CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

THE white laborers employed at
Williams lumber camp in Escambia
County, Ala, objected to the presence
of fifty negro laborers, who had just
been brought in and on the Goth fired
into party of them, killing three.
WILLIAM BURTON, an enterprising
farmer living mile south of Tuscum-
bia, Ala, this year with one horse cul-
tivated land on which was produced nine
bales of cotton, roo bushels of corn, be-
sides potatoes, etc. He did all of the
work, with the exception of chopping
and picking the cotton, alone.
WHILE picking grapes on country
road near Guthrie, 0. t., big black
bear suddenly appeared and attacked
Miss Anna ormbrougb, hugging her
so hard it broke three of her ribs and
terribly lacerated her body. Her in
juries will likely prove fatal.
The situation on Guatamalan and
Mexican borders is very threatening,
and it is believed that the Guatamalan
troops are preparing to make an aggres-
SlVe move against MEXICO.
MAGGIE WALKER, of st. Joseph, Mo-,
on the 10th locked her two children,
aged and years, in her house while
she went to a grocery store near by.
When she returned she found the house
in flames and her little girls burned to
death.
ZERO weather was reported all over
the Northwest on the 10Th. 1t was from
2 to IL degrees below throughout North
Dakota and Manitoba and in Minnesota
it fell to zero.
SINCE November 18th, the date of the
circular issued by Secretary Carlisle
inviting bids for the new $4,000, 900
bond loan, the treasury has lost by the
exchange of gold for treasury notes and
United States notes S1,775,0 900 in gold
from subtreasuries.
The majority of the large Touring
mills in st. Louis have closed down for an
indefinite period. This course is made
necessary, the millers claim, because of
the congestion Of the market and more
especially by the advanced freight rate
to the eastern seaboard to about % cents
barrel.
Fort WAYNE, Ind, has a 7-year-old
horse thief. During the last four
months he has stolen IA horses left on
the streets unguarded.
THE farmers in Will County, ILL.,, are
suffering great loss by the hogs dying
from cholera. There seems to be
great epidemic in that section. as thou.
sands Of hogs have died the past week

Of all cases of consumption can, if taken ID
the earlier stages of the disease be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion TO
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations Of
hypophosphites and such like baIIfdfigeS.
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, i'll all its
earlier stages, consumption IS a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ceHfdee Of cases, and we believe. IHllY oS
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expcctoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme cmaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them. and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acqu nted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
pllites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of large number Of
those cured Of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced i'll a book of 100
pages which will be mailed TO you, OH re-
ceipt Of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

Sister and Then Slashes His Own Throat,
After which He Saturates the Premises
with Coal Oil and Applies the Match
One Sister Escapes to Tell the Tale.
WELLsvII.LE, Mo-, Nov. 20.-This lit
tie village was the scene of a horrible
quadruple murder early yesterday
morning, which wiped out nearly an
entire family. Thomas Portercheck,
with his mother. two sisters and
brother, occupied a small house half
mile east of the business portion OF the
village. The family were Bohemians,
and were in humble circumstances.
Sunday afternoon Thomas Porter
check was discovered acting strangely,
and gave indications that his mind
was deranged. He labored under the
hallucination that his neck was
broken, and insisted that a physician
he summoned. His relatives endeav-
ored t., convince him of his error, and
tried to persuade him to go to bed. He
refused to lie down and insisted on re-
manning sitting up all night.
Late at night the family retired,
leaving Thomas sitting in a rocking
chair.
