Every edity has received them.
The postmaster is not to blame.
For instance there was a man who
sent us three notices to stop his
paper, he did not want it any long
or. We wondered what was the
matter. Upon investigation of our
subscription list, we have found he
was short 81 so. He never paid us
a cent. and yet of matter of ac-
commodation to us he stopped his
paper. A few evenings ago we
stepped into a church and his me-
ludious voice rang out in the soul
stirring song, Jesus Paid 1t ALI. :"
We might have been mistaken, but
his earnest manner impressed us.
The next day we sent him a receipt
in full; begging his pardon for not
knowing that he had made an as
signment to the Lord.

Guilty of murder in the second
degree, was the verdict which was
returned against Sidney Cole. who
has been on trial at Parkersburg,
for the murder of William Terry,
ship carpenter of the steamer Key
stone State, which crime was CON-
mitted on the twenty-fourth day of
April, 1901. When the verdict
was returned Cole did not lose the
composure which has been his
throughout the trial. AS the jury
filed into the court room and took
their seats, he gazed into the faces
of each one with lcok of intense
interest, aud as the verdict was read
his lips twitched nervously, but
other than that he showed no signs
of being affected. TbIs ends the
second trial of this famous case.
The jury was out less than three
hours. A motion will be made to
set aside the verdict. The case
may be appealed to the Supreme
Court.

of arresting Turner ut his Quarter

huge logs and is surrounded by a 10
foot fence, in which kopholes are cut,
siders. Turner's surrender was de-
manded. His reply was round OF
shots. Charley Cecil of MIddlesboro
fell dead. Instantly the man who kill
ed him fell back. pierced by half
dozen bullets. The officers scattered,
and hiding behind trees and roots,
poured CALLING fire into the noun
tain fortress. In the fight John Doyle,
a former railroad man, was badly
wounded, perhaps fatally, and Simon
Bean. another ex-railroader, was shot
in the hand. AS soon as Cecil was
killed. his companions determined to
burn Turner'S RENDEZVOUS, and in the
midst of the battle a man applied a
torch to an exposed side of the build
ing. A few minutes later the building
was in flames. Several of the noun,
taineers came to the window and
were Immediately shot down. Turner
and several of his friends, however,
escaped. and he is now at Mingo
mines, eight miles from MiddIesboro.
Several of his men persisted in the
flames.

Inasmuch as the press dispatches

to this.country it seems necessary
for some discreet person to give
him little quiet information on
one point.
This is a country the govern
sment of which is subject to the
Limitations of Constitution, and
that Constitution in article L, Sec
8. clause 8. enacts that mo person
holding Office of profit or trust un-
der them (the United States) shall
without the consent of the Con-
gress accept of any present -
from any King, Prince or foreign
state"
1t may save embarrassment to
have the Prince understand that if
he wishes to give any of the much
advertised presents to any person
holding an Office of croft or trust
under the United States the pres
ents cannot be accepted until the
consent of Congress is obtained.

More Harmful

Overeating Worst Form
of Intemperance,

1fyour food is undigested. YOU are ma.
dorfed, no matter how much Won eat.
And the underfed man is, to the extent
OF the undertaking, crippled for the
battle of life. On the other hand,
there is such thing as overeating.
The harm done by indigestion caused
by overloaded stomachs exceeds that
from the increased heart beats caused
by the use of alcohol or whiskey.
Eat as much good food as you need
but don't overload the stomach. II
gonF stomach is weak it may refuse to
digest what yon cat. Then you ought
TO use good digestant like Kodol Dvs-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you
eat without the stomach's aid. This
rest and the wholesome tonics con.
tanned in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure soon
restore health. You don't have to diet.
Don't eat too much. That's harmful.
But eat enough and OF sufficient Yarie-
ty. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest
