Its Wonderful Efficacy
Newspapers Admit DIR. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy is all it is claimed.

Favorite Remedy is all it is claimed.
The intense interest taken in the almost
miraculous cures made by DR.. Kennedys
Favorite Remedy, at Athens, n. Y. and
other places, resulted in the Albany, n. Y.
Journal sending a special representative to
Athens to investigate the case, and il was
found that many of the cures made by this
medicine were simply wonderful.
In the cases of Mr.. Lewis Glow, who had
chronic kidney disease, Mrs. Casper Brooks
suffering from female troubles and kidney
disease, and Mrs. VIM. Tiffany who suf-
fered from general prOstration, all of these
cases were abandoned by their attending
physicians. DIR. Kennedy's FavOrite Rem
edy was then used by them and in every
case an absolute cure was effected.
Mrs. G. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska,
Mich. writes: "Dr. David Kennedy's
FavOrite Remedy saved my life when 1 was
a victim Of Bright's disease"
81 had been troubled since 1862" writes
S. F. Arnold, of Rochester, N. Y, "with
gravel and catarrh of the bladder. Tried
several doctors, but got no relief. Finally
/ used DIR. David kennedys Favorite Rem
edy. The result was marvellous; after use
ing few bottles | was entirely cured"

A Bloody Encounter.

Milan, Sept. 15.-Yesterday evening
Lavinia, ten miles southeast of this
place, was the scene of a bloody en-
counter between the Seavers and the
Bryants, all residents of that place.
John Seavers and Bob Bryant became
involved in dispute, which eliminated
in fight between the two. The men
clinched, Seavers throwing Bryant
over some -four barrels and at the same
time attacking him with knife. At
this juncture, Howell Bryant, brother
to Bob Bryant, seized Seavers, and a
terrific struggle ensued. Both men are
of herculean build and nearly equally
matched in strength. Seavers sue
ceeded in stabbing Howell Bryant over
the left eye, inflicting a painful wound.
Howell Bryant then struck Seavers
with billet of wood, crushing his
skull and knocking him senseless. AS
Seavers fell, he fell upon his knife,
cutting him in the side and inficting a
mortal wound. About this time, Ernest
Seavers, brother to John Seavers,
knocked Howell Bryant in the head
with brick and attempted to get gun.
By supreme effort the combatants
were finally separated and further
bloodshed averted. John Seavers is in
a precarious condition. A warrant was
issued for Howell Bryant. Further
trouble is expected.

A Land SwIndIe.

Washington. Sept. 21.-The interior
department has just passed on a case
where peculiar fraud is being prac-
ticed. Some time ago resident of Ten
nessee wrote to the encouragement
stating that last May he saw an adver-
tisement in a Chicago paper offering for
sale 100 acres of land in Cove County,
Kansas. The real estate agent lived at
Lathrop, Mo, and through him the
land was purchased by the man from
Tennessee. 1t was then found that the
government owned the land, although
the Lathrop agent had furnished a COM
plete deed abstract title. Since then
the same tract has been advertised by
the same agent. 1t is held by the in
terror department that as the rights of
the government are in no way affected,
there is nothing for the interior de-
partment to do in the premises. 1t is
suggested, however, that the attention
of the proper authorities be called to
the fraud, with view of saving innocent
parties who do not make thorough in
vestigation of the land titles.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Phenomenal shootlne.

Chattanooga, Sept 21.-For three days
some of the most renowned shots of the
world have been in attendance at the
maiden tournament meeting of the
Chattanooga Gun Club. Among them
are Rollo o. Reikes, of Dayton, O., cham
pion target shot of the world, who made
a score on Thursday of 137 straight tar
gets, shooting at known and unknown
angles; Capt. John Brewer, champion
live bird shot of the world; Col An
thony, of Charlotte, S. c.; and Capt.
Bartlett, of New York.
This was the third and last day of the
meeting, and was the most interesting
of all There were ten regular events
on the programme, and two extras.
Most interesting to the.Tennessee shots
was the Tennessee event. In this the
heaviest scores were: Meade, of Knox
vile, Is out of possible 20; Livingston,
of Chattanooga, 13; O'Connell, of Chat
tanooga, Is; Meadows, of Nashville, p;
Allen, of Memphis, II, and Divine, of

scored 10 in this event and Frank Q
The shooters in attendance witnessed
good shooting Wednesday, when Rollo
o. Heikes made score of 1877, but the
shooting of Capt. Bartlett today was
more interesting than all. Capt. Bart
lett uses a Burgess magazine gun, which
works on the principle of the Winches-
ter rife. He handed his gun to a gell-
tleman standing by and, taking wooden
block, threw it in the air, and, turning
a handspring, grabbed the gun and shot
the block four times before it fell to the
ground. He then gave six men targets
and requested t8sm to throw up all at
the same time. This was complied with
and six shots in rapid succession broke
each of the targets. 1t was wonderful
feat. No man has yet.been able to do
it other than Capt. Bartlett.

the scheme, recently mentioned in

of American republics self-supporting
by She insertion of paid advertising in
it's publications. AS soon as the secre-

heard the nature of the plan he called
Mr.. Furbish and directed him to sus-
pend operations at once in regard to
the solicitation of advertisements for
the bureau publications and to cancel

The practice of selling the bureau
hand books instead of furnishing them
for gratuitous distribution, which
formed part of the new regime, is not
ircluded in the secre tary's vacating
order and it is presumed will be con-
tinued.
