Rare presence of mind probably
saved the life Mrs. Flora Jennison,
Clear Greek, Idaho. She was out in q
huckleberry patch, when she ran acress
bear with cubs. The mother bear,
with vicious snarl. mado for. her.
Like flash Mrs. Jennison tore of her
skirt and slung it over the bear head.
While the enraged bear was tearing the
garment to pieces in an effort to
extricate itself the woman aed down
the hill to the CAMP. Some Of the
men, hearing her screams. started out
with their guns and met her. 4 They
killed the bear and captured the cubs,
which Mrs. Jennison is now raising on
q bottle.
- The Mennonites, religious COL
ony in Pennsylvania, whose religious
conference recently interdicted the
use of tobacco, in any form, do not
propose to let this prohibition inter
fere with their worldly affairs. The
farmers Of the colony keep right on
planting tobacco, getting around it by
saying that if their industry is so
displeasing to the Lord the tobacco
will not grow. The outlook at present
is for bountiful crop.

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized liviag things, whether be-

of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated

distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until 1t becomes thin, weak and lacking in

health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis

We hold that both w. A. Neal and
J. B. Watson are liable for the con-
vict hire for convicts to be worked on
Meals plantation for the years 1896,
1897 and 1898, for the reason that
Watson contracted to pay for them
AID Neal got the benefit Of the labor,
and violated his duty in procuring
them to be worked for his benefit and
deceiving the board Of directors.
Their labor was an asset Of the peni-
tentiary as much as the products of
the labor on the State farm, and he
cannot take either and refuse to pay
for it. A conversion of one Is the
same as conversion Of the other.
We also condemn the practice ce
the superiptendent's endorsing paper

ing the credit Of the penitentiary
without express authority from the
board Of directors in each instance.
We especially condemn Mr.. Meals
action for endorsing an $3.50 note

penitentiary borrow that amount of
money merely for Watson's accommo-
dation. We also condemn its use in

Former Executive of Georgia Sue
cumbs After Brief Illness.
NEWMAN, Ca, Aug. 8.-Former Gov.
w. Y. Atkinson died at his residence at
1852 this morning. He had been i'll for
ten days, and his physicians gave no hope
Tor his recovery ten days ago.
Gov. Atkinson was one of the leaders
OF the Democratic party in this state.
He was elected governor in 1894, at the
age of 80, after having served six years
in the house Of representatives, being
speaker Of that body for several ses-
sions. In his first gubernatorial race he
defeated Gen. Clement A. Evans, noted
confederate, and in this campaign he
broke down the prestige confederate vet
Grams previously had for obtaining public
favor. His second race was against Sea
born Wright, a combination Populist and
Prohibition candidate. During the Span
ish-American war, Gov. Atkinson took
great interest in the organization of the
volunteer regiments for service, and OBJ
tanned many concessions from Washing
toa for the Georgia soldiers Since the
expiration of his last term as governor
he has been engaged in the practice of law
in this county.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The stock mar
ket was dull affair for the greater part
of today, drifting aimlessly within a mar
row range. Some strength was shown by
a few isolated stocks throughout the day,
under influence which was not disclosed
by any published news. This persistent
strength in some spots appeared to arouse
the apprehension of the bears in the last
hour of the market. The manner in
which prices were marked UP in the late
dealings Indicated good deal of g. scram-
Bile by the shorts to cover their contracts
and awakened an appearance of greater
animation and strength than has been
seen In the market for some time.
The higher prices for Americans made
in London were without much effect and
they were for the most part nominal,
and London sold from $4,000 to $1,000
shares here after the opening. Strength
kept cropping ct new points as the day
progressed. There was early strength in
Anaconda and a few of the specialties,
but a period of reaction followed under
realizing in Tobacco and Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf. Then the Minneapolis
and st. Louis stocks rose 3Q6A respective
ly. There was a lat5 movement in the
Coalers which lifted them l to " with
a notable effect on the whole last. Other
stocks showing notable gains were Con-
sOlidated Gas, AZ, and Pacific Coast pfd.,
pies Gas, Brooklyn Transit, Steel &
Wire, American Linseed Oil preferred
and few less prominent stocks advanced
point A very strong upward movement
in Sugar from 1885 to 1924 was the de-
cisiVe influence in the late strength of
the market, which closed active and
strong at net gains in nearly all cases.
The tone of the money market was
called rather easier, though rates were
not quotably changed. The hardening
tendency Of London discounts still con-
tinued, but the money rate at Berlin was
a fraction lower and sterling exchange
there advanced showing relaxation OF the
