demnsd to die Saturday for the murder

the drug store TO get prescription con-
sisting of a white substance which he
gave her In a big dose.
He became much alarmed, and said he
believed she was going to die, and that
she, did die. DR.. Wagner procured a
hack, which they thought was his own,
and all three got into the hack and drove
to Fort Thomas. The hack was stopped
on an incline. All got out, and Jackson
held the dead body of Pearl Bryan in
his lap while DR.. Wagner cut her head
OF. He let the body fall, and it rolled

In revising the several dutiable schedules
as rule the duties have been fixed at
points between the tariff of 1890 and the
present tariff, it having been found that
On account Of changed conditions in a
large part of the articles duties lower
than those of 1890 would be equally pro-
tective.
The metal and cotton schedules are in
large part the same as in the present tar

tariff of 1890, the duties on fruit having

 They said it was from vein four feet thick. They also had good samples of iron ore. The general committee are making preparations to get to work, and will soon start out on long pros pecting journey when they expect to col lect all the data needed to furnish their representative to go east with in the early part of 1898.
 As an evidence of what Decatur has been losing for many years in not mak- ing pull for cotton trade, is the fact that Dodsin's new cotton gin plant, al- though only in operation a little more than a month, has already ginned over 700 bales, and have orders ahead for nearly that many more.
 They only estimated on 400 bales the first season. They have placed orders for machinery to double their plant.

The Fever Cloud is Fast Disappearing

Yellow fever will soon be thing of the past Cold weather is doing what no remedy known to scienc= can accom-
 plish-killing the germs just as the great Botanic remedy, Anti-Catarrh, is subduing those dreadful diseases, ca- tadg'h and kindred complaints. It Is just as impc t5sble for cata.Th to exist where Anti-C Catarrh is used, as it Is for yellow fever to thrive With the thermometer at zero. This is a strong assertion, but it is a fact and we have the proofs to substaniiate it. There is no q 'ssase more common, nona more neglected and still it has been one of the most difficult to control. In fact, many conS.d der it an incurable complaint But the new Alask- an specific, Anti Catarrb, is accomplish ing results that a year ago were said to be impossible. Thus as the wheel of time turns around things that were con- sidered impossible then are easily ac complished now, and if you continue to suffer with catarrh, bronchitis, tonsilitis la grippe, hay fever qu.nsy or headache you have but yourself to bla ms as all that is necessary is to reach out your hands and grasp the remedy which boun- tiful nature offers in Anti-Catarrh and rid yourself of a loathsome disease be- fore 1t has developed into consumption, indig stion or cancer of the stomach. Give it a trial. You will not be disap- pointed. It relieves at once and is guar anteed to cure any case either chronic or acute. For sale by all druggist, $1.

TIE VIRGINIA CONFERENCE
Second Days Session Was Very
 Interesting.
A C0L0RED BISHOP SPEAKS
Makes a Stirring Address, Appealing to the White People For Aid in Preparing the
 Negro For Missionary Work.

Danville, Va, Nov. 1s.-The. second days session of the Virginia annual conference. Methodist Episcopal Church. South. was very interesting. An able address by the agent of the American Bible society was one of the bright feat ures 1of the session.
 Rev. pr. L. H. Halsey. colorsd bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church of America, was introduced to the conference and made stirring and ference to an enthusiastic point. He spoke in the interest of the Payne insti- tute, an educational institution for col ored men established at Augusta, by the auspices of the late Bishop Atticus G. Haygood. The school needs money for the enlargement of the buildings and Bishop Halsey's appeal today resulted in an immediate collection amounting to $5O2.00 in cash. Bishop Fitzgerald he aded the list of contributors with a subscription of $25O0.
 Much enthusiasm was manifested, and while the collection was being taken up Rev. M. V. Tudor said: This scene is an object lesson to our northern brs th- ren, by which they could learn that we are solving the great social and nation al problem among ourselves"
 Bishop Halsey's speech was bright, eloquent and humorous. Among other things he said he believed the institution of slavery was an instrument in the hands of God for the spread of the Cos pei and 1t is the mission of the southern negroes, who have been civilized and Christianized through slavery to Chris tianize the fatherland, Africa.
 His appeal to his white brethren to aid in preparing the regro for this grand work, was eloquent, earnest and touch ing. When the roll of ministers was called for character examination, charges of gross immortality were pre- ferred against Rev. M. S. Watts, of Middlesex circuit, Rappahanock district, a commission was appointed to try him at this session of the congress.
