Observation-Disclosures
FRACAs AT LOST CREEK.
A Girardvllle Mans skull Fractured by a
Saloonkeeper.

Saturday night man named Savage, a
resident of Girardville, arrived at Lost Creek
with the intention of visiting friends and
was under the influence of drink. He went
into Daniel Tolan's saloon and asked for
drink, which was refused. The man then
became boisterous and abusive and Tolan put
him out of the place. Savage returned and
kicked at the screen door, whereupon Daniel
Tolan, Jr., went out and a scuflle followed.
Savage was getting the best of his adversary
when, it is alleged, the elder Tolan ran out
and struck the Giardville man on the head
with the handle of sledge hammer. Savage
was rendered insensble. He was carried to
Johnson's drug store, where an examination
showed that the mans skull had been
fractured Savage's head was dressed and he
was sent to his home at Girardville. No
arrests have been made.

Richards and Gill, who were on their
way out after timber, concur with Sheri-

were knocked off their feet and banged
against some brattice work. They cannot
conceive the possibility of anybody being
in the wreck and escaping with his life.

anv of these. 1t is the commonest trouble
that human beings suffer from. 1t is so
common that nine-tenths of all the sickness
In the world is traeeable TO 1t. 1t is merely
that simple, common thing constipation.
There is no telling what 1t may lead to, but
1t is sure to lead to something bad. Its i'm
mediate effects are unpleasant In the ex-
IRENE. II makes people Gstless, gives
them headaches, makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss of
sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.
All this merely because Nature has been
imposed upon, and has been refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One pill is a
gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic.
There are two remarkable things about the
Pellets" One is that they never grippe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently. You can take any other
medicine you like, as long as you like, and
if you stop, your trouble will come back
quickly, and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than it was before. This
isn't true of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
You take them until you get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you stop.
You don't have to take any more Pellets !"

deranges your digestive system again. We

that they are true, and have testified to
them. Let the druggist who says that some

Hypnotized The Bears.


j. Z. Newsome is Port Arthur
Canadian, and Alex Anderson comes
from Pearl river. An Englishman
named Atwell wanted to get bear,
and Anderson tried to crafty his de-
sire. Newsome told Forest and
Stream about it. Atwell was the
kind of man who would like TO kill
bear in a trap, so Anderson took
two bear traps aud lot of bait up
gully near Ouimet, looking for
sign. The Englishman went looking
for bears and left Anderson to set
the traps.
Allof a sudden a big she bear ap,
peared before Anderson at the foot
of a tree between a couple of
whose roots one trap was to have
been set. Not having any gun An
derson, so Newsome says, determined
that hypnotic force had to be used,
and that suddedly. Anderson look
ed the bear in the eyes and the bear
paused; then Anderson made three
passes with his hands. The bear
leaned its head forward and its eyes
bulged out. Having satisfied him
self that the bear was properly infu.
encad, Anderson yelled for Atwell,
but Atwell was a good way of, and
before he could arrive the she bears
2-year-old and yearling cub came
out OF the tree at the same time. A
yearling cub alone would be pref
ty bad fighter at close quarters, es-
pecially with hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at
any moment, but 2-year-old cub
and yearling both at once made a
very serious matter.
But Anderson was fully equal to
the emerengency. He managed to
look at the bears four eyes at once,
and soon had them subjurgated.
Newgome says he would not have be.
lieved Anderson's tale only Ander-
son is now cross-eyed, which he
wasn't before, owing to his looking

A Courageous Woman.


Russiss young empress has GREAT
ed CONSERVATION at the court of st.
Petersburg by notwithstanding the
use of tobacco by the ladies with
whom she is brought into contact.
She is credited with the observation
that q cigarette in the mouth of q
woman is as bad as an oath in the
mouth of a man, and has requested
that neither her ladies.in waiting
nor yet the ladies ofthe court should
approach her as long as thereas the
slightest aroma of tobacco about
their person.
Now, nearly every member OF the
imperial family, and in natural con-
sequence well nigh every lady in
court and in society is addicted to
the use and even abuse of cigarettes,
the Grand Duchess Vladimir being
conspicuous among the number. The
widowed czarins, like her sisters, the
Princess of Wales and the Duchess
of Cumberland never favored the
use of tobacco by ladies'; but in
spite of all her influence upon her
husband, Alexander III, did not
venture to openly object to it On The
part of the members of the court.
That the young empress has had
the courage to do SO constitutes
proof not only that her influence
over her husband is Of a predomi-
nant nature, but also that she will
not hesitate to use it for the execu-
tion of her ideas, irrespective Of any
prejudices or obstacles that she
might encounter.
There is only one other sovereign
in Europe who manifests q similar
aversion to tobaceo-namely Queen
Victoria, who has been known to
cause her private secretary, the late
General Sir Henry Ponsonby, to adj
dress letters to her various cabinet
ministers complaining of the aroma
of tobacco with which the social
documents and state papers submit
ted to her for signature were i'm
