ed a resolution to be sent to the
Southern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny, placing before the Company
the inconvenience caused to the
travelling public by the running
of the branch road to New Iberia,
instead of Cade, as before. Our
people going East have to leave
two hours earlier, and the mail
also is closed two hours earlier
than is necessary, simply to allow
the train to run to New Iberia.
What we want. and what the ira
Yelling public want is rapid COM
munication with both the East
and West trains, for mail and pas
sengers, and we trust that the
Railroad officials will understand
the justice of our complaint and
restore the running of the train as
it vas before, with the least delay |
possible. |

IAN INSANE MAN KILLS ANOTHER.
Shocking Crime at the Augusta Asylum
Wednesday.

Augusta, January 27.--Elmer Arnold,
an insane hospital inmate while in a
violent condition Wednesday tore off the
end of . Sc t 9 and Sd beatWilliam George,
another inmate. that he died Thursday.
Arnold has been at the hospital four
years and was considered inofiensive.
George belonged in Rockland where he
had wife.
The deed was committed just after the
patients had been released from their
sleeping rooms and Were in the corridors.
When the day nurse came on about $50
the patients are allowed to go out into
the hall and spend the day in roaming
around or reading as they see tit.
Arnold did not seem any different from
usual when he was allowed to go into
the hall. He had only been out few
moments when he suddenly rushed to a
settee and wrenched off the arm, which
was heavy piece of iron. He fiourished
1t in the cir and struck two patients
before he encountered George whom he
hit on the front Of the head, telling him
to the floor. Not satisfied with that he
bit him twice again. The attendants
rushed to the scene ami overpowered
Arnold. He was led away and placed in
confinement and will not be allowed any
liberties in the future. George was
picked up and carried to bed. Medical
aid was promptly summoned and every
thing done to save his life. but the shock
was too great, however, and he did not
rally. Arnold is now rational, and when
he talks to the attendants he says he has
no knowledge of committing the deed,
His memory on the whole occurrence is a
perfect blank and it was several hours
after he had committed the deed before
he returned to bis usual condition.

MIsCELLANEVUS
THE CAUSE OF
APPENDICITIS
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
How II Will Be Prevented in
the Future.

Until within the past few months the
cause Of Appendicitis has been attributed
to the swallowing Of grapes, tomato,
cherry and other fruit seeds which were
supposed to lodge In the appendix anu set
up an Inflammation, but after operating
upop thousands of cases and finding no
sign OF any Irritating substance, the med
ical profession began to look further.
They were not long In discovering that
Intestinal Indigestion. only, was the true
cause; but here again they were brought
face to face with germ disease for
which they had no cure. Like the germs
OF disease which cause Catarrh, Bron-
chitis and Consumption, this bacilli could
not be reached except by one germicide
strong enough to kill them without IN
Jury TO the patient The question then
arose, could this germicide be given
through the stomach and have the same
effect as II did in diseae of the air pas
snges. Experiments were made during
the past summer, and 1t was proven that /,
combined with other remedies Tor
dyspepsia. Hyomei acted like charm
and was equally as efficacious in destroy
ing these germs as those of Catarrh,
covery resulted in the placing of Hyo
mel Dyspepsia Cure on the market, and
now for the first time in the history OF
the medicine u cure treating each KIND OF
dyspepsia separately is given to the pup
lilo. Intestinal Indigestion, the most
dangerous of all, can now be successfully
treated and the national disease, dyspep-
sia, which has increased yearly IN spite
Of all so-called cures, can now De COM
pletely eradicated and appendicitis pre-
vented.
