Miss Yut, when called upon to give her

Harness Thieves Re. lsed

Ed HutsOn, JEFF Hutson and Wood
Smith, the Caldwell harness thieves
were released from Jail Tuesday.
1t was found that the statute of lin.

anc the officers were powerless to do
anything with them.
They were arrested upon evidence
obtained from Lige Priest and others.

Peter Cramer's harness had occurred
on November ], 1895. Yesterday
Cramer was in the city, and upon in.
vestigatiOn it was found that the
theft had been committed in 1894.
The statute Of limitation is two years.
which furnished the lOophole for the
escape Of these thieves. The county
will be denied the satisfaction of see
ing these fellows 20 t. the penitenti-
airy, but there is consolation In the
knowledge that the gang has
been broken up. One of the HutSon
boys practically admitted to County
Attorney Rogers after his release,
that they were guilty as charged.

Hon. Ed. Hackney is champion
ing the movement in the legislature
for constitutional convention. Mr..
Hackney is certainly on the right
track in this matter. The present
state constitution has been outgrown
for twenty years. Whenever a re-
form Of any nature is proposed we
run up against the constitution every
time. What is the use of having
annual elections? There are a
dozen or more important economies
and reforms relative to taxation and
railroads that the people are de-
handing and cannot get. We ought
to have a constitutional convention
at the earliest possible day and get
up document that will fit our mod
ern conditions. 1t will take FIVE
years to get it if we start now, and
why delay longer? We hope Mr..
Hackney will keep the ball rolling in
the direction Of a constitutional con.
vention. We feel sure that his con
stituents will endorse his course in
the matter.

seat from the beginning o the close

While he is not prominent as a de-

healthy vigor is Electric Bitters.
This medicine is purely vegetable,
acts by giving tone to the nerves cen.
tres in the stomach, gently stimulates
the liver and kidneys, and aids these
organs in throwing off impurities in

it as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Trylt. Sold for 50 cents
