Bowen Mcclure and william Kitchens,

their lives by the accidental falling of a
wall at the new Austen building this

eral cuts and bruises from the fragments
of the debris, and win be laid up for sew
eral days. The wall that fell was a fire
brick partition which had become defec-

it. The three men were working near
the wall, and narrowly escaped being
caught directly under it. If they had been
thus caught they would have been killed.
They saw the lettering mass, however.

make their escape from all but the frag-
ments.

Using with a great deal of gusto.
There is no use denying it, the Barnes
has the handsomest lines and is the
sWiftest bicycle before the American pub
lie. If it was not, so why then would
L. a. Callahan and other riders adopt it?
Bald, who is the fastest man astride a
wheel in this country to-day has SIGN
ED AGAIN with the Barnes Cycle Com
pany and why? Because he considers the
BARNES THE VERY BEST. Every
concern was after him.
THE FAMOUS REMINGTON is the
bicycle that every body buys We say oV-
erybody because when people who are not
partial to any particular make desire a.
wheel one of their first thoughts is of the
Remington, and why? Because they
know that everything that is Remington
is first-class. The name Remington was
known long before bicycles were thought
of, and when the Remington Arms Co
decided to build a bicycle they had far
more to lose than gain, and hence we
claim the Remington is a perfect bicycle
in every respect. Look at it and acknowl-
edge it.
Our EAGLE BICYCLE at 500, $75 and
$50 we cannot say too much about. why
the $50 Eagle is better than tWo-thirds of
all the other bicycles we know of at 800. -
This seems like great talk, but we are
perfectly willing to place either the ladies'
Eagle or the gents Eagle at $50 alongside
of almost, yes, we say any other bicycle
at 500, excepting our Barnes, Remington
and Ide. Everybody knows the Eagle in
Savannah and likes it.
We won't say anything about the IDE
HIGH ART, as we cannot find words to-
describe it, but we invite a comparison of
other wheels to the High Art Ide, and we
are willing to await the decision of Sa~
vannah's most criticising wheel public.

Hon. Charles w. Jones, formerly
United States senator from Florida,
died in Detroit last week in the insane
asylum, where he has been confined
for many years, or since his Florida
term expired. His remains were
brought to Pensacola for interment.
Senator Jones, during the time Of his
sound mentality, was considered one
of the ablest men from the South in
the United States sena tie, and his en-
ergy and influence secured recogni-
ton for this State in many import
ant matters. Just preceding the ex~
piration of his term he went to De-
troit, where he became wildly infatu>
ated with a Miss Palms, who, how
ever, was displeased with the atten-
tions OIL the senator, which developed
into a persecution. Senator Jones was
at this time undoubtedly Of unsound
mind, and to develop this fact only
required very few weeks.

The workman often eats his lunch
on the same bench where he does his
work. The office man turns his desk
into a dining table. Neither gets the
out of doors exercise he needs, neither
takes the proper time for eating. 1t
is small wonder that the digestion of
both gets out of order. In such cases
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets come to
their assistance by aiding nature in
taking care of the food.
The cause of -tenths of the
sickness of the world is constipation.
From this one cause come indigestion;
disorders Of the stomach, liver and
kidneys; biliousness, headaches, fiat
ulence, heartburn, impurity of the
blood and the serious complication
that follow. To begin with, constipa-
ton is little thing, and little thing
will cure it. The pleasant Pellets
are tiny, sugar-coated granules. They
will perfectly cure the worst case of
constipation and indigestion. If the
druggist tries to sell you some other
pill that pays him greater profit, just
think of what will best pay you.

The southern half of Florida has
wonderful possibilities in store for it,
not only relating to fibres, but to SUI
gar cane and semi-tropical fruits, says
Assistant Secretary Willet. The pro-
duction Of fbres is not the least of it's
possibilities. Even if the fibre inquiry
should proceed no further, sufficient
data have been collected to warrant
us in the belief that experience and
appropriate legislation will save to
the country many millions of dollars
expended in the purchase of commod-
tiles and materials abroad which
might be produced at home.-EX.
The Ocklawaha, once the most pic
turesque stream in Florida, is being
rapidly denuded of it's forests of ma
jestic cypress trees. Not less than a
dozen pulling machines are stationed
along it's course drawing into the wa
ter from 40 to rs logs each daily.
These machines extend their cables
from the river to the hills on either
side, and do not leave a cypress tree
standing. When the timber is ex-
hausted at one point they move up or
down the stream to new fields. 1t is
only matter of a few years when
there will not be a cypress tree left
upon the whole length of the river
