 No one can reasonably hope for good health unless his bowels move once each day. When this is not attended to, disorders of the stomach arise, bill iousness, headache, dyspepsia and piles soon follow. If you wish to avoid these ailments keep your bowels regular by taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets when required. They are so easy to take and mild and gentle in effect.

MANY DIED IN STORM.
List of Tornado Victims In Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Arkan-
sas Grows Heavier.


A Memphis special says: Reports
OF damage by Saturday nights storm
ere coming in from the country slowly
rs the telegraph and telephone wires
are being opend. Mail and wire re
ports to date indicate that no less than
sixteen, and perhaps more, persons
lost their lives in West Tennessee and
Arkansas.
Considering the velocity of the wind
and the heavy downpour of rain it is a
wonder that the death rate was not
greater. Yet all of the small towns in
the path of the storm have not been
heard from.
Around Forest City three people
J. A. Wooley, planter, and Pinkney
Watson and child we're killed outright.
The Wooley home was literally carried
away and the inmates all more or less
hurt.
The storm was the worst that has
passed through Gibson county, Arkan-
sas, in years.
At Covington, Tenn, Wyatt Smith,
colored, was killed.
Many reports of serious injuries all
over west Tennessee and Arkansas are
being received, and it will be several
days before the full list of dead can be
asce1 tanned. The farmers have sus.
tanned tremendous loss.
Kentucky suffered greatly by the
storm of last night and although there
are no reports of loss of life, much
property was destroyed.
A special from Owensboro says there
was regular waterspout there and
considerable damage was done. Gel
lars were flooded and gutter bridges
swept away. The sewer we'll, at the
intersection of Main and Davis streets,
burst and there was cavein forty
feet in diameter.
In Clinton county several houses
were demolished and several freight
cars blown off the track. A number
of negroes were hurt.
At Padncah, in the Mason's Mill
section of the country, eight mules
from town, storm overturned twelve
tobacco barns, stables and outhouses,
killing many valuable head of stock,
destroying the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian, Catholic and Baptist churches
and crushing in three negro houses,
GILL; -rsSl v,anrto
At London the new residence OF
Tillford Jones was blown from its
foundation and is a complete wreck.
The Sue Bennett college was damaged
between $500 and 81, 900, and at Hick'
man the Baptist church was destroy
ed, also one drug store and numbers
of tenement houses.
Reports from over the state OF Ar
kansas show that the storm was far
greater than was anticipated. Thus
far there are sixteen deaths reported.

WARRANTS WILL ISSUE.

"Slave-Holdina" Planters In South Caro-

A Columbia, s. c., special says:
Judge W. G. Benet has signed an or
der requiring the presentment Of the
grand jury to be served on the several
magistrates in whose jurisdiction the
"slaye-holdipg" planters Of Anderson
reside, requiring them to issue war
rants against the presented men and
bind them over to court for trial on
the charge of false Imprisonment and
assault and battery of high and ag-
gravated nature.
Judge Benet will not hold court in
Anderson in June and this action goes
to the limit of his authority.

Telegraph and telephone companies

ALondon Special says: A crisis

in the opinion of the British govern

which originally turned the eyes OF
the world toward the orient. Secret
negotiations are going on between the
United States and Great Britain with

EXPELLED M'KINLEY'S AGENT.
Hawaiian legislators Object to
Presence of Territorial Secre-
tary Coop,r.

tary Cooper.
Advices from Honolulu, via San
Francisco, state that the first terrific
rial Legislature of Hawaii began Its
sessions in Honolulu on February goth
and has been in session since.
J. A. Akina, independent, a Haw-
allan Chinese member from the island
of Kauai, was elected speaker OF the
house and DR.. Nicholas Russell, OF
Hawaii, a white man, was chosen pre-
sident of the senate.
On the third day Secretary OF the
Territory Cooper was ordered out o.
the house and escorted by the ser
geant at arms. Acting under the Sec
ton of the territorial act which pro-
yides that he ''shall record and pre-
serve the laws and proceedings OF the
legislature, Secretary Cooper took
place on the floor of the house with q
stenographer to secure record OF the
proceedings.
Representative Beckley, independ-
ent, offered a resolution requiring him
to leave. The resolution set forth
that his presence on the floor was
violation of the rule that the three de-
partments of government-e1ecutlve,
judicial and legislative-must be kept
separate, and it was urged in debate
that Governor Dole had put Cooper
where he was with view to intlml-
dating members.
Cooper was declared by Republl-
cans to be present as representative
of President Mckinley, as he had
been ordered to transmit a report to
Washington, but even this plea did
not deter the independents. After 8
long debate they passed the Bleckley
resolution by vote of 20 to 9-the
nine being all the Republicans in the
house.
With both houses in coutrol OF the
independent home rule party and con-
tanning majority of native Hawaii
ans, the legislature has already been
the scene of some remarkable proceed
ings and the end of the session prom
ises to see many very radical measures
adopted, among those to which the
controlling party is committed being a
liquor dispensary law, taxation sys-
tenn that will be a combination OF sim
gle tax and income tax doctrines, an
election law based on proportionate
representation and law excluding
from the territory all persons who may
arrive afflicted with consumption
or leprosy.
The question of languages is another
source of trouble. The organic act
says that all proceedings of the legis-
lature shall be conducted in English.
Half of the members cannot speak En-
glish, and Hawaiian interpreters have
been employed in both houses. 1t is
the opinion of some lawyers that this
will invalidate all proceedings and this
matter will come before the courts
when some laws have been passed.
Chief Justice Frear and Governor
Dole, who were members of the COM
mission that adopted the rule in ques-
ton, have expressed the opinion that
it intended to provide that no language
but English should be spoken. The
independents claim that laws and reso'
lutions, etc., shall be in English.
Every measure and every speech is be-
ing given in both English and Ha'
waiian.

Bessie Pinckney, the companion OF
the wild man captured in the swamp
above Charleston some time ago, was
captured one day the past week. The
man. Isaac Glover, disappeared with
the Pinckney woman. and both were

back to the swamps to continue her
wild life.
Negroes fled from the section, and
when the woman came to the edge OF
the swamp on the day of her capture
q crowd armed with ropes and clubs
followed and managed to get her fast
ened. She fought like panther, but
the crowd got her under control, and
wrapped with heavy ropes she was
carried to the city and locked in q
cage. The capture of the two wild
people will give more settled condl'
ton to the negro section.
