Mr.. George Briggs, Of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side Of his face
was SO badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter : Truth il stranger

George Briggs, Of Moore, Oklahoms,
writes that p. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him Of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit q teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had q consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. p. p. He says he il well and
will swear that there are no cases Of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic O. how old the
cases are, that p. p. P. viii! not make

placed a number of extra cars on the
Latimer line and doctors and clergy
men responded.
Amid the excitement the deputies
turned their attention to the wounded
and carried a Of them to places
where they could be more comfortably
treated.
Martin Roski, an intelligent Hun
from Mt. Pleasant, who was shot in
the arm, was seen by a. reporter on the
car coming over and gave this version
of the affair: 1--WE were going along
the road to Latimer and the deputies
were lined across the road, barring our
progress. We tried to go through them
and did not attempt to hit or modest
them when they fired upon us. We ran,
but they kept on shooting on us while

Citizens meetings were held in "a
rious parts Of the city tonight. Opin-
ion was divided about the responsible
ity of the shooting.
1t is estimated hat when the strikers
began marching on the Halle mines
they numbered about 200. Many of the
men at the Halle mines quit work and
joined in the march on the Latimer
mine. The body did not move with any
precision and traversed the highway
entirely, keeping off private property.
All along the TOdO tley seemed JuDlldnI
over their success at the Halle mines.
Harrisburg, Pa, September 10.-Gov-
ernor Hastings tonight ordered out the
Third brigade, Of which General Goblin
is commander, and instructed General
Schall to hold the First brigade in

Hazleton and are expected to be on

Wilkesbarre, Pa, September 10
Sheriff Martin arrived home on h Z

cool and collected. He was met at the
depot by his legal adviser. The two
got into a cab and drove to the court
house where they were closeted togeth-

refused to say anything, but finally
consented to talk. The sheriff was at

fair maintained for five years could
and would revolutionize the agricul-
tural aspect Of this entire section and
we stand ready to join hands with
Wilmington to make just such a fair a
living fact. What say you Whining
the six counties?"
The Messenger is pleased to take the
above from the columns Of The Truck
ers and Planters Journal and it is
gratifying to note the interest it takes
In the proposed fair here. 1t will show
SIR citizens what interest our neighbors
take in u city and its projects, and
it will go a long way to encourage them
in he efforts to get up a fair ~associa-
ton here.
oar contemporary makes some excel
lent suggestions, and among them is
one that there hOuld be a territorial
boundary for the fair, including New
Hanover, Brunswick. Columbus, Bla-
den, Pender and Onslow counties. We
dom know but that there are still
other counties that might be included
in the radius of a hundred and fifty
miles, say, for Wilmington's retail
trade alone extends in all directions at
least that far. At the meeting recently
held in the interest of the fair it was
proposed to ask the cooperation of the
counties in East Carolina, and We are
glad to note that so influential a paper
as The Truckers and Planters Journal
will lend it's nc in having an inter-
county feature made an object Of the
fair association. OF course, all counties
will be cheerfully admitted into the
association, and the more the merrier.
The Messenger commends a careful
perusal OF h article. above. as our cit
liens will find it very valuable and in.
teresting in several particulars.

Miss Willard and Mr.. Murphy will in
troduce novelty in the comedy pre-.
sented next Thursday night at the Grand
Opera House, in the new monkey act, as
It is called. Mr., Murphy was successful
in this act in London, two seasons ago,
and has introduced 1t here with great
success. Mr.. Murphy uses a complete
monkey dress and Is said to look the
"Mischlevous Monk" to perfection. Miss
Willard introduces the famous old
Banana" song, with the hand organ ac-
compartment, and the monk" presents
a specially entirely new to the theatre
goers. Throughout the comedy, the spec
ialties introduced are entirely new and
OF an attractive nature. The musical
numbers are bright, no done to death"
songs are sung; and the aim OF the COM
pany is to present an olio of novelties
interesting alike to men, women and
children. The pantomlme features in the
first and second acts. while pretty girls
handsome costumes and funny come
dams are interesting to all classes Of
theatre patrons, The engagement is fol
half week, with Saturday matinee.

OF the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth" and disappointment hal
never followed, so that the managers OF
the vast organization must find 1t ex-
tremely difficult to provide a practically
new entertainment, But that they have
provided a new one, with every act most
complete, better arranged and more ex-
citing than any Of somewhat similar
character In past seasons, the New York
Chicago anu other papers have declared
Wheeling will have an opportunity to
test these statements next Friday. This
great show will give two receptions II
the public, with Miss Johanna" as mis-!
tress Of ceremonies. The show will arr
rive from sistersvIlle over the Ohio Rivel
road early In the morning, and the large
number OF ardent devotees OF the ele'
plant and horse who delight In seeing
the circus unload from Its special trains
and set up under it's canvas home, VIII
be compelled to get up early In the morn
Ing.
The free street parade will leave the
grounds at O'clock, and will proceed
over the following route: Kentucky
street to North York, to South York. II
Virginia street to suspension bridge, II
Tenth street, to Market, to Fourteenth,
to Twenty-fourth, to Chapline, to TWEEN
tieth. to Market, to Tenth street, to
bridge, to Zane street, to grounds.
The performances will be given at 2
o'clock and O'Clock In the afternoon and
evening. But the man or woman who
waits for that hour before entering the
tents will lose large part OF the pleasure
prepared for visitors. The Barnum &
Bailey show gives, exclusive OF the CIRQUE
performances, as much as, or more than,
others do altogether. Johanna and thu
menagerie are we'll worth seeing, but
there Is still greater interest centerinri
In the group OF remarkable people-Petel
the 90 inch dwarf Ella Ewing, the foot
4 inch giantess, and the Orissa twins.
The clowns this year are said to be un.
usually good They include. among o
score, Peter Caban and Harry Went
worth. as well as Lizzie Scabert, The
woman clown. One OF the three groups
OF performing elephants is herd on
eight babies, which made their first APP
pearance in public last spring, though

Two principal matters that VIII be

selection of delegates to attend the an
nual meeting of the Ohio Valley I'm

day October II, in Evansville, Indiana.
There Is no difference Of opinion re-

To work at once In preparation for the
reunion, and II is likely this weeks

by Wheeling veterans as well as by
members OF the chamber OF commerce,

to Wheeling's untarnished record OF

that have gathered here.
The selection of delegates TO Evans
