SUICIDE IN WAsulNGToN.- If the spell
of Assn )dcus is ever invoked with success
in Washington it will disclose an appalling
amount OF crime and corruption i'll many
sound rooted and well-secured houses.
More recently it would have unveiled a
dark mystery in the First Ward which is
yet hidden from the public eye. At the
time that the remains of Secretary Rawlin>
were being borne in State to Congressional
Cemetery the body of a young aud beauti-
full girl was found dead in her chamber
with her throat cut literally from ear to
ear 1t was tha last of
lone more unfortunate,
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate,
Gone to her death"
The victim of an unprincipled man,
who had dishonored, disgraced, and after
wards abandoned her to her SORROWS and
the bowl, she put an end to q wretched
existence For good reasons. probably.
her death was concealed. and the body
was claDdestinely hurried from this city
to its once happy home in the West. No
Grape vas allowed upon the door. and the
coroner was outwitted Or in league with
the parties who secured the body. Hush
money was paid to undertakes, surgeon
was summoned to sew up the throat, and
the corpse was then hurried away. All
this has escaped the public prints, and
to day the fate of this unfortunate woman
is unknown to her friends. 1t is now,
however, before the proper authorities,
and an Investigation is going forward
which will soon result in startling devel
opments.
The man whose victim met this tragic
fate is an officer in high position IN Tie

THE WHOLE STORY IN NUT SHELL.
The Office of the stomach is to convert
the food into a cream-like semi-fuid, call
ed CHYME. This is effected partly by the
action of solvent, called the gastric
juice, which exudes from the coating of
the stomach, and partly by q mechanical
movement of that organ, which charms, as
it We're, the. dissolving aliment. The
CHYME passes from the stomach into the
duodenum, or entrance to the bowels,
where it is subjected to the action of the
bile, and the nutritious portion of it con-
verified into a fluid called Chyle, which
eventually becomes blood. - 1859 ~
Now, it is evident that if the great SOL
vent, the gastric juice, is not produced in
sufficient quantities, or if the mechanical
| action of the stomach is not sufficiently
brisk, the first process Of digestion will be
but imperfectly performed. It is also
clear that if the liver, which plays such an
important part in changing the nourishing
portion of the chyme into the material of
the blood, is congested, or in any unnatu-
raj condition, the second process will not be
thoroughly accomplished. The result of
the too failures is dyspepsia, complicated
with bitiousness.
The mode in which HOSTETTER'S
! BITTERS operate in such cases is this !:
they invigorate the cellular membrane of
the stomach, which evolves the gastric
juice, thereby insuring an ample sufficien-
cy of the fluid to completely dissolve the
food. they also act upon the nerve of
the stomach, causing any acceleration of
the mechanical movement necessary to re
duce the food to a homogeneous mass
They also act specifically upon the liver,
Strengthening it, and SO enabling it to pro-
dnce an ample and regular supply of bile,
for the purpose Of converting the nutri-
tious particles Of the Chyme into Chyle,
and promote the passage through the
bowels of the useless debris.
In this way, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
cure dyspepsia and liver complaint. The
explanation splain, simple, philosophical
and true.

Lookout for Fun!
Death Of John C. D0wty.


