AssAssINATED IN CHURCH.
Deacon Rufus Smiths Brains Spatter
the Chancel-Sh0t Near Forrest
Home, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept, 3.-Dur-
ing prayer meeting at a Baptist church
near Forest Home, Butler county, last
night Rufus Smith, one of the deacons,
was assassinated.
The congregation was just arising
from prayer, when a report of a gun
was heard. A charge entered the
window from the darkness and Smith,
who was occupying q front seat, was
to staggar and then fall heavily
forward dead. The entire top of his
head was blown of and his brains
were spattered upon the chancel in
front of the altar.
A panic followed among the congre-
cation, many women fainting and the
people rushing pell nell from the
building. A hasty search was made
for the murderer, but he had fed.
The identity OF Smiths slayer Is
not positively known, but he is be-
lieved to be q farm laborer, with whom
the dead man had a dispute yesterday,
and who is now missing. A posse Is
searching for the suspect.

End IN Sight.

PITTsBURa, Pa, Sept. 2.-The Pitts
burg coal operators were convinced
to-day that a settlement of the strike
was in sight, when inquiries for coal
began to come in from Cleveland.
Prices were asked and several con-
tracts made at 20 cents above the price
for mining, whatever the rate might
be. Cleveland is the headquar-
ters of the big shippers and these peo-
pie hold the key to the situation. The
cause of the food of inquiries was
therefore attributed to the fact that
the shippers believed that the strike
would soon terminate.
Colonel Rand gave his ultimatum to
q committee of his miners to-day.
He told them that if the proposal now
under consideration at Columbus was
rejected he would start his mines at

SCHOOL BOARDS DILEMMA.
Deadlock Over Contracts of Teachers
at Sturgeon.

STURGEON, Mo-, Sept. 3.-The dead
lock in the school board here is still
u%nbroken. School is set to begin next
Monday, Sept. 8, but up to date not a
contract has been made with a single
teacher. One faction of the board re-
fuses to go into a contract with Prof.
J. EsteIl Harvey, who has been en-
ployed as principal, and the other fac
ton refuses to deal with the other five
teachers until Prof. Harvey is accept
cd. Under the law it is a misdemean-
or, subject to 800 fine, for a teacher
to attempt to teach without a written
contract, and directors are liable to a
like fine for encouraging them in do
ing 80. The patrons of the school are
greatly aroused and are petitioning
the board to resign. No n can safely
predict the end.

The reporter of The Courier hearing of a
terrible malady with which a young and
handsome lady of Cumberland, Md, was
afflicted, called at the residence OF Mr.. Michael
barr, IS Frederick street, to learn something
of it.
Mrs. Darr SAID that her daughter Roselle,
aged 20 years, had been afflicted with a dis
ease that apparently had turned her blood
10 water, accompanied by nervous prostra-
ton, pains, loss of appetite, etc, making life
q burden.
The family physician was consulted, but
his treatment brought no relief, and her
daughters existence was 4 dragging misery.
The mother also said that her daughter
accidentally cut her finger rather severely,
and they were astounded to notice that no
blood came from the wound "Then," said
the mother Il was convinced that my
daughters blood had really turned to water"
Mrs. Darr, continuing. said she had read
of the merits of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and had little faith in such
remedies, but finally purchased a box at
Mr.. Hervey Laney's drug store, on North
Centre street.
After her daughter, Roselle, had taken
one box a slight improvement was noticed
in her condition the remedy was continued,
and after three and a half boxes were taken
her daughters health was restored.
The reporter naturally had n desire to see
the young lady after hearing these remark
able statements, but was informed that she
was ont If the city on a visit.
Mr.. Michael Darr, the father of the young
lady, is a passenger engineer on the Il. and
o. railroad, and is an experienced and pOpu-
lar railroad man.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back OF
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconven-
fence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The eII-r is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out COR
rectIy, cot your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.

Wheat and Protection.

From the SedaIia lMo.l Democrat.
Dick Bland, in a letter to the Post
Dispatch, makes the point against
the "protectionists" that the higher
prices for wheat and other farm pro-
ducts started in Europe; that they sell
higher in European markets than they
do here, and therefore the rise could
not have been caused by the new tariff
law. Aside from the stimulus caused
by the higher price for food products
there is nothing in present conditions
to inspire confidence in the wisdom of
the Dingley bill. Indeed, it is probable
ut the first opportunity the people will
r%epudiate 1t even more overwhelm-
ingly than they did the Mckinley bill.
