HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE Diedrich KahrS Found
 Dead in Bed. Shoots Himself in the Head
 with a Pistol.
Nobody Heard the Fatal Shot and the Corpse Was Accidentally
 Found.

Diedrich Kahrs yesterday afternoon yolunxlliiy left this world by shoot ing himself with a revolver. The deed was not discovered until 5 o'clock yes terday evening by Geo. N. Luhfs of the Commercial hotel.
 Kahrs was occupying a house be- longing to Luhrs on the corner Of Jackson street and Second avenue. There is a small vineyard in the rear of the house and last evening MT. Luhrs called for the purpose of pick ing some grapes. AS he passed in front of the house he happened to look in the window, which was open, and saw Kahrs lying on the bed with a pistol at his side He entered the room and saw at a glance that the man was dead. He at once notified Justice Johnstone, who impanelled coroner s jury and examined the remains.
 Before committing the deed Kahrs disrobed and put on clean undercloth- ing, for his discarded clothing was scattered over the room. He was found lying on his back and clutched in his left hand was a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver of the hammerless pattern He placed the muzzle of the weapon to his left ear and pulled the trigger. The ball lodged in the brain and death must have been instanta- neous. The pillow was covered with blood and as the bed coverings were in no way disarranged, it is proof that death came quickly after the fatal shot was fired
 The deceased lived alone in the md Aha osrrh heard the report of a weapon. He must have committed the deed be- tween the hours of 2:30 and o'clock the time when found by MT. Luhrs About 2:30 o'clock he was seen on the streets by several people, but no one remembers of seeing him after that time.
 The dead man had been threatening to commit suicide for some time and as the threats were frequent no one attached any significance to the threat of self-destruction. He called at the Commercial hotel Wednesday night and said goodbye to MT Luhrs with the remark that he would not see him again as he would be dead by morning. MT. Luhrs had often heard the same threat and paid no attention but he remarked a few minutes after wards that he ought to send an un- dertaker after Kahrs, which would probably have the effect of changing the old mans mind about killing him. self Kahrs appeared again at the Commercial yesterday morning about 4 o'clock and appeared to be ill, but to all inquiries said that he was al right. He had been drinking during the morning and of late had been in. dulging freely. The deceased was 5: years of age and native of Germany He leaves three children named re spectively George, Margaret anG Henry. George Kahrs conducts the Commercial hotel dining rooms H. also leaves a wife in this city iron whom he has been separated for some time. He was carpenter by trade and has lived in this penter by trade and has lived in this country for good many years and i. known to all old timers The re mains were removed to Randall 6 Davis and the funeral will occul sometime today.

The readers of this paper will be
glad to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
ap the constitution and assisting ma.
ture in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Meeting OF Stockholders.

Last Wednesday, in accordance with
the published notice, the stockholders
OF the First National Bank met in the
office of that institution. The old
board of Directors was again chosen
and the same officers reelected, with
the exception of cashier, Mr.. Earnest
rendering his resignation, and Silas
Cooper was elected in his stead,
The resignation'of Mr.. Earnest vas
unexpected, outside of the officers of
the bank, and is greatly regretted by
n and all our people, not for the fact
that he is out of the bank simply, but
because he is going to leave Jonesboro
where he has for 80 many years lived
and labored, and where he has such a
host of warm friends-they being
limited only by the number of his ac.
quaintances. He will move his family
to johnson City this week, and expects
to make that place his home, as he has
assumed the Secretaryship of the Mag
netic Building and Loan Association,
with which he has been connected for
some time. Our best wishes go with
Mr.. Earnest and his pleasant family,
and no one will more warmly welcome
them back to %Jonesboro than the uer.
aid and Tribune.
In the election of Silas Cooper as
cashier the bank has certainly secured
an efficient and gentlemanly officer,
a man we'll known to all the people,
and we congratulate each-the bank
and Mr. Cooper on the good fortune
that has fallen to their lot.
The report of the cashier was ncou
aging, and showed a better business
done during the year just closed than
the previous one. The bank is one of
the substantial business concerns of
Jonesboro, and we are proud of it.

If we could trace dyspepsia to it
source, it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. If we'll cooked, foods
are partially digested; if poorly cooked
they are less digestible than in their
raw state. If you are a victim of faulty
cooking, that is. if you suffer from
dyspepsia, the rational curt must be
looked for in an artificially digested
food, and food which will OF the same
time aid the digestion of other foods.
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor-
ing them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such a preparation, and a single ten
cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If your druggist don't keep it,
