HOT STUFF WRITES AGAIN
Shadynook Fencecorner, Jan. 16.
Editor The Journal.
1 write this with the electricity
of an expert. Some people, you
know, were always slow; but I
never was. To illustrate: Me and
the professor were putting up a
stovepipe in my ten-story resi
dence. We slipped and fell. I
hit the ground, jumped up, walk
ed ten blocks, brought a bottle of
liniment to rub myself and got
half way up the ladder before the
professor hit the ground.
The next thing I got into, the
professor and me went to Cuba to
fight the Spaniards. We were put
in charge of one of those big guns.
We rammed down a 500 pound
ball with 10 kegs of powder be
hind it. The lock was out of
whack and it would not shoot.
The captain came around and told
me to go in the thing and chop
the ball out with my hatchet.
While in there at work I lit a ci
gar and the blamed thing caught
fire and went off. I rode that ball
-0 miles right through a blamed
bodock hedge and I tell you 1 had
to chop like the devil to keep them
brush from scratching my eyes
out, but when the ball stopped 1
was in 30 steps of home. I got
t here just in time to go to the pro- !
feasor's exhibition he had out at j
Oakland for the purpose of re
painting the old school house and
re placing the pump handle that
Fate McClain’s old one-eyed mule
broke off three years ago. lie
was going to read an essay, as he
called it; one of his own gitup. He '
had got dim Barber’s old sheep'
pen and made a platform to stand
on. He jumped up on the plat
form and said: “Ladies and gen
tlemen and feller siti/ens, likewise
the folks that live around Oak-j
1 school house. We should
put our heads together and hearts'
together and stop this immigra
tion from China, for we don’t
want them Chinamen to come ov
I er here and marry our sons and
| daughters. VVe should put our
j hearts together and stand upon a
! platform as sound as the one 1
stand upon—”
About that time his old sheep
pen fell over and down he came,
platform and all, and upset a lamp
which set tire to the old shack.
The professor tried to jump
through a window, but got fasten
ed. dim Barber stood off a safe
distance and yelled to the profess
or to wiggle out. 1 walked up
arrd gave him a gentle pull he
came right out.
So the house is not painted yet'
and the old broken pump handle
is in a worse condition than he
found it. Hot Stuff, i
Imperfect Digestion*
Means less nutrition and in con
sequence less vitality. When the
liver fails to secrete bile, the blood
becomes loaded with bilious pro
perties, the digestion becomes im
paired and the bowels constipater1

tone to the stomach, liver and kid

clears and improves the complex
ion, infuses new life and vigor to

HOWS THIS FOR WINTER?
Corry, Pa., Jan. 17.—A renew
al of Thursday's blizzard last night
has again interfered greatly with
traffic on all roads. The Chicago
limited on the Erie was ten hours
late this morning and the Cleve
land express live. Last night a
Pennsylvania passenger train
stalled in a drift for hours. The
snow plows are constantly in use,
and heroic efforts are being made
to keep traffic open. The James
town, Chautauqua & Lake Erie is
completely tied up on account of
disabling of the snowplow. Men
are now shoveling the snow off
the road, and it may be open by
tomorrow.
Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bob
bitt of Bargerton, Tonn.. saw her
dying and were powerless to save
her. The most skillful physicians
and every remedy used, failed,
while consumption was slowly but
surely taking her life. In this
terrible hour I)r. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption turned
despair into joy. The first bottle
brought immediate relief and its
continued use completely cured
her. It?s the most certain cure in
the world for all throat and lung
troubles. Guaranteed bottles 50c
and $1.00. Trial bottles free at
Sturdivant's Drug Store.

of no medicine that is equal to it.

Cured Lumbago.
A. B. Canman, Chicago, writes
March 4, 1903: “Having been
troubled with Lumbago at differ
ent times and tried one physician
after another, then different oint
ments and linaments, gave it up
altogether. So 1 tried once more,
and got a bottle of Ballard's Snow
Linament, which gave me almost
instant relief. I can cheerfully re
commend it, and will add my name
to your list of former sufferers.”

JEFF AND WOOD FINED.
Hope, Jan. 1 ♦>.—In Mayor J.II.
Black's court the trial of Gov. Jell’
Davis and Judge Carroll L). Wood,
growing out of their personal en
counter during the joint discussion
in the opera house here on Decem
ber 18 last, terminated at 5:30 this
afternoon.
Mayor Black assessed a fine of
$10 against each of the defendants
for breach of the peace. In addi
tion, he fined Gov. Davis $50 for
aggravated assault. Each of the
defendants, by their attorneys,
Hied notice of an appeal to the
circuit court.
The testimony of twenty-one
witnesses was taken before Mayor
Black. A preponderance of the
evidence pointed to the conclusion
that Gov. Davis was the aggressor
in the trouble, and the fact that
the governor was fined for aggra
vated assault shows that the court
believed from the testimony that
the clash was precipitated by the
governor.
Judge Wood was again present
today, but Gov. Davis did not ap
pear, not having come to Hope
for the trial. When all the evi
dence was in Hon. W. M. Green
addressed the court in behalf of
Judge Wood, and was followed by
Judge .Tames lb Wood of Hot
Springs, also on the part- of Judge
Carroll Wood. The argument,
was closed by Hon. (’. C. Hamby
of Prescott., who appeared as the
attorney for Gov. Davis. Mayor
Black at once announced his de
cision in the two' vases.
the notice of appeal had been giv
en the proceedings were closed.
Each side had waived the right
of trial by jury, agreeing to sub
mit the case on the evidence ad
duced. There was practically
nothing new developed in the
sworn statements of the witnesses,
the testimony being substantial
ly in line with that published in
the form of affidavits soon after
the tight.
Quietude prevailed in the court
room today, and Mayor Black did
not deem it necessary to renew
his order of yesterday requiring
those in the room to be searched.
Domestic Troubles.
It is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic rup
tures occasionally, but these can
be lessened by having Dr. King's
New Life Pills around. Much
trouble they save by their great
work in stomach and liver troubles.
They not only relieve you, but
cure. 25c, at J. 1. Sturdivant's
