They are taken away by the disease
which causes over one.siSth of all the
deaths in the world-the disease which
doctors call consumption. There is alb
solutely no reason in the world why con-
sumption should be fatal-why il should
be even serious. 1t is disease of the
blood, and can be cured absolutely and
always by purifying and enriching the
blood. The only exception 10 this is the
case where the disease has been neglected

than the body-until the body has become
so weak as to have lost the ability to re-

The old saying that there is nothing
IN name does not always prove true.
y colored man named a. T.. Robinson
was fined 81 and costs q few days ago
In the Mayors court for drunkenness.
There is another man by that name who
lives in Berkeley and is well up In the
church. Some OF the colored brothers
are jealous OF him and when they saw
the name In the papers, one OF them
reported him and the church took ac-
ton IN the m%ter and was about to
bounce him when he asked for time to
prove his innocence. Yesterday he
made application to Mayor Baird for n
certificate that he was not the man and
when 1t was given he left with a
broad smile all over his face to think
that he had conquered his enemy and
he now thinks that there Is something

A Desperate Fellow.

The land OF Sweet Canaan has been
quiet so long that the public had almost
come TO the conclusion that 1t had been
plotted from existence, but Sunday it
broke loose afresh. when a negro named
Montgomery beat his wife who was con-
fined to her bed, quite badly. Officer
Linnehan was sent for and attempted
to arrest the follow, who is Il powerful
built man. For some time the two scuf-
fled together, but finally the officer got
the n!ppers on Montgomery and started
off with him. Before he had gotten far the
negro dealt the officer a powerful blow,
for which he received in turn good
humping. He was finally landed in the
county jail and yesterday was fined for
beating his Wife resisting an officer,
and for assau!ting the officer. In default
he was committed to Jail for A DAYS to
think over his troubles
