The people of Richmond are dis
corning. They do not allow the
wool to be pulled over their eyes
by blatant talk and clustering
statements. 1t is not sufficient to
spout forth all nonsensical argu-
ments that cannot really hold wa
ter. Demonstration is THE CRY
NOW Ocular at that This is
exactly why the Sovereign Rem
edy Company IS now in Richmond
appealing to the intelligence and
common sense of the inhabitants.
If you are sick and need a med
icine you naturally wish to try
one that is al honest preparation,
which you can anaIyze; in fact, if
necessary, YOU would like to know
what you are taking. This is what
we offer you. There is no appeal
to Faith. and Charlatanism. When
you are asked to believe that YOU
can swallow the whole contentsof
a bottle of Faith pellets and posi-
lively do YOU no harm: still they
keep at YOU ding-dOng that not,
withstanding their harmlessness
they viii cure you. CURE YOU
OF WHAT? This is the great
question for the people of Rich
mond to decide. We leave it to
their intelligence, confident that
when both sides are weighed that
they will without hesitation Use
remedies that can be analyzed and
where Faith is absolutely not es-
scntial.
They have been tested with the
most phenomenal success tor many
years, and in introducing them to
the people of Richmond we hope
to inspire the same confidence as
to their value, efficacy and purity
as they have and are enjoying in
other parts Of America and Greet
Britain, Ireland, and the British
Colonies.

The SOVEREIGN REMEDIES

The SOVEREIGN REMEDIES
are guaranteed absolutely free
from any alcoholic and mineral
substances. They are packed IN

The Sovereign Remedies are
NOT A SECRET PREPARA-

cation.
Another vital question that you
should consider is, Does Homeop-

a well-known fact that if the Pei

Everybody in this free country

A NEW DISTRICT ENGINEER.
Captain CraiGhiII Chosen to Assist
Commissioner Beach.


The Secretary of War yesterday assigned
Capt. William E. Craighill, Corps of Engi-
neers, to duty as assistant to Capt Lansing
H. Beach, Engineer Commissioner of the
District.
Under the law the Engineer Commits
sioner OF the District is entitled to three
assistants, but the full number has never
been supplied except temporarily during
the incumbency of Major Powell Since
Captain Beach was made Engineer Com
missioner he has been without an assist
ant When Major Black was Engineer
Commissioner he had two assistants in
Captains Burr and Beach.
Captain Craighill has an excellent record
as an army engineer. He is the son of
Gen. William p. Craighill, who was Chief
Of Engineers before General Wilson. He
was born in Maryland, but claims West
Virginia as his home. He was appointed
10 West Point in September, 1881, and
graduated in 1883, being second in his class
Captain Craighill was assigned TO the En-
gineer Corps of the army, and was with
the baitlaion engineers at Willett's Point,
New York, from October, 1885, to July,
1883.
He afterward served with General Poe
at Detroit, with Col. G. Craighill at Balti-
more, and Major Allen at st. Paul. In 1890
he was assigned TO temporary duty at
Mammoth Hot Springs. Ark. in connection
with the improvement of the Yellowstone
National Park. He was assistant to Capt.
r. Price at Montgomery, Ala, from June,
1891, 10 November, 1893, and was assistant
TO Lieutenant Colonel Roberts, in charge
of engineering works at New York in No
vember, 1888. In March, 1897, he was de-
tailed TO Wilmington. N. c., to take charge
OF the Notifications and river and harbor
work at that place. He was at that sta

LandIndy,s Brother.

Marshall Mccoy, a well-dressed man
about fifty years of age, was arragned in
the Police Court yesterday charged with
having made threats of personal violence
against Edward Richards. commercial
traveller. Richards stated that last night
while preparing TO retire Mccoy rushed
into his room and told him TO leave the
house Immediately, and threatened to kill
him unless he complied with the request.
So boisterous was the infuriated man, the
complainant said, that many of those oc-
cupying rooms in the house were awak-
ened and ran into the street terror
stricken. Richards further stated that
Mccoy constantly behaves in this manner,
and that his sister, who conducts the board
ing house, is afraid of him, and that his
annoyance to the boarders is unbearable.-
The judge asked the prosecuting witness
il McCoy's personal bonds to leave the city
would be satisfactorily to all parties. Rich
ards said that he did not believe the prIs-
oner would leave the city. A real estate
bond of $50 or sixty days in Jail was the
sentence.
