The first lines in above Sentinel
article. supreme court affirmed the
Judgment in the case of Emery and
Lord" will be read with extreme
pleasure by the people throughout
Wood county. Not alone because it
seals the iron doors of life punishment
against two fellows in crime, but par
ticularly because justice has at last
been done and truth is yindicated,
Notwithstanding that every dilatory
practice, prOcrastinating plea and
burdensome makeshift known to the
skilled criminal lawyer has been
Nothing has been accomplished since
the termination Of the first trial
at October term, 1894, except to pro
long fond hopes of yindication, now
rudely blighted, in the hearts of the
criminals, and to bring enormous and
useless expense into the case.
As to the moral question of
the innocence Or guilt of Lord and
Emery not one conclusion of the first
action has been broken down: as to
their punishment, the first sentence
might as well have been accepted as
final. The late ruling Of the supreme
court, however, settles the question
definitely. a motion for rehearing
could be entered, and under certain
circumstances an appeal might be
made to the United States supreme
court on a further technical writ of
error" but it is not expected that the
defendants attorney will presume
longer.
The three trials have cost Wood
county about $4,000. B. r. Goggins
of Centralia, who was district attOr-
ney for this county when the crime
was committed, has been the principal
counsel for prosecution. With great
diligence and steady application to
the task, without arts or eyaSiOnS, he
has admirably handled this case for
the state from beginning to end,
through the three trials and TWO hear
ings in supreme court. He has proven
one too many for the defense at every
twist of the law and for his eXcep-
tiOnal prudence and ability enjoys not
only the manifest appreciation of our
people but the open compliments OF
the bar of the state. The results
point their own cOmmendatiOn and
the REPORTER is glad to add it's en-
dOrSement to his work
Associated with Mr.. GOggins as
assistant counsel in the three trials
was the late Hon. Geo. r. Gardner.
In the third trial and in preparation
Of the last argument in supreme court
he had the help Of Asst. Atty. Gen.
G. E. Wheelan Both MessrS. Gardner
and Wheelan rendered valuable and
effective service. Geo. L. Williams OF
Grand Rapids was the leading attor-
ney for defendants and it is evident
| that he displayed more than ordinary
| tact for his clients. Thus ends an
expensive chapter in the legal annals
Of Wood county criminal history.

the necessary papers to secure enact
ment before the state legislature with
the purpose of securing proposed
changes as to standard barrel. crates

of the cranberry belt in the United
States extending from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. These varieties were
tested as to keeping quality and mer-
it's. Several varieties Of foreign ber-
ries are now being tested at the eX-
pertinent station. Few people know
that there exists so many kinds OF
cranberrieS. From the tests it was

exhibited was particularly attractive
in size. They were of the bugle form

A large number Of stockholders in

were present at the annual meeting
which was held in the Business Mems
rooms in Centralia Monday night, the

The minutes Of the last special meet
ing were read and approved, after
which the president, L. NJ. Nash read
a short summary of the business done
in 1898, as follows:
To the Stockholders of the Wood
County Telephone Company: The
years business just closed by your
board of directors has been, according
to their estimation, very satisfactory
as will be shown by the report of the
secretary. The total amount of the
Indebtedness of the company is 5000. 90
on loan Of 81 100000, which we were
owing at our last annual meeting and
for rent and supplies S175.25. There
is due the company for telephone rent
$4,000, and for sale of phones $500,
cash on hand S1052S. Total cost of
plant in cities to date, amount 81 ,346. 36:
NekOoSa line, S035.S6: Marsh line,
S14SS: Biron line, S154. So, making a
total of So, S,351.6S. Barring accidents,
the income, without the sale of stock,
for the coming year will be sufficient
to cancel the present debt. The policy
Of the board of directors has been to
curtail all expenses until the company
was out of debt and board Of directors
would recommend that the same policy
be pursued until this result is accom-
plised.
The secretary's itemized annual re-
port was read showing in detail the
total amount received during the year
to be as follows:

DR.. Longwell and associates come to
our city not unknown, as the institu-
ton with which he was connected is one
of the best known In the western states.
The doctor has had a long experience
in treating Chronic. Nervous and Pri-
vate diseases and diseases OF women,
which he makes speciality of, and is
supplied with oil the modern instru-
ments and apparatus for treating them
successfully. even after the family ply
slcian has failed.
That Wheeling needs such specialists
as this is evident. The recent dIscov-
cries in treating complicated chronic asl-
ments have been so great that the fam
!ly physician cannot keep well up with
them and must give up the treatment
of all but acute diseases such as fevers,
etc, to the specialist in that particular
branch Of medicine.
We anticipate for the new doctors a
great success and think our people will
appreciate the opportunity offered
them. In fact the doctors have already
placed many Of our people under treat-
ment and all speak highly Of the relief
received in so short time, which they
pronounce wonderful and are loud in
their praises OF the new specialists.
The doctors are anxious to get ac-
qualnted and offer free consultation and
advice to all who come soon. We advise
all chronic sufferers to take advantage
OF the offer.
