A Grent EngIIsh stateman,s Secret.

1t is related that the secret of celebrated
English statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite of food put into his
mouth W IS chewed 30 times before he swallowed
1t. The consequence was that his stomach never
bothered him, and he naturally enjoyed good
health Most men and women bolt their food
and eat things which were never intended to be
eaten. They become costve, have bad com
plexion, lose hesh are irritable and nervous, and
the first thing they know they are played out"
as the saying goes. 1t is gratifying to know that
H sietters Stomach Bitters overcomes and
cures all stomach troubles. It is a purely vege-
table medicine that has stood the test OF many
years. 1t cures cases which seem to be hopeless.
Chronic sufferers from any disorder of stomach,
liver, blood or bowels should try it.

Growing Thirsty at st, AIbans.

From the Barre Evening telegram
The sales of the St. Adams liquor agency
show an increase in the first eight months
of this year over 1898 of $3,S140S. This
is since the saloons, drug stores and hotels
have gone out of business. 1t shows an
alarming amount of sickness in that city.
The state board of health should investi-
gate the matter at once. The fact that the
Messenger advertises certain brand of
liquor as being sold at that agency may ac-
count for it, as good advertising always in
creases the sales

A despatch received in London from
Cape Town Tuesday stated that 300 Beers
and Is British have been killed in battle
at Mafeking. Col. Baden-Powel made a
sortie from Mafeking in force and attacked
the Beers, who were investing the town
After fierce fighting the British carried the
day. From Colesburg came persistent
reiterations of the report that the Beers
have attacked Mafeking, being thrice re-
pulsed with heavy losses. From other
towns on the border similar reports are re-
ceived. Refugees who arrived Tuesday at
Lorenzo Marquee, Portuguese East Africa,
from the Transvaal reported that the Beers
had been repulsed at Mafeking, sustaining
heavy losses. Several other reports were
received in regard to fighting near MAIZE
king but their accuracy is questioned.
A despatch from Kimberley, dated Mon
day, says that an armored train while re-
connoitering near Spytfontein engaged the
Beers, killing five and wounding seven.
The British had no losses. The armored
train, with detachment of the Lane ashires,
approached unmolested until within range,
when the Beers opened fire. The Maxms
were instantly set to work and did great
execution among the burghers. The lat
ter also used artillery, but ineffectiyely.
The armored train returned to Kimberley
unframed. The crew of the armored train
said the Beers fired 10 shells, but not a
single shot struck the train.
The Orange Free State burghers are ap-
parently threatening to invade Cape Col
ony, by way of Norvals Point and Aliwal
North, both of which are at their mercy, if
they possess artillery. Solar as is known.
the only British force stationed at Aliwal
North is a detachment of the ROYAL Berk-
shire regiment. Passengers arriving from
johannesburg Monday were forced to leave
the train north of Norvals Point and to
make detour through the veldt, under es-
cort, joining the train farther south. This
is understood to be due to the fact that
the Beers have undermined the line.
1t was reported Wednesday that the
Beers were massing their forces in Natal
colony, and that battle was in progress in
the neighborhood of Ladysmith.
The siege of Mafeking continues, and
the report that a white flag has been dis
played indicates that the place may have
surrendered to Kruger's forces.
The Queen has called out the whole mill
tary reserve, and an estimate of war ex-
penses in South Africa reaches $153, OO0,-
900.
A new element in the military situation
is the rising of the warlike tribe of Basu-
tos under Cchoko Chief against the Orange
Free State.

War in South Africa.

