Jury Trials.

The outcome of murder trials al
present evinces clearly enough the
unwilingness of petit juries to fine
criminals, indicted by a grand jury
guilty of the worst offense against
the law and society, namely, pre-
meditated murder, and the reluct-
ance of judges to pronounce its
extreme penalty. But there is no
escaping the penalties which ma
ture exacts for disregard of her
laws. Dyspepsia, born of impru-
dences in eating and drinking,
rheumatism caused by needless ex-
posure in inclement weather, dang
erous organic troubles resulting
from unchecked inactivity of the
kidneys, and all socalled minor
ailments are durable with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, also a
competent preventive of rnalarial
ailments.

Another Rapist Lynohed.

VIM Stake, negro, was burned
at Doyhire, Louisiana, Friday
morning, for raPing Mrs. Parish, a
White woman, whom he met on th=
highways.
When the lady was found, she
WIS more dead than alive, and az
ter being restored to consciousness,
related how the internal black
orrte had assaulted her.
The negro was lu e down an
made a confession. The Shreveport
Caucasian says of the affair:
"Steake was arrested and identi-
ned. lie was taken to the Minden
Jail, where he confessed the crime
in detail,
He was taken to Doyline for ex-
animation. Over a thousand peo
ole, many armed, was there.
It was evident the nigger was
doomed; there could be no escape
or him. 1t was believed at first he
would be lynched, but it was
lecreed that he be burned alive.
It was intended to take him to the
scene of his crime, but the excite
uent was so intense that the plan
was changed. He was taken across
the railroad to a convenient place
and several gallons of coal oil were
poured on him and fired.
Words could not describe the
scene. When Steake realized his
end he became almost paralyzed
with fear. He begged and pleaded
for his life and denied he had ever
met his victim, but his appeals did
not move the people, who had de
termined on his execution.
The crime was horrible. Indeed
in the south, aud especially north
Louisiana, no mercy is shown d
rapist.
