only moot case.

criminal offense by a justice OF the
peace is entitled to an appeal within
reasonable time, as matter OF right.

by the justice who rendered tho
judgment, IL applied for within a rea-
sonable time. and, IL he refuses 1t, ap-
plication therefor may be made to the
circuit court OF the county, or the
Judge thereof in vacation.
IL. Refusal OF the justice to allow

allowance thereof by such court or

ter. under such circumstances, justi-
fies a writ Of error from this court to
the Judgment OF refusal.
10. A doubt arising on the evidence

HUMANE SOCIETY
Is Badly Needed in Community
and Local Writer Wants
to Form One.
(Communicated.)

Tho arrest OF Andrew Miller re-
Gently for cruelty to q horse should
serve as reminder to the people Of
this city that we are badly In need
OF humane society. There are many
other instances OF inhuman treat
ment of dumb animals. In fact, every
day we see horses pulling heavy loads
that are hardly able to walk on ac-
count of swollen feet and sores. The
hot summer Is now coming on and
the suffering will be greatly intensi-
fed.
Worked in heavy harness all day,
shut In badly ventilated stables nj
night and tortured by flies, what rest
does the poor beast OF BURDEN,
have? We boast OF our progressive
little city, our charitable orguniza-
lions, our board OF trade, etc. We arc
proud OF the work they are all doing,
but ia there anything that would re-
fleet more credit upon our city than
a good humane society for the pro-
lection of our poor, abused dumb an
imals?

Jewels Presented.

Under the most auspicious cir
cumstances, veteran jewels were pre-
scented to twenty members Of Weston
Lodge No. 43, Knights Of Pythias, at
special services Sunday. Among the
grand lodge officers present was Sam
r. Nuzum, OF Fairmont, supreme rep
resentative, who was heard in an ad-
dress to the members and visitors as
Bembled.
The jewels are accorded only to
those members who have had twen-
ty-fve years OF continuous service in
the order, and the fact that the Wes-
ton lodge had twenty who were en-
titled to them shows that the organi-
ration has been a strong one for a
number Of years.

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and Eat
 Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex- posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin. called uric acid, which is gene rated in the bowels and absorbed in the blood It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurityy In damp and chilly. cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid neys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to elimi nate this uric acid which keeps accu- mulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad 'Salts;- put table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for week This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor maj action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.

An Ideal Remedy
 for Nursing Mothers

Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs
 Safe for Baby and Mother.
 Constipation is a condition that af- fleets the old, young and middle-aged. and most people at one time or an other need help in regulating the ac- tion of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and purgatives should not be employ ed to relieve constipation, as their eff feet is only temporary while they shock the system unnecessarily.
 A remedy that can be used with per feet safety for the tiniest babe and that is equally effective for the strong est constitution is found in the com bination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin and sold in drug stores every where for fifty cents a bottle. This is an ideal household remedy and should be in every family medicine chest.
 Mrs. F. I. Barsolow, IS Leslie St., Mass, wrote to Dr. Caldwell, Syrup Pepsin certainly is fine. gave it to my baby, Evelyn, and also took it myself. It is the only medicine I have been able to take without affect ing Baby in the nursing. have used is for all four children and it is fine;

SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROBABLE IN BISBEE
 RESIDENCE SUBURBS
Upper Lowell and JigeerviIle Property Holders Signing Petitions to Have Sewer Line Built to Section.

Looking toward the improvement of Upper Lowell and Jiggerville, in the matter of sanitation there is move ment on foot which promises to result in a complete sewer system by sum- mer. If the majority of the property holders in the two towns signify their willingness it is probable the Copper Queen Company and the Lowell Club will see that the system is extended to include that part of the District.
 About two years ago there was a movement on foot. similar to the one now launched. With the advent of the European war and the general suspen- sion of business the matter of seaveng- ine was dropped.
 The residents of Upper Lowell and Jiggerville, at the present time handle the garbage question by paying SO much for each room. The refuse is handled by wagon and it is said that the system is not satisfactory On top of this situation is the presence of dry lavatories. It is to eliminate both of these handicaps that the system will. probably be introduced.
 Three petitions are now in the field One is at the office of L w. Wallace. Two others are in Upper Lowell and Jiggerville and can be signed. It is
 ated that the signers do not render femselves liable to anything by affiX- ae their signatures. The purpose of ae petitions is merely to show wheth-
 or not there is majority of the loperty holders in favor of the i'm provement.
 Should the work be decided upon it is probable a connection will be made with the city's line. below Lowell pro- per From there the main line will be extended to include the two suburbs. It will then be up to the property hold CTS to connect with the sewers. From all present Indications it would appear that the residents are more than hear. tily in favor of the proposition
