PROTECTING HIS MOTHER,
A Fatal Duel Between Father
and Son.
BOTH FATALLY INJURED
AFTER BEING SHOT THE FATHER TURNS
THE WEAPON ON HIS WIFE AND
sENDSA BULLET THROUGH
HER ARM

A Ronceverte, w. Va, special
TO the Richmond Dispatch says
One of the most terrible trape>
dies ever enacted ir Greenbrier
county occurred here this after
noon at 6 o'clock. II. X. Culp,
a butcher by trade, became in
volved i'll a quarrel with his wife
through uncalled for jealousy
and threatened to beat her. His
eldest son, Ed, young man
about IS years old, took her part.
Culp, the father, said he would
kill the young man, and, true to
his word, went upstairs, got his
pistol, and came back again. In
the meantime the son got his re-
volver and the two fired at each
other, the son receiving q ball in
the top of his head and dying in
ten minutes, and the father one
ball i'll his lung. The elder Culp
then turned the pistol on his
wife and shot her in the arm.
He is dying. The wife is not
hurt. 1t is not known
who fired first, as the testimony
has not been taken yet.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamcd you have rumb1ing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free,

An Elephant Rescues a Child
from a Bear.
Chicago Daily Tribune

Chicago Daily Tribune
b~+5i- E'9l-, Tie 10 ,.ar Ole
SIS el Of MIcnatl Rooney, the
bareback rider, was about to be
auggcd to death by bear yes
terday morning at Tattcrsall's,
when Babylon, one Of Ringling
Brothers big elephants, knock
ed the brute down and saved the
child's life.
The bear, known as "Growler," /"
has a vicious temper. He was
chained near the elephants. The
little girl is a friend to the ele>
plants, and was romping with
some Of them when GroWIer
seized her and closed his paws
around her slender form. Baby
Ion, who had been an interested
spectator, brought his trunk
down with crushing force on
Growers head. The bear was
stunned by the blow and releas-
ed the child, who had tainted.
The elephant then picked her up
and placed her where the bear
could not reach her. Attendants
who heard Bessie's screams ran
to her assistance, but arrived too
late to rob Babylon of the honor
of saving a human life.

LOVE FOR THE FLAG,
How Confederates Resented an
Insult to Stars and Stripes.

At the grand army encamp>
lnent in Cleveland General Leg
gett related an incident which
was vouched for to him as au>
thentic. 1t is SO remarkable
that, coming from almost any
body else than the general, it
would hardly be believed. Dur
ing the war squad of Confed-
crate soldiers under command of
captain captured number of
U. S. soldiers, and with them
an American flag. The Confed-
crate officer was delighted with
the capture of the flag, and to
show his contempt for 1t dragged
it behind him through the dust
and dirt as he marched into
General Stonewall Jackson S
camp with his prisoners. A Con-
federate soldier, seeing the stars
and stripes trailing in the dust,
raised his musket, took aim at
the Confederate officer, and in
language more fOrc1ble than po>
lite told him to lift that flag out
Of the dust or he would blow his
brains out.
The officer saw "shoot" IN the
man seye and lifted the flag out
OF the dirt, but took the name of
the private soldier who had Gin
suited" him, and reported the in
cident to General Jackson. The
general asked what he had done
to excite the wrath of the private,
and the captain told him that he
was dragging the stars and
stripes through the dirt. "He
did not shoot you?" said the gen.
eral. "No," said the officer, "he
did not shoot me-" The general
made some remark which indi-
Gated that he would not have
dealt harshly with the man had
he done SO, and said to the officer,
"That soldier was born under
the stars and stripes, and his
father was, and he still retains a
respect and affection for it, and
an officer of our army who has
no higher appreciation of the
sentiments of our people than
you appear to have is not fit to
be on my staff And he dis
missed the officer.
General Leggett remarked that
this showed that there was in the
Confederate army a strong under
current of affection for the old
stars and stripes, and he added
that a prominent officer of the
Confederate army once made the
remark that the mistake the
Corfederates made was in adopt
ing a new flag; that they ought
to have stuck to the stars aud
stripes and insisted that that was
their flag. Sandusky CO., Regis

Ransome, George S. French, of
Wilmington, N. c., was made
temporary chairman. He spoke

Your Physical Condition

needs attention at this time. Ifyou are
tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much over-work or
strain on brain and body. The course
of treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must first
he purified so that the nervous system.
and in fact all the organs will be fed
upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength in1parting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in a word, health and happiness
follow after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

On Monday last, near Wilson

himself through the head with a

death. No cause is assigned for
the act and it is believed that il

That Bond Issue.

Postmaster Gable has received and
posted conspicuously in the Santa Fe
postoffice Secretary Carlisle's circular of
January 6, asking for proposals for the
new bonds. The issue will be 100000
600 in bonds in denominations of $50
each. The bonds are TO be issued in
small denominations in order to place
them within the reach of the industrious
and provident laboring people of the
country, who are looking for safe invest
ment for their earnings.
The secretary of the treasury has pre-
pared and given out for publication a
table showing the amount which should
be bid for the new per cent bonds, ma
turing February l, 1925, in order that the
investor may realize any rate of interest
between az per cent and per cent per
annIm.
Every young man in the country who
has some money lying idle would do we'll
to invest in these bonds. Investments
in these bonds not only serve patriotic
purpose, but place investors in the pos
session of interest bearing collateral that
can always be turned into cash.
If the masses-the people in moderate
circumnstances-willi invest their idle cash
in these bonds 1t will not be necessary to
send one of them out of this country. It
would be an eye-opener for Europe to
see this government placing $1OO,OOO,00O
worth of It's bonds with it's working citi-
ZeDS.

Mr. CatrOn's PhOnograph.

"Bob" Gortner, formerly of Goshen, is
located in Washington for several weeks.
Mr.. Gortner is bright young gentleman
who holds position in the law office of a
Mr.. Cathcart, of New Mexico. Mr.. Cath
cart represents his territory in congress
and is Republican. Mr.. Gortner, who
comes from a strong Democratic family,
is an enthusiastic Republican.
Eight years ago." says Mr.. Gortner,
"when went to New Mexico, found the
best elements of society Republican, and
the worst people, such as the Mexicans,
Spaniards, half-breeds, etc, were Dem
ocrats. My associates we're and are now
Republicans, and drifted into that party.
am now firm believer in Republican
principles and expect to stay by them"
The above appeared in newspaper at
Goshen, Ind, the other day, where Mr..
Catron's clerk, Mr.. Gortner, was visiting.
Commenting on this Mrs. Olive Ennis
Hite writes from Washington to the AL
buquerque Democ as follows:
And yet Mr.. Gortner has returned to
that awful conglomeration of "half- breeds,
Mexicans, Spaniards, etc.,"-some of
whom must have voted for Mr.. Cathcart
(sic) in 1000 ma ority he is credited with
having piled up in the election that made
Mr.. Gortner a private secretary. Mr..
Gortner not only resigned his very "phat
take" as Mr.. Catron's clerk, but at this
writing is reaching out longing hands
and casting wistful eyes at the still phat-
ter take of clerk to the land court. The
leaven of righteousness in the Goshen
clipping is that Bob" was, most likely,
misquoted, for he is anything but an
idiot, and he comes of family strong in
the faith he has abjured. The blood is
in his veins and he may decide not "to
stay by them" But these two screeds
show how folks get mixed up in their
declaration of opinions according to
locality.
