ANEH's CArnAmrIC rILLs are the best of all
purgatiycs for family use. They are the pro-
duct of long laborlous and successful chelnl-
cal Investigations, and their extensive use,
by Physicians In their practice, and by all
civilized nations, proves them the best and
most cfcctual purgatiye Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely vegetable

value aud curative powers no other pills can
be compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them,
when needed. They keep the system in per-
feet order, and maintain In healthy action

ing and cncctual, they are specially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus, ue-
engagements of which they prevent and cure,
If timely taken. They are the best and safe
est physic to employ for children and weak
ened constitutions, where u mild, but eject
ual, cathartic is required.

THIRrY-FIyE NEW CASES.

A New Orleans dispatch of the 7th
inst. says during the past twenty-four
hours the weather has moderated great
ly. Thirty-fve new cases are reported.
Leading physicians boldly controvert
the statement of the board Of health
that the present disease is yellow fever,
and public action is probable. "A
MORE QUARANTINE.
A Little Rock dispatch of the 7th
inst, says the board of health to-day
decided to establish quarantine against
all freight and passengers from New Or
leans. Guarantees will also be estab-
lished at Hopefield, opposite Memphis.
to prevent the loading of New Orleans
boats at that place.
UNFAvORABLE WEATHER.
A New Orleans dispatch Of the 9th
inst, says in the past twenty-four hours
twenty new cases were reported and
eleven deaths. The weather is I'M
favorable to invalids,-dry. wet, hot,
and cold at intervals Of few minutes.
This accounts for the increase ofdeaths,
though the disease is on the decline.
The fears of the disease assuming an
epidemic form are allayed. The quar-
antine is rigidly maintained, and no yell
low fever is introduced from without.
Ice sells at $4Oper ton, under combi-
nation of dealers and manufacturers,
headed by Jones, of Nevada.
TEXAS GUARANTEED.
A st. Louis dispatch of the 9Th says a
large portion of the railroad towns and
cities of that state are thoroughly quar-
antined against New Orleans, and that
it is the determination to keep the yell
low fever out of Texas if possible. The
International & Great Northern Railway
Company refuse to take any passengers,
freight, express matter, or mails from
New Orleans over their road.
VIOLATING QUARANTINE.
A Vicksburg dispatch of Aug. 9th
says Morris Mayer ofNew Orleans, was
fined $3.50 and ordered out of town for
a violation of the quarantine regula-
tons. He came from New Orleans on
the steamer Cannon, on the I'd inst,
and appealed from Mayor O'Leary's
decision to the board of aldermen.
They heard the case last night and sus-
tanned the Mayors decision.

A NEW DEATH.DEALING MACHINE.
The "Rifle Battery" Which Reduces
Destruction to Fine Art.

A gun, which promises to be the most
terrible agent of destruction of modern
times, is on exhibition at the Office of
the patentees and inventors, Francis E.
Meyer and Frederick Schultz, in New
York. The "rihe battery" as it is call
ed, is so constructed as to deliver its fire
either in right line or in horizontal radi-
ating ines. The barrels, ranging in
number from six to twenty, are suffici-
emily far apart to prevent heating from
continuous firing, and are fired sue
cessively, instead of simultaneously, at
the rate of 10000 shots an hour. A
steel cover in front of the gunners pro-
tects them from the enemy's fire. These
guns may be fired continuously in one
fixed direction, or from side to side, or
the battery may be made to vibrate
laterally of ITSELF at the discharge Of
each gun. thus sweeping the field in
front. The barrels are about an inch
apart, and at intervals, where the guns
are held by clasps, they are inclosed
within asbestos or some non-conductor
Of heat.
The battery may be divided into the
barrels and the breech-lock or machin-
cry by which the barrels are loaded and
discharged, the whole resting on a turn
table or pivot. The balls are placed in
a cartridge-receiver at right angles to
and resting on the blocks. At the right
of this is a crank, at the left lever.
BY pressing the lever in a given direc-
ton the block is forced up to the muz-
zle of the gun, when an automatic lever
called the +" fingers takes hold of the
cartridges and withdraws them from
the receiver. Another turn of the lever
and the balls are forced into the muz-
zles, and the battery is loaded. Then
the crank at the right is turned, at
every revolution a needle is thrust for
ward, and strikes cartridge with suf-
ficient force to explode it. Again the
lever on the left is turned, and the
" fingers advance and withdraw the
spent cartridges, and tine battery is
again ready to be loaded. By means
Of a screw placed in the center of the
block the battery may be elevated or
depressed at pleasure. The inventors
are trying to have their guns adopted
by the English government. They claim
that they will be especially effective In
naval engagements. With toy model
of the battery ball was fired through
an oak plank an inch in thickness at
fifteen yards.

