WENTY YEARS.

When Jack" Kelley was taken back to
all "Wednesday he showed desire to
Indulge in another "spell." He was placed
in cell, handcuffed ami his limbs we're
bound in chains. He soon succeeded in
getting off the chains and attempted to
bang himself to the grating of the cell door
with the chains. The officers entered the
cell to take away the chain, when Kelley
made rush and escaped into the corridor
When the officers, assisted by the other
fought them like tiger at bay. At last he
GERS tried to leave him to lock the door he
would clutch them about the legs and
would not desist until his hands had been
thoroughly dubbed.
After he had been locked in it was found
that John Mari, one of the prisoners who
had assisted the officers, had been seriously
injured by Kelley by being kicked in the
stomach and it was necessary to summon a
physician to attend him.
In the meantime Kelle would rush from
one end of his cell to the other and beat his
head against the wall and door until his
face and head were battered into a swollen
and bloody condition.
Judge Watson was asked by Saeriff
Graves to issue an order to have Kelley
transferre to the state prison at Windsor
az there were no conveniences at the Jail
sui able for properly taking care of him
| The court decided upon this, not to delay
sentence and ordered Kelley brought into
court. He also notified his attorneys of the
intention OF the court to impose sentence.
Kelley came into court and was seated

Injuries had swollen to such an extent that
his face presented "a shocking appearance.
Messrs Gordon and Swasey, counsel for
Kelley, asked that sentence be stayed until
they had time to present a petition to the
court asking for a new trial They said
they had Obtained a mass of fresh evidence
in favor of the respondent, which they
believed would establish the fact that he
was insane long before he committed the
act OF viii Ii he had just been convicted.
The court replied that they would not be
denied that privilege IL it was done in the
specified time, that Kelly sentenced and
committed for safe keeping would in no.
wise interfere with any action OF his coun-
sci in his behalf and sentence could not be
stayed.
Judge Watson said sentence on Kelley
would be under the old law, as the crime
was committed before the new law was
passed The maximum sentence under the
old law in such cases was confinement in
States prison for life, while under the new
law it cannot exceed term OF ten years.
Before passing sentence the court asked
Kelley II he had anything to say. Kelley
dropped on his knees in front OF the rail
and clasping his manacled hands, muttered
in an incoherent way something about the
curse of GOD being upon him and praying
The court sentenced Kelley to con6ne
ment at hard labor in the States prison for
the term OF twenty years and to pay costs of
prosecution he to stand committed until
costs are paid. The court ordered that
Kelley be committed at once. As 10 WAS

Common
Sense
y ak with
Women

If person is i'll and needs a medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way Of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs Is "a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such record for cures.
1t seems 50 strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
L. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest Of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, No, we want
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pink ham,

Four years ago | had almost given
up hope of ever being well again. L
was afflicted with those dreadful head
ache spells which would sometimes
last three or four days. Also had
bacllache, bearing-down pains, leucor-
rhea, dizziness, and terrible pains at
monthly periods, combining me to my
bed. After reading so many testi-
monials for your medicine, concluded
to try it. l began to pick up after
taking the first bottle, and have con-
tinued to gain rapidly, and now feel
like a different woman. l can recon-
mend Lydia e. Pintham's Vegetable

The Coaster Brake.

The innovation known as the coaster
brake Is decidedly popular. Back ped
aling Is exceedingly tiresome, and
coasting has steadily declined by rea-
o of the obvious inconvenience of
using the plunger brake, operated by
the foot. With the coaster brake one
can slide down a hill without remov-
ing his feet from the pedals. II re-
quires but a few moments to become
used to the new brake. and soon the
sense OF complete control of the wheel
Is felt and a comfortable feeling of
security Is impaired, which has never
hitherto been experienced. The coast
er brake will be especially popular IN
this city. where 80 many hills are en-
countered. Nearly all the brakes OF
this kind on the market are operated
by rollers, controlled by springs, are
simple In construction and easily at.
tached to any wheel.

They laughed him to scorn and de-
clared that In all the land Little lnjtn
could find no sauaw. But, determined
to follow the advice of the good spirit.
Little lnjin now left his people. and
he ~journeyed to a valley far In the
east. where he met an Indian girl who
became his squaw. Then came a
papoose to Little Injin, and he grew
and he grew. until he was over six
feet tall and had the strength Of "A bear
and the nsetness Of the deer. All the
other Indians In the valley became
afraid of him, and he was soon known
far and Wide as a great hunter and q
mighty man when at war.
Then the good spirit again called on
Little lnjin and said to him:
Little Injin. you go now back TO
your people, Take your son. the big
lnJin. and tell him to call all his
braves in the valley aud go with you
beads and war paint. to fight the In
dams Of the mountain"
The Indians OF the valley marched
upon the long journey to the noun
tain the very next day. Meanwhile n
bad spirit, In the form OF a woodpeck-
or. from his nest in the mountain. saw
the valley Indians approach across
the plain. SO he flew as fast as no
could to the camp OF Singing Water,
and he warned him and his people.
The big lnjin and his braves from the
great valley are coming to make war
on you. and warn o not to run but
to fight them. You can easily whip the
big Indian and his braves"
The next day a great battle was
fought between the Indians OF the
mountain and those OF the valley; and
the legend tells the result In these few
words: Mountain Injin no run away;
he fight valley lnjin. Valley Injin
heap kill Mountain Injin; he strong
he brave, he not sick, he not crooked,
he not ugly. He fight like wild cat;
Mountain Injln he say got enough
tight; he smoke peace pipe. Very
well. Valley lnJin he stay In moun.

tie lnjin, now old man. to come bach
to his people. Then Valley Injin max,
