CURED HEMORRHAGES OF THE
LUNGS.
“Several years since my lungs were
so badly affected that I had many hem-
orrhages,” writes A. M. Ake, of Wood,
Ind. “I took treatment with several
physicians without any benefit. I then
started to take Foley’s Honey and Tar,
and my lungs are now as sound as a
bullet. I recommend it in advanced
stages of lung trouble.” Foley’s Honey
and Tar stops the cough and heals the
lungs, and prevents serious results
from a cold. Refuse substitutes. Sold

HON. J. A. BERKEY.
He and His Law Partner, C. L. Sha-

in the Flickinger Murder
= Trial.
A Hotly Contested Trial “in Whiech-
Berkey & Shaver are the Win-
ners—Flickinger a Free Man.
The celebrated Flickinger niurder
trial, which occupied more than a week
of the court’s time, was given over to the
deliberations of the jury, last Saturday
afternoon. The jury was out but a few
hours when a verdict of “not guilty”
was rendered, and thus terminated one
of the hardest fought legal battles in
the history of Somerset county.
John Flickinger, the young man who
had been accused of the murder
Wesley Emerick, is now a free man,
and that he owes his life to his able

District Attorney Meyers was assist-

HH. Ruppel and C. W. Walker, Ruppel
being the head man in the prosecution |
of the case. |
Public sentiment strongly
against Flickinger, gave the
prosecution a decided advantage; but
it seems to us, and seemed so all along,
that the prosecutors managed their
side of the case very poorly. It
generally believed that if the widow of
Wesley Emerick, and probably one
other person, had been promptly ar-
rested after Mrs. Emerick made her
statement that led to the arrest of
John Flickinger, the case would in all
probabilty have had quite a different
ending.

The trial of John H. Miller. of Stony- |
creek township, who was charged with |
the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. |
Catherine Stauffer, came to a sudden
close on Tuesday afternoon, when Judge
Kooser directed the jury to return a
verdict of “not guilty.” This
was taken by the Court after listening
to the remarks of Percy Allen
private counsel for the prosecution, |
and District Attorney Meyers, ‘who
stated that they had exhausted the
testimony for the Commonwealth, and
had failed to produce testimony that
would warrant them, under either the
law or their conscience, in pressing for
a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Rose stated that matters had de-
veloped in the unexpected by
them, and that they had learned the
nature of the defense, which would
certainly lead to such a doubt that the
Commonwealth would not be warrant-
ed in pressing the case further.
Therefore, no witnesses were called
by the defense. After the formality of
having the jury render a verdict of
“pot guilty,” the defendant was dis-
charged, and the Court adjourned.—

An Oratorical Set-Back.
When Bishop Berry, of the Methodist
| Episcopal church, was a young preach-
er, he once gave a lecture in a rural
community. Wishing to be witty, he
announced to his audience that he wae
a berry and called upon them to state
what kind of one. Nearly every berry
known in the vicinity was guessed, and
the speaker refused to share the guali-
ties of any of those named. At last an
old lady, who was not sympathetic
with the seeming levity of the lecturer,
arose and exclaimed in a squeaky
voice: “I know what kind of a berry
you are. You are a gooseberry, and &
very green one at that. Go on witk
the lecture.” And the lecturer did,
laughingly and jovially. He has since
proved anything but what the old lady
called him.—Will Carleton’s Magazine
