tiOnal. cases, and one of sun -excep-
tfons is that ''the physical or mental
condition or appearance of a person,
or his manner, habit or conduct, may
be proved by the opinion of an ordin-
ary. witness, founded on observation"
An inference necessarily involving GER
tain facts may be stated without the
facts, the inference being an equiva-
lent to specification of the facts; but
when the facts are not necessarily in
VOlVed in the inference, then the facts
must be stated. In other words, when
the opinion is a mere shorthand rend-
ering of the facts, then the opinion can
be given. Opinion so far as it consists
Of statement of an effect produced
on the mind becomes primary evil
dence, hence admissible whenever a
condition of things is such that it can
not be reproduced and made palpable
in the concrete to the jury"
A. Where part of a witness answer
to question is admissible and part
inadmissible a motion to strike such
answer is properly refused unless it
is confined specifically to the mad
missible part of such answer.
5. Verdicts in criminal cases should
be certain and impart definite mean
ing, free from ambiguity. Any words
that convey, beyond reasonable doubt,
the meaning and intention of the Jury
are sufficient, and all fair intendments
should be made to sustain them. If
the intention is clearly manifested,
bad spelling or faulty grammar will
not vitiate the verdict.
6. An appellate court can not con-
slider afidavits used in support of
motion for new trial unless they are
evidenced to it in and by bill of ex-
ceptions.
Judgment affirmed.

Mabry, j.:
1. Dying declaration of a person
mortally wounded, in reference to the
circumstances that caused death, in
cases where the death of the declarant
is the subject of investigation, are ad-
missible in evidence when the declar-
ant is in extremity, believes death is
imminent and is without hope of re-
covery; and the circumstances under
which the declarations are made
should be shown in order that the
court may determine whether or not
they are proper to go to the jury as
dying declarations.
2. The fact that dying declarations
are made in response to questions
asked the declarant, is no ground for
excluding them, nor is it material, as
to their admissibility, that the ques-
tions are omitted and the answers only
given when they are reduced to writ
ing, read over and signed by declar-
ant.
8. It is not error to deny a motion
to exclude or strike out a statement
offered as dying declaration when a
portion sought to be excluded is ad-
missible, though another portion may
be Objectionable. The proper practice
in such case is to confine the Objec-
ton to the inadmissible portion.
4. In considering exceptions to por-
tions of charges they should, all bear
ing on the subject, be considered in
connection with each other.
5. The correctness of a charge on
the subject of murder in the first de-
gree becomes immaterial where the
jury rejects entirely the theory of the
case presented by the charge and rem
der verdict for manslaughter.
6. 1t is proper to refuse requests
based upon state of facts not shown
by the evidence.
Z. When the entire scope of requests
to charge has been covered by charges
given, it is not error for the court to
refuse to repeat the charges in sub
stance though differing in phraseology.
8. Where two persons are jointly
indicted and tried, and one is acquitted
and the other convicted, the correct
ness of charges applicable in terms
solely and exclusively to the one ac-
quilted can not be questioned by the
one who was convicted.

"The blood is the life." Science has
never gone bevond that simple statement
of scripture. But it has Illuminated that
statement and given it a meaning ever
broadening with the increasing breadth
Of knowledge. When the blood is bad
or impure it is not alone the body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and Judgment
are affected. and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly traced
to the impurity of the blood. No one
can have wholesome and pure life un-
less the blood is pure. Foul blood can
be made pure by the use of DR.. Plerces

blood is pure, body and brain are alike
healthy and life becomes daily happi-
ness.

the power to authorize municipal cor

Stltuted corporate authorities, to erect
and own electric light plants for SUD-

habitants, and to issue and sell bonds
fOr such purpose, either with or with
out the sanction of their Individual
citizens or taxpayers as expressed
through an election.

IN the proceeding, is something the ne

with it by subsequent statute. And if
