His health had greatly improved since then, and during his recent stay at Asheville and other points in North Carolina he had gained fifteen pounds. An exceedingly cheerful and en- courag.ng letter from him was received by his brother this morning shortly before the receipt of the telegram, so that hls relatives and friends were entirely unprepared for his death. His mother and two brothers Of this place and many other relatives in Me ridian survive him.
 MT, Rosenbaum was a young man, still in his early thirties. He has been here fer
  brothers built up the business of his house which deals in merchandise both wholesale and retail till it ranks among the pest money making establishments of the v nd in the state Much of it's growth is due to the splendid business judgment and ability of MT. Rosenbaum. His death Is deeply regretted here where he was universally respected.

of the outlet of the stomach, and the only remedy was to have it cut out, which I refused to have done. I then visited great many mineral springs to find relief, among which were West Baden, Ind; Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico; Sweet Springs, Mo-, and Monitor, Col. I also took great many different kinds of medicine recom- mended for dyspepsia, but found no re- lief. Last February read testimonial for Pe-ru-na in the Central Baptist that suited my case and I determined at once to try it. I have taken two bottles of Pe-ru-na and four of Man-a-lin, and I feel like new man. None of my friends believed I would get well. I wonld not take any money for the good your remedies have done me. I think your medicines are all you claim them to be. Ienclose my photograph.
 But in catarrh of the stomach, as we'll as in catarrh of any other part of the body, Pe-ru-na is the remedy. As it has often been said, if Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh of one part, it will cure ca tarrh of any other part of the body. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, and the remedy that will cure it anywhere will cure it everywhere.

 Officers and Was
 Captured.

 Before the robber could get possession of the watch Mir Stevens struck him in the face The blow was returned by the negro and MT. Stevens was so dazed that he could not recover before the highwayman had secured his watch and fled. He recovered, however, in time to see the negro leave the alley and run into Twentieth street. A lively chase followed.
 The robber was evidently a stranger to the city, and started down Twentieth street running at full speed He passed Officer Bodeker near Third avenue,- and the po- liceman immediately joined in the chase
 When Third alley was reached the negro turned down it and ran directly toward the police station Officer Bodeker stopped at the entrance to the alley and yelled to the officers at the station to catch the rob- ber
 The negro realized his mistake too late, and could not turn before the officers had surrounded him. He was taken in the pris- on and gave nIs name as Will Howard. The watch with part of the chain attached was found in his pocket and notwith- standing its rough usage was still run ming and the hand pointed to 11:30 when recovered.
 The negro said that woman gave him the watch and that he knew nothing of the robbery, regardless of the fact that he had not been out of sight of Mr. Stevens dur ing the race. MT. Stevens produced the missing part of the chain and clearly iden- tiied his property The watch was a very valuable one and was worth $125.

WAS DRAWN BATTLE.

London, Dec. 4.-The later details
received from Modder river show that
even the desperate courage the attack
ing force displayed all day long mo
vember 2Sth,) failed to drive the Beers
from their strong entertainments and
night fell on an undecided battle. But
during the course of the night General
Cronte, commanding the Beers, who
are said to have numbered 1000
men decided that the struggle was
hopeless. for the British found the
town and surrounding positions evac-
uated when daylight broke. and the
whole British army crossed the river
and encamped on the Boer position.
The experts here are unanimous in
expressing the opinion that Kimber-
ley's needs must be very pressing to
induce General Methuen to expose
the whole of his command to the Boer
marksmen, snugly entrenched In n
semi-circular position. So deadly was
the fire zone that the Scots Guards
were compelled to leave their Maxim
guns behind when the British soldiers
were forced to seek less exposed
ground. II was only after dusk that
a portion of the British troops sue
ceeded in crossing the river by a mill
dam on the extreme left. When night
fell the Boer artillery fire was still
as vigorous as in the morning, but
the Beers retirement In the night
saved the position for the British The
exhausted condition OF the British
troops precluded the possibility of the
pursuit of the enemy.
