YELLOW JAUNDICE CURED.
Suffering humanity should be sup-
plied with every means possible for Its
relief. It is with pleasure we publish
the following: “This is to certify that
I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow
Jaundice for over six months, and was
treated by some of the best physicians
in our city and all to no avail. Dl.
Bell, our druggist, recommended Elec-
tric Bitters; and after taking two bot-
tles, I was entirely cured. I now take
great pleasure in recommending them
to any person suffering from this ter-
rible malady. I am gratefully yours,
M. A. Hogarty, Lexington, Ky.”

Dr. Wortham returned from the
eastern markets in time to catch the
the train bearing Shaw, the escaped
murderer back to his cage in Cle-
burne- Dr. says the man is too
weak minded to aprpeciate the enor-
mity of his offense or. the awfulness
ot his situation. He feels that he is
the hero of the hour, and looks upon
his escape as eclipsing anything in
the way of shrewdness known to
criminal history. —...........

A Correction.
Truth alone hurts and for that
reason we hasten to correct on our
account, a mistake made in
our last issue, wherein we
stated that R. T. Smith was a K.
of P. and had been neglected bv
them. The statement was not
true and therefore reflected udou
us and not upon the order. We
understood from Mr, Smith that he
was a member and so stated it, we
therefore make the correction to set
ourselves right and not the order as
it was not wrong. Mr. Smith is a
member of an insurance order and
we u d :rstand that it has employed
a nurse for him. We are also glad
to state that he is reported better.

DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady In this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with-
stood Its severest tests, but her vital
organs were underminded and deatn
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. Icing’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption. and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C.
Flamnick & Co., of Shelby. N. C. Trial
bottles free at R. G. HamilTs drug
store. Regular size 50c and $1. Every
bottle guaranteed.
Eyesight Restored.
I want to say for the benefit of
those afflicted with eye trouble, cata-
ract, and other forms. I had been
blind in my right eye from cataract
for two years, and my left eye had
been a bad eye from my youth, so
my blindness was almost complete.
Dr' J M. Woodson of Temple, per-
formed an operation on my eye tak-
ing only a few minutes and with a
great deal less pain than I had sup-
posed. In one month my eye was
well, in 6 weeks I was wearing
glasses, and could read and write.
None can appreciate such a blessing
unless it be an old preacher like my-
self being brought suddenly from
blindness to sight and being made
able to read the Holy Scriptures a-
gain. Yours Truly,
S. S. Scott.

Had any vessel, no matter how large
or heavily armored, been over the
mines which were exploded off Hawk-
ins Point on Tuesday, says the Balti-
more American, she would surely have
gone to the bottom, and would' now lie
In five fathoms of Patnpsco water.
Lieut. Charles W. Kutz, temporarily
in charge of all river and harbor work
in the neighborhood of Baltimore, is
preparing a report showing the effect
of the explosion Similar reports will
be made by all the engineers who have
superintended like explosions, and the
data thus collected are expected to
prove of great value to those who
study the science of war.
The mines in the Patapsco are
shaped somewhat like the head of a
mushroom, the circular base being
about three feet in diameter, and the
height being about 18 Inches. They
are made of cast iron, and contain 250
pounds of dynamite. They are of the
ty'pe of the ground mines which have
been adopted as the best for harbor
defense in thiscountry. They were in-
vented at the School of Engineers at
Willets Point, N. Y., in the seventies,
when Gen. Henry L. Abbot was in
command there, and he is generally
given the credit for the idea.
Three of these destroyers were ex-
ploded simultaneously by thetouch of
an electric button on shore, and the
effect was terrible. The mines were
about 100 feet apart, and an immense
triangle of solid water was thrown to
a height of 110 feet in the air. The in-
stantaneous pressure on the side or
bottom of a ship would have been at
least 12,000 pounds to the square inch,
and this is said by the authorities to
be a “disabling b’ow" to modern iron-
clads.
A vessel to have been badly injured
would have had to be nearly over the
mines, as about 75 feet In the radius
of destruction of these mines—that is,
a vessel outside of a circle 150 feet in
diameter of which the mine is the cen-
ter would not suffer from such an ex-
plosion.
HOBSON KISSED BEFORE.
1,040,366 PENSIONERS.
Washington, Aug. 23,—In the
forthcoming annual report of the
commissioner of pensions, Mr. H
Clay Evans, it will be shown that
on June 30, 1897, there were on the
rolls of the pension bureau 976,014
pensioners. To this must be added
6,852 original claims granted but
not recorded, aud 162 restorations
which were not entered at the time
on the books.
Commissioner Evans granted 63
648 original claims during the past
year and restored 4,089 pensioners
to the benefits of pensions. The
pensioners now aggregate 1,040,366
More pensions were granted last
year than in any year from 1869 up
to 1890.

CALLAWAY.
It seems now that the St. Louis girl
who claims to have invented the Hob-
son kiss was a little premature. Al-
though it is impossible to obtain the
name, it is known as a fact that the
young lieutenant was attacked in very
much the same manner by nn Atlanta
(Ga.) girl long before Miss Arnold had
met the hero of theMerrimae.
The incident occurred in the pnrlor
of the Kimball house, where Hobson,
hi* mother and sister had adjourned
to meet a few friends. The girl in
question, when it became her turn to
approach the handsome officer, did so
with some diffidence, but by the time
she reached him managed to stam-
mer out that she would like her greet-
ing by such a great man to differ juet
a trifle from that of the ceremonious
formality.
Quick to appreciate such a Helicatc
compliment, and seeing one way in
which to differentiate the usual ex-
change of courtesies, Hobson grace-
fully bent over and implanted a light
kiss on the burning cheek of the girl.
His mother stood dazed, for the time
almost paralyzed with astonishment,
while his sister lnughed merrily and
congratulated the fortunate girl.
The latter did not exhibit the same
generous instincts of Mias Arnold and
kept the osculatory sweet all to her-
self. The incident was intended only
for private circulation until it reached
the ears of a society editor, who, while
prohibited from giving names, gives
the circumstances with such clear-
ness aa to leave no doubt of their au-
thenticity.
A young woman swimmer at Far
Rockaway kicked a strange object
that was bobbing along a foot or two
underwater. She shrieked in fear and
made for the »hore, whereupon the
ltfeaavera went out and captured a
mine that had broken from it* taatea-

A Good Man Gone.
Tuesday evening the spirit ol
Mortz Maedgeu of Troy took its
(light from earth. He was nearly
70 years old, and has for years been
a nrominent man in politics of the
county and was once or more repre-
sentative in the legislature. He was
a prosperous farmer and up to his
fateful connection with McGlasson,
had laid by a goodly supply of the
necessaries and comforts of lile; but
was made to suffer heavily for his
too confiding trust in the man who
has wrreked a whole community of
of good people. From that time on
Mr. Maedgen has given evidence in
a saddened life of how keenly ho felt
his loss. He leaves a host of friends
who will slncerly regret his death,
and greatly miss his prudent council.
