OTTAWA, o., July 17.-Miss Smith,
of Continental, who is only II years
old and weighs but so pounds. to-
gether with her two younger sisters,
went to the woods Thursday to gather
berries. George Snyder followed them,
it is alleged, and criminally assaulted
the oldest of the sisters with the great
est brutality. The cries of the young
er sisters caused Synder to take to the
woods, but he came back to town and
gave himself up about 10 o'clock in the
evening and was locked up.
The citizens, wild with indignation,
went to the city Jail during the night
to string him up, hut were disappoint-
ed in not finding him, as the marshal,
who had foreseen the trouble, had
started with his prisoner for the coun-
ty Jail, where he landed him about l
o'clock. He was taken back to Con-
tinental for trial Friday, but returned
to Jail here Friday evening, as citizens
of Con tinental are still wild with q
desire to lynch Snyder
All is quiet here, and the sheriff
fears no trouble from mob. The
girls condition is critical.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
Which Is Better-Try an Experiment
or Profit by a Marietta Citlzen's
Experiment.,

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proven TO be as represented.
Be successful at home or you doubt
it. The statement of manufacturer
is not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now, supposing you had bad Jack,
lame, weak or aching one; would
you experiment on it? You will read
of many so-called cures, but they
come from far away places. It's fer
ent when the endorsement comes from
home. Easy to prove that it is so.
Home endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Kidney Pills.

JtrDGE WALLER X. STAPLES.

The death Of Judge Waller r. Staples
is serious loss to the Virginia bar. lie
was a great lawyer. He had naturally a
legal mind, which was carefully trained,
and. by patient study. stocked with a
great fund of legal lore.
As Judge of the Virginia Court Of APP
peals, he distinguished himself by his
profound knowledge of the law and his
clean cut opinions He filled that posi-
ton with honor TO himself and the State
but his most valuable service. perhaps
was his work in connection with Judges
Burks and Rely in codifying the statute
laws of Virginia. embodied in the Code OF
1887. 1t is a sad and singular co-inci-
dence that he and one OF his co-laborers
Judge Burks. should have passed away
almost at the same time.
Judge Staples had always been active
in the politics of the State. giving much
OF his time to the Democratic party in
every important campaign, and he was
one Of the most forceful and successful
stump speakers in the State. But it was
a work OF love. Since his retirement
from the Supreme Court bench. he had
invariably declined to become a candidate
for any political office.
lie had many warm friends in Rich.
mond who are deeply grieved at his un.
timely death.
