The clerk was in a stupid condition
when aroused and said he could feel the
deadly fumes coming from his mouth
and felt dull pain in his head.
An investigation brought out the fact
that for some months the gas Jet had
been turned off at the meter. One of
the chamber maids on one occasion went
into the room, turned the cock of the
fixture and tried to light it, being unsuc-
cessful in her attempt she failed to turn
the cock off again.
The day in question, sickness in the
house called for gas stove and one was
placed in the sick room and the gas
turned on. The jet being open in the

gently pouring death into the bed

Jarvis Law Results.

Many papers are inclined to de.
nounce any law, no matter how
meritorious, if it is enacted or pro-
posed by any party aside from their
own. The TINES has always tried
to be above such pettiness. One or
two republican papers have denounc-
ed the Jarvis Criminal Court law
recently, but we cannot see why they
should do this unless from partisan
feeling, or from the fact that they
have not investigated its working.
There may have to be some few minor
notifications, but in the main we be.
leive the law is just and right, and as
the tax payers see its workings, they
will be In favor of it.
The Costs Of the last two terms Of
Circuit Court, under this law, have
been greatly reduced and as this has
been one OF the great leaks in our
county treasury we are satisfied that
the people, who pay taxes. rather
than act as professional witnesses,
will not bs sorry.
