SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS.
Hardy Beasley Takes Appeal to Su-
preme Court.

PAOAV SOuA VI
Circuit Court at Tiptonville closed
this week and the attorneys have
returned to their homes.
Interest was conferred IN the trial
of Hardy Beasley, indicted with the
murder Of Dick Darnall in Upton.
Vile, March, 1901. The case was
called Tuesday, a jury selected and
the evidence finished Thursday
morning at half past ten o'clock.
]. w. Lewis, F. ]. Caldwell, Bur-
nett & Donaldson, Gen. D. ]. Cald-
we'll, for the prosecution, and Jno.
E. Wells and Pierce & Son, for the
defense, comprised the counsel.
The argument continued until 10
o'clock at night, when the case was
given to the jury. Friday morning
at 7 o'clock the twelve men returned
verdict finding the defendant gull
ty of mans1aughter and assessed
his punishment at five years in the
penitentiary. Mr.. Wells entered a
motion for a new trial on the grounds
that the verdict was not sustained
by the evidence and certain errors
claimed to have been made in the
charge to the jury. Argument on
the motion was set for Monday.
At that time the motion was over
ruled and an appeal taken to the
Supreme Court, which meets at
Jackson next May. The bond was
fixed at $4,000.
The evidence was substantially
given as heretofore with the excep-
ton of the negro, Joe harrington,
a new witness who claimed to have
been present at the scene of the
homicide. He stated on examin-
alton that he saw Beasley fire the
first time, shooting Darnall in the
back as the latter stood looking in
at the post Office window with his
back toward the door.
The newly discovered evidence
relied upon in asking the court for
a new trial was that of another
party who says that Joe harrington
had told him before the trial that
he Darlington wasn't present
when the shooting occurred and
didn't know anything about it.
A stenographic report was made
of the case by Mr.. Spradlin, who
will make a transcript within the
next twenty days.
Public sentiment in Lake County
is not altogether the same as it was
since the case was first called, so
we are informed by gentlemen in
touch with all the facts.
Isham Lee, who was tried in
Lake County for killing Austin
Turner, was sentenced to FIVE years
in the penitentiary. No appeal was
taken,

NE FOUND IT,

Partly because of Good Fortune and Partly
 because He was Watching and searching.
 When Columbus set sail in search of . new continent the wise men of his time called him an adventurous fool Yet he d;scorered Americn. You may say that was an accident Yes, but it was the kind of accident that happens only to men who are looking for it. During long profess ional practice Dr. David Kennedy, of Kingston, N. Y., was continually watching out for a better medicine than any thus far known for certain complaints. He could not imagine when or how he should find it; perhaps (more likely indeed) he should never find it at all. So ke thought. But tbe right idea came to him finally and the result was the preparation called Calcura Solvent. The name means solvent, or dissolver, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the kidneys or bladder; a remedy for the cure of gravel, and of diseases caused by various toxic or poisonous substances or acids in the blood or glands. Experiment showed that Calcura Solvent would cure red or white gravel without pain or danger to the patient, ind expel from the system the uric acid which causes gout and rheumatism. If 1t did no more Dr. Kennedy's discovery would stand as one of the most useful ones in the history of medicine, but it is equally effect i've in complaints of the digestive organs. Itis a medicine for physicians and a medicine for the people. Be sure about the name-CdI- cura SOlcent, Dr. Kennedy's new medlcane.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF CREAM HILL LAKE.
 The beauty, charm and quiet of Cream Hill Lake is making it favor fte spot at which to spend week or so of pleasant recreation. This year quite few improvements have been added to the camps about the lake.
 "Rockydell" camp, which is owned by Lime Rock parties, presents an entire ly new appearance, with wide veran- da and a fresh coat of green and white paint. Judge Harrison has built a rustic cottage on the old picnic grounds and here come members of his family with their friends as sweet pleasure wills. This is also true of the family of John E. Calhoun, who has a pretty cottage and boathouse at the edge of the lake. But for rustic sim- plicity and camping which is camping the ''Takitezy" camp, owned by James A. Cochrane, comes ahead of them all. It is situated on rise of ground just back from the lake 'and from the op- posite shore an unaccustamed eye fails to discover break in the forest which skirts the water. One has to be fa- miliar with the spot to find the loca- tion. Here there are only a rough slab cabin and tent for sleeping quar- ters and table under canvas makes the dining room, yet what other din- ing room offers the beautiful view ob- tained from this one? The wide stretch of water with the glint and glisten of the sun on the waves and nipples which gently wash inshore un- der the caress of a refreshing breeze. And who of all the people who have camped in this pleasant spot for the past few years, would exchange it for any other location on the lake. Pond Hill, a cleared lot on high eminence, surrounded by woods and from which there is a. view of all the neighboring localities as we'll as view of the Cats kill Mountain house on clear day, is

