Harry l'loth. tho lS-yoar-old youth who
Wiled Edward 1'ec on the nlRht of AuRust
22 by kicking him In the head, was sentenced
to a term of three years In thn penitentiary
at hard labor. Klolh was brought before
Judse linker at 3 o'clork. Ills attornoyn
withdrew th motion for n new trial and
announced Uiat he was ready to hear the
sentence. When l'loth stood hoforo the
bench Jude llaker told him ho had not
BUppcmed at any time during tho trial that
ho had killed 1-Yo Intentionally. "Tho Jury
found you guilty of manslaughter," ho said,
"and that means whero a man dies as tho
romilt of a blow given without Intont to
kill.
"The Jury "Vldently bollovcd that you
kicked Kec. There Is no doubt that you
wcro Intoxlrnled, and this ought to bo a
norlotis warning to all young men, ns woll
at old. never to drink. I have no sympathy
lor ou b-eouse of tho brutality ycu dl played
that night, but I thln. lhav a short
pentcnen will bo punlshmmit enough In this
caw. It Is the fentenco of this court that
you bo confined to thn penitentiary for a
porlod of three years at hard labor. You
can thank yourself that you got off bo
easily, and let it bo a lesson to you not to
drink and to brace up and bo a man."
Kloth's delight when ho heard Judgo
llakor Bay three years was unbounded, ns
lio had been led to believe that ho would
pet tho limit ten years. Ho entered tho
rourt room BUllcnly and downcast. Ho loft
It with n smiling faeo and a light Btep. Ills
parents and brother wcro thoro to hoar how

a petition asking that tho Adlers bo per

In this petition it Is Hct forth that tho

Hcllman and thnt tho Adlers established
their claim by menus of fnlso testimony.
Ileforo Mr. Hellman's death ho wns In
tho mercantile business In Omaha and
owned much real estate. At a time of busi

tate to satisfy tho claims of creditors. Mrs.
llollmnn refused to sign these mortgages
until assured that tho homestead, tho prop

salesman who sold tho goods to Mr. Hell

The Adlers won tho enso, nnd tho higher

Other creditors 3qught to bo secured by

Falling hair Is caused by dandruff, which
Is a germ disease. Tho germ In burrowing
Into tho root of the hair, whero It destroys
tho vitality of tho hair, causing tho hair

dandruff and you enn't euro tho dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ. "De

laturo to devlso a plan by which we can
securo tho greater part of theso fund.
Under tho existing conditions practically
all real estate taxes havo to bo collected
by sales tho same as In tho foreclosure
of n mortgage. Tho proporty has to bo
appraised nnd must bring two-thirds of
tho appraised valuation. In the case of
many western counties tho county has
to bo tho purchaser In order to securo Its
lien, nnd to do this must, In many In
stances, pay to the holder of tho title In
tho land several hundred dollars. If much
property Is Bold to tho counties under this
system they would find their funds ex
h.i listed.
"It has been suggested that tho legis
lature provide that, in tho ca3o of salo of
property for taxes, tho valuation bo dis
pensed with nnd let the Innd bring what
It will at forced Bale. Whether this pro
vision would bo constitutional or not 1 do
not know, but somo scheme must bo de
vised for tho collection of taxes. (
"Another thing thnt wo will push will i
bo Van lloskirk's brand law. It Is In
tended to restrict tho operation of cattle
thieves and provides that where butchers
kill beef In places not provided with nn
Inspector they urp to keep n list of the
brands of such cattle, which shall bo open
to public Inspection, nnd that whero farm
ers or others kill cattle occasionally nnd
sell on tho irnrket they sliull display the
brand of such cnttlo at tho time of sale.
Theso nro the two most Importnnt subjects
In which our part of tho stato Is Interested,
but thcro mny be other things brought up
between now and tho meeting of tho legis
lature." Fire n Shot -II Mile.
Tho United States will flro a thousand
pound shot twenty miles, which will bo n
record-breaker for tho distance. Tho gun
from which It Is to bo fired will be n marvel
of American Ingenuity nnd workmnnshlp.
Another mnrvel of American Ingenuity Is
Hostettor's Stomach Hitters. For fifty years
It has been tho only mcdlclno to euro con
stlpatlon, Indigestion, dyspepsia, bilious
ness nnd by Its direct nctlon on tho kidneys
prevents rheumatism.
