Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overfows 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 a 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 II. G. 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 a 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.

RUSSELL WILL RUN NO MORE.
The Burglar With a sprinting Record at
Last Behind the Bars.

Will Russell, the negro thief who has
so long been wanted by the officers, and
who has led them so many lively races
in which his superior sprinting qualities
were demonstrated, is at last behind the
bars.
Sheriff Christie located Russell on Mr..
T. K. Cobb's farm several miles from the
city, and last tuesday evening, accom-
panied by Deputy Slade and ex-Bailiff
Lewis, went out to capture him. Just
after night Russell was surrounded in a
Louise by the officers and was taken by
them before he could get his legs into
play.
Russell is under indictment by the
grand Jury for burglary, he having broken
into Hart & Cos. shop several months
ago and stole some clothing that belong
ed to Mr.. Steve Deubler.

KELLY HAD A CLEAR FIELD
ONLY CANDIDATE IN THE THIRD
DISTRICT SATURDAY.
The Other Candidates Retired After
Learning of the Attorney
eraES Opinion.

The justice of the peace election in the
Third district was much quieter affair
than it at one time promised to be.
When the polls opened Saturday morn
ing Mr.. J. II. Kelly was the only candi-
date in the field, and he received a prac-
tically solid and very complimentary
vote. There were 10 votes polled, and
of these II were for Mr. Kelly and 2 for
Mr.. Jordan. Messrs. Jordan, Roby and
Query all retired from the contest last
week after reading in THE News that it
was the opinion of Attorney General
Terrell that the law made no provision
for special election where an election
was not held at the regular time, and
that in such cases the incumbent would
hOld over for another term.
Ordinary Roberts sent the returns to
Atlanta Monday, and Mr.. Kelly is ex-
pecting his commission. On the other
hand, Judge Roby, the present incum-
bent, expects, under the opinion of the
attorney general, to keep the scales of
justice balanced in the Third district for
the next four years.

BOLD THEFTS,
Harness Stolen from Mules in the City Sat-
urdaV.

Harness Stolen from Mules in the City Sat-
urdav.
The boldest stealing that has occurred
IN this community happened last Satur
day v hen the sheets were alive with
people. A great many farmers hitch
their horses and mules in the old court
house yard in the rear of Roberts &
Hatcher's store, one of the most public
places i'll the city.
When they came to town Saturday
Messrs. D. F. Watson and o. S. Pace
stopped their teams there, and while
they were about the city transacting
their business some thief succeeded in
removing the harness from their mules
and getting away undetected. Mr.. j..
I. Johnston also narrowly missed losing
his harness at the same place, as when
he went to hitch up to 60 home he found
them unbuckled and ready-to be taken
from his mule. The thief was doubtless
in the act Of stealing them when he saw
Nj Johnston coming and decamped.
There is no clue as to who this bold
thief is, but if he keeps up his work it is
safe to say that he will soon fall into the
clutches of the officers.

by the Rear Door.
Davis q Dozier's large dry GOODS
establishment was visited by bur-
glars Saturday night and robbed OF
81 in cash, three coats, three pairs of
pants, one pair of shoes, three hats
and several shirts
The robbery is supposed to have
been committed after three o'clock in
the morning, but was not discovered
until seven.
The thieves entered the building
through the rear door by boring out
a hole for the arm to reach through
and raise the wooden bar which was
used as fastening.
The burglars were bold and evident
ly had their work well planned, Dor
ing the hole in a manner which indi-
Gated that they knew the location Of
the bar. The money stolen was taken
from drawer near the safe, which
had been left there through an over
sight. The safe was not molested.
The goods were stolen from the right
hand show window which was made
bright by the street lights, and the
burglars seemed to have selected just
what they wanted.
In return for what they had stolen
the thieves left an old rusty chop axe,
small bit and a sack containing
about a pound of cheese and several
sweet potatoes.
There is not the slightest clue to
tasten the robbery upon any one, but
the officers, who are ever vigilant, are
on the lookout, and it may be that
The News will publish next week
an account OF the capture OF the
thieves.
