ard says: The jury in the Kart case
did not retire until $50 p. NJ. Tues

In an able manner addressed the jury
for one hour and forty five minutes,
followed by d. M. Hertzog for the
prosecution, who ably presen led his
side Of the case. His address consum
ed one hour and quarter. Judge
Reppert then charged the jury in an
impartial manner. r. r. Kennedy
asked the court TO instruct the jury
on the following point:
eff any one juror, singly and alone,
should have a reasonable doubt as TO
the guilt of the defendant, then that
juror should give the defendant the
benefit of the doubt, and he could net
be conyieted.
The courts answer was:
''The law contemplates the agree
ment OF II men of the jnry. The de-
PENDANT cannot be convicted until
each member Of the Jury is satisfied
of his guilt beyond a reasonable
Doubt
The jury for some reason did not
agree as soon as was expected, under
the evidence, but on the contrary they
were out all night without agreeing.
About 1915 this morning they filed
into the court room, looking the worse
of the wear, and announced a verdict
of not guilty, which created general
surprise to the court and public.
In conversation with one Of the ju
rors he saiG that they took % ballots.
The first ballot they stood six for con-
yietion and six for acquittal They
stood this way up until nearly mid
night. On some Of the ballots after
this, he said majority would be for
conviction, and then again majority
for acquittal, and it was not until 10
o'clock Wednesday that they agreed.
lie said there was no one who saw the
defeudent fire the building, and for
this reason they acquitted him.

kim wood now has progressive
board of trade A call was made by
the mayor for a meeting of the citi
zens OF the town which was answer
ed by more than 100 of Kingwood S
leading citizens. AT the first meet
ing steps were taken toward the or
ganization of board. The meeting
appointed a committee of twenty five
whose duty it was to take such steps
as tuey thought necessary toward
the upbuilding of the town and get
ting enterprises to locate therein.

tee has organized by electing the
following officers: Gus j. Shatfer

encouragement that they will sue

pered and fear grips the heart. Homes
are forsaken. People flock to the rail-
roads frantic to escape from the infected
city. But shout warning against dys-
pepsia and who is alarmed? Nobody.
Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an
nually III the United States than pesti-
lence could probably claim in decade.
THE WEAK SPOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger chan his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishment? From the
stomach. Where is the uourishinent
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All are nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
stomach and in time the heart stops beat
ing. We must eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
man that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem to understand is that Starva-
ton is just as sure when the man is fed,
if by reason of disease the stomach cannot
convert the food it receives into nutri-
ton for the body and its several organs.
The sign of starvation is enlaciation,
loss of flesh. That's the sign of dyspep-
STA and weak stomach also. The dys-
peptic eats enough but the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail to extract the nourishment from the
food and so the body grows lean and the
strength of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERACY.
There is certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the body is only general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
are involved III the same weakness"
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied organs are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.
rFor about two years / suffered from a
very obstinate case of dyspepsia" writes
r. L. Secord, Esq, Of Is Eastern Ave,
