LOOKS AS IF THE INSANITY PLEA

Atlanta, Ca, Feb IA mob made a
rush for Edward c. Flanagan at the
railroad station at Decatur tonight after
the trial. Sheriff Austin had started to
bring his prisoner into Atlanta, fearing to
keep him in the DeKalb county Jail. For
three days there has been talk of lynch
ing Flanagan and this morning his coun-
sci, w. G. Glenn, asked for mistrial,
stating that it was impossible to get a
fair trial on account of public sentiment.
Judge Gambler refused the request and
stated that he and the sheriff would pro-
tect the prisoner. The Judge did not
think there was a disposition to lynch
Flanagan. The people of DeKalb, how
ever, are indignant at the prospect of
Flanagan escaping the gallows on the
plea of insanity.
All day there were mutterings in and
around the court and when the sheriff
left the building he was followed by fifty
men. He found as many more at the
depot. The sheriff was lot unprepared,
however, and when the crowd began to
move in on him he and his deputies sur
rounded the prisoner and with drawn
pistols threatened to shoot whoever at
tempted to lay hands on Flanagan. The
show of resistance cowed the mob and
the sheriff stepped on a train in a few
minutes and brought his man to Atlanta
for the night.
Nearly all the evidence today was de-
voted to an explanation on certain
phases Of insanity.
Dr. Pinckney stated that he believed
from an examination of Flanagan that
he is insane and not mentally fit to be
tried for murder. The physician declared
that In his opinion Flanagan could not
give his counsel any assistance in the
trial. DR. Bizzell gave similar testi-
mony. He, too, had examined the pris-
oner and had tested him. He pronounced
Flanagan hopelessly insane. Flanagan
has a delusion, believing that he has
enemies who are after him and are try
ing to kill him for his money.
The case will be resumed tomorrow.

Montgomery Feb. 17.-(Special.)-It de-
veloped today for the first time that the
anti-cigarette bill had been smothered to
death in the senate yesterday. In mo-
ment of abstraction in that body yester-
day afternoon an opponent of the meas
ure, it is not recorded whom, arose and
moved to refer the anti-cigarette bill,
denoting it by number only, it is said,
from the calendar to the judiciary COM
mittee for examination as to its consti-
tutionality. The members were worn
out and weary and without demurrer
voted to commit the bill as indicated.
No meeting of the assembly was held
today, and the bill could not therefore be
reported back for second hearing until
tomorrow, and as that will be the last
day of the session it cannot progress any
further. The bill as passed by the house
was approved by the governor and but
for it's having been set back one day on
yesterday would have passed the senate
tomorrow with only three negative votes
against it, 1t is stated. Dr. Cameron, au-
thor cf the BILL worked industriously in
its behalf, and was astonished today
when he learned of its defeat.
The clerks have been hard at work en-
rolling bills today, and will be up with
their work when the assembly meets to-
morrow.

Canton, o., Feb. 17.-Maj. Mckinley is

Maj. Mckinley will recover his usual fine
health by the first of next week if he

few for whom he sends.
Mr.. Hanna returned to Cleveland this
afternoon. He came to make friendly
call upon Maj. Mckinley and to ask
about his health
Mr.. Hanna has recovered his own
health and is in fine condition again. The
feeling in Ohio is that he will be appoint
ed to success Senator Sherman.
Gen. w. w. Dudley called at noon to
speak with the president-elect, and Mr..
Hanna about selecting an escort to ac-
company Maj. Mckinley from the depot
in Washington to his hotel. There will
probably be no military escort.

DURING
The VACATION
SEASON
Doctor Mccoy Gives the
Uniform Rate Of So a
Month Till Cured.
This Applies to All Patients
and All Diseases.

Only during the summer could Doctor
McCoy possibly make the rate OF 30
month, covering Deafness and all DIS
eases Since the establishment OF his ma
tonaI practice in Washington his patients
have so constantly grown In number that
he has often seriously considered the ad-
rIsabilty OF limiting their number and
raising his fees-chargmg a fee somewhat
IN proportion TO the service rendered
The only reasons which enable
Doctor Mccoy TO give the S3 rate
for the summer months are:
First. because it is tie vacation
season, the season when so many OF
his regular patients ire out OF towl
aud,
Second, because one months trea =
tneDt in summer, when nature in
every way aids the physician, Is
worth two months OF most careful
treatment during the severe
weather of Fail, Winter and Spring.
Doctor McCoy never departs from his
rule or giving TO each patient-neyer mind
how smallthe Zee paid, never mind whatthe
disease-uhe same careful examination and
treatment that negiyes TO any nyotherpanentl
All are treated anKe throughout the course.
FOR THIS reason, as can be readily under
stood, there is a limit to the number or
patients whom Doctor McCoy can treat at
any gwen Tune.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, u receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways The first way
is from imperfect action OF the kidneys.
The second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the Chief cause o 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 therefore any
in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
rassage is often, 10y mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of some
sort The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the eXtraor-
binary eff feet of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney and bladder remedy, is
soon realized If you need a medicine