The Petroleum Outlook.

The Titusvlle Herald, published in
the Pennsylvania oil regions, says:
The producers of the oil region are
possessed in an eminent degree Of the
virtue of faith. They rush pell nell
into drilling, irrespective of conse-
quence,s in the hope that by the time
that each of their particular wells is
down something or other may miracu-
lousy turn up to raise.the price of oil to
paying figure. The outlook never
was blacker than it is to-day. The total
shipments from the United Pipe Lines
during the month of July averaged, &c.
$40 barrels per day. The average pro
duction for the month is claimed by
some authorities to be rs high as $4,000
barrels per day, but this an exaggerated
figure and it will hardly reach $4,000
barrels per day. The extremely low
price Of the staple has caused sus-
pension of very small pumping wells of
which the greater portion of the pro
duction in the lower river districts is
made up. The suspension will con-
tinue to increase SO long as the price
remains unremunerative. Whether
the enormous and apparently foolish
development now going forward in the
Bradford district will make up for this
loss is question which time only can
determine. The pipe line runs in the
Bradford district during July would in
dictate production of between 10000
and $1,000 barrels per day. The low
price of refined in New York has en-
couraged foreign dealers to make I'M
usually large contracts for August, Sep
TENDER and October deliveries, and for
the next three months the shipments
will probably be considerable in excess
Of the production. This will have a
tendency to stiflen up prices, but not in
time to do the drillers of new wells any
good as there is so large an amount Of
oil waiting to be thrown on the market
that it cannot advance to any great eX-
tent, and when the new crop of wells
comes in reaction would seem to be
inevitable.

Mr.. B. GERRIsH, Jr., U. S. consul to
Bordeaux, France, has furnished the
government with an interesting report
of the condition of his official district.
He says: Farm laborers are frequently
so economical as to become quite
wealthy proprietors. They are paid
from $50 to 42O francs year, and
lodged and boarded. Day laborers,
without board, receive % to francs a
day, with bottle of wine. A suit Of
clothes costs from Is to 90 fra ncs.
Coopers, ship carpenters and foremen
in wine cellars, by great frugality, attain
a condition Of comparative independ-
ence. The average wages of mechanics
are from 4 to Al francs per day-an in
crease OF nearly franc since 1878
The cost Of living has not increased,
but rather decreased. A government
cigar factory was established in Bor-
deaux in 1916. 1t employs 100 men
and l, 400 women. The men earn about
5 francs and the women 2 francs day.
The value of the tobacco used is Is, OO0,-
600 francs annually, much of which is
imported directly from the United
States. Over 700 cooper shops exist in
the district, employing more than 1900
men. The number of casks made an
nually is 100000, and their value H.
100000 francs. A few of the slaves
come from the United States. 1t is al
legged that it takes third longer to pre-
pare an American stave than it does
one from the Adriatic. They should
be split, not sawed. About $4,000, 900
bottles are made annually in the city by
seven factories, employing 700 working
men, who are paid by the 100 bottles,
and who earn as high rs II francs day
accordinging to their skill. In the
manufacture of liquors and confiteurs
men earn from 3 to francs per day,
and women about half as much. A
mint was established in Bordeaux in A.
D. S64, re-established in 1455, reopened
in 1876, and again in 1870. The coin
age of silver was, from 1895 to 1s4S,
146,363, 900 francs; 1S4S to 1865, 80
100000 francs; 1865 to 1870, closed;
1870 to 1876, 7O,OOOO0O francs.

STORM CANADA,


A dispatch dated Aug. 9th from To
ronto, says: It is estimated that the
hail and rain storm which visited this
city yesterday damaged property to the
amount Of 100000. Cellars were
flooded, and all houses exposed to the
north, unless protected by shutters, had
panes Of glass smashed. Nearly every
skylight in the city was entirely demol-
ished. Photographic studios came in
for the heaviest share Of the general
destruction. Conservatives and gar
dens in all directions were ruined.
Churches suffered severely. The La
Sale Institute alone had III panes Of
glass destroyed. Many buildings had
every pane entirely shattered. Hail
stones as large as marbles fell in clouds
and completely covered the ground.
Some Of the stones measured five
inches in circumference and weighed
over an ounce.
