us to keep trying, and we will nct be

Trial of Gertrude Simpson.
The trial of Gertrude Simpson, the 15-
year-oldgirl who shot and killed her
father, Dr. Simpson, at Creeds a few
weeks ago, was had last week. The state
tried to~h0w that the motive for tbe
killing was the life insurance carried by
the doctor. The evidence showed con-
elusively that at the t~me of the shooting
the girl's life was not iu danger and that
the shooting was unnecessary for her
immediate protection. The instructions
of the judge were quite strong for the
people, but the jury considered that the
action of Dr. Simpson prior to the shoot-
ing was a sufficient provocation for tha
act and further took into consideration
the youth of the girl and her relation to
the deceased, and they brought in a ver-
dict of not guilty after being out but 4,5
minutea.

"I suffered for years with a bronchial
or lung trouble and tried various reme-
dies but did not obtain permanent relief
until I commenced using One Minute
Cough Cure," writes, liar. James Kirk-
man, evangelist or Belle Rwer, Ill. "I
have no hesitation in recommending it
to all sufferers from maladies of this
kind." One Minute Cough Cure affords
immediate relief for coughs, colds and
all kinds of throat and lung troubles.
For croup it is unequalled. Absolutely
safe. Very pleasant to take, never fails
and is really a favorite w~th the children.
They like it. Saguache Pharmacy.

greMing favorably.
