BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin Is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisOns IN
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have q smooth, soft SKIN, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red
dishguring pimples.
Ef0rnaI vigilance is the prfCo
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.
MrHT. Shobe, 77o4 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis

Praise For ThOrdsen.
The navy department has recently
awarded TO COckswain William Il.
Thordsen of the gunboat Pampanga a
medal for bravery in action on shore at
Hilongas, island of Leyte, one Of the
Philippine group, last May. His COM
manding officer. Major Andrews, says
Of this gallant sailor:
"His spirit was superb, and he is a
fine example of the stuff of which the
American soldier is made that enables
them TO go into such he'll holes as they
did that day and by their dash and
valor counterbalance all odds in men
and Notifications"
Lieutenant Payne, the commander Of
the Pampanga, also cOmmends Ihord-
sens conduct and says it is deserving
Of a medal of honor especially as the
duties of the cOckswafn did not re-
quire him to volunteer to enter places
where 1t was necessary TO call for vol
unteers 70 go, but this he did three
times"
Test Constitutional Cases.
Two highly important constitutional
test cases will be brought to the atten-
ton of the court during the present
session. One is that of Emil J. Pepke,
who was caught in Chicago with val
liable collection Of diamonds which he
is alleged to have stolen in the Philip
pines. In an appeal to the supreme
court the constitutional question Is
raised by the defendant.
Another case is that Of Goethe versus
the United States, in which the Porto
Rican tariff issue is brought up by the
refusal of the plaintiff to pay duties on
an importation of tobacco from Porto
Rico, basing his claim on the assertion
that Porto Rico is United States terri
tory and therefore subject to the same
immunities rs the states The latter
case will probably not be argued and
decided until after the election.
Pessimistic About Guam.
In his annual report to the secretary
of the navy Rear Admiral w. X. Van
Reypen, surgeon general, takes a pessi-
mistic view from the standpoint Of
health Of the use of Guam as a naval
station.
Typhoid fever Is practically epidem-
ic among the natives" be says, lowing
to the pollution Of drinking water in
shallow wells near cesspOols and to the
very common lack Of any provision
whatever for the receipt Of refuse mat
ter. The disease soon appeared among
the enlisted force, as access to contain
mated water was under the circum-
stances unavoidable. During less than
| five months there were % cases and 4
deaths from this cause in a force of 143
men,"
At meeting of the Central Labor
Union at Typographical temple the 9th
er evening a resolution was unanimous
~ passed inviting the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor to hold its annual con-
vention here in 1901. There are over
300 delegates to this body, and it is de-
sired to have the convention Tore in or
der to influence congress for the pas
sage of uniform eight hour law and
other legislation for the betterment OF

Corn and Cotton CrOps-The Turkish
Indemnity MRtter-Praise and
IA Medal For ThOrdscn.
Especial Correspondence

