A SOLDIERS LIABILITY.
Supported by Law in Everything Done in
Obedience to Orders.

London, Dec 12.-Dispatches to the
English newspapers this week from
Cape Town bring out the curious fact
that the question how far a private
soldier is protected in carrying out the
orders of his superior officer has never
been decided in an English court or
law.
AT the first sitting of the special
treason court in Cape Town the hrst
case on the calendar, by a strange
irony. so far from being one OF treason
was that of a British soldier who mad
killed a native while engaged III the
"ouelljng of rebellion The circum-
stances were as follows:
In November OF last year Capt. COX
r of the New South Wales LancerS was
sent with small patrol to seize horses
and stock on rebel farm near Goes
burg. one OF the patrol was the soidlvr
mentioned, Il private named Snlth- me
bride of one of the horses taken was
missing, and Capt. Cox ordered Sihith
TO compel the native servant belonging
to the farm to get it without delay us
there was imminent danger OF lhe
enemy swooping down on the niue pa
troll.
IF he refuses to get it at once" the
captain added, arm II ii'A' ''i-
him..
The native, according to the dis
patches, behaved in a very dllatory
way, and refused to hurry, though COIL
tinually ordered to DO So, Whereupoh
Smith shot the man through the head.
The justification for this act set up ny
counsel for the defense was that Snlth
was obeying the orders Of his superior
ofI;nar anl IL was then that the dlS-
covery was made that the point as 70
how far soldier is protected In OBEY
ing orders had never been decided py
the English courts.
The Cape Town judge, however, lald
it down as q safe rule that Il Soluit''
honestly believing that he was DONG
his duty in carrying out orders WIS
entitled to protection, and this protec-
ton the court accorded to the accused
trooper. who was acquitted amid loud
applause.

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Few Reasons Which Are Rapidly Making
New Caiarrh Cure Famous.

stuarts Catarrh Tablets. the new Ca
tarrh cure has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injuri1 as
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an impor-
tant point when it is recalled that many
catarrhal remedies do contain these very
objectional ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age. or an ex-
posure to the air as liquid prepare tons
Invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but 1t is
50 far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that 1t is only a ques-
ton of time when the tablet will entirely
supersede liquid medicines as it has al
ready done in the medical department of
the United States army.
Next No secret is made of the com
position of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they
contain the active principle of Eucalyp-
tus bark, red gum blood root and Hy-
dastin, all harmless antiseptics which.
however are death to catarrhal germs
| them from the blood
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
! local applications to the nose and throat
because these are simply local symptoms
and such treatment can not possibly
reach the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is the blood; for this reason, inhal-
ers. douches. sprays and powders never
really cure catarrh. but simply give tenn
porary relief which a dose of plain salt
and water will do just as We'll.
Catarrh must be driven out of the sys-
TEN, out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is the
only kind which can be assimlated into
the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known to
modern science in the antiseptic treat
ment of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers. and spray
ing apparatuseS. besides being ineffective
and disappointing is expensive. while a
complete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets can be had at any drug store in
the United States and Canada for 80
cents.
