Every Ounce Ton Eat.

Every ounce of food that you eat that fails to digest does a pound of harm. It turns the entire meal into poison. This not only deprives the blood of the neces- sary tissue e-building material, but it poisons it. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a perfect digestant. It digests the food regardless of the condition of the stom- ach. It allows that organ to rest and get strong again. Relieves Belching, Heart Burn, Sour Stomach, Indigestion, Palpitation of the Heart, etc. W. H. Cook, Hilton. N.

That Ernest Jackson killed the Pen field girl at Falls Village unintentional- ly, is generally believed. The coroner $ finding was that her death was caused by criminal act or negligence. A prob able theory of the affair is that Jackson was vexed at his wife for not obeying his commands to come in here," and raised the gun to his shoulder as bluff to frighten his wife and accidentally pulled the trigger when the Penfield girl was in range. It is pretty evident that at that moment neither Mrs. Jack son nor Date" Rice were in position so that Jackson fired at either one of them and hit the Penfield girl because of bad aim It may be that Jackson intended to kill his wife or "Date '' Rice, of whom it is said he was jealous
 but Jackson is fairly intelligent negro
 shrewd, and was apparently not drunl enough to be irresponsible, and pre-
 meditated murder of one person in tht presence of three witnesses is scarcely to he believed. All the witnesses to tht killing are evidently determined to cleal Jackson of criminal intent and thu actual truth of the circumstances vii
 probably never be known. f.
