FIRED THROUGH DOOR.
Young Man Shoots at His ParentS'
Thinking They Were Burglars.

Mrs. John Ferguson, wife of former
representative Ferguson of Lee county
had narrow escape from death at the
Lands of her son one night recently. Mr.
and Mrs. Ferguson had been Yisltlng
neighbors and returned home at late
hour at night. Mrs. Ferguson proceeded
to the house and raped loudly for ad-
mittance, her husband in the meanwhile
putting away the horses. A young son
asleep in the house was aroused ny the
knocking, and thinking burglars were
trying to effect an entrance fired PTS
tol shot through the closed door, the
bullet striking his mother in the side.
Fortunately its course was attected oy
corset stell. else the wound might have
proved serious. Burglars had robbed
Mr.. Ferguson's store the night previous
and young Ferguson, forgetting his par
ents' absence, doubtless thought an at
tack was being made upon the dwelling.

Some Unique Things
About American Cities,

Albuquerque, New Mexico, has the
record of the greatest number Of sun
shiny days in the year of ANY town on
the American continent. The records
show a period of three years in which
there were but two totally cloudy
days; in other words, days IN which
the sun was not visible at some time
between the hours of rising and set
ting. And the signal service announc-
ed, in one of it's publications, not long
ago, that the ''Point of least annual
rainfall in the United States is at Al.
buquerque, N. NJ" This would not be
a good recommendation to farmers
who expect to raise crops by rainfall,
but in country where all farming de
ponds upon irrigation this is consider
ed the best condition, because the
farmer always knows "exactly where
he is at" and never has His business
Interfered with by the clouds. But
even more important than that is the
fact that it makes the ideal climate for
health and pleasure. 1t has already
made this section a national sanita>
rum for people afflicted with lung dis
ease. The air is so dry except during
the short rainy season IN July and
August that the evaporation is foot
a month, and the natives preserve their
fresh meat during the hottest weather
in summer by cutting 1T INTO strips
and hanging it on clothes lines, where,
instead of spelling, it becomes Jerked
beef in two or three days, and can be
stored away like corn or potatoes. Lit
is this dryness of the air that gives re-
lief to the patients suffering from lung
diseases,

LeaYenwprth. Kansas.

Leavenworth, Kansas, stands at the
head of American cities In the ship
ment of apples. Indeed, more apples
are shipped from Leavenworth than
from any other point on either side of
the Atlantic ocean. In addition TO the
large number of local packers engaged
in the business at this place, hundreds
of packers flock to LeavenWorth an
nually from other parts of the country
for the purpose of shipping away fruit
There are two immense cold storage
plants in Leavenworth, one of which is
built to accommodate $4,000 bushels Of
apples. LeavenWorth county has the
largest apple orchard in the world,
that of z. w. Wellrouse, which con-
tains l, 400 acres of healthy trees The
next largest orchard consists of 500
acres, and on the farm of Ex-Governor
E. n. Morrill, are $50 acres in apple
trees. There are any number of or
chards IN extent from ten to hun
dred acres. The returns from town
ship assessors show that Leavenworth
county has 203, 900 apple bearing trees,
and it is estimated that double this
number of young trees are coming on,
planted since 1898. During any good
apple season at least 125, 900 barrels of
apples are packed and shipped away
from this point.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers' never thought of using anything else
for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard OF
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean cut the system and stop
fermentation of undlgested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys-
TEN, and that is all they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious with you. Sample bottles at

Who Is 1t!

The exceptionally low prices of raw
coffee in the wholesale markets have
been practically without effect upon the
average coffee consumer He has not
been able to notice any reduction in the
prices which he has had to pay for his
supplies. The retail prices are about as
usual, and there has been no improve
ment in the quality so far as the average
citizen can discover. And something OF
the same sort, "only more So" is to be
noticed in the matter of cotton cloths.
The very low price of the raw mate
rial has not had the effect of reduc-
ing prices of finished products to the
consumer. They are about as high as
ever, and in some cases are higher than
they were time back. Who is it that
is making the money in coffee and cot
ton?-Fort Gaines Sentinel.

Denver Colorado,

Denver, Colorado, enjoys the dis
tinction of having more bicycles in
proportion to population than any
other city in the United States.
Though Denver number only 100000
souls within her city limits she boasts
Of not less than 40, 900 BICYCLES. Morn
ing and evening alike thousands of BIZ
cycles may be seen on the streets OF
Denver mounted by men, women and
children in every walk of life. Bicycles
literally overrun things and they are
used in every line of business, and
street car companies say they have
lost 81 100000 annually since bicycles
have become the rage. In fact, one
company went into the hands of re-
ceiver two years ago, alleging that
the universal wheel had impaired its
earnings to such an extent that it
could not meet its interest demands.

The popular view of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked IN many a familiar expression.
We speak of there being "bad blood"
between people at enmity, of "blue
bloodn as indicating ancestry, of "black
blood'' as describing a treacherous ma
ture. and in many another phrase mark
our belief that in the mental, moral and
physical man 'tthe blood is life." The
one basis of healthful, happy and use
full life is pure blood. With the blood
pure disease has no permanent lodging
place in the sysem For this reason the

She Can't Get 1t That Way.

Atlanta is very anxious that the state
of Georgia should build for her union
passenger depot. The idea is that the
state road owns the land where the pres
ent shed stands, therefore the state
ought to put up station. The state
road has been leased out for a long term
and the state isn't building passenger
sheds this year. Once upon time
Georgia did finish hotel for Atlanta
and an opera house, bearing the name of
Kimbau, just after the war. Bat those
times have passed savannah Press.

The trees are as thick as your
fingers. We have lots of fun
watching the monkeys. The boys
are afraid the water we are drink
ing will kill them. We haven't
had any boiled water since the
fight began. We have to drink
anything we can get our hands on.
| hope 1t won't last long. If it
does all of us will die.
JOHN II. GUM.