For more than two weeks have we
been troubled in the extreme to learn
full and certain particulars of the ter
rible calamity, that has befallen our
community in the loss, on the Steamer
Stonewall, of Captain j. c. Dowty.
At last our worst fears are realized,
all doubts are removed and we have
to announce his death and pay feeble
and passing tribute to the memory OF
the deceased.
John Cross Dowty was born in the
Town of Cape Giradeau, Missouri, in
the year 1928. His parentage was
good and respectable and he received
early in life the rudiments of a good
education. After finishing his collegi-
ate duties he came to Louisiana, when
yet in his teens, in the Fall of 1916,
and at once obtained a situation as as
sistant clerk on the steamer Hecla, I'M
der the writer of this tribute. The
Hecla, at that time, was regular
weekly packet in this trade, and was
commanded by Captain Peter Dalmau.
As fitting remembrance Of those hal
cyon days and o memento to the dead
we will here record the crew of the
Hecla, who are now all gone to anoth-
er world, and who were good and true
men. Of that crew but one remains to
remember his comrades and in this
brief memoriam of "a friend, to also re-
member the other friends of his youth.
That sole survivor is the editor of the
Democrat. The crew of.the Hecla was
composed as follows: Captain, Peter
Dalmau; Clerks, Edward Parker, E. r
Biossat and John c. Dowty; Mate,
Nat Dean, Pilots, Erastus Smith and
Tom NAPLES; Engineers, Harry Con.
dit and Monroe Griffith; Carpenter
Charlie Holmes and Waterman, vii.
lie Hastings.
From the Fall of 1916 up to the pres
emit time, Captain Dowty has continued
as steamboatman in our trade, the
past twelve years thereof being the
commander of our finest and most re.
liable Packets. In every sense of the
term he was good boatman, good
man. He had rare abilities as com.
mander to win confidence anG
success, and by this course made host.
of good and fast friends-as a mar
and citizen he was kind, courteous, af
fable and liberal to a fault. Long vii
it be before we again see his like il
our trade and, it is no fattery to sa.
the community feel it, and at ever,
step we so hear it expressed; and with
out disparagement to the living w,
must candidly say we agree with ou7
community in this preference.
AS yet no traces of the deceased
body have been found, and his friend
are thus deprived of the consolation
of paying the last sad tribute to him
Poor Dowty! long will he be remem
bered in Rapides, long will his friend
mourn his sad fate, and none NOR
than the writer, with anguish and pain
will share this grief. Peace, Peace
old friend, everlasting Peace to thee

The Death of T. B. R. Hatch.

The Death OF L. b. Il. Hatcl.
Tho Baton Rouge Advocate of the
Stll inst., announces, with a feeling
tribute, the death of T. B. r. Hatch, at
his residence in that city on the morn
ing of that day. For a number Of
years Mr.. Hatch was connected with
the press of this State. He founded
the Baton Rouge Advocate in 1913, and
was proprietor of it until 1854. Sew
eral years of this period. he spent in
European and oriental travel. Upon
his return, he resumed his editorial
labors, and not long afterwards be-
came Private Secretary to Gov. p. o.
Hebert. In this position, the duties OF
which he discharged with unsurpassed
competency and suavity, he continued
to the end of the Governors term
Having disposed of the Advocate, he
removed to Lake Providence, where
he carried on the Lake Providence
Herald, and was accumulating about
him the comforts and elegancies of a
handsome property, when the civil war
broke out. At the close of the war,
ruined in fortune and shattered in
health, he again took up his residence
in Baton Rouge and connected him
self editorially with the Baton Rouge
Gazette and Comet, connection which
he held at the time of his death. But
Mr.. Hatch was not a man to be meas
ured and appreciated by such Incl
dents and associations as are here re-
lated. They can give no conception
of his rare personal worth. his varied
accomplishments, his exquisite social
amenities. Baton Rouge could not
have lost a more estimable citizen. a
brighter and purer ornament; and the
State did not contain a truer gentle
man.-[N. O. Bulletin.

A SIMPLE AND SURE CURE FOR
CoRNs.-When a young man, !
used to be very much annoyed by
those painful excrescences called
''corns'' on the toes and feet, until
l was told of a very simple but
efectual remedy for them, by some
person. 1t was to battle the feet
we'll in tepid water, to soften them;
then pare them off very, very
closely with sharp penknife; then
rub on well green peach tree leaves
when, after continuing the rubbing
on once or twice day, the corns
will entirely disappear, and NOT re.
turn, without the cause. that first
caused them. 1 have often tried
the remedy, and never found it to
fail yet. 1t seems to be the prussie
acid in the peach tree leaves that
takes them away. A good corn
salve could no doubt be made fol-
winter use, by brusing the peach
tree leaves when green. then boil
them in water until the strength is
extracted; then take out the leaves
strain the water Of the sediment
and add a sufficient quantity Of
common resin, beeswax, tt:as..,,ow and
| lard oil to make it soiitt enough, and
simmer down, without burning
until the water is all evaporated
Soften and pare the corn, as before
directed, spread it on a small piece
of cambria or linen, and apply, put
on the sock or stocking carefully
sors not to rub it off. Keep APP
plying until they disappear. q
