Is never done, and u Is especially wearing
and wearisome to those whose blood is
impure and unfit properly to tone, sus-
tain, and renew the wasting OF nerve,
muscle and tissue. It is more because OF
this condition OF the blood that women
are run down,
Tired, Weak, Nervous,
Than because Of the work itself. Every
physician says SO, and that the only REM
edy is in building up by taking good
nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalizer
like Hoods Sarsaparilla. For the troubles
Peculiar to Women at change of season,

Editor Jos. w. Pomprey, of the
Covington Extra, has been indicted
by the grand jury of Kenton county,
for criminal libel. Editor Pomphery,
during the late campaign, made very
uncalled for and unfounded remarks
about the personal character of Sena-
tor William Goebel. Senator Goebel
very wisely concluded to let tie law
take its course with the traducer,
rather than be provoked into a per-
sonal difficulty.

So far two Of the eleven brutes who
assaulted Mrs. Thos. Gleason at New
port, Duke Croxson and George Greer,
have been tried and given sentences
of ten years each. AS these were the
leaders in the crime committed, it is
not likely that any of the gang will
be properly punished The failure
to hang men convicted of crimes OF
this sort, is the prime cause of the
reign of lynch law that has become a
social problem" in all parts of the
country.

An Interesting Case.


An interesting case which will prob
ably define the fees due the Coroner
in inquest cases has just been brought
TO the attention of the court in1
Luzerne county, and the final decl-
sion will be of interest throughout |
the state and especially here in
Schuylkill county.
Sometime since the Coroner OF that
county viewed the bodyof adeceased
nerson and considered an inquest un-
necessary. When he presented his
bill for payment, the Controller re
fused to countersign the bill and
vouchers, claiming that the body was
that of an infant where doctor was
not called in. The Controller inti-
mates that there are any number OF
such cases. where the Coroner views
the body merely for the purpose OF
securing the fees. II is true that
Controller Lloyd has many critics as
to the management OF his Office, but
one thing is apparent, he is the Con
troller-and he CONTROLS. In more
than one instance brought to our
notice has he saved money for the
taxpayers of that county by his bold
and firm stand against the old system
in vogue in that county. Luzerne is
fortunate in having Mr.. Lloyd in his
present position.
When the bills for viewing the
bodies and holding inquests on the
Lattimer shooting were presented
payment was also refused. Control
Ter Lloyd says the Coroner is not en-
titled to the amounts asked for
The Coroner's fees at the inquest are
$2.75 for view Of body, $1,374 for in
ouisition, oaths % cents each, and
mileage. The Coronsr's bill in the
above case is the same as if there
was an inquest held on each body
For example, the cost in one case thu
Coroner has fgured out to be abou
S12.62. Then he has multiplied tha
by eighteen, for TIE eighteen victims
Mr.. Lloyd thinks he has a right tC
the So. rs for each view, but has M
right to collect inquisition, oaths anC
mileage fees in each of the eighteeI
cases. He holds that there was onl!
one inquest, one mileage and tn
jurymeu were only sworn once.
There is no question but that ther
are instances where the services o
the Coroner are not needed, and tina
official merely views the body for tn
fees that accrue. Such charges hav
been made in this county, but W
have no knowledge that such is tn
case.
One thing is certain. Luzerne
Controller earns his salary. In tn
instance, at least, the creation Of tn
Office has proved to be one of muc
benefit to the taxpayers.
Mr.. Lloyd does more than draw h
salary.
