That's the way it begins. Little things
disturb you. You are irritable, restless
and worry over trifes. Your heart jumps
and palpitates at every sudden noise, you
can't concentrate your mind on your
work, your memory fails and you do not
sleep well at night. In the morning you
feel weak and exhausted, with no appe-
tite for food and no ambition for exertion
of any kind. Nervous prostration has no

JUDGE ED|NGS IS COMING
WILL HOLD COURT HERE IN
PLACE OF GEAR.
a New Law Under Which He VIII Join
Judge Humphreys in the First
Circuit.

Judge Edings is coming to hold court
in Honolulu, in place of Judge Gear
who left on the Zealandia owing to the
critical illness of the young lady whom
he is engaged to marry, leaving the
first circuit calendar as badly over
crowded as it was before he was APP
pointed.
Judge Edings is able to come to Ho-
nolulu and sit in the first circuit by
virtue of a law just passed by the late
legislature. 1t provided for temporary
transfers of circuit judges from one
circuit to another in cases where
crowded calendars made such a trans
fer advisable.
Chief Justice Frear was asked to
send for Judge Edings as soon as it
became known that Judge Gear had to
leave. 1t is expected that Edings will
be here next week and he will at once
go to work on the crowded calendar
that Gear was not able to take hold of.
When Edings arrives and takes up
his place on the bench of Honolulu
there will be two circuit judges holding
court here side by sde-first Judge
Humphreys, and Judge Edings of the
kona circuit But they will not speak
as they pass by on the way to and from
the courtroom.

POSITION OF CUBANS.
Commissioner Says the Islanders Want
Us To Withdraw.

JACKSONVILLE, cFla.), April 3d.
The Cuban constitutional committee,
which arrived here last night, left to-
day for Washington. General Rafael
Portuondo, one of the committee, de-
fined Cuba's position as follows: Mine
ty-nine per cent of the Cuban people
desire absolute independence. 1t Is their
wish that military occupation by the
United States come to an end at once.
1T may be said that small element
of Spaniards, from purely commercial
motives, favor annexation but the wish
for independence is felt by many Gu
bans and Spaniards alike. These
Spaniards who favor annexation are
not impelled by any love for the United
States. They hate Americans, but they
seem to wish some sort of guarantee as
to their property and business interests.
Peace with the Americans without
the independence of Cuba is impossible
I mean moral peace. / do not mean
to say that in the event independence is
not granted war or revolution would
follow, but there would be no sympathy
no friendliness between the peoples"

CUT THE HOG IN TWO.
There Was No PrepOnder-
ance of Testimony.

The Eldorado Sun tells of the
following strange and unusual
verdict:
Some five or six weeks ago, j.
w. kcnncrly and VIM. Cochran,
two st. Clair county farmers, be-
came involved in law suit over
the ownership of a hog. Kcnner-
ly found the hog in the possession
of Cochran. He claimed it as his
property and demanded that he be
put in possession of it. This de-
mand was refused; aud, as Il re.
suit. kcnnerly swore out writ of
rcplevin, aud armed with this legal
document, Constable Smith, of
this place took possession of the
bone of contentiOn-the hog. a
day was set to determine before
Justice Billingsly, the question of
ownership, but for some reason it
was continued until December 1
The trial of the case consumed
two days, as there was large ar
ray of witnesses on both sides.
Some of these witnesses swore
with great positiveness that the
hog belonged to Kennerly and
others, on the other side. swore
with equal certainty that the hog
belonged to Cochran. There was
no preponderance Of testimony
What was the jury to do! Fig.
uratively speaking, it decided tc
cut the hog in two. The owner.
ship was vested in Mr.. Kennerly
but he was required to pay one
half its value to Mr.. Cochran; ant
it went further and decided tha
each party to the suit should pa.
one-half the costs. To say tn,
least, this is strange and unusu
al verdict, and will, no doubt, Civ,
the jury great notoriety thruou
this section of the State.

saloon licenses pay the light bills
or not, the taxpayer in the end
pays the saloon license. He not

TO HANG.
That Sentence for Dr..
GartrclI at Butler,
Mo.
But the Case Next Goes to
the Supreme Court.

The Circuit Court of Bates
county, before whom DR.. j. l..
Gartrell who formerly lived in Au-
drain, murderer of ID. b. Done
gan, on last Saturday ovcrrulcd
the motion of Gaitrell'S attorneys
for II rchearing. An appeal was
Immediately taken to the Supreme
Court. The ease will not come up
in that tribunal for about n year
and half.
Judge Grover, upon refusing II
new trial in his court, sentenced
Dr.. Gartrcll to be hanged Febru-
AIRY l3, 1902.
In the Supreme Court Gartrell $
attorneys are very hopeful of hav-
ing the case reversed. The princi-
pal grounds selected upon for re-
versal is the fact that the Circuit
Court refused to instruct the jury
that defendant could be found
guilty of manslaughter. In the
instructions the Court only direct
ed an acquittal or a verdict of
murder.
The son, Will Gartrell, who was
also jointly indicted with his ia
ther, was released Saturday immedi-
ately after the motion for new trial
was passed rpon. The State S
theory was that the father and
son had entered into conspiracy
to murder Donegan for his money
However. the evidence on the tri-
al of DR.. Gartrell showed clearly
that the son had nothing to dc
with the killing.
The defendants attorneys are
very much gratified at the outcome
as to the boy. They will now
make a strong fight in the Su-
preme Court for the father.
Will Gartrell reached Mexico
Sunday, where he dined with his
sisterand other relatives. He vii
remain here n few DAYS and ther
60 to st. Louis, where he has Sc
cured a good position.

Inhuman Butchers.

a Washington man writes to
one of the New York papers stat
ing that in his boyhood, when Il
butcher killed a COW, he first
struck the animal on the head,
then cut its throat, and then, be-
fore life was extinct, began to take
the hide off; aud he says that he
has been informed of the exist
encc of the same inhuman methods
of procedure at the present day.
Time to call halt here. We
hope we have no such butchers in
Mexico or Audrain county. But
following this thought further, au-
other writer says:
There is undoubtedly II chance
for any butcher to be inhuman a
bout his work if he happens to be
cruel or careless. Most people do
not like to see any such work GO
ing on, and keep as far away from
it as they can; and those who
amuse themselves by going thru
slaughter houses, in Chicago or
elsewhere, are not apt to be per
sons of very delicate nerves.
The public, however. has Il re
sponsibility in this matter. ant
there is no reason why butchers
should not he compelled to tax,
life as swiftly and by aS mercifu
methods as they can. The Hin.
doc believes that the condition ot
mind in which an animal is ut tn,
time of its death has an intluenc,
over the person who eats the meat
and tho this may seem rather far.
fetched, if it is true that terror
and torture have an evil effect up
on the hcalth-as they undcniably
dot might well he that thcs,
emotions would affect the condi.
ton of an animal so that its flesh
would not be aS fit for food as i
would if properly killed, without
unnecessary cruelty. But all this
is beside the question. The rca
point at issue is that we canno
afford to have unmatched and I'M
controlled a class of men in tn,
community who are so brutal, Sc
callous and so cruel that they will
deliberately or carelessly torture {
helpless animal.
