Paine's Celery Compound Makes
the Sick Well Again.
The Wonderful Prescription That Results
from the Life Work of Americas Greatest
Physician, Investigator and Practitioner.

There is one direction, as DR.. George
F. Shrady, Americas first surgeon,
distinctly says, in which people seem
to need enlightenment at present
more than they have for many years
past.
s'This is the rational appreciation Of
the danger of quackery and fake
cures"
DR.. shrady's article in the New
York World of December n should
be read by every man and woman
who is ever inclined to listen to the
nonsensical, but too often plausible,
rambIings of traders in patent medi-
cines.
When Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ.
D., LII. D., of Dartmouth College, af-
ter a long life of study in the most
recent scientific Investigation Of dis
ease, evolves the marvellous formula of
Paine's celery compound-when after
the closest possible observance by the
best practitioners it Is found that this
greatest remedy of our generation
not only does all, but even accom-
plishes more than the modest doctor
the giant among men that he has
proved to be-more than he was will
ing at first to claim-when Thousands
of sufferers In every walk Of life,
sufferers from the ailments that come
from overwork, deranged digestive
organs, impaired nervous systems,
too poor or too rich living, inatten-
ton to hygienic laws, have been alb
solutely restored to health by Paine's
celery compound, after vainly trying
every other possible remedy, and be-
ing dosed by well meaning but incom-
pstent so-called physicians.

PROPOSED GAME LAW.
Prominent Sportsmen Meet and Agree
Upon a Bill-Several Changes
Proposed.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, January 10.
Pursuant to a call issued by State
Game and Fish Warden Jesse w.
Henry some time since, number
of gentlemen interested in the pre-
servation of the game and fish of
the state met in the Commercial
Club rooms in this city today. An
organization was formed by the
election of James j. Russell of
Mississippi county chairman, and
Judge B. F. Bourne Of Scotland
county secretary. There were
about fifty of the most prominent
sportsmen of the state present.
After celebrating several hours a
bill wiping out all of the existing
game and fish laws ON the statute
books was agreed upon. The meas
ure will be shaped up and intro
duced.
1t will provide for a game and
fish commission, which shall appoint
chief game warden, whose salary
is not to exceed $500 and who will
be empowered to appoint deputy
wardens. The bill will ask for an
appropriation of $4,000. Briefly
stated, the new law will prohibit the
catching of bass and crappie and
other game fish in Missouri between
the 1st of April and the LIST of June.
Fish can only be caught with hook
and line, and stringent penalties
are provided for seining, netting
and the use of dynamite, The open
season on turkey is from October /
to March 1, and the open season for
quail and prairie chicken is from
October Is to January Is. The
handling or selling of game is pro-
hibited.
The bill will provide for a license
to hunt and fish. The license will
be issued by county and circuit
clerks, at fee of 81. Farmers are
exempt from this provision of the
law. It will be unlawful to ship
game out of the state. Messrs.
Marshal F. Mcdonald, Sam T.
Rathell, George Rollins, Jesse W.
Henry, Judge 81. Clay Ewing. Alex.
Fl. Smith, F. NJ. Brown and j. J.
Russell were appointed committee
to formulate and present the bill,

DELAYED BY a Broken ailderauke.

The ingenuity of the Nebraska ed
itor, who explains the delay in issuing
his paper in the following manner, is
worthy to be perpetuated among the
archives of journalistic achievements:
"Our paper is two days late this
week, owing to an accident to our
press. When we started to run the
edition on Wednesday night, as usual,
one of the guy ropes gave away, al
lowing the forward gilderfuke to fall
and break as it struck the fiunker
topper. This, of course, as anyone
who knows anything about press will
readily understand, left the gang
plank with only the fiipfap to support
it, which also dropped and broke off
the wapperchoke. This loosened the
fuking between the ramrod and the
fbbersnatcher, which also caused
trouble. The report that the trouble
was caused by over indulgence in in
toxicating stimulents by ourself is a
tissue Of falsehoods, the peeled ap-
pearance Of our right eye being caused
by our going into the hatchway of the
press in onr anxiety to start it, and
pulling the coupling pin after the
sIapbung was broken, which caused
the dingus to rise up and welt us in
the optic. We expect a brand new
gilderfiuke on this afternoons train.' -

NEGRO MuRDERERs LYNcHED.
Three Men Hanged bya Desperate
Mob at Amite City, La.

ANTE CTTY, La, Jan. zV.-Anfoe
negro murderers were lynched here
early this morning-Arch Joiner and
John johnson, who, at the last
moment, confessed to the killing of
the FIVE members of the Cotton family,
and Gus Williams, alias Morrissey,
who shot and killed his young wife.
The bodies of Joiner and johnson still
hang to a limb of a stout oak in the
woods near the house in which they
butchered their victims. Williams
body was cut down to-day and an in
quest held over it.
Last night 300 men approached the
Court House, and, securing the keys,
forced an entrance. The three negroes
were taken into the ourt-green, and,
with long ropes attached to their
necks, were led by horsemen to the
Little Zion church, in Oak street, in
this place. There Williams was hang
ed to a tree that did duty before as q
gallows.
A heavy rainstorm was prevailing
when the line of march was taken up,
and Joiner and johnson walked about
a mile, when johnson said he could 60
no further, that he was exhausted. "a
wagon was procured and both negroes
hustled into 1t, and the march re-
sumed. Just before reaching Cotton's
place, II miles away, a few lines of
"Nearer, My God, 10 Thee" was hum
med to a doleful tune. Arriving at the
place where the FIVE murders were
committed, Joiner made a daring
break for freedom, but was recap
tured. He then requested to'be per-
mitted to fight Johson, saying that
Johnson had got him into all the troub-
le. The negroes were permitted to
fight until the mob became impatient.
They were then conveyed into differ
emit rooms of the house, and by threats
and torture were forced to confess to
the murder of the Cotton family.
Someone suggested putting the men
to death by burning, and fires were
started. The less desperate, however,
changed the programme, and the two
men were hanged eide by side, after
which volley OF shots was fired into
their bodies.
Gus Williams murdered his wife one
night last summer. He arose about 2
O'Clock, got his gun and went out to
shoot some rats. He said he poked
the barrel in a crack in the wall and
fred, and f,is wife, who had got up,
fell dead. He said it was an accident.
johnson and Joiner were brought to
Amite City from New Orleans yester-
day to plead to the indictments against
them, and after the hearing had been
without bail. The object of
the Cotton murders was robbery.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have q
rumbhng sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF deafness Caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

I When this is taken into considera.
ton and at the same time we fine
hosts of people still willing to be lee
astray by the hundred and one nos
trums which irresponsible traders try
to foist upon them on the pretext that
these preparations are Gas good az
Paine's celery compound" [but really
because they made a big profit or
such prepal.ations], it is time fol
every one who detests fraud to warn
his neighbors, and take the warning
to himself, that when he goes to gel
q bottle of Paine's celery compound
he must not be wheedled into taking
some other remedy.
Paine's celery compound makes
people well. These other things work
harm.
Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine. It's formula is given
freely to every physician.
These trashy stuffs that you are
asked to buy are made up of ingred-
tents that should never be taken into
q sick stomach.
These ordinary nervines, tonics and
sarsaparillas are no more to be COM
pared with Paine's celery compound
than the glimmering candle is to be
compared with the wonderful modern
search light.
II person needs a true nerve
tonic, real blood purifier, reliable
diuretic, that will restore strength,
renew vatility, regulate the kidneys,
liver and bowels, and make one well,
let that person try his or her first
