AN OLD MOSAIC.
Unearthed by a Party of Soldiers In
Tunis.

cheai'heu ny Ehrty or soldiers IN
Tunis.
After Italy and Provence there Is no
country where Rome has left more
monuments in every state of preserva-
ton of decay than in Tunis, says the
London Daily News. The largest
Roman circus after the Coliseum is
El-Djem, Aries renking next and Mines
coming fourth. At a recent sitting of
the Academy of Inscriptions in Paris
NJ. Bolster, our correspondent says,
gave an account of remarkable
Roman discovery at Susa, in Tunis.
The French, who, unlike the English
in Egypt, have settled down in Tunis
for good, have got camp at that sea-
port which is "a mine of mosaics,"
where fresh discoveries are made every
year. The other day party of soldiers
digging foundations unearthed a mo-
sale with three human figures in per-
feet state of preservation, covered with
only a few inches of soil. Il is only
three and one-half feet square, but the
subject, Virgil Writing the Aeneid,"
will interest all. There is front view
of the poet loosely draped in the folds
of white toga with blue fringe, sit
ting with his feet in sandals resting on
step. He holds on his knees a
papyrus roll on which is written in
cursive letters one of the verses of his
poem. With his right hand on his
breast, the forefr ger pointing upward,
his head erect in an inspired attitude,
he listens to Clio and Melpomene, who,
standing behind, dictate his cantos.

ARRESTED HERE
Was John Nelson, of Fulton-Wanted
for Jail-Breaking in the Gala
way Kingdom Capitol.

This morning Sheriff Nelson and
Marshal Lane arrested John Nelson,
OF Fulton, Mo. He was stopping at
the home of John Rodgers.
Nelson shot and slightly wounded a
man named Bryson at Portland, Cal
Iaway county, on August 8, 1896. He
was arrested and was held to await
the action of the Grand Jury. About
Nov. 1, of the same year, o negro
named Coleman, who was charged
with stabbing a man, cut through the
slate roof of the jail and made their
escape. Coleman vas recaptured In
a short time, but Nelson could not be
located until he was arrested here
Tuesday.
In a conversation with a LEDGER
reporter that morning, Nelson said
that he did not know an escape was
to be made until the hole was cut. He
said that he went south to Louisiana,
where he remained until about three
weeks ago, when he returned to CAL
laway county.
The Galloway officers did not know
it, as he stayed in the country. He
went from there to "Little louisiana
Mo-, and came to Mexico Sunday
night and vas going to cut wood with
John Rodgers.
Collector w. H. Windsor, who was
sheriff of Galloway at the time of the
escape, arrived on the II o'clock train
from Fulton and returned on the 2:15
train with his prisoner.

hood quite distinct from the women
of other countries. It has become an
everyday occurance for the nobility
and royal blood of Europe to cross the
water in search of an American beau
ty; for the United States has become
famous throughout the world. The
American beauty is a peculiar prod
uct of this country. She has how
ever, one formidable enemy, not on
ly to her beauty, but to her health, as
well. That enemy is Indigenous to
the climate and soil of the United
States. 1t is called Catarrh. Almost
every woman has it in mild or severe
forms. Our climate makes it we'll
nigh unavoidable. 1t is the only nat
ural enemy the American woman has.
Not only is the United States the
home of catarrh, but it is also the
home of the now world-famons
catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na. The med
ical profession has at last succeeded
in devising a remedy for the we'll
nigh universal disease.
DIR. Hartman, the original COM
FOUNDER of Pe-ru-na, has a receipt

will send free to any address for a

protracted Meeting

A much larger congregation was at
the ME- ChurchTuesday night than at
any previous meeting. There was a
good representation from the various
denominations. This is a hopeful
feature of the movement. The M. e.
church people are not by any means
exclusive, either in word or action,
but are DESTROYS that all shall feel at
home and be alike benefited. The
sermon was from Psalms Al and was
intended to contrast the Joys of the
worldly man with those of the Cody.
The speaker said he did not deny but
that men of the world had enjoyment,
and further, that God intended that
men should have joy and happiness,
but that the man who walked and
talked with God obediently, had a joy
far superior to that of the man who
was living a life of sin and rebellion
against God and his laws. The speaker
spoke of several sources from which
worldly enjoyment came, and showed
that while they gave joy to the man,
yet there were Joys superior. The
testimony of all Cody people of all
ages would corroborate that fact.
The speaker said he was not there to
lessen the happiness of any man,
woman, young miss or boy, but to try
to show all that there was a higher
and more lasting joy than that which
came from worldly sources. He then,
in a very earnest manner, strove to
induce all to seek the higher joy that
was in reserve for each and all of
them. We are persuaded that all
knew and felt the truthfulness of the
position and argument. The speaker,
though evidently much In earnest to
enforce his theme upon the accept
ance of his attentive hearers, said he
would not trespass upon their good
| order and held them to a late hour.
| He permitted all DESTROYS of leaving
to go about $3.50, requesting religious
people to remain a few moments.
About three fourths of the congre-
cation remained and had prayer, ex-
hortation and songs. If we are a
Judge of such exercises, there can be
no mistake but that a spirit of genu-
inc revival of religion is working
among the churches and people. W.
say let the good work 60 on. 1t will
do good and no harm. Better for our
people to be Cody than worldly, sell
fish and devilish az many are when
neglecting these things. The meet
tngs go on twice a day.
