DEANE WILL PREVENT
JURY-BOX STUFFING
UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS ARE
TAKEN THIS TERM.

Jury-boX stuffing, owing to the precau-

cial this term. The appearance of names
in the jury box that did not belong there

an order was made by the court that all
the old names, some 5000 in number, were
ordered withdrawn and consigned to the

Deputy Goddard caused the box toe be

Daingerfield followed, fire was kindled

were soon in ashes. IF your honor please,

that no names or slips remain therein
Judge Daingerfield took q match, lit it,

The kidneys clean the blood and on their activity depends the health of the body. If the liver becomes so tor pid that it interferes with the work of the kidneys the body suffers and drop sy results. The most valuable feature in the curative effect of Prickly Ash Bitters is its stimulating influence in the kidneys. It heals and strengthens those organs so that they resume their blood cleansing and urine gathering functions, purifies and regulates the liver, tones up the stomach and by a mild, yet cathartic effect, all poisons and bilious impurities in the bowels are driven out It quickly restores strength and health.
