with which the Spaughs had killed
Sheriff Polk had been left in the
court room, where the jury was
kept over night, and also alleging
that the jury had been separated
during the trial. Messrs. Edgar
and Damron, who had returned
home, went back to Centreville
Monday. The twelve jurors were
brought back into court and they
all swore that the guns being in
the court room had not influenced
their verdict. There was no evil
dence to show the jury had been
separated. The motion for a new
trial will be argued to-day and a
decision will hardly be announced
before tomorrow. The opinion
seems to be that the motion will
be overruled and the verdict of
the jury allowed to stand. The
case against Arthur Spaugh was
continued to the May term of the
Reynolds circuit court.

Better Late Than Never.

1t would, of course, be best for
you to be so careful about what,
when, and how you eat-as never
to suffer from any dyspeptic or
bowel trouble. But if you do slip
up, and begin to suffer the con-
sequences of indiscretions in diet,
it is better to begin then, although
late, to look after your digestion.
At this stage of the game, the best
thing to do is to take DR.. Cald-
wells Qaxative) Syrup Pepsin. 1t

dered man, his son and two daugh-
ters, were in attendance every day
as also was Mrs. John w. Polk
and her four little children.
Court took a recess at 5 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon until 7 P. M
The jury reported at ten O'Clock
this morning. They found Mrs.
Mary E. Spaugh guilty of murder
in the second degree and assessed
her punishment at ten years in the
penitentiary. They found VIM.
Spaugh, Jr., guilty of murder in
the first degree, the punishment of
which will be death. Sentence
will be pronounced later.
When the jury filed into the
court room it was evident from
their pale and axious faces that a
great load was about to be re-
moved from their minds. The
court room was not crowded as it
had been rumored that there would
be hung jury. When the clerk
read the verdict as to Mrs. Spaugh
Attorney Jos. G. Williams de-
manded a poll of the jury. AS
each man arose and answered to
his name the faintest whisper
could have been heard in the court
room. Mrs. Spaugh did not dis
play the least emotion. Her hus-
band stood by, pale and haggard,
as he has since the damning evil
dence against the defendants was
given in Tuesday. VIM. Spaugh
was pale and nervously watched
the proceedings.
1t is the general opinion that the
jury discharged their duty we'll,
and that under the evidence they
could not have done otherwise.

THINGS IN BASEBALL

was an instance at n game last summer
which showed that the emotions OF some
cranks are but surface deep wild eyed
occupant OF the quarter seats was throw
ing his arm forward like n stage driver
cracking a whip 10 encourage base runner
headed for third. Jump for it, he
shIieked Just then his cuff came of,
and u soiled and frayed article OF dress
it was. The fervid rooter forgot all about
the game. Gimme my cuff he yelled
To those in front of him: and he wasn't
satisfied until the cuff had been restored.

cum worry him at a ball game IL a counter

A most remarkable demonstration OF
emotional height attained by baseball en-
thusasts was at the Polo Grounds last
summer when Jack Warner won n game
for the New Yorks by making home run
in the ninth inning. No sooner was the
winning run in than cushions rained on
the field from all parts of the grandstand
There was a shower of cushions all the way
TO the entrance, but the demonstration did
not stop here. Cushions were found two
blocks down Eighth avenue and a few Up
on the tracks of the elevated road.
The dyed in the wool crank resents igno-
rance Of the game and players as cardinal
sin, and jokers frequently take advantage
of this fact to have bit Of fun. Two or
three OF them will get behind the crank
and purposely mscall the names OF the
players. They never fail to get a rise out
Of the crank, who informs them that suoh
ignoramuses ought TO be in an asylum.
An actor playing a leading role in a COMEDY
at one Of the local theatres broke all RECORDS
for ignorance of the game here last summer.
New York was playing st. LOUIS ana tne
actor, after trying not TO appear Doieo,

flight.

II the stories OF the box Offices are true

is told in proof of this assertion:
A playgocr on returning home discovered
that her bunch OF keys was missing, and
she had TO rout out the janibOr in order TO

called up the box Office OF the theatre she
had attended and asked II her keys had

him to forsakc his disconsolate life. With
him. once widower. always widower.