Conflicting Reports Received of En-
gagements---MafekIng and Vryburg
Said TO Have KImber-
ley Surrounded.
Reports of engagements between the
Beers and English in South Africa have
been received daily since Friday, but the
wires are down and all reports lack con-
firmation. The first story received stated
that the Beers had blown up an armored
train, killing 10 British soldiers, but this
statement has since been denied. The
Beers have undoubtedly attacked Mafeking.
One report has been received that the
water supply has been cut off, and another
that the city has surrendered. The Lon
don Mail had despatch yesterday saving
Vryburg had surrendered 1t is known
that the Beers have surrounded Kimber
ley, where the greatest diamond mines in
the word are located and where the Brit
ish have a force of 5000 men. Cecil
Rhodes, ex premier of Cape Colony, is sup
posed to be shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers are said to have offered S25 900 for
him, dead or alive.

NORTHERN FANATICS
Held Responsible for Southern Mob
Violence.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 25-The Georgia
legislature met in regular session to-
day. Governor Gambler devoted several
paragraphs of his message to the twin
subjects of crime and mob violence.
He takes the position that the unusual
amount of crime by Iawless negroes
and the consequent unprecedented
amount of mob violence can be laid at
the door of intermeddling and inter-
fering fanatics and fools who do not
know anything about the situation in
the south.
He believes that almost all, if not all
the sources of lawlessness among the
negroes can be traced to speeches and
newspaper articles and incendiars let
lers sent to negroes in the south. ag-

fess to deplore.

BRADLEY TAKES THE FIELD
He Refers TO Bryan'S Visit and De-
nounCeS the GOebeI Law.

Louisville. KY, Oct. Ex-Governor
William o. Bradley, the only republi-
can executive Kentucky has ever had,
but who for the last two years, has
| been out of line with his party, to-
night began a speech-making tour of
the state in the interest of the repub-
lican ticket He addressed an audi
ence of 1000 persons at the auditorium
here and was received with enthus-
iasm. His course in advocating the
election of the republican nominees in
this state means that the factions of
that party are to be reunited, and that
the party will put up d solid front at
the close of the campaign now being
waged in this state.
The governors speech tonight dealt
largely with state questions, but in it
to Kentucky and to deEounce the
Goebel election law. He referred to
the feuds which had been waged If
this state, and declared that there had
been fewer since the republicans had
been in power than during any cor
responding number of years
There We're six times as many
men killed in the French -E,versole
feud," Governor Bradley asserted. ''i,s
there have been in the White-J'al1:.r
feud, and yet in the former but two
men were convicted
The speaker remarked that this was
the first campaign within his recollec-
ton in which the people of Kentucky
had to be instructed by outsiders as
to how they should vote He called al
tention to the fact that all the out
side speakers had admitted that they
knew nothing about the work of the
state convention that nominated Goe-
bel for governor.
The governor took up the state is
sues declared for in the democratic
platform, and attempted to show that
they were unwise and not i'll the in
terest of the people. lie appealed to
the cOlored voters of the state not to
desert General Taylor, the republican
for governor, and go to Goe-
bel, on account of the latter's alleged
view as to the separate coach law.

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS
Opinions Expressed on Presidents
Recent Western Trip.

Washington. Oct. 25.-The PRESIDENT S
western trip and the enthusiasm for
the Philippines policy of the admin
istration which he aroused among the
people continue to be a topic of dis
cussiOn among officials and politicians
In official circles, particularly, it is felt
that his trip may produce at an early
beneficial character.
1t is thought that one effect OF the
presidents utterances may be to dis
pei the last illusion in Aguinaldos
mind, fostered by the anti-expansion-
lists, that further resistance by the
insurgents will avail them. There is
no doubt in the minds of officials at
Washington that the insurgents have
been encouraged in their insurrection
by the anti-expansionists, who have
led them to believe that by holding on
q little longer the administration will
be compelled to grant them substantial
concessions.
Neither is there any doubt that the
insurgent leaders have been misled by
their ilI-advised friends in this coun-
try as to the real magnitude of anti
expansion sentiment in the United
States.
1t is argued, therefore, that if
Aguinaldo is given correct reports of
the presidents recent trip he will get
another idea of the situation 1t is
hoped that the repeated declarations
of the president of his determination
to put down the insurrectiOn at all
costs may be communicated to Aguin-
