CAUGHT A CORPSE.
Fishermen Make n GhostIy Find in
the River at Augusta.

Ant AukuAtH.
Augusta, Ca, May 2O.-Bob McCook. the
man whose wife wrote from Bath, s. c.,
to the Atlanta police, inqulring about the
naked man who had been seen in Grant
park, has been located. He mysteriously
disappeared a week or so ago, and when
Mrs. McCook read about the man who was
startling people in Atlanta by appearing
in the woods without clothing, she thought
possible it was her lost husband, who was
somewhat unbalanced at times.
But Atlanta's naked man is not Bob
McCook. To-day, while George Shinall
and Jim Tice We're drawing in their net in
the river, thinking they had a heavy
catch, they We're shocked to find in their
net the swollen body of a drowned man.
They We're fishing in the river opposite
the city, and tOwed the body to the bank
on the Augusta side. at the foot of Camp
bell street, and notified the coroner The
body was identified as THAT of Bob Nc
Cook. and the verdict was accidental
drowning. He probably got drunk in Au-
gusta, and when he was going TO his
Carolina home, five miles distant, proba-
bly, missed the bridge and walked into the
river

NEGRO SUES THE SOUTHERN.
He Was Put on a Train After Trying
to Have His Ticket Stamped


Atlanta. Ga, May 2O-Rev. Lee N. Rob-
nson OF Palatka. Fla. a colored divine,
and somewhat OF a politician, is the cen
trail figure in 200 damage suit in the
city court to-day. Robinson IS suing the
Southern railway because. in 1886. during
the exposition. the validating agent re-
fused to stamp his ticket, ana, as a conse-
quence, the clergyman was put of the
train when he started home.
In addition TO being a minister of the
gospel, Robinson testified that he was an
alderman Of Palatka. On Sept. q, 1885,
the plaintiff purchased at PaIatka a round
trip ticket to Atlanta. He came here to
attend the national Baptist convention.
After spending several days here he went
to the validating office and asked to have
his ticket validated. He was unable to
identify himself to the satisfaction of the
agent and was. consequently turned
down. Subsequently he was put off his
train and forced to walk some distance,
carrying his heavy packages. Robinson
alleges that he was the person who
bought the ticket at Palatka and that the
agent should not have refused to vail
date his ticket The railway company
alleges that Robinson was at faultNfh not
identifying himself at the validating
office, and claims there Is no liability.

THE GREATEST WHEELS IN sAvAN-
NAH.

If the REMINGTON is not the best
and strongest bicycle for ALL AROUND
HARD WORK and SERVICE why
should the Police Commission of Savan-
nah select 1t above all other machines?
So much for the Remington. The above
facts alone proves its staunchness and
reliability. Price S1OO of course.
The Heating Bicycle is without any
question whatever the most wonderful
American bicycle for combined LIGHT
WEIGHT and DURABILITY. The curve
peculiar to the Heating enable the build
ers to produce the lightest guaranteed
bicycle in existence, and yet be remarka-
bly, strong. The reason other wheels are
not as light is because they cannot use
the curved frame, and that is the secret
of the Heating light weight. Price $65
and $1OO.
The Barnes and Eagles are so well
known that comments are entirely I'M
necessary. Everybody knows them.
Barnes are SIS and 500; Eagles $50, SIS
and 500.
The Ide wheel is exceptionally well
made and a very handsome machine. It
has several distinctive features. very
prominent being the crescent shaped or
elliptical pedal cranks. This wheel stands
unquestiOnably very high in the west. It
was recently classed as Americas most
valuable bicycle by the Chicago Board of
Trade-a very high compliment to the
Ide, considering how many wheels there
are made in the west.

How the Weight May Be Increased
in a HeaIthfuI Natural Manner.
All people who are thin are not necessari-
ly so from disease, it Is natural for some
70 be thin. and no amount Of treatment
would add an iota 20 their weight, but
the great majority OF people are thin be-
cause their digestion is not perfect, their
stomaehs do not thoroughly digest flesh
forming foods. they may not have chronic
dyspepsia, but their digestion is not Wig
orous enough TO assimilate the food nee
essary for robust health and to keep up
their weight
For all such, the new discovery for dys-
pesia and indiges ton comes as most well
come addition to the list of meritorious
remedies. The new discovery referred to
IS Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is not
only a pleasant and certain cure for indi-
gestion, but possesses the peculiar power
OF dlgesting hesh-forming foods, like meat,
eggs and similar ordinary foods, SO that
the increase in weight is a perfectly nat
ural process. one grain Of the digestive
principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
.vsllI digest 5000 grains of fesh-forming
1000. DR.. JennisOn recently stated that he
depends altogether upon these tablets for
the cure of dyspepsia and stomach troubles
and that they not only cure the indiges-
ton, but in every case gratifying in
crease in weight was noticed, not fat,
but the proper amount of flesh for health
and symmetry. DR.. Harlandson speaks
highly Of the tablets, not only because they
build up flesh and cure indigestion, but
they are absolutely safe and harmless, no
matter what the condition of the stomach
and are excellent not only for the ordinary
dyspeptic, but for invalids and children.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
all druggists at soc. per package and trial
