I don't want them to get Into any trouble That the defendant then started to the Morris hotel, stating all right :"
 At the afternoon session the court asked the attorneys for the state if they had examined the showing, and Solicitor Hefn said that they wanted the tele- gram mentioned in the showing more fully set out, but the court held that un- der the circumstances 1t was sufficiently set out.

 Judge Greene then announced that ac- cording to rule the showing would be ad- mitted as testimony only so long as Mrs. Rubel was unable to attend court.
 Another showing was introduced from
 
 they would admit If the witness was un- able to come.
 At this point the showing of Mrs. Rubel was called for by the court, who read 1t in silence.
 Hugh Morrow for the defense made a lengthy plea that a continuance be al- lowed until the witness. Mrs Rubel, was able to appear, He set forth the im- portance of having so important a wit ness meet the court and Jury face to face. saying that the defense intended to show that the deceased was the ag- gressor and that the testimony of Mrs Rubel would have great weight in bring ing this out.
 The court stated that a continuance could not be granted on those grounds. Capt. F. s. White of the defense was al- lowed to make an additional plea. He said that the question of who was ag- gressor would be most important of all and that if the testimony of eyewitnesses conficted all the testimony that would have bearing on the subject should be brought in. He cited the similarity of this case to the Gafford where the ques- tion as to who was aggressor was hope lessly in conflict" He added also that the testimony of the witness would char acterize the defendants motive. Application overruled. The court at S05 o'clock overruled the application to continue to which the de- fense excepted.
 Attorney Morrow then moved to quash the venire, enumerating seevral counts which were largely technical.
 N. L. Huey, J. c. D. Gwin, H. II. Webb H. E. Wooiley and Tobias zopf were examined under the motion to quash, but the court overruled the motion, leav- ing the count referring to H. E. WoolleY unsettled
 This count set forth that Mir. Wool1ey's name was not called in court, which the defense stated they could prove by MT. Meroney, the deputy clerk. His absence made 1t necessary to hold the count over until this morning
 Mir. Morrow for the defense asked to present a demurrer to the indictment and to two counts in the indictment severalIy. The demurrer after short arguments by both sides was overruled by the court and the case was adjourned until 9:30 o'clock this morning.

WATER Does Run Up Hill.

Science has dulled the point of an apt say.
ing, frequently used in illustration. viz:
THAT stream cannot rise higher than its
source" Now the fact is that the mouth OF
the Mississippi river is actually higher
farther from the centre of the earth-than
Lake Itasca, the head of that river. The
water of that stream runs into the Gulf of
Mexico only because OF the fact that as the
equator is approached the speed of the earth
on its axis IS increased-that is, 1t travels
about one thousand miles an hour on rhe
equator and is motionless al the poles, hence
the centrifugal force is greatest as it proceeds
to the south and the water may be said to be
thrown" down ~ stream. Were the earth
movement stopped the water of the Gulf
would be emptied into lake 1tasca, the latter
being lower than the former, or to state 1t
more accurately, nearer the centre Of the
earth.
30 after all, 50 stream may rise higher than
its source"

Letter to Geo. w. StOcksdale.

Dear Sir Messrs Leachman & Edelin,
Grafton, w. Va, had been selling paint,
which they thought well of; and this had &C.
CURED.
They had sold customer 10 gallons Of it
to paint his house. A few years later, they
sold the same man Devoe lead-and .zinc the
same number of gallons to paint the same
house. He had gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II gallons Devoe
paints IN 1S.gallon house.
Do you want to sell itl
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Devoe go as far as Is
gallons of other paint Because it Is all
paint, all true, no sham, and full measure.
nDp you want to sell itf
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer
No, no; you haven't got to wait ten years to
find that out. Ten thousand people know
1t. We've got their names Our agents
know them they think heap OF Devoe'
There's no difficulty in showing your towns
people what TO expect of Devoe. $40 will
paint $15 house; and the paintll last twice
as long.
Do you want to sell it?
