DISCOVERED BY A
WOMAN

Another great discovery has
been made, and that too, by
lady IN this country. "Disease
fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs
we're undermined and death seemed
imminent. For three months she
coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discoved
a way to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, and
was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night;
and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes

STABLE RENT $40 A MONTH.
Another Sample of Colonel Neal's
Thrifty Management.

Columbia, S. c., March 25.-
The penitentiary Investigating
committee today took a recess un-
til June 18th when it will take up
new lines and visit the State
farms.
The commission did not care to
close up the present limo until
Neal could be heard.
Today's chief development was
that Colonel Neal has been .draw-
ing $40 every month for stabhug
his horses at his home. He is
supposed to have used this in pay-
ing house rent. In 1894 he drew
1920 in lump for stable rent
and every month since that time
has drawn $40 month, and the
board has been in absolute ignor>
ance of it.
Chairman Cunningham said
that he never looked at the prison
pay roll on which this 80 for
stable rent was placed by Colonel
Meals order. He could have
found that the State was paying
for the stable rent by LOOKING at
the pay roll. He admits over
confidence and sub-oEcsr's check
being thought to be all requisite.
The horses were kept at Colonel
Meals for convenience. He said
there was plenty of room to have
kept them in the penitentiary.
The horses were fed by the State
and belonged to the penitentiary.

LATIMER'S BOOKCASE.
Said he Tried TO get the Bill From
Neal.
TO the Editor of the State:

TO the Editor of the State:
From comment in your paper
OF yesterday, and the evidence of
Mr.. Westfield before the commit
tee, l feel called upon to make
statement with regard to tho book
case we have.
While on a visit to Mr.. Neal,
in Columbia, Mrs. Latimer saw
Mr.. Meals bookcase, and, finding
that it was made at the psniten>
tiary, ordered one. About two
years from that time the case was
shipped to my home in Bolton. l
at once wrote to Mr.. Neal for the
bill. l got no reply. Sometime
after this | was in Columb bia and
asked Mr.. Neal what / owed him
for the case. He replied that l
owed him nothing, that he had
made Mrs. Latimer a present of
the case. l had no thought but
that the case was settled for until
read MIR. Westfield's evidence.
| am ready now and have always
been ready to settle my accounts,
but did not know that [ owed this.
Very respectfully,
A. &. Latimer.

LAGRIPPE'S LEGACY.

Worn out and exhausted in body
and mind, with shattered nerves aud
paipitating heart; no desire for food
and no ability to digest 1t; unable to
rest or sleep day or night-lhis is La
Grippe's legacy. Long after the grip
germs have been driven out the poi
sons which they created remain in
the blood, the heart. the lungs. the
stomach, weakening the nerves and
lowering the vitality OF the system.
There Is one way of destroying the
seeds OF disease and death which are
IN inheritance from grip. DR.. Miles
NerviRe will do it. II gives the shat
tered nerves a rest and helps them TO
recover their strength. 1t stimulates
the appetite, strenthens the stomach
assimilation and fills the blood with
the vital ele ements OF life.

this morning Macarthur, after
accommodating, pushed along the
railroad toward Malolos. Tho
main body of the enemy retreated
to halolos. There are no more
trenches to encounter, although
over thirty villages, including the
larger settlements of Bulacan and
Guiguinanto, intervene.
Circulars have been posted at
every railroad station and signed
"Filipino commander in chief, "
ordering all spies and newsbearers
of the enemy to be shot without
trials. and instructing that all
looters and ravishers be treated in
the same manner. 1t is further
ordered that all towns abandoned
by the Filipinos first be burned.
While deploring tae existence of
war, the circular maintains the
undeniable right of the Filipinos
to defend their homes, lives and
lands against would-be- e-dominaters
who will kill them, their wives
and children, and adding that this
ought to impel all Filipinos to
sacrifice everything.
The evacuation of Malabon was
picturesque. Thousands of men,
women and children, loaded with
household goods, poured across
the swamps early IN the morning.
The exploded calsson at the rail-
road bridge delayed the American
advance. Ten Oregonians search
ing for two comrades killed early
in the fight, sneaked into the city
and found the place in a condition
of chaos. The inhabitants seeing
them fed panic stricken, thinking
the Americans were in possession.
The Americans did not occupy
Malabon, but are concentrating
at Nalolos.

never rendered bill for the feed,
which has not been paid.
Captain Westfeld testified that
Tillman, Evans and ElIerbe all
ran small farms near Columbia.
In answer to questions he said
that Gov. Tillmsn had worked
eight or ten acres of rented land
in and near Columbia while Gov
ernor. The work was done by
convicts and with penitentiary
stock. No charge for either con-
vict hire or the mules we're made
against him on any of the peni-
tentlary books. The Governor
paid for the fertilizers used. This
same thing was done by Gov.
Evans, and is now being done by
Gov. Ellerbe. No other Gov~
ernors prior to Gov. Tillman had
ever done such thing. The pea
vine hay with which Gov Ellerbe is
credited on his account to the
amount of $50, he said, was made
on this small Columbia farm.
Two hundred and twenty dollars
has been paid by the penitentiary
for granite curbing for the
mansion which has never been
taken from the quarry whore
made. The penitentiary has paid
the bill iii labor but has never
been remunerated. The peni-
tentiary paid other bills for which
it has not yet been recompensed.

Funeral of John Raedy.

The funeral of John Raedy will take place
Monday morning at 10 O'Clock from St
Aloysius Church, where a requiem mass
will be said. The interment will be made
at Mt. OltVet cemetery. Typhoid fever and
nervous prostraIlon were the cause Of his
death, which occurred at 1880 O'Clock yes
terday morning. A widow and two children
survive.
Mr.. Raedy came to this country from Ire
land when but boy, and with his parents
located in this city. He was communi-
cant of the Roman Catholic Church and
was a generous friend to the worthy poor.
Many suffering families, especially in his
neighborhoOd, were the recipients of his
bounty, but never knew the Identity Of
their generous helper. BY judicious invest
ments he had amassed fortune estimated
at S150.o00. He had lived for some time
past in a handsome home he built for HIM
self on | street a little west of North Cap
itol street, and from this residence the
funeral will proceed to the nearby church
after preliminary mortuary services. The
final service at the grave will be conducted
by the Elks. of which organization the de-
ceased was life member.
