Gun Toting.

six OF the twenty negroes arrested
following the Mallouf outrage Tues
day night were armed with re
yolyers. The offenders were taken
before justice of the peace yester
day and each was fined $50 ane
costs. The punishment was almost
as severe as slap on the wrist.
When a man arms himself with a
revolver or any other deadly weapon
he can have but two objects. He il
either arming in self defense, or to
commit a murder. A man who wi
carry deadly weapon for any rea-
son other than self protection, he
is a menace and should be In the
penitentiary
twenty-five dollars is a fortune
to the gun-toting negro. but the
mere fact that he can be required
to pay or work out the equivalent is
not sufficient to deter him from car,
rying deadly weapon concealed in
his clothing.
In most states 1t Is felony &c
carry concealed weapon and the
average man will think twice before
arming himself. If the lawmakers
of Illinois were not such bunch OF
sapheads, Cairo would have been
able to punish the six negroes in
such manner that they would leave
their "arsenals" at home in the flu
fure.
Cairo is filled with bad men, white
and black. The bad men are bad
because the law permits them to
carry reyolvers, with which to shoot
down their victims when hard press

gun and bottle of whiskey and
there Is no law that he will not yio-
late. If he is hard up for money,
lie will commit a robbery and If his
victim or victims resist he will COM
NIT murder.
A fine of 500 is not severe enough
as a punishment to command re
spect of the law. In most states
it is felony to carry concealed
weapons and the man who violates
the law is apt to wind up in the
penitentiary. few years in the
pen is enough to make the average
gun-toter think twice before armihe
himself.

Before began to take Cardui. the woman's tonic, my back and head would hurt so bad, day and night, l thought tho pain would kill me. I was unable to attend to any of my household duties.
 I had only taken three bottles of Cardui, when l began to feel like q new woman. Within few months l gained 35 pounds. and now. I not only do all my own housework and washing but most of the time run big water mill. while my husband runs the farm.
 I wish every suffering woman would rive Cardui trial for I am sure it would help them, as it has me"
 At an expense of $500 for three bot ties of Cardui Mrs Woods regained her health, and is now able to attend to the numerous duties, which, former ly, she either had to hire done, or neglect, thus increasing her cost of living.
 Lady reader, are you suffering from any of the ailments so common to your sex? Wouldn't it be worth a few do! : lars to you to feel well enough to look >- after your daily work?
