In the state, but without relief. In
fact, my sufferings grew worse daily,
until l despaired of ever being cured.
"I had been in this wretched condi-

a dozen or more rheumatic cures and

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
so completely as rheumatism--tha de-
p1orable condition of the blood which
so often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system. !.
Rheumatism is deep-seated blood
disease and only real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most of the so-called blood RENE
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms OF
rheumatism is tingling sensation OF
the parts affected, generally brought
about from a lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of ). >. D.;
it thins the blood, gives it free and
forcibie circulation, destroys the pois-
onous microbes and restores the circu-
1ation to it's normal condition.

and influential citizen of West Point,

dread disease:

woman played steadily on; only now

set teeth, "For my love-my lovel"
They all came crowding out at last,
with Bertha Yeend walking in the fore

The notes and gold were gripped tightly

LIKE A FRAGRANT FLOWER.

My love is like fragrant flower
That blossoms in the dew
And drinks the balm of every shower
That falleth from the blue.
She fails me not, in care or dole,
This lovely flower Of mine,
For then the sweetness of her soul
Seems all the more divine.
Her beauty fills my life with cheer.
Her sweet and tender voice
Is heavenly music in my ear
And makes my heart rejoice.
So light and full of soothing power,
So tender and as true
My love is like fragrant flower
That blossoms in the dew.

A NEW DANGER.
About Timelto Call a Halt on the New
ROentgen Ray.


Roentgen Ray.
From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is about time to call halt in the
cathode ray business. There is little
doubt Professor Roentgen has discovered
new method for the application of
light, which, under proper restrictions,
may be used for the benefit of suffer
ing humanity, but, unfortunately, there
are people who do not seem disposed to
allow the rays to be monopoliztd by the
medical fraternity. Every day brings
some new application for their use, the
results of experiments by so-called sci
entists, and the outlook for the future is
appalling in the extreme.
1t has got so no man is safe from at
tack by the cathode ray fend even in his
own home. The machinery is simple,
low in cost and easy to operate, and it is
in this turks the chief danger and an
noyance. The man who has stopped on
his way home to take few drinks with
convivial friends can no longer plead
with effect the old excuse of being de-
tanned by blockade of street cars. His
wife will have the cathode ray focused
on him almost before he fits the latch
key in the door and can tell to certain
ty the number and kind of drinks he has
INDUCED in. In fash she will have a
photograph of his interior that preyari-
cation and cloves cannot displace. Under
the penetration of the searching rays
the secrets of his pockets will be re-
vealed and convincing picture taken of
the letter which she had given him a full
week before to mail and which he had
solemnly declared upon his honor as a
gentleman he had put into the postofice
with his own hands. 1t will be of nc
avail for him to assert he has no money
when she asks him for "ifty" for new
bonnet, as turning on of the cathode
ray will give her the number and demon.
ination of every bill in his wallet, and
even disclose the matinee tickets he has
bought for some other woman.
There is but one way of escape from
the impending danger. Let every voter
demand of the legislative candidates OF
his district pledge to support the pass
age of bill which will prohibit the use
of the Roentgen light except by trained
experts in medical and surgical cases.
''No cathode ray in our homes" should
be the shibboleth of all Americans.

TO SAIL IN THE AIR.
A SYNDICATE FOR THE CONSTRUC.
TION OF AIR.SHIPS.
The Inventor Has Perfected His ContriY-
ance and it is Pronounced the Great
est Achievement OF the Age.

est Achievement OF the Age.
Trusting to the judgment of some of
the most eminent meteorologists of Ger
many, number of capitalists of Berlin
and other large cities, are forming big
syndicate for the construction of air
ships, patterned after the invention of
Count Won Zeppelin, well-known and
popular Wurtemburg officer. The in.
ventor has now, after years of assiduous
labor, perfected his continuance and it is
approved by all who have seen it. 1t ia
pronounced the greatest achievement of
the age.
The people of Stuttgart, where the in
7entor resides, though praislng the
count for his brave services during the
Franco>Prussian war; have always ridi.
culed him for spending his time and
money on what they thought was a
pseudo scientific ehimera.
Count Won Zeppelin has spent all his
life and energies in seeking to solve the
problem of controlling aerial navigation.
His enormous estate has been spent in
the construction and trials of airships.
During all these years he took but few
into his confidence. Among them we're
the great Stuttga.t scientist, Professor
Forester, and the late specialist, DR..
Won Helmholtz. These friends prophes
sled great things for the inventor. They
anticipated that some day Won Zeppe.
lin would announce to the world that he
had overcome all obstacles
Now, after decades of hard study and
financial sacrifice, he invites the scien-
tific world to examine the results. But
it is also known that he is at the end of
his resources, and that he has not money
enough left to build another ship.
which scientists say will cost at least
10000 m. rks.
The Zeppelin airship is cigaroshaped
vessel, and can be steered upward and
downward, right and left, forward and
backward in fact all the difficulties of
aerial travel are mastered.
The buoyancy of the ship is easily OBJ
tanned, rising 10000 feet without diff
Guilty, and it can be dropped lightly by
a few simple manipulations.
So far the load to be carried must not
exceed 5000 pounds for each vessel, but
it is believed that improvements in this
matter will be made at an early date.
A Daimler kerosine motor, construct
ed entirely of aluminium, furnishes pow
er for wings and sore US. 1t is said that
the means for propulsion are perfect in
every detail.
Several inventions specially adapted to
prevent the waste of gas are adjusted
in the vessel, allowing it to remain
above ground for week or more a
time.
The kaiser has shown deep interest
in the invention of Count Won Zeppe-
lin. He intimated that it should be util-
lied at once for coast defenses.

