Europe,. City of crrn.

The Italian city of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome, is known as
the City of Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done his time
has emigrated to Artena, and today
practically every inhabitant is a crimi-
nal or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into its own
hands, and 1t Is reported not a day
passes without many murders being
committed In the streets. The italian
authorities have now come to look up
on Artena as hopeless and remark that
1t Is far better that criminals should
Kill criminals than that innocent per-
sons should be their victims. II is said
that on one occasion when % murders
had been committed In that city In one
day the fact was reported In one OF the
Italian papers In the following terms:
Since our last issue GA hours before)
there have been % sudden deaths in
Artena," and no further notice of the
murders was t1ken or expected.

A Serious Accident.

This morning while replenishing
the water cooler in the office of
r. W. Randol Ellis Wilkes hap
pened to a very serious accident.
The cooler is earthenware and
in some manner Mr.. Wilkes dro p
ped the upper part on the lower
part and broke it, and in trying to
catch it one of the pieces struck
his right wrist, cutting the Ten
dons and arteries and completely
severing them.
His arm was quickly corded to
prevent him bleeding to death and
medical aid was at once summoned.
The severed tendons and blood
vessels were reunited and the
wound dressed and this afternoon
the patient was resting well.
The doctors think that the
wound will heal nicely and express
hope that the use of his hand will
not be impaired, though the injury
is very serious one.

Rescued From 3 Well.

The two-year- old girl baby of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Witt, resid-
ing near Woodbine, accidently fell
into well twenty feet deep, con-
tanning five feet of water, but for
tunately was discovered in time to
be rescued by its father who en-
tered the we'll and reached the little
fellow just as it was sinking for
the last time. Upon being taken
to its fathers arms, after having
vomited out several gills of water
and while still at the bottom of the
well the little innocent creature
looked up into its fathers eyes and
said: Papa, tell mamma not to
come down here"

Pepsin Syrup 90.
Dear Sirs:-I feel it my duty to
write to you and let you know how
much good your medicine has done
for me. Twenty-three yerss ago
was taken with some kind of stom-
ach trouble and tried everything 1
heard of. They did me but little
good. Three years ago neuralgia set
in on me and got so poor and weak
that 1 could hardly walk, couldn't
work any. My husband received q
book through the mail, advertising
your medicine, and he sent our little
boy to the drug store to get one of
your ten-cent bottles. / began to
use it. 1t is strange to say, but it's
the truth, the second dose / took
gave me lots of relief. I kept on
using 1t till used it nearly one year
and now l am nearly as strong as l
used to be and can do any kind of
work. / recommended it to all, for
it seems to me it would cure anybody
1 have gotten several to use DIR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and they
all say it has done them so mucn
good. God bless DIR. Caldwell and
his medicine for doing me 30 much
good. Yours with respect,
Mrs. Isabel Wheeler.

Judge Bryan had unusually difficult
cases to try or one in which large
interests were involved he always
knelt down and.prayed before call

stood with bowed heads.
But the incident which he likes
