Other Notes OF Interest From
The Court House

A life sentence in the Ohio peni-
tentiary will be the sentence imposed
upon Charles Suttles, found guilty by
the jury on Tuesday evening on a
charge of ravishing girl under the
age of IL years-the penalty for
which crime, by law passed last
winter, is a life sentence in the PEN
itentiary.
Suttles' trial consumed two days
and it was o'clock Tuesday evening
when the case went to the jury. AT
ter deliberation lasting one hour
and fifteen minutes the jury returned
a sealed verdict as Judge Seward
had returned to Newark on the even
ing train. Wednesday morning at 8
o'clock the verdict was read in court
by Deputy Clerk of Courts Charles
w. Hayes.
1t is understood that the jury was
unanimous in it's verdict of guilty
on the first count of the Indictment
that of ravishing girl under IL years
of age.
Suttles will probably not be sen
fenced by Judge Seward until after
the expiration of three days, during
which time the defendant may file
a motion for new trial.

SULLIVAN
Is Given A Boom For United
States Senator

Hon. ]. ]. Sullivan, formerly state
senator from this district, but for
many years a resident of Cleveland,
has been mentioned as suitable per-
son for United States senator. The
following regarding Col. Sullivan is
from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Friends of Col. ]. ]. Sullivan,
Cleveland banker, started senatori-
al boom in his behalf yesterday. They
say that his experiences in CONNER
cial and banking business and his
wide acquaintance and popularity
throughout the state would make him
formidable candidate. When asked
to declare himself on the question
yesterday the colonel smiled and re-
piled that number had spoken to him
about the senatorship, but that he
was too busy to consider 1t.
Not only has Colonel Sullivan had
much banking experience in Cleve
land, where he is at the head of the
Central National bank and the Super
| ior Savings & Trust Co., but he was
in the mercantile business at Millers
burg for a number of years. He serv
ed two terms as state senator from
that district and was national bank ex
aminer for four years. He was al
officer of the Third Ohio battery dur
ing the civil war"

The United States Government in
it's "Pure Food Law" does not "en-
dorse" or guarantee" any prepara-
ton, as some manufacturers their ad-
vertisements would make it appear. In
the case of medicines the law provides
that certain drugs shall be mentioned
ON the labels, If they are ingredients
of the preparation. Ely's Cream Balm,
the well-known family remedy for cold

tarrh, doesn't containa single injurious
drug, so the makers simply have to
print the fact that it complies fully

RHEUMKTI
WEAK KIDNEYS & THIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work OF
removing the waste of oxodized It's
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and Inflammation of the flesh.