count. Wnen Cne guns were advanced a t
Charlottesville to check Jackson's twi<
light attack the earth was fairly cum-
bered with the dead and wounded. On
the few acres of cleared ground over
Whice the guns had to advance were
camp fires, knapsacks, haversecks,
stacked muskets and several hundred
men who had fallen under the volleys
poured in from the edge of the forest.
The guns dashed tight into and over
this tumble, and above the roar of mus
kerry from the oncoming confederates
we caught the screams and shrieks of
our wounded men as they realized that
death was to come under the heavy
wheels.
The burial parties were always
pushed for time, and yet there was no
time to look inta the faces and observe
the attitudes of thesdead and notice that
death seldom came to two alike. Some
suffered agonies from their wounds
others died as peacefully as if no
twinge of pain had been felt. Some
had their lips parted as if praying to
God or uttering farewells to the loved
ones at home-others had lips com
pressed and their faces showed grim de-
termination or anger. Sometimes a
wounded man had crawled away into
the bushes or behind stump or log to
die. On his bronzed, cheeks partly
bleached by the touch of death, we
would find traces of tears. and the hard
lines would be softened down. When
struck down as they moved and dying
within few minutes they carr, ed fierce
stern faces and clenched hands, and
nearly always their eyes were wide
open and their lips parted to show their
teeth. If the musket had not fallen
from their hands under the shock of the
missile it was clenched so tightly that
their stifened fingers had to be opened
one by one.
There was no pity for the wounded
while the fight was ON. Now and then
1t was possible to alleviate thirst, or in
case of an officer to carry him to the
rear, but the unwounded had little
thought of the fallen. 1t was only
when night came down and the roar OF
battle had died ont to a growing and
sputtering here and there that new
sound rose on the evening air to pale
the faces of the veterans lying about
with open haversacks. 1t was a sound
which began like the far off murmur OF
a mighty crowd-which came nearer
and nearer-which swelled in volume
till it drowned all other sounds-which
separated itself from the shouts of men
ne Ching of horses, peals of bugles and

that under the laws of the state they

ROW IN A COURTROOM.
Two Lawyers Fall Out and Threaten Each
Other.


ALBANY, GA, February 25.-During
the session of Justice Wilder's court in
this city this afternoon there was SEN
sational scene enacted between two very
prominent citizens and lawyers-Captain
Richard Hobbs and Mr.. John D. Pope
which would undoubtedly have ended in
a tragedy had not it been for interposi-
ton of friends. AS it was Hobbs drew
his knife and threatened to cut Pope's
throat, while at the same time that gem
tleman thrust his hand in his overcoat
pocket and seemed prepared for any at
tack his antagonist might make.
The trouble grew out of case involv-
ing bale of cotton. Hobbs accused
Pope of manufacturing evidence, which
Pope resented and which ended in the
manner already described.
During the progress of the row the
court was paralyzed and it was some
minutes before order could be restored.

An Adyenture with a windmil.

Near Rautenburg, Russia, man at
ten pied to pass between the ponderous
arms of windmill in motion. The size
and force of these antique motors may
be judged from the fact that the fool
hardy man, being caught on one of the
arms, was first raised aloft and then
flung over the roof of a hotel standing
at some distance from the mill, dropping
on the cobble-stone pavement on the
other side. He died Immediately. The
mill is 200 years old. According to a
hoary tradition it will collapse after the
twelfth disaster caused by it. This last
is the twelfth, and now credulous
neighbors are full of fear of a catas-
trophe.
