A FIENDISH CRIME.

Henrico county, Va, was much ex-
cited over rape case. Unfortunately
for the would-be lynchers, the fiend
was white man, who sails under the
cognomen of CHARLES TnIBERLAKE.
His victim was q colored woman whose
age was said to be 65 years.
The case was heard before Justice
THOMAS at the County Court house
Wednesday, July 2Srd. After the wit
nesses had testified, the case was sent
on to the Grand Jury. The penalty in
this state is hanging.
Whenever such cases are reported and
the colored man is accused, the daily
papers have spread-eagle headings and
everything is done in order to excite the
lawless and the vicious. But in this
case, the mans name was mentioned
and five lines were sufficient to tell all
about the outrage.
We shall watch this case with inter
est and keep the public posted as to the
outcome. The penalty is death. If we
yield up colored men charged with rap
ing white women, why should not SINH
lar treatment be meted white men, who
rape colored women?
There is plenty of rope in Henrico
county and there should be plenty of
law to convict guilty man, who stands
charged with so heinous an offense.

ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

| An ancient method of poisoning
criminals was to force them to swal-
low quantities OF BULBS blood. Bulls
blood is really no poison at all. Yet
the prisoner usually died in agony,
caused by the coagulation or harden
ing Of the bulls blood in the stom-
.ach. The pressure Of this solid mass
on the vital organs almost always re-
suited fatally.
That's like indigestion. If your
food doesn't digest it remains in a
hard lump in the stomach. Gases
form which crowd other organs. Many
cases OF supposed heart disease are
due to indigestion.
This trouble is removed by the use
Of such a preparation as Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, wdich gives the stomach
perfect rest by digesting what you eat
without the stomach's aid. The food
builds up the body. The rest restores

have to diet.
