beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
often ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney L Co, Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken inter.
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


jackson, Jan. Sword was received
here this morning from the Alcorn Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College tor
Colored People, near Rodney, That the
president of the college, f. II. Triplett'
was shot and fatally wounded last
evening while he vas on his way TO
church. He was shot in the back OY
the assassin with a 42-caliber revolver,
as shown by the bullet extracted from
his body.
State Superintendent of Education
Kincannon was Immediately notified OF
the shooting, and he was requested to
send the bloodhounds stationed ut the
Oakley farm.
There is no clew to the assassin. The
shooting was done on the college
grounds. as the church is located within
a stones throw of the college building.
For the last two years there has been
a great deal of discord in the faculty,
and Triplett and the professors under
him have not gotten ON tremendously.
The trouble has been caused by some
ambitious members of the faculty, who
have been trying to GUST Triplett and
get the presidency for themselves, but
the State board Of education has re-
fused to remove him because they con-
sidered that he was the man for the
place. In the faculty troubles and the
bitterness there engendered, it is pos
sible that a clew may be found to the
killing.
Triplett was for ten years principal
of the negro graded school at Meridian,
and there was universally esteemed by
whites and blacks. He is a nan of
much sense and Judgment.
The latest report from Rodney is that
Triplett is m%omentarily expected to die.
