KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF R0xBUaY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst SCrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(bOth thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles Of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of IT..
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

seemingly being theintont of the mob to
bury it in the front yard.
At this moment Rev. Campbell ap-
peared and dlsuaded them from carrying
out the plan. Then they took the body
to the edge of the river to burn it. Fences
were torn down, store boxes taken, and
ms one with an ak cut down several
ceuar trees near by. Dry wood was laid
In a large pile and on the heap the ne
gro's body was laid. On top OF
all this boughS were thrown; then,
just before touching the match,
two gallons of coal oil were poured over
all. A match was touched to it, and the
flames shot up rapidly. 1t was an awful
sight. II was not long before the crowd
dispersed, but all the morning men and
sometimes an occasional woman were
seen going towards the place OF burning.
All that remained of Smith at noon was
few ashes and here and there bone,
but the fire was still burning and those
standing around said it should burn till
there was not vestige left.
Mayor Trout, who was wounded in the
loot, was carried to Ponce de Leon hotel,
but owing to threats of the mob he was
removed from there to the country, where
he still is. Acting Mayor Buckner has
assumed control and has suspended the
chief OF police and several officers. The
coroner's jury has been in session all day
investigating the cause of the tragedy,
but has not completed it's labors- The
town is quiet tonight and the streets al
most deserted. Eight men were killed
and twenty five injured last night.

will be some who viii object. Colonel
Smith became identified with the terri
tory, and during several years he has been
ever ready to serve them here, as he was
located only few miles from Washing
ton. That was one of the reasons why he
had backing from the territory.
He is a sou of the late Governor William
Smith of Warrenton, Va, who for many
years prior to the war was a member OF
Congress and was generally called Extra
Billy" by reason of the fact that he fought
hard always for extra appropriations
whenever and wherever the southern peo-
pie were concerned. Colonel Smith is an
able lawyer, is brave and courageous, and
is very warm in his friendships.
Many persons supposed that when
Colonel Smith was appointed to the chief
justiceship of the court of New Mexico
that it meant the administration was
again violating the platform of the party
in sending outsiders into the territories
to fill the offices, but this does not seem to
be applicable, because he was so favorably
regarded by New Mexicans. The policy
ofthe administration is to recognize as a
rule only bona fide residents of the terri
tories

4 FURIOUS FUSILADE
HOURLY EXPECTED.
Rio Liable to Be Raced at Almost
Any Moment.
ANARCHY IN ARGENTINE.
A Report That the Rebels Are Even
Now in Rio.
The Rebellion Has Gone So Far That Il
Would Be Better to Turn Over
the City Rather Than
Have 1t sheIIed.

LONDON, Sept. 81. = Private advices
from Rio Janerio Of a furious lombard
ment are expected hourly.
The only reason the bombardment was
not commenced yesterday was that nego-
tlatlons between the rebels and the gov
ernment were undertaken at the instance
OF foreign powers and foreign warships
who wished to save the city from destruc-
ton. 1t is not believed this will amount
to anything. In fact, it is believed the
government is merely prolonging negotia-
lions to allow the non-com batants to get
away and the merchants TO save their
goods.
The statement of yesterday is con-
frmed from several sources; that there is
an attempt OF the Brazilian minister
TO belittle the rebellion is not ac-
eepted with any credeuce in London.
People IN Rio admit that the rebellion
has progressed to such an extent
that they had better let the city fall
into the hands of the insurgents than be
sheiled. The rebels at Rio are in com
munlcatlon with the insurgents in the
south and all are acting in unison.
After success at Santos, they propose to
attack the Porte Allegro and Rio Grande
Do Sui. In fact, the lDsurgent vessels
are said to have already started on that
errand. There is no doubt the rebels are
meeting with success; in fact the report
that they occupied Rio is in circulation
here this morning.

WAS FUN FOR REED.
But 1t Was Finally Shown that He Did
Understand the Question.

But 1t Was Finally Shown that He Did
Understand the Question.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-In the House
the error of the journal clerk which was
incorporated in Speaker Crisp's rulings
yesterday refusing to entertain certain
motions for the reason they were "dila-
tory" gave good deal of satisfaction to
Reed.
After the speaker had examined the
journal, however, and upon the state
ment that it did not reflect on his rulings,
Reed made no objections to the correc-
ton.
Against the protest of the Republicans,
the Democrats of the House committee on
rules this morning decided to report an
order for a two weeks debate on the fed
eral election laws repeal bill and then
vote.
The Republicans wanted to postpone
the time of the beginning and ending of
the debate.
On assembling of the House the order
was reported and previous question de-
manded.
Reed demanded the yeas and nays to de-
termine whether the Democrats had
quorum.
By good deal of effort, The Democrats
barely succeeded in mastering quorum,
and the previous question was ordered,
175 to AZ. Thirty minutes were allowed
for debate.
Instead of devoting the time to the dis
cussion of the order or measure it per-
tanned to, ex-Speaker Reed opened the
debate on the correctness of Speaker
Crisp's ruling yesterday. ssI know
said he, "the Democratic party has no
desire to establish one man power; but
the proposition established by the speak
er's ruling yesterday, giving the Com
mittee on Rules power to originate, legis-
late on and making it unamendable by
House, has no parallel except under the
first consulate of France"
General Catchings, in strong supply,
pointed out that Reed misunderstood the
meaning and intent of the rules adopted
by the House.
A vote was then taken on the adoption
of the report, and it was adopted-Yea
179; nays 8.
The House then passed to the report of
the Committee on Accounts and assigned
the clerks to committees. This was the
signal for the regular biennial effort in
the interest of economy and retrench-
ment. The chairman o report gave per
diem or annual clerks to all committees.
The minority prepared report was
against providing all the committees with
clerks, but the report was not presented.
A long debate ensued, during which
Paynter offered a substitute to the major
ity report, abolishing the rules to the
committees on expenditures in the differ
emit departments and the Committee on
Alcoholic Liquor Traffic, Education, I'M
migrations, Levees and Improvements OF
the Mississippi River, Mileage. Militia
and Ventilation and Acoustics.
The substitute was carried-170 to IS.
Grain of Texas moved to reconsider the
vote. but pending the motion, the speaker
| laid before the House the corrections he
had noted in the journal, and after they
had been made the House adjourned.
