The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the

form of diseases except by one of two
ways. The first way is from inper-

ment of other diseases.

competitor is time, and when he
crosses the tape in his finishing sprint

James Michael, the most wonder
full bicyclist Of the world, recon-
mends all wheelmen to take Paine's
celery compound.
Many q young person and hundreds
of older people who have determined
to take up bicycling as a heating
ing exercise find themselves really
lacking the proper "snap' or stamina
to begin on. Their bodily condition
prevents SO spirited exercise. Many
who are really sick, who have suffered
from debility or wasting diseases for
a long time until they had begun to
think their troubles had become
chronic, as nothing gave them relief,
would turn to bicycling for relief, but
they find that this splendid exercise,
like any other, requires strength to
undertake. The blood is out of order,
the nerves are deranged, and natures
food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense Joy that Paine's celery COM

Michael has made cycle riding a
careful study, and is in a position
to give excellent advice, not only to
racing men, but to wheelmen and

several other counties, "a head Of

This was the verdict of the party and

Jake Maddox began trading In mules
away back in the forties. In 1s48 he
fed 1873 mules on a farm in Jackson

oats stacks for $500 and corn at II
cents per barrel in the field. He wal

he concluded to drive them south. He
and one other man took the entire 13&

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Panic Stricken Citizens of Mavfeld,
KY, Want to Burn a Sick Man.

MAYFIELD, KY, Oct. 13.-The crazy
fright hat overcomes some people
with the rumor of yellow fever was
well illustrated here to-day. But for
the Intervention of cooler heads a
sick man, penniIess and among
strangers, might have been burned In
q stable.
An unknown man, trying to make
his way on the Illinois Central Rail
road, from Memphis to Louisville,
where his son resides, was put off the
train here because he had no money
to pay his fare. He was SICK and was
found later lying neal the cemetery
in al unconscious condition. He was
taken to the poorhouse, where he
revived, but was delIrious.
In his deliriIm the man talked
about yellow fever. This at once
started a panic. The county physician
had the patient removed from the
poorhouse, and had him CHARTERED in
arude stable in the town. Armed men
of the town surrounded the stable and
threatened to burn it and the sick
man in it. The owner of the stable,
having more manhood than those who
stood around it, himself threatened to
shoot the first man who neared the
barn.
Physicians this afternoon visited the
patient and found that he was suffer-
ing from chills and malarial fever.
He will be properly cared for, though
he may have to be sent to Louisville
to secure such treatment, as the peo-
pie are still panic stricken.

SENORITA CISNEROS' ESCAPE.
A Comprehensive Account OF the
Brave Girls Rescue From
Spanish Fiends.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Mlss Evange-
lima Cisneros, who recently escaped
from a Spanish prison in Cuba, was q
passenger by the Ward Line steamer
Seneca, which arrived this morning.
Her name did not appear on the
passenger list, but there is every rea-
son to believe that she is under the
name of Miss Juana Sola.
One of the passengers stated that
Miss Cisneros was in charge of a
gentleman, who accompanied her from
Havana. When the Seneca reached
quarantine she retired to her room
and could not be found.
Later Miss Cisneros was een in her
state room on board the Seneca. She
occupied state room No. 3. She suf-
fered greatly from sea sickness and
kept to her room during the entire
voyage.

Yellow Fever at New Orleans.

IellOW ceVer 1t NEW UfleanS.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13.--This day
was a record smasher in the number
of deaths in a single day from yellow
fever since the sickness was first
reported in New Orleans. 1t is diff
cult to find the cause, except in the
fact that concealment, neglect and
rebellion against the authority of the
Board of Health have made it difficult
for physicians to give proper attention
to cases.
At 2 O'Clock this evening there had
been 0 fatalities during "a hours.
Heretofore the highest number of
deaths in any one day has been @.

ports: New cases OF yellow fever, 81;

B. B. Runkle on Getting Subscribers.

B. B. Runkle on Getting Subscribers
Walter Williams in the Missouri Editor.
The Mexico (Missouri) LEDGER,
owned and edited by Robert M. White,
has for a country newspaper an I'M
usually large subscription list. The
rate charged is $3.50 a year, not cash
in advance. Much of the success of
the LEDGER is due to the foreman and
business manager, B. B. Runkle, or
'Bass," as the boys call him. Mr..
Runkle is not only a splendid Office
man, doing everything that a foreman,
book keeper or editor could do, but
he is a general all around hustler out
side. Indeed, he bears the reputation
of getting more subscribers in a sim
gle day than any other man in the
state. -.-..
"There is no set rule for getting
subscribers" said Mr.. Runkle. sI 60

"That depends, of course, on the
subscriber. The publisher can often
afford to pay several dollars to get
the head OF the family on the List. A
man will bring all his advertising,
news items, job printing, etc., to the
office which prints the paper which
he reads. And when a good paper
