Moment of Deep SolemnIty.

1t was moment of deep soiemuity
he dangled, swayed slightly to and fro
and suggestive of thoughts that make
the bosom swell The field of eXecu-
ton was rising ground that com
mandcd the outstretChing valley from
mountain to mountain, and their still
grandeur gave sublimity to the out
line, while it so CHANGED that white
clouds resting upon them gave them
the appearance that reminded more
than one of us of the snow peaks of
the Alps. Before us was the greatest
array of disciplined forces ever seen
in Virginia, infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery combined, composed of the old
commonwealth choicest sons and
commanded by her best officers; and
the great canopy of the sky overarch-
ing all came to add it's sublimity
ever present. but only realized when
other great things are occurring be-
meath it,
But the moral of the scene was its
grand point. A sovereign state had
been assailed and she had uttered but
hint and her sons had fastened to
show that they were ready to defend
her. Law had been violated by actual
murder and attempted treason, and
that gibbct was erected by law, and
to uphold law was this military force
assembled, But greater still, Gods
holy law and righteous providence was
indicated. Thou shalt not kill"
Whose sheddeth mans blood by man
shall his blood be shed" And here
the gray-haired man of violence meets
his fate after he has seen his two
sons cut down before him earlier in
the same career of violence into which
he had introduced them. So perish all
such enemies of Virginia, all such
enemies of the union, all such foes Of
the human race, So felt and so
said with solemnity and without one
shade of animosity as turned to
break the silence to those around me.
Yet the mystery was awful--to sec
the human form thus treated by men;
to see life suddenly stopped in its
current, and to ask oneself the quCs-
tion without answer, And what

No Sympathy for Offender.

In all that array there was not

the offender. All felt in the depths of
their hearts that it was right On
the other hand, there was not one
single word or gesture of exultatiOn or
insult From the beginning to the
end all was marked by the most abso-
lutte decorum and solemnity. There
was no military music no saluting of
troops as they passed one another, nor
anything done for show The crimi-
nal hung upon the gallows for nearly
40 minutes, and after being examined
by a whole staff of surgeons the body
was deposited in a neat coffin, to be
delivered to his friends and trans.

wife awaited it. She came, in com

husband last night, and returned to

Hon. David Meekison is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconqucred foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DIR.
Hartman as the result:
''Ihave used several bottles of Peru
na and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. I feel
encouraged to believe that if use it q
short time longer / will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
ssDavid Meekison.''
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
trif1ing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is

A very pretty and Inexpensive cover

the four corners being adorned with
three large disks embroidered solid
with green COUGHING silk, and just a

In cases where it is necessary to
have an apartment fumigated, due no.
tice should be given to other fam

this was not done, resulted in the
illness of two members of the fam
lily living above the apartment fumi-
gated. In the case of child, it pro-
duced a serious attack of sore throat,
while with an elderly member of the
family it brought to elimination a
series of slight symptoms, and re-