The monthly report Of the statiSu-
clan Of the department of agriculture
shows the average condition of corn
on Oct. to have been 1872, as COM
pared with SOC last month, SD on oct.
/. 1890. - at the corresponding date
IN 1895 and 81, the mean of the Octo'
Der averages of the last ten years.
While the decline during September
WAS not serious, il extended to almost
every important corn growing state
the crops of Ohio Missouri, Nebraska
and Virginia alone holding their own.
There was decline of one point in In
diana. three points in Illinois, Kansas
and Texas and four points in Iowa.
The preliminary estimate of the yield
per acre of oats is 296 bushels, rs COM
pared with 30.7 bushels last year 2'.S
bushels in 1898 and a ten year average
Of 26.2 bushels.
The report shows the average condi-
ton Of cotton on Oct to have been
81. as compared with GS.2 last month";
GA on oct. l. 1899. 75.4 at the CORE
spending date in 1S9S and ZIG. the
mean Of the October averages of the
last ten years With the exception OF
North Carolina and Tennessee, where
there is no appreciate change in the
condition Of the crop. there has been a
decline during September throughout
the whole of the cotton states east OF
the Mississippi river.
The Turkish Indemnify Matter.
The Chinese difficulties have rather
driven out Of public view the Turkish
indemnity question for the time being.
This does not mean that our govern
ment has lost sight of IT, Once week
cur charge at ConStantinople, Mr. Girls
com, renews his representations TO
the porte and quite as regularly re
ceives the stereotyped assurance that
one day all will be well. The story that
the Turkish government is already pay
ing the indemnity by installments Is
pronounced utterly without foundation.
Beyond the recognition of the obliga-
ton and the most fulsOme promises or
payment the Turkish authorities have
not proceeded AZ any time. Neither Is
there any truth, it is said at the depart
ment of state. in the report that we
have notified Turkey that it will not be
worth while TO send another minister
until she has paid her debts. on the
contrary, the name submitted with the
usual fOrmality for All Ferrouh Bey's
successor has been duly approved ana
Turkey has been informed that he will
meet with a courteous reception when
be arrives.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Some months ago, Mr.. L. E. Moore,
perfected an impervious package for
holding certain kinds of medicines
which would be effected by contact
with air or moisture. Before he had
fully developed his new package, he
submitted the general outlines of his
idea to Mr.. j. P. Dawson, who was not
slow to recognize the merit Of the in
vention. Since that time Messrs. Moore
and Dawson have been continually at
work for the success of the new process
for Theoretically sealing package con-
tanning only one dose.
The package, aside from being proof
against air, moisture, acids, etc, is a
great convenience by reason of its size
and shape-it is an exact fit for the vest
pocket. As every one knows, such
things as Bromo Settler and other SINH
lar preparations, deterioate from ex-
posture and wherever you handle such
things in bulk, exposure cannot be
avoided, regardless of how much care
may be used
Preparations put up in "Moore's I'M
pervious Package" will keep indef-
nitely and be as good in twelve months
as when first made.
The principal products which they
will give most attention to will be

HOUSE ROBBERY.

While Mrs. George H. Keller was
away from home Thursday afternoon,
attending the funeral of Eugene Cohen
it was discovered by Mrs. Balm, Mrs
Keeler's mother, that some sneak thief
had entered the residence and stolen
three gold watches, $40 in money and
several silk handkerchiefs. The officers
were put on notice and made diligent
search that afternoon, without success.
That night Mr.. Tom Read and Mr.. Mills
Mcneil had conference with Deputy
Marshal Hicks who about 10 o'clock that
night, telegraphed to Conductor Stall
lings on passenger train, No. 4, at Kings
ton, to arrest any suspicious negro boy
boarding his train at Marietta, as the
the thief who had stolen several watch
es and money. Conductor Stallings
found Sonny Man Harris, Marietta
negro boy, on the train behind the
heater. On his person he had three
gold watches, 1874 in money and several
silk handkerchiefs. The conductor tel
graphed back ofehis capture and stated
that he would place the negro in the
Dalton jail. Sonny Man Harris is a
notorious negro thief and has been in
the changing twice. He seems incor-
rigible. Marshal Hawkins went to
DaltoH on Friday morning and brought
him back to Marietta and lodged him
in Jail. The robbery was done with a
good deal of cunning and skill. The
four watches were in four different
places and the money in two or more
pocket books, yet Sonny Man Harris
found and appropriated them.
After the return of the negro to Ma =
rietta it was ascertained that he had
only Mrs. Bain's and Mrs. Keelers gold
watches and small silver watch that
had not been missed, making five
watches that he had taken. Mr.. Oscar
Keeler's gold watch and Milton Keel
ers silver one were still missing.
Harris then confessed that he gave
the negro porter on the train, named
Vance Fielding. two watches, one gold
and one silver, to take to Alex Hill. q
Marietta negro at Chattanooga, to sell
for him. Saturday morning on the re-
turn trip, the negro porter was arrested
by Marshals Hawkins and Hicks. but
he denied all knowledge of Harris and
the watches. The chief of police of
Chattanooga was telegraphed and told
the circumstances. He arrested Hill
and found the watches in his possession
and they were returned to Marietta by
expresses.
Alex Hill asserts that he bought the
two watches from Harris for $500 a
week before the negro porter was ar
rested, and that Fielding did not de-
liver them to him.
Fielding was tried before Justice
VIM Tuesday morning and was de-
Tended by Hon. N. A. Morris, and Moz-
ley 4 Weaver, and was prosecuted by
assistant solicitor, @. II. Griffin.
Sonny Man Harris adhered to his
first statement, but Fielding was dis
charged.
