ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed while the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in counter
acting and freeing the system from the
malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion,
Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Soc and $1O0 per bottle at any

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind

Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overhows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what cOmbi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to III. @. Olds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use Of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

Miss Lula Cutchin sought refuge today
in death. With her own hand she admin
istered the deadly drug which sent her
soul to eternity at o'clock yesterday

Around her death couch were father
mother two sisters, and a few intimate

morrow from the Main Street Methodist

Der and in whose choir she was the lead

Aroused by heavy breathing Miss Mar
garet Cutchin. who slept III the same
apartment with her sister discovered hel
condition. and DR.. John f. Phillips was
quickly summoned. A hasty diagnosis
showed at once that the case was hope
less. Owing to complex symptoms and
the profound lethal state into which Miss
Cutchin had sunk the doctor cannot
name the drug used. The bottle had been
hidden or destroyed before the effect was
felt. An old cOlored servant, named John
INihemeyer. says he bought the drug and
gave it to Miss Cutchin secretly.
Today's tragedy had its origin in love.
A pretty child was born on August 5,
but soon died. Since then the life of the
young lady has been made miserable by
gossipers. Scandal ran rife, and the very
social fabric of the town was rent with
dark rumors Two prominent citizens
were mentioned in connection with the
affair.
For many days the girl was silent, but
n few nights before her death she ex-
onerated one and incriminated the other
in a statement to her father. The man
alleged to be guilty has been getting affi-
davits to prove his innocence, now that
the mouth of the chief witness is sealed
forever. The deceased belonged to a fam
lily of the highest responsibility A sad
gloom pervades the town tonight.

THE MORAL OF THE OUTRAGEs

1t is fully apparent that the epidemic
of negro outrages has deeply stirred the
race instinct of the whites throughout
the land.
The moral for the whites is that they
must combine to keep the negro party
out of power hereafter; and for the
negroes, that their leaders must take
efficient steps to control their humber
followers, or be prepared to see the
country unite in restricting the suffra &c

The Situation in India Said to be Not
as Bad as 1t Has Been Pictured,
Although Bad Enough

London. January 24.-The special
representative Of the Associated Press.
VINO is travelling through the famine
districts in India, accompanying the
governments party of inspection, sends
a dispatch to-day from Kolhapur.
He says that the reports which have
been sent to England and the United
States Of the acute famine said TO eX-
isr i'm the southern Maharashtra states,
have been exaggerated, so far as his
observation has extended. \ scarcity
of grain does. indeed, prevail in the
extreme eastern portion OF this region,
but the people there were able 10 es-
cape want by migrating, most of them,
To the fertile KancOn Plains and else
where. where the shortness of the grain
supply is not felt.
Rice also is plentiful and means and
measures for the relief OF the hungry
are pronounced adequate where need
ed.
The Maharajah, in an interview with
the Associated Press representative on
the prospects of his people escaping
starvation. said that his state expected
famine every five years ana were there
fore. not taken unaWares or unprOvided
for. when il came. They were prepar-
ed. he said, TO spend five lacs of rupees
for relief in his territory.
The British resident was also inter
viewed and confirmed the statements
of the Maharajah as to the situation,
adding that the relief organization was
most efficient in the Bombay presi-
dency. and that the difficulties trom
famine and of secutng and distribute
ing relief were lighter than in former
famines. The resident summed up his
views as follows:
My observation has been, in travel
ling over the whole western side, that
the famine is not severe there, though
it NAV increase towards June. But in
the districts i'm which | have travelled,
I have not heard of a single death from
starvation.
THE weekly official report from the
Governor General. Lord Elgin, of the
famine outlook in India. says that from
two To three inches of rain have fallen

tricts. and light showers elsewhere.
There is a slight fall in the prices in
the northern Punjab while elsewhere
they are stationary.
