1, In a criminal court prosecution
only such confessions of the defendant
as are shown to have been made volun
tarily without fear of punishment or
hope of reward, are admissible in evi-
desce. .
2. The father of the accused, shortly
after the commission of the aliened
crime, pointed a shotgun at his head
and said: "James, you are my prisoner:
I have a right to arrest you: vou shall
go to Harrison ana tell the slieritT,
county attorney and corner's jury all
about the killing of II, R , and you will
get clear; but if you don't you will gt
convicted." Accused consented to the
demand of hi father, and mails a confes
sion to the officers named. Held, that
evidence of such oeofessiun was Inadmis
sible.
8. Futlier confessions by the accused,
subsequent to audi extored confession,
will be equally inadmissible, if so related '
in point nf surrounding circumstances
and proximity of lima a to raise a
presumption that the influencer result
Ing la the first confession have not ceased
to operate upon his mind.
4. Evidence exclaimed, and held, that
certain subsequent confessions war sur
rounded by such circumstance and
removed from lite influences leading to
tlte first contention by , sunn a lapse of
time, as to raise presumption that tltey
war voluntary, and therefore admissible

Some editors (?) have a habit of con
taminating their sheets with sqibs of a
defamatory character, reflecting upon
the character of some other newspaper
man. These only tend to detract from
standing of the party doing the slander
act and will, if persisted, in, read the
publisher out of job. The act is coward
ly and unmanly. If the editor has any
personal grievance., he should not bur
den the public with them. The readers
of the newspapers have troubles of thei
own, and not wish to be troubled with
something entirely irrelevant and un
calleu for to say to say the least. The
proper course for these assumptuous
disciples of Ben Franklin is to see the
party with whom they have a grievance
personally and have it rectified or go to
the courts for redress as other business
men do. These "smart aletks" may be
able to say something that will cause
the vulvar to smile, but the reat mass
of thinking citizens, either one of whom
are superior intellectually to this clans
of writers will look upon it with pity as
a jealous effort to belittle the effort ol
their supriors. Newport Republican.

with his parents fourteen years Oo, and
lias grown from youth to manhood here,
where lie was well known and respected
by a.11. Everyone knew him as a hrihL
nd promising young man with a bright
future before him. In the fall of 1898
he went to University Place where he
attended the Nebraska W'esleyan Uni ver

position he held until April 1, when his
health again failing, he gave up his
Ksitinn nnd came home, where all that
loving hands and medical skill could do
was done to relieve his pain, but it was
Hod's will that he should be called away
snd just us the sun went down on Satur
day, Mav 16, his spirit look it's flight
and the tired body went to il's long rest.
Ttie news of his decenpe, therefore,
while not entirely unexected by the
community nevertheless brought grief

The funeral services were held in the
Woouiiians hall on Monday afternoon at
8 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W, L. llor
ton, the text being Gen. 82; 17. -'Whither
goest Thou." The house was filled

abroad.
After tho services the funeral train
wended it's way to the Pleasant Ridge

THE MARKET VALVE OF A KISS-
Miss Francis Pettis, of New York, hvd
a rainer slow sort ot a lover and was
aide to keep tab on him. After a court
ship of eight or ten years the lady heard
that the lover was paying attentions to
another and she sued him for breach of
promise. She brought her note book in
to court and from it proved that the
sw.iin had kissed her 1,236 times, an
average of a little more than two a week.
The jory brought in a verdict ef 3,000
damages. There is a great deal of con
fusion in the minds of the young people
of ttie country since this veidict was
brought in. At first blush they are in
clined to believe that the jury charged
the man If 2 .43 a kiss. This is thought to
be wrong. It is alleged by most young!
people that if the girl is what she ought
to be and professes to be, a kiss, in a
courtship is a stand-olf as one party gels
as much good out of it as ttie other.
However, on maturer reflection the pub
lic is settling down to the belief that the
damages were awaided by the jury l-e-cause
the man didn't improve his time
better and kiss her oftener. No fellow
worth his salt having gained access bv
precedent, to a lady's lips, would let her
go off with .less than twelve hundred
kisses per week omitting Sundays if
there was any conscientious scruples in
the pair against Sunday work. That
would lie only two hundred a working
day. Because, if the jury was trying
to estimate the market value of kisses it
was a good deal off. At wholesale rates
$2.43 is commonly regarded excessive
