FLANAGAN ESCAPES.
Was Under Sentence for Killing Two
Women.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 15.-InformatiOn
reaches here this morning from Decatur
that Edward Flanagan, the alleged para
noic recently convicted of murder, after
a sensational trial, and now under SEN
tence of death, escaped from the jail at
that place last night.
The announcement created tremen-
dous Sensa ton both in Decatur and
Atlanta. Posses were organized to
search for the murderer. The COVER
nor and the sheriff offered 500 reward
for his capture. Judge Chandler, adj
journed court to confer with the COVER
nor. Rumors spread abroad that Elan
agan had really been lynched. In the
midst of this excitement, the supposed
missing prisoner was discovered secret
ed in an unused apartment of the jail.
Charles Smith, a lawyer, who was
searching the Jail CHANGED to enter this
stick in the hands of the murderer and
severely beaten.
When Sheriff Austin went to Flana-
gan's cell at o'clock this morning it
was deserted. On the table was a note
addressed to the sheriff saying:
Il will be gone all night; you will not
come in till late to bring my breakfast.
My friends are all good friends.
My friends got key that happened to
fit the outside lock. l am going to the
country where 1 will be free.
The sheriff jumped at the conclusion
that his famous prisoner had escaped
and spread the alarm.
Flanagan was bOarder in the home
of George Allen, near Decatur.
He had mania for falling in love with
very young girls and conceived a mad in
fatuation for little Leila Allen, the 13-
year-old daughter of George Allen. When
he asked her hand in marriage and was
refused he set out to exterminate the
family. He succeeded in killing Mrs. Al
len, George Aliens mother and Mrs. Ruth
Slack, visitor. The crime was commit
ted on the night of the 31st of last De-
cember. Flanagan was tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged, and his ex-
ecution has only been deferred pending
an appeal. The defense offered a plea
of insanity and Flanagan himself de-
clared that he was trying to save Leila
Allen. from ruin at the hands of her
father, when he killed the two women.

Cloth Dyed ON Both sides.

In England a new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for lining. At first 1t
is dyed through in the usual manner.
It is then taken to printing machine
provided with a roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over its surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up to the cloth. 1t is SO
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
is finished in the ordinary way-Cni-
cago Inter Ocean.

INDIANA is CRIPPLED.
One of Uncle Sans Big War Vessels
Injured in Docking.

New York, September IA speciel to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hall
fax says:
During the recent docking of the bat
tleship Indiana her bottom bulged un-
der the forward turret. The fault is
attributed to navel constructor BowleS
of New York He came here to see
that the docking was properly done.
The weight of the turrets was so great
that the bottom sank enough to serious
ly affect the turret supports. The dock
officials say they have locked British
naval vessels much heavier than the
Indiana without trouble and they re-
gret the accident to the Indiana because
critics in the United States will be dis
posed to throw blame on them and ac-
cuse them of purposely trying to cripple
one of the best vessels in the American
navy.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
a New Remedy Which win Do 1t

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
many people to be nearly if not quite
1ncurab1e- No good reason can be Civ
en- why they think so except that per-
haps they have tried various remedies
without much, if any benefit. But the
progress in every branch of medicine
has been such that among other things
a lasting cure for indigestion in its
chronic form well as temporary has
been discovered and is now placed be-
fore the public strictly on it's merits as
permanent cure for all stomach trout
bles or difficulties with the digestive
organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in
tablet form to be easily taken
and also to preserve its good qualities
for an indefinite length of time
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms of indigestion
and in many cases where ordinary rem
edies failed to give even relief, Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that
it is prepared and intended for Dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles only. It
is not a cure-all like so many adver-
tised remedies, claiming to cure every
thing under he sun, but 1t is claimed
that it is a certain cure for Dyspepsia
and anyone suffering from any form of
indigestion cannot fail to get Derma-
nent relief and cure from its use
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
are of such nature that when the tab
lets are taken into the stomach they
digest the food no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not You get sustenance and strength
to mind and body by reason of the food
being properly digested and at the same
time the much abused stomach is allow
ed to rest and recuperate.
NotwE outstanding the great benefits to
be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. the price is but soc for full siz-
ed package and all druggists sell them

HEALTH-olvlNo BATHS.
Dips I'm Water Made Fragrant by
Flowers and Herbs.

Dips I'm Water Made Fragrant by
Flowers and Herbs.
For hardening and Strengthening the
muscles of neck, shoulders, arms and
limbs nothing is more efficacious than
a bath of flowers or herbs. Any woman
aspiring to resemble the heroine in
Daniel Deronda." who always emerged
from her bath looking 'sEke freshly
dipped swan" is becoming initiated in
the mysteries of these refreshing and
fragrant dips.
/, Rose leaves, crushed violets, hay flow
ers, oat straw, shave grass and pine
sprig-these form the foundation of
the flower or herb bath, and conse-
auently excursions to the garden, the
field or the hay. rack will be in order
in summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by cold shower and
q vigorous rubbing until arms and
neck shine like glistening marble, are
firm of texture and smooth as satin.
All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should
be poured upon bags of the different
blossoms or herbs, each bag contain
ing from one-haf to one pound of mate
rial and the whole allowed to boil for
ten minutes; the vessel is then taken
from the fire and allowed to partly
cool, when it is added to the prepared
bath.
!, Hay flowers consist of the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds, even
the hay itself. An oat-straw bath is
made by boiling the stalks and heads
of oats for one-half hour in a kettle and
then pouring the decoction into the
tub. Shave grass is prepared in the
same manner by boiling the stem, cone
and spore. Equisetum arvesne is the
botanical name of shave grass, which
is a medicinal herb of great value.
Taken internally in form of tea it
purifies the stomach; externally in the
bath it washes away and dissolves all
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance, in cases of
violent bleeding at the nose a decoc-
ton of shave grass drawn up into the
nostrils gives Immediate relief. A sup
ply of shave grass should be kept in
every home dispensary, that in time Of
need it may be quickly at hand.
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better, small
branches, even resinous pine cones, cut
them in bits, put into bag and boil for
one-ha1f hour. The chief effect of a
Pine-sprig bath is ON the skin, which is
brought into activity by it, and on the
blood vessels, which it strengthens.
Moreover, it is fragrant and delightful.
For the mixed bath herbs and flowers
of various kinds are used; this is in
case the due quantity of any one can
not be procured.
A word apropos of the duration of
such tubbings. A warm flower bath
may last one-quarter hour, followed by
a cold shower lasting possibly one
minute, mo longer. Flower and herb
baths may be taken two or three times
a week.-Eleanor Lexington, IN Amer
lean Queen.
