WORK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Van Ray Gets 5 Years. Everett Leach
Discharged. Report Of the Grand
Jury.

Two important cases were dis
posed Of iii the Superior court
last Friday. The first was when
Everett Leach, charged with the
murder of a woman on the Rigs
bee road some time ago, was dis
charged, as there was not suf-
ficient evidence to convict. The
second was when Van Ray was
sentenced to the penitentiary
for eight years.
The case against Leach was
very weak and when Solicitor
Gattis had heard all the testi-
mony. he saw that he had moth
ing to ask for conviction on and
the case was dismissed.
Van Ray was found guilty OF
murder in the second degree and
Judge Biggs thought over the
case and sent her to the pen fol-
a term Of eight years.
Other cases of minor interest
were settled during Friday and
Saturday. The case agains,
Solemn Shepard was continued
for the term as was also the case
against Dixie Johnson. charged
with the murder of her child.

THE Piano With The Sweet Tone. !"

When you want a piano you
want one that will give service
and be an ornament to the home.
The Stieff, which is handled here
by Mr. 7. Foy Simmons, in the
Arcade building, is such an in
strument.
Few people are capable Of maxi
ing a distinction when it comes
to the purchase of a piano, and
it is wrong to put your judge
ment against people that have
made study of the business Of
making a good piano. When you
purchase a Stieff you have the
name back of what you have
purchased, and this is a guaran-
tee that you will get an instru-
ment that will prove to be just
what you have been wanting.
Mr.. Simmons vii take pleasure
in showing you the instrument
he sells and if you cannot call
upon him card will bring you
such information as you may de-
sire.

Inhalino Water.

Undoubtedly the majority of bathers

wader is always liable to inhale spray
through his nostrils. which, passing
through the pharynx and behind the
epiglottis or windpipe guard, gets into
the windpipe and causes death. As
one would expect. water inhaling is
almost wholly confined to the sea and
very rarely occurs in fresh water. All
the same, it may happen anywhere

WATER SPLASHERS.
A Swedish View Of English Life and
Manners.

A Swedish View Of English Life and
Manners.
A sharp tongued correspondent of
Swedish paper, the Svenska Dag
bladet, thus comments on some OF the
peculiarities Of English life and man
ners.
English cleanliness is much spoken
of. The Englishman must have a
great deal of water to wash with. A
quantity must be splashed all over the
room, and in particular there must be
a great pool near the washstand.
When an Englishman washes his face.
in seventy eight cases out Of hun
dred he simply takes the water In bis
hands and blows it all over the floor.
Englishmen are mad over fresh air.
The expression may seem ironical to
those who know how in London one
does not so much breathe the air as
swallow it. Tramway car windows
stand open the whole year round, and
there is no country like England for
the prosperity Of dealers in cough and
cold medicines.
Hygiene may appear to be perfect
in London. but they still say that
much remains to be done. Splitting is
not allowed in the parks. at least not
near the seat have found that one
of the cheapest and best places for
splitting is the British museum. where
it costs only $40. On the Great East
ern railway it does not cost more the
first time, but afterward the price is
S25 a time. in direct opposition to the
usual business principles Of discount
