II KILLED THE BEAR.

y man who had experience in

broke in ON the talk thus
"Pshaw, you fellows don't know
what changeablc weather is. You
think it's always cold in Alaska, do
you Well just let me tell you a
little personal experience OF mine.
One day | went hunting with a party
of miners. The weather was quite

bitterly cold, and large icicles
formed ON my whiskers Ct had

had nothing but powder in my gun,
and the man with the cartridges was
away behind me, so as a desperate
resort ] rammed the iciclcs from
my beard into the gun and blazed
away"
"And what happened ?" said one
of the crowd eagerly.
"Why, / struck him squarely in
the head and killed him"
"Killed him ? Impossible -

Temperature suddenly turned warm

Az EASILY TRIED nGADAcng CURE

"Thc most excellent and never
failing cure for nervous headache, "
says the apostle Of physical culture,
els the simple act Of walking back
ward. Just try it some time If you
have any doubt about it,
Physicians saJ that it is because
the relies action Of the body brings
about a reflex action Of the brain,
and thus drives away the pain that,
when produced by nervousness, is
the result Of too much going for
ward. As soon as you begin to
walk backward, however, there
comes feeling Of everything being
reversed, and this is followed by
relief. The relief is always certain
and generally speedy Ten minutes
is the longest fhave ever found
necessary.
"An entry or a long room is a
good place for such a promenade,
but even better than this is a long
porch, or secluded walk in the
open air You should walk very
slowly, letting the ball Of your foot
touch the floor first and then the
heel; just the way 10 fact, that
one should, in theory, walk for
ward, but which, in practice, is so
rarely done"

Notorious George Davis
Goes to the Penitentiary

An important decision was rend-
cred Monday by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, at Cincin-
natl, in the case against Geo. Davis,
charged with conspiracy in the kill
ing of Deputy United States Mar
shall G.. b. Garner. The verdict at
the trial was ten years in the peni-
Tertiary, and when taken to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals it was affirm
ed, but the latest agitation was over
a petition to rehear. This has just
been dismissed, and Davis will serve
his time.
In Hardin county, among the
hills, for many years, an armed band
of desperadoes have terrorized the
inhabitants. They have been charg-
ed with many crimes, and every un-
lawful act has been laid at their
doors. The leader of this gang was
the notorious Gus Thomas. His
lieutenant was George Davis, a man
little behind Thomas in point of
Iawlessness. Both men had their
henchmen, and feudal lords had no
more loyal followers. Moonshining
was their chief pastime, and the
number of gallons of illicit whisky
produced from their stills was enor-
nous.
Marshal Brown, of the Western
District of Tennessee, at last decided
to break up the band, and made up
posse at Selmer, McNairy county,
and descended upon them 1t was
about midnight when they arrived
in the vicinity of Thomas house,
but they Immediately made prepare
tions to capture him. A guide was
found who conducted them to his
cabin, and it required but a moment
or two to awake him and arrest ev-
eryone in the house. But Mrs.
Thomas pleaded with Brown not to
leave her alone in the house, and at
last he yielded, leaving Lige Thorn
as, 13-year-old boy, with her.
They then left to capture Davis,
Gus chief henchman. They, how
ever, took long route, and by the
time they reached his cabin he was
fully prepared. Lige Thomas, when
the revenue men left the house, had
mounted horse and riding through
the fields warned Davis and the
other men in the vicinity.
By the time Marshal Brown ar
rived at the house he found about
five men gathered there, and just as
day began to break they opened fire
upon the revenue men. At tie first
volley Deputy Marshal G. B. Gar
ner fell dead and Marshal Brown
received frightful wound in the
face. Davis was afterward arrested,
tried and convicted.
Court will meet in Jackson, Tenn,
on Monday, June II, and then the
date from when Davis began to
serve his term will be settled.

Will Not be a Candidate.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Presi-
dent Mckinley has decided not to
be a candidate for third term.
The following statement has been
given out at the White House:
81 regret that the suggestion of a
third term has been made. | doubt
whether l am called upon to give it
notice. But there are questions of
the gravest importance before the
Administl alton and the public, and
their just consideration should not be
prejudiced in the public mind by
even the suspicion Of a third term.
In view, therefore, of the reiteration
of the suggestion of it, l will say
now, once for all, expressing long
settled conviction, that [ not only
am not and will not be candidate
for third term, but would not ac-
cept nomination for it if it were
rendered me.
s'My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the &C
ceptanee of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence l so deeply ap-
preciate, and then with them to do
my duty in the ranks of private citi.
zenship.

JUDGE WILKES, of the Supreme
Court, handed down one of the most
important decisions which has come
from that tribunal for years, at
Jackson, Saturday afternoon. I'm
der this decision all property must
be assessed at its actual cash value
and the assessed valuation of the
state will be increased probably %
or 80 per cent. The State Board
of Equalization is given absolute
power to raise every assessment to
the actual cash value of the proper
ty. Chief Justice Snodgrass only
dissented from the decision. The
action of Hon. n. IL. White as
proxy for Treasurer E. B. Craig on
the State Board of Equalization is
upheld and the board is required to
give no notice of having raised as
sessments. Any property which
was assessed for less than its actual
value can, at any time within three
years, be back assessed for the diff
ference between the assessment and
the actual value. This latter clause
is probably the most sensational
item in the decision and affords a
wide field for the operations of the
state revenue agents.

Capitol Repairs,

The Capitol Commission, com
posed of Gov. McMillin, Treasurer
Folk and Comptroller King, met
this morning, organized and made a
tour of inspection through the CAP
itol building and grounds with a
view of determining what work
should be taken up first.
The architect employed by the
Capitol Building and Grounds Com
mittee of the Legislature, Mr.. Yea
man, estimated that needed repairs
would cost 500, 900. However, the
general assembly appropriated only
$25, 700, and the Commission will
have to determine what work shall
be omitted from the original plan.
The commissioners this morning
went over the building, through the
Easements and inspected the
grounds thoroughly. They also went
through the old cisterns in the base
ment and found all of them but one
dry and in healthful condition.
That one will be drained at once.
1t was determined that the first
work to be done would be the taking
up of the asphalt which covers the
stone walk of the esplanades and
the base of the upper colonnades
and also to repair the steps leading
from the grounds to the capitol.
Other meetings will be held soon
and further repairs and improve
ments decided upon.-Nashville
