An Important Session Of Court.

On Tuesday morning Hon. E.
Boyd Faulkner held special term
of the Circuit Court of Morgan
county, at Berkeley Springs, at
which the trial Of the criminal case
of State VS.. Albert Thomas and
John Green was the chief matter &C.
cupying the term. Among the law
yers attending from this city, were
Messrs. Woods, Pitzer, estenhaver
and Ingles. The trial occupied two
and a half days, and was holly con-
tested from start to finish. The
two young prisoners are from Cum
berland, and the accusation was for
burglarzing the house of Henry
Wise. Having no counsel, the court
appointed Messrs. Westenhaver and
Woods for the defense, and Mr.. o..
S. G. Pitzer assisted the prosecu-
tion. The accused attempted to
prove an alibi, but the state sue
ceeded in breaking down the testi.
mony and getting verdict. There
we're none. or at least few, points of
law raised, and the case went before
the jury and was argued upon the
evidence and questions of fact alone.
The court in passing sentence CON-
mented on the case being heard by
an excellent panel of jurymen who
had listened with intent and had
passed with fairness upon the merits
of the case. Each of tue accused
were sentenced to six years in the
penitentiary, almost the lighes. sen
tence the Court could impose.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp. Root, the great
kidney remedy, fuIflls every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have q sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free
by mail, upon receipt of three two
cent stamps to cover cost of postage
on the bottle. Mention INDEPEN-
DENT and send your address to Or.
