I claim that BlankeV Coffee is so good, so pure, so delicious, that people who drink It are satisfiedand happy, It keeps the hu iband in good humor, and the thrifty housewife goes about her duties with a smiling face. Of course the children enjoy them selves when the parents are in a happy frame of mind. You don't ' see much of the blues around the table when a steaming cup of Dlanke Coffee sits by each plate.

Attempted Suicide ot a School Boy. Fritz Kubn, a 1 3-year-old !oy living at Brunswick, and. a son of Chris Kuhn, Louis Kinkhorst's baker at tliat place, attempted to commit suicide by the carbolic acid route in Principal lluckmastcr's room of Brunswick's VJ lage scliool building last Thursday af ternoon. Young Kuhn was a pupil in Miss .0!ga Kucchlers room, but mas sent to Principal Buckii'tei'j apartment for punUhrncnt. fcr raving, it is said, at tempted to pars an obsencc note to one of his boy schoolmates, but which was grabbed by one of the cirl pupils and han.!cd to N'iss Keuchler. The fact of his being sent to Prof. Buck:nastcr secrr.ed to fill the bov with tetror, and when the professor started to approach htm, the terrorized lad drew from his pocket a bottle of car- lx)!ic acid and swallowed a portion of the deadly drug, and then said to Prof. Buckmatcr: "Don't whip roc; I've Ot poison ia me. Kuhn was hurriedly conveyed to Ir. T. F. Martin's office by two other boys at the request of Prof Buckraas tcr. Dr. Martin administered an tidotes and worked faithfully t ex tract ibe poison from the boy's stomach. and ta about an hour he was able to be takrn home, where his recovery was soon assure J. The possession of the bott!e of car bo'uc acid by the youthful attempter at suicide is accounted for on the grounds that bis father had been using the drug in a ciluted form to wash his horse's sore lc.5. and the boy took it to school for t$5 avowed purpose, he says, o' swal-iwirg its contents in case Prof. IJucktnastcr attempted to, punish nun. . - i ; ; Repairing Done. j I anTpTepared to do V.l klndTof re pairing to guns and pistols, and various other repairing, at C L.

Bjrton and Craig waived formal ar raignment and plead not guilty, and a ill be tried some time during the term. Barton is the Dalton negto who assaulted Peter Miller, a white man, with a b tr of iron at Dahon on the 29th of last October. Crai,; is the Chariton tawttsliip du.tly denizen ho so seriously carved James Mc Qair at Porter's chapel on lost Thanksgiving nij:ht, Nov. 26th. Perkins waived formal arraignment. and with consent of prosecuting at torney pleaded guilty la common as sault; his puuiahment was fixed at a fine of $10. Perkins is tne man mho attempted to braia his brother, J. T. Perkins, Jr., with a club out near Scribner school-house, four or five miles northeast of Kcytesville, oa the 24th of November, 1896. In the ca of the state against Henry Wilson, the tramp tinner, who stole several articles from parties at the Brown house in Salisbury recently, the grand jurv failed to return a true bill, and the defendant was discharged. It seems that Yiisoi took the goods for the purpose of breaking into the county jail, to which Prosecuting At torney Collet objected. Wilson, we understand, in fact told the parties, he had taken the articles for the purpose of bein? sent to jail, and made no at ternot whatever to conceal his "guilt." His sole object was to obtain quarters for the winter. Theft under fuch cir cumstances is out of the question, and Mr. Collet took that vie a of the case. , Further procccdiog will-. pyta next week. , 1.1 v . -A first-class m?l f r 25 cts. at I Rose restaurant, bencus .l dm I i Lunch served at a2 hours. a im Forty Years of Married Life.

Tata Wat tbe Criminal Record frr tbe October, 1896, Adjourned Term ot Circuit Court. The October, 1896, adjourned term of circuit court completed its labors last Monday morning, having been in session six days. As stated in the Courier last week, a special grand jury was empanelled, which returned true bills against Geo. Lewis, Thos. Flynn. S. A. and G. W. Minnis, Wm. Bartcl and James Lee for burglary and larceny. All of the defendants waived formal arraignment and entered pleas of not guilty and demanded a trial by jury- Wm. Bart el and James Lee, who burglarized Jos. M. Henry's "dug-out" in the north back of the Missouri river. 14 or 15 roHes southwest of Keytes- ville, on the 6th of November, 1896, and were afterwards captured at Roche- port with most of Mr. Henry's stolen effects in their possession, were tried first and found guilty of burglary and larceny as charged in the indictment. Each of the defendants was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of five years. The cases of Flynn and Lewis, who burglarized Milus Henry's store at Triplett of about $75 worth of goods on the night of the 20th of last month, were next taken up, and they, too; were found guilty of burglary and lar ceny by the jury which tried them, and were also sentenceAo five years, each, in the penitentiary. By this tame, S A. and G. W. Min nis, the young men who broke into the Kellogg Syrup factory at Sumner on the night of the of November last and stole a half barrel of black paint with which they contracted to paint J. D. Stoner's barn, began to see J he handfTtt oo-the wjJIrJ it damned upon "tHeoa that the shortest way out of their trouble was to with draw their plea of not guilty and en tered a plea of guilty. Judge Rucker fixed S. A. Minnis' punishment at three years in the penitentiary, but in the case against G. W. Minnis a nolle prosequi was entered by order of Pros ecuting Attorney James A. Collet, for the reason that the defendant was un der 18 years of age and cou!d not be sent to the penitentiary, and as he had been in jail for two months, Mr. Collet woukl not insist upon his further pun ishment. Flynn. Lewis, Lee, Bartcl and S. A. Mcnnis were taken to the penitentiary last Monday nijyht by Jos. F. Hans man and Pat Stanton. A Kld-Olored Trsmp.
