hayden hoppers
were burned, and though the iden-
tity OF the perpetrator of the deed
was not discovered until late, yet
justice in crime is sure to come.
Matheny had had trouble with the
company. The hoppers were burn
ed, Matheny went south but the
affairs twisted around until case
was well proven against him, and
the jury of this term pronounced
him guilty. Judge Wrightin pass
ing sentence of three years in pen
itentiary spoke meaning words of
warning to those in hisjurisdiction
should they be brought before him
for arson. That the sentence given
was no criterion. That when in
vested capital produces property it
is not for the midnight torch in
the hands of the felon, to distroy
that investment.
Iu the case of Dan Pugh for cut
ting. Judge Wright passed sem
tcnce of fine of $1,000 and cost,
amounting to $257.00. The judge
in his remarks on the case said
that while he is on the bench in
this county that the free use of tn e
knife or fire arm to settle disputes
would be dealt with so severely
that he hoped to cause the complete
Punishment of such crime from the
docket. That in former years when
men met in dispute that each strove
to convince the other with the
weapons Of nature, the bare fist.
Now we had gotten mach more
modern. We were armed with
that which by one quick thrust or
the crooking of finger would
snuff out human life. That such
was only fit for the realms of bar
barism; that locking county
among this peaceful people he hop
ed by his endeavors, would be
foreign to such lawless brutality.
The remarks of Judge Wright
were highly commended by those
present, and he received many
personal congratulations.

Most Popular Teacher
Is Miss Emma WeStenhdCer, So
Says the POtc at iStI'dttOn's,

For the month past Stratton Bro.
have held open an election on the
most popular young lady teacher
in the county, the price to the vot-
er being one dollar cash purchase
per ballot and the prise being a
handsome gold watch. During the
time there were more than 1000
votes cast, and sixty one teachers
voted for, Miss Westenhaver re-
ceiving the greatest number. The
person voting the most ballots was
to receive barrel of -four. This
fell to Mr.. John Roby of Green
dale. He ACTED near an hundred
times during the short time. One
of things proven is that there were
more than 100000 cash rolled into
Stratton's store in one month, not
determining the many that pur-
chased and never thought of vot-
ing.

Alphon.e Karr,. poll,. nexsnrs.

Alphonse Karr, the humorlst, owned
an estate in the southern part Of
France. His neghbor was an elderly
italian count who owned well-stock-
ed library. One day the author, who
had never met his neighbor, the count,
sent his servant with card request
ing the loan of book. The count re-
piled in polite note, saying, that he
was sorry not to be able to oblige Mr..
Karr, but with him 1t was a matter Of
principle never to lend books outside
his house. At the same time he invit.
ed his neighbor to come to his house
at any time and his library would be
at his disposal all day. Karr availed
himself of the privilege and became
friendly with the count, who not long
afterwards, sent to his literary neigh
Dor to borrow lawn sprinkler. Karr
replied: II deeply regret the impossi-
bility Of obliging you with the loan OF
a sprinkler, but, as a matter OF prln-
ciple, could not possibly allow my
sprinkler to be used outside OF my gar
den; but If you desire to use 1t on my
own lawn / shall gladly place the
gprinkler at your disposal all day."

PLEA OF AMERICAN TOBACCO
FARMERS,

Washington, Jan. 4.-The tobacco
schedule was the subject of the hear
ing before the ways and means COM
mittee today.
Michael Topin, of Balwinsyille, n.
Y, representing the New York State
Tobacco Growers Association, said
the tobacco growers We're badly in
need of relief. They had expended
vast sums in warehouses, etc, and I'M
til the importation from Sumatra be-
gan, they had been fairly prosperous.
Tobacco farms were then valued at
$125 an acre. Such farms are now
generally mortgaged and would not
today liquidate their membranes.
He did not think it fair that the Hol-
land syndicate, which employed Coo
lie labor at II cents day, should be
allowed to annihilate the great leaf
tobacco industry of this country. He
denied that American leaf was not
suitable for wrappers. Sumatra, he
said, had not merit except its appear
ancp.

BesSemer Steel association of the
United States. known as the 'Steel
Billet Pool" is meeting in New York
today preparatory to calling a meet

The committee in session in New
York is special one, appointed to col
lect data concerning the production,
allotment, prices. etc, with view to
arranging new schedule for the billet
manufacturers represented in the
pool.
The steel market has been inactive
during the holidays, but there is a
feeling that prices have reached the
lowest notch and will settle near ba-
sis of SIS a ton for steel billets. This
is the figure that the pool expected
to fix when the next agreement is en-

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be Benefactor Tt
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less SuS-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes man so
Overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. de-
sireS to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs TO nat
ural size and Vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in q remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and yigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to III. G. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it trial. will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from.
The prescription is sent free. and al
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dis
cOvery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.
