During the summer of 1891, Mr..
Chas, P. Johnson, a well known at
torney of Louisville, KY, had a
very severe attack of summer com
plant. Quite a number of differ
ent remedies were tried but failed
to afford any relief. A friend who
knew what was needed procured a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
quickly cured him and he thinks,
saved his life. He says that there
has not been a day since that time
that he has not had this remedy in
his household. He speaks or it in
the highest price and takes much
pleasure in recommending it when
ever an opportunity is offered, For

GOES UP FOR LIFE.
David Justice Convicted of Murder at
Cntlcttsburg, Ky.


A man who is supposed to be Wash
ington county product, was convicted
of murder Tuesday and sentenced to
Imprisonment for life. He is David
Justice, said to be the same "Davy"
who number of years ago carried on
general business of burglary and lar
cenv at Beverly, his home. He was
convicted one or more times and sent
to the Penitentiary, but never failed to
get back to his profession when re-
leased. The following dispatch tells
the story:
Catlettsburg, KY, February 15.-
Dave Justice, charged with the murder
Of Lazarus Vinson, a prominent tim ber
man from the Big Sandy Valley. in
May, 1895, in this city, was this after
noon found guilty By a jury, which has
been out 4s hours, and which fixed the
penalty at 80 years imprisonment in
the Frankfort Penitentiary. Justice
took the verdict in cool manner.
Lazarus Vinson was brother of Hon.
S. S. Vinson, of Central City, w. Va.
He was murdered for money which he
was supposed to have in his possession
for the sale of some timber The crime
was committed under the Catlett's
Creek bridge in the central part OF the
city, and the body was taken to the
southern part of the city, and placed
under the c. & o. Railroad viaduct
which connects with the new bridge
spanning the Big Sandy River.
1t was the impression when the body
was found that Vinson was endeavor-
ing to walk across the bridge and had
fallen off, but his sons and relatives
took another view and insisted that he
had been murdered, as he was never
known to walk on any kind Of bridge
after dark.
Justice and Charles Martin were sus.
pected, but no indictment could be
found against them. At last Mrs. Mar
tina Cause told James Vinson, a son of
the murdered man, that she saw the
fatal blow struck which killed his
father, and she would swear to it, and
it was on her affidavit, which was
sworn to before County Judge Haley,
that warrants were issued for the ar
rest of the men.

Field Developments.

There seems to be some difference OF
opinion as 10 the formation in which
the oil in the Albreicht farm on Whisk-
ey run, Richie county, was developed.
The contractors who drilled the we'll
have no hesitancy in saying that it was
found in the Big Injun sand. They
drilled the Albreicht we'll and the one
ON the Whaley farm and are positive
that it is the Big Injnn formation. A
well known operator came up from
that country yesterday, having visited
the we'll, and gave it as his opinion
that it was the Keener sand that was
furnishing the production and made
the we'll the more a freak. The opin-
ion had been gaining ground each day
and since then operators had become
quite skeptical and showed little incli-
nation to invest in leases.
The royalty, one-eighth of the pro-
duction in the Albreicht farm, consist
ing of IS or so acres, had been sold for
$40, OO0. A 12-acre piece Of the Bichard-
son farm, right up against the AL
breicht we'll, had been sold outright
including the royalty, for sl,SOO. On
this basis, fancy prices have not ruled
in the vicinisy of the gusher. Three
or four wells are starting in that To-
cality, but the usual energy displayed
in starting new work is not in evidence
on Whiskey Run.
The we'll on the Albreicht farm is
still making 20 barrels an hour. but its
high production is only maintained by
frequent agitation. d. S. w.

Versai ether, the material out of which
worlds are made, the movement resulting
from these condensations being the origin
of all motion aud all life.
AT the earth, and probably at all similar
bodies, this condensation of the ether oc-
ours in vegetable life, the ether being the
only plant food
The ether enters the vegetable through
IT'S leaves. runs down the stalk and fills It.
like pouring water into vessel and the
sap rises in vegetation from the ether that
that is poured In at the top and from the
same reason that when you pour water
iuto vessel the water rises as the vessel
fills.
The roots of vegetation are impervious
to water The bark OF vegetable roots
have no pores and no substance can pass
in or out. through this bark. The residue
OF the ether is electriAty and passes into
the earth through the roots. Moisture is
necessary to form a good conductor for
electricity.

As vegetables growths are greatest near
the earth's equator the earth cannot al

Of the equator would cause change o. dry
lands and seas. In this change the dry
lands would become seas and oceans and
the latter would become dry lands
