THE WHIPPING POST
Hoosier Senator Will Try to Get, the Legislature to Establish the Lash.

Evansville Qnd.) Telegram.
 Senator Samuel Crumbaker will intro duce in the Legislature now sitting a bill to establish a whipping post in ln- diana. Senator Crumbaker says in re- gard to his bill.
 "There are conditions among men that cannot be met by law. l know that 1t will be said in certain quarters that the whipping post If brought back to Indiana will be a revival of barbarous form of punishment. but I am unable to see 1t in that light. Criminals of the petty kind are sometimes so hardened to the ordinary forms of punishment. such as fines and jail sentences. that instead of being reformed by them they are only made worse.
 "The whipping post would be designed for first offenders in cases of serious aspect. and would be, especially appli- cable. would say. to wife-beaters and wlfe-deserters. Such men are either lazy

N is the Delicious Tonic We
 Advise for Growing Children.

Is your boy or girl pale and listless Do they act differently from other childrenf Do they sleep poorly and eat poorly3 Does your boy avoid the .bports and games of other boysf Does your girl complain of headache and dnd her studies . hardship?
 If so, you may make up your mind they are growing too fast. They need somea ng to help nature in her great work of furnishing the necessary ele- ments for creating flesh and muscle tis- sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red blood.
 They need tonic in the full sense of the word and we can tell you what to get.
 It is vinol Wine of Cod-Liver oil, the great modern reconstructor. Children like it, it is so delicious to the taste, in spite of the fact that it contains . highly concentrated extract of the medicinal principles that are found h sod-liver oil.
 $. But because the vile-smelling and Asting grease has been discarded and sll of the other disagreeable features eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are easily understood.
 Vinol acts favorably on the stomach creates an- appetite and enables tho food that is eaten to do the greatest possible amount of good.
 Following iy t letter that bears di- rectly on this subject:
 '" was all run down and took yincl. It did me so much good and it was so pleasant to take that gave it to my children. They were growing fast and needed something in the way of tonic and l found it to be just the thing for them."-SARAH PICKERING, 1932 Fall River, Mass.
 We cordially invite mothers inter ested in the welfare of their children, as we'll as any one else needing a sure, safe and delicious tonic, rebuilder and rejuvenator, to call on us. We will gladly tell any one all we know about Vinol and why we so highly endorse it.
 Inasmuch as we arc always ready and pleased to refund the cost of vinol to thcse. who don't find it exactly what we claim it to be, it will be seen that we are prepared to substantially endorse tar claims for the excellence of this marvellous preparation.

the little mother and her manly boy of
nine or ten.
Before them was seated a white
haired man, whose almost entirely
sightless eyes were hidden behind a
pair of dark glasses. The man was
trusting to instinct or intuition, which
ever one may call it, more than to
sight to tell him when he had reached
his particular corner. Closely he bent
his face to the glass and hesitatingly
reached his hand toward the bell.

One glance at the proud, pale face
and the little mother answered.:

Then as quick as thought she said il

ASHFORD,

Mrs. Mary L. Manson and George VIII
son were arraigned before Justice N.
Knowlton last Friday. The hearing was
held In Bakers hall, Warrenville. The
complaint was drawn and prepared by
State Attorney John l.. Hunter and signed
by Grand Juror Arnold Upton of Ash
ford, and, In brief, charges Mrs. Manson
and George Wilson with the murder OF
Mrs. Julia A. Wilson, the mother OF
George Wilson, one of the accused, by
the administration Of poison, covering a
period between July 18th and December
18th, 1902, the latter date being the date
of Mrs. Wilson's death. Mrs. Manson
and Wilson were brought from the Brook
Ign jail by Sheriff Sibley. Long before
the hour for the court to open several
hundred people had gathered, and when
the court opened about 11.30 the little
hall was packed. Both prisoners pro-
nounced themselves not guilty. DR.. A.
j. Wolff of Hartford, who had examined
the parts of the body of Mrs. Wilson,
was present, and testified that he had not
completed the examination, but had
found enough arsenic to warrant the con-
clusion that the person from whom the
parts were taken, had died from arsenical
poison. Mrs. Tanner, one of the wit
nesses, said that after the autopsy and
while the stomach which had been taken
from the body was still In the house, Mrs.
Manson asked her II she knew If the doc
tors would have the stomach In the house
over night, or where 1t would be kept,
Mrs. Manson continued saying, Il would
like to put something In the stomach TO
eat it up" Arthur Tanner, husband of
Mrs. Tanner, testified that he also heard
Mrs. Manson say that she would like to
know where they would keep the stom-
ach, and she would put something In it
to eat it up. The accused were not re-
presented by counsel. Mr.. Manson, hus-
band of the accused woman, was present.
Judge Knowlton found probable cause
and bound both accused persons over to
next term of the superior court.