THE aUNNERY.- FAMILY SCHOOL FOR
 The Gunnery was founded by F. w. Gum about 1850. Under his manage ment the school became very we'll known. Writers have occasionally made it the subject of newspaper and magazine articles, and under the nam of the "Bird's Nest" Dr J. G. Holland introduced it into his novel 'Arthur Bonnicastle'
 In 1874, John c. Brinsmade, agradu- ! ate of Harvard, and nephew of Mrs Gum, became assistant teacher in the school; in 1876 he married MT Gums daughter, and on the death of MT Gum in 1881, he became principal of the school and has remained. such ever since. Mrs Brinsmade has shared with her husband the responsibilities and duties connected with the manage ment; her connection with the family life has been an intimate one, and she has had great influence in shaping and directing the lives of the members of the school.
 The aim has been to follow as close ly as possible the best traditions of the old Gunnery; to preserve the spirit while changing the letter to suit the growing demands for improved meth ods and appliances in education. The following extract from an arti- cle in the New York Evening Post in 1881, is applicable to the Washington of to-day:
 '"The town of Washington has been itself. The village is perched upon a hill, sloping with precipitous sides down to swift river. All around lie rich farms, broken by wild stretches of swamp, ravine and woodland. Nature and the hand of man have both done their best to make the region at once fruitful and picturesque. Crime and vice have been almost unknown; for 50 years rumshop has never been open ed in the village, except as rash and transitory experiment.; the dwellings never used to be locked at night, and neighbors ran in and out of the open doors as freely as if all houses were owned in common. Add to these so- cial traits of the village, hospitality and unbounded local pride, and one can see how favorable were the sur roundings for a training spot for boys. The boys needed no rigid bounds, no narrow code of rules as to going here or not going there, for go where they would in the village, they could find only incentives to good conduct
 A correspondent of the Springfield, Republican, in his account of the school reunion of 1892, says:
 "Now that ones eyes have been opened to the vernal glories of the most beautiful region in the State, and have studied even from within the innermost circle the fascinating story of an institution truly rare, a feeling of compassion arises for so

 Washington is at an elevation of about 800 feet above sea level. The air is dry, and the place has really be- come we'll known as a health resort. Its railroad station is on the Shepaug, Litchtield & Northern Railroad, about three hours by rail from New York.
 The grounds comprise about 50 acres of open land and woods, hill and vale.
 The Gunnery buildings are on the southern slope of the village hill, and all the boys rooms have a sunny ex- posture. The main building is of three stories, and within the last few years it has been added to and improv- ed in various ways. It is heated by steam. The Cottage" and the "Ab- bey" are smaller buildings with ac- commodations for 10 boys: In smaller building very near to, but not connect ed with, the main building, a large part of the cooking and laundry is done and here too, the servants all live. An abundance of pure running water is supplied from springs on an eastern hillside.
 The schoolhouse, a two-story struc- ture, was built in 1883; the first floor has school and recitation rooms and a chemical laboratory; the second floor contains large hall for general ex- ercises and two rooms connecting.with the stage, in one of which is the ap- paratus for Natural Philosophy. The Gymnasium has two bowling alleys, a space for baseball practice, and room for exercise. The Gymnasium has been recently fitted up with apparatus, the gift of the Alumni. It is located or the ball ground, which is directly across tho street from the main house. There are accommodations for about 40 boys. In general the only require

If its for the kidneys. liver. bladder or blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, or the weaknesses peculiar to women, the most efficient medicine known to the medical profession is Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. and very simple way to find out if you need it, is to put some urine in glass tumbler and let it stand 24 hours if it has sedi- ment or milky. cloudy appearance, if it is ropy or stringy. pale or discolored, you do not need a physician to tell you that your kidneys and bladder are badly affected.
 The Rev. Theodore Hunter, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Greensburg. Ky., writes us the following:
 "It gives mo much pleasure to state that I have received great benefit from the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. Some time ago had . severe attack of kidney trouble, but flow bottles of 'Favorite Remedy have entirely removed the malady." "Favorite Remedy" speedily cures such dangerous symptoms as pain in the back. frequent desire to urinate, especially at night, burning scalding pain in passing water, tho staining of linen by your urine.
