Judge Dantzler In the -' afternoon sentenced the young men. Ollle Pon der was sentenced to one year on the county chalngan* or* In the oenlten Uary. To Lum West he gave a sen tence of thirty days on the cbalngang or payment of a Una of $190 Both sentences are the limit allowed under the law and Judge Dantzler yesterday expressed a regret that he was un able to make the sentedcos heavier. Counsel for defense did act make a motion for a new trial and It Is not probable that there will be any fur ther contest In the case. ' In sentencing the young men Judge Dantzler remarked that they had no one to blame but themselves. He said that they were anarchists la em bryo and that the act was one that showed a tendency toward anarchism and socialism. He expressed a par ticular regret that he could not make the sentences heavier and stated that he intended not only to punish the convicted men but to make an ex ample of them The jury yesterday made a dis tinctlon between the two men taking the view that West was lead into the act by Ponder. In the first case they returned a verdict of aggravated as sault and in the second simple as sault. The verdict of the Jury as to finding the men guilty was not unex pected and was arrived at within a short time, the jury being out about thirty minutes. Yesterday morning the case was re sumed and the defense continued with their testimony The main line of the defense was that the boys were not at the Coburn house on the night of the occurrance. An alibi was testified to which, however, was not given conslderat'on by the jury Th“ young men denied that they tool:- 'tart ip the whipping, although they ststed that they knew that the wo man was whipped by some one. There was yesterday three argu -nents made to th> jury, they taktne up the major pt rtion of the morn Ing. Mr. J S.

He summed up the testimony and presented the case to the Jury In a clear light. He called attention to the testimony ot the woman. Mrs. Coburn, which he stated was corroborated by seven witnesses At the conclusion of the solicitor’s argument adjournment was taken for dinner and upon the re-con vening the Judge charged the Jun briefly as to the law. RHEUM A TISM ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER. m ’’Hi U. Lazy Mr. Moody. (World's Work.) On one of his horseback Hues about Washington occurred an Incident which shows the sense of humor of Attorney General Moody. He was riding along when a man galloped up alongside and engaged him in conver sation. He proved to be a newsnaoer correspondent, who had not h®en In the city very long, and who began to talk in a very light vein. "I suppose you’ve met most of the government officials,” said Mr. Moo dy.” "Oh, yes,” replied the correspon dent. "Take those cabinet officers, for example. They are very ordinary neonle. like you and me only some of them are Industrious.” “There’s Postmaster General Payne He works from early to late. Judge Taft is a worker, too.” "How about Secretary Moody?” asked the companion, falling In with the —‘trit of the ^—"ersation. "He’s a big man—but he Is the azlest fellow In the cabinet.” By this time thev reached a drug store and stopned to have a drink of soda water. When they were about to separate. Moody said: “I ve had a very pleasant ride with you I hope we shall meet again.” The newspaper man took out a card and handed It to Moody, who In turn handed him one of his own. But he d'd not wait to witness the correspon dent’s embarrassment. DON’T LET YOUR HUSBAND Forget to order your winter supply of COAL AND WOOD Now while the price is cheap.

I was treated by two doctors and also tried differ- give tt a trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to take it regularly until I was en tirely cured. I now feel better than I have for vears. CHAS. E. GILDZR3LEEVE. *<13 32nd Street, Newport News, Va While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a ggjSMiki winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch* inp nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric aod, which produces the disease, has accumulated. ■ ’ Rheumatism is a disease that involves thfe en- . tire system. . Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Livery Kid* - neys and Bowels, to carry out of the systfcm the ‘ Urea, or natural refuse matter. This com ing u Contact with the different acids of the body forms uric add which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This add causes fermentation of the blood,* malring it sour and unfit for properly nourishing t; the uody, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and comer of the body, the poison is dfstrio-. *3ted tO all part's. The nervous system weakens ant kinds of liniments and medicines which from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe-’ to relieve me from pain for swhile. but at verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased ' tisement of s. a. s. for Rheumatism, i decider! condition of the entire system is the result. to glT# * * trla1, which 1 Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbu/qr muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid i* allowed to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the bloocl, and at the same time build up and strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building-up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up every part of the body by its fine tonic properties. While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely cures Rheumatism in every form—Muscular, Inflamma tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge the blood of every particle of the poison. ^ Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our physicians for any advice you wish.

A man who had watched the affair and claimed to know about hogs, razorbacks In particular, gave the following dissertation: “Arkansr* has a strange variety of hogs and less pork and lard than any State in the union. An average bog in Arkansas weighes about fourteen pounds when dressed with its head on and about six pounds and a half with its head off. It can outrun a greyhound. Jump a rail fence, climb like a parrot and live on grass .roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn’t much of a tail to bristle, but plenty of gall. It will licb a wolf or a bear in a fair fight It Is so called razorback be cause it is shaped like a sunfish In hunting razorbacks they are always shot at sideways for there is not a ghost of a show to hit them other wise, any more than to shoot at a split shingle. It can drink milk out of a quart jar on account of its long, thin head. This type of razorback is known as the atone bog. because its head is so heavy and Its nose so long that It balances up behind. The owner of this type of hog usually ties a stone to its tail to keep it from overbalancing and breaking its neck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over its eyes and It will go blind.” Pawnbroker's Ming and Shnes Must be sold regardless of cost I have to go out of busi ness.
