"Ayer's " is not like aay other Sarsaparilla.
Doctors Know this. They have our formula.
That's why they always recommend "Ayer's "
in preference to every other kind. Its the

past my errors have been many, and I feel
the deepest contrition. I cannot blame
anyone but myself, nor do I wlh to shift
the responsibility of my sad plight upon
any person.
I know that Ood made me sufficient to
nave stood, though free to fall. I have
fallen like many more before, and Mke
many more will in the Tut, ire. I feel as
though I was a living sermon to bovs and
young men In particular who are' going
down every day through bad company ana
rum. I wish to state that whisky Is the
cause of my present situation. Had I not
been Intoxicated thla case would never
have happened.
I must say. and much to my shame. 1
was drunk beyond all reason. It would
have been Impossible for me to deliberate
or premeditate any act such as I have
been charged with. God, who sees all
things, knuweth that my mind or heart
never harbored a thought or impulse whlih
would stiKKest willful murder. And in view
of the runilltlon I was In I hoi will save
me from vuoh a death, also for the sake
of my relatives, who are one and all good
and respectable people, and for the sake
of my many prayerful Christian frlenda In
thla state and city and elf em here.
Larks a Mother's Care.
I had the greatest misfortune when but
a small child, and I feel that on that ac
count, too. you mav be ahle to sympathise
with me. I lost my mother, and aa you
know a mother Is the one of all others who
ran and do influence their children to the
riant. If you should dtctde to commute my

WILLIAM RHEA.
Only two day's intervene before the time
s,et by the supreme court for the execution
of William Rhea, and yet the governor has
given no intimation as to whether or not
he will commute the sentence. It is as
serted by reliable authority, however, that
the governor intends to grant a respite of
sixty days' and the impression prevails that
the pecalty will finally be changed from
death to Imprisonment for life. When In

to either deny or affirm the report, but
said he would reach a decision and make
It public tomorrow or Thursday.

lamation of the governor. On the state
rapltol grounds some trees were plsnted

done under the direction of experts ap
pointed by the school board.

Clark to annul the county bridge contract
was continued in the district court today.
The reading of affidavit was completed and
