the night with any very cheerful antici-

keep his appointment, was likely to
have no more protection against intru-

and while / cannot say that I especially
feared any unwelcome entrance into
my apartment I would have gone to
my rest with a greater sense of satisfac-

that key had been turned by my own
hand on my own side of the door. 8
The atmosphere of gloom which set
tied down over the household after the
evening meal seemed like the warning
note of something strange and evil
awaiting. us, So marked was this that
many in my situation would have fur

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat.
ent r1edicine?

Sylvan Valley News, Bervard, North Carolina.
II may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
GUS proprietary medicines which flood
the market. yet as a preventative Of
suffering we feel it our duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that If bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy was
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very MANY
cases the presence ofa physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by G. w. Houston, at

A Tragedy Which May Lead to Interna-
tional Complications.
NEW ORLEANS, July 22.-Five Sicil-
ians have been hanged by mob at Tai
lula, town of several hundred inhabi-
tants in Madison parish, II miles from
the river. The dead are:
JOE DEFATTA.
CHARLES DEFATTA.
FRANK DEFATTA.
DEBoRRoCH.
JOE CERENo
The five victims were strung up to
trees for supposed connection with a
plot to murder DR.. Hodges, prominent
physician of the place, who THURSDAY
was shot and fatally wounded by one of
the Sicilians. In addition to this several
acts of lawlessness that have occurred
in the neighborhood recently We're at
tributed to the gang. Several of the
men are believed to have families in
Europe Quiet was restored immedi-
ately after the lynching and the grand
jury began an investigation of the affair,
but because of the feeling against the
men it is doubtful if action is taken
against members of the mob.
For several weeks a herd of goats be-
longing to Frank Defatta had been
sleeping and running on the gallery OF
DR.. j. Ford Hodges Office and resi-
dence. The doctor, on various occa-
sions, requested the owner to keep his
goats up, but he did not do it and ON
the night of the 10Th DR.. Hodges shot
one of the goats on his gallery.
About shutdown Thursday DIR. Hodges
passed Joe Defatta's store Charles De-
fatta was there and jumped up and said,
'You shot my goat" and struck the
doctor, who attempted to repel the at
tack. Finding the Sicilian too much
for him, he tried to draw his pistol, and
Joe Defatta, at the door, pulled double
barreled shot gun and fired two shots at
the doctor, giving him a mortal wound.
At the crack of the gun Frank De-
fatta, Sy and John Cereno, who were in
Defatta's store on Front street, started
on run to Joe's store with shot guns
and long knives in their hands. Court
was in session, and large crowd of
country people with the sheriff and his
deputies joined in the chase, and arrest
ed and disarmed Frank Defatta, Deber-
roch and Cereno, after hard struggle.
Cereno made lunge at one of the crowd
with one Of his knives and was knocked
down by a bystander The hanging
