' tfhe Watausa Democrat Thursday Oct, 23, 180T, r: The Newton Enterprise says: That two white boys, Were brought there last Mon day and lodged io jail." They were arrested on a charge of . cruelty to animals.- They caught udog, cut his throat . and then turned him loose. They were found guilty, and fined $50.00 and costs. They could not pay the fine, and in default were sent to jail. The -only regret the writer has, is, that the punishment hadn't been greater.. 11 chops that the time will soon cme when all the innocent dumb brutes will he protected by law. Boys who-re blood thirsty enough to do such n deed now, may thirst for the blood of a fellow man, when thev are older. Mary of the great and good of the land, have defended the dumb hrutes. CowDer said: "1 would not enter on my lest of friends though he be graced with manners and fine sense the man w h n would heedlessly set his foot Upon a worm. Tupper said: The Angel of Mercy folds his wings and laughs when a cruel man is damned." Geo. W. Pullman, the gi eat millionaire, who made him self famous through the Pul man Palace Sleeping Car and also made wealth to the n- mount of 50,000,000 on the same, died at his home in Chicago on the morning ol 19th, of Oct. 'Je has taken a birth into the great sleeper, that awaits os all. Geo. W. Pullman was born of poor parent, in Brooklyn, N. Y. He started out for himself at the early age of 14 and rvheth er he has made a success fi nancially, the world can judge. He was the founder of an industrial town, in the suburbs o f Chicago, which bears his name. It now con tains 11,000 inhabitants, all of whom are dependent on the works of the Pullman company for their support. No verdict has beer brought in as yet i n the great Lentgert case now pending in Chicago. O u r readers will remember him as the great sausage maker, who cooked his wife in one of the vats some time ago. His wife disappeared, and on in yestigation, and careful ex amination f! the premises, a chain of eyidence was wo ven around him thatitseems will be impossible to break. in the vat were found linger rings corset steels, human bones, buttons, a piece i f her dress, etc., which makes a dark picture for the old gen tleman. The papers s a y, that the people of the city fuwetakena sudden dislike to sausage. Knoxville Tribune; Ten-res-aoehasa debt of several millions that will be due in fifteen year. At present it is borrowing money to pay the interest on the debt. None o f the principal has been ' paid, and no provisions have been made for even a pai tial payment. The bonds can be renewed, but if at theirexpir ation no part of the debt has been paid it may not be an easy matter to place new bonds at a low rate of inter est. It is time Tennessee was making provisions for ' paying f-bme of this debt. The financial affairs of this State demand thoughtful 1 consideration. Clifton Enterprise: There are liars in every community. whose solo aim In life is to set the pot of gossip to boil ing and discontent, says an exchange. Why don't they take a vacation? Society can dispense with their services, and a good long rest of their jaw might kill them. A wag ging tongue that hang on a swivel can do more harm in fifteen minutes "than a skunk i n a graveyard. A person who is addicted to the habit of talking and spread ing news is an eyesore to the world, and is an everlasting nuisance. Electric Blttois. Kleetrio Bitters if a medicine suited for any sason. but per haps more generally needed in the Spring, when the lanauid ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpjd and sluggish and the need of a tonic and ulter- ntiveis felt A prompt use of this medicine has "often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fe vers. No medicine will at t more surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Electric Hitters. Only fifty cents per bottle at anv drugstore. The Dismal Swamp, Virgin ia's famous jungle, is in dan ger of destruction. T h e swamp has been burning for more than a week. Hunters are supposed to have fired the woods, and the fire must barn itself out, as there is no way to stop it. Many deer, bear, foxes and otlir game h 9 ve been driven out of the swamp, and hunters on the hillsjire having great sport killing them.--Ex. The Ulscoury Sated His Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beaversville. 111., sas: "To I)r Kind's New Discovery I owe my lile. Was taken with lagnppe und was jriven up and told could not live. I laving Dr. King's New Discovery in urv store sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dose be. can to aret better, and alter usine thiee bottles was up and about njrain. It is worth its weight iu gold. We Aon't keep store or house without it." Utt a free trial ab any drug store. It is a fine tlurg, no doubt, muses the Providence (B. J.) Journal, to be able to dig $50 a day out of the ground, as it is said to be possible to do at Klondike. But there are eomedisadyaiitages when this opportunity is accom plished by the necessity o eating dog meat $." n pound i Tomahawk : Of course ev ery man who drinks whiskey and gambles can quit when ever he "wunts to,' but the trouble is there are so prec ious few who ever ''want to" until "Old Nick" gets 'em spfely quarantined down in his country of eternal sun shine. Thiii, Pale Children One satisfaction la giving Scott's Emotion to children is they never object t6 it. The fact is, they soon become fond of it Another satisfaction is because it will make them plump, and give then growth and prosperity. It should be given to all children who are jtoohin, or too pale It does not nuke them over-fat, but plump It strengthens the digestive organs and the nerves, and fur nishes material for rich blood. have x fcookUUicj ycu mor? en tfcc subject.
