Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the result
of torpid liver or irregular action OF the
bowels. Unless natures refuse is carried
off it will surely cause impure blood.
Pimples, boils and other eruptions follow.
This is natures method of throwing of
the poisons which the bowels failed to re-
move. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
world famous for remedying this condi-
ton. They stimulate the liver and pro-
mote regular and healthy action Of the
bowels but never cause gripping, cramps or
distress. Safe pills. J. A. Chedel, Gays

Big Coal Combination.

Philadelphia, July Tomorrow
the North American will publish a
story to the effect that the entire coal
transportation east of the Mississippi
River Will be divided among the rail
roads controlled by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, the Vanderbilt and the Nor
gan interests. The Pennsylvania and
Vanderbilt lines viii carry all the coal
produced in the bituminous regions,
while the Morgan roads will control
the entire anthracite transportation.
This combination, the article goes on
to say, will bring about the consolida-
tion of all the bituminnus interests
north of the Tennessee and east Of
the Mississippi. The work of consoli-|
dation has been going on for year,
and every avenue of transportation Of
coal is in control of these interests
Amont CHE bituminous group are the
Pittsburg Coal Company, the Illinois
Coal Company, the latter represent
ing all the coal properties in Illinois
and Indiana, and the Fairmont Coal
Company of West Virginia. The
total capitalization of the bituminous
interests is estimated t $340, coo, GOO.

Preservation Of Fruits

Washington, July 5.-Consul Gener--
al Guenther, in communication to.
the State Department, says that the
Agricultural Department Of Victoria,
Australia, has recently made expert
ments with reference to the preserva-
ton of fresh fruits. Pears and peaches
packed in the ordinary boxes for ship
ment, he says, were subjected to the
yapors Of hydrocyanic gas. The fruits.
were then taken out of the boxes and
separately wrapped in tissue paper.
Some of them were again treated with
the gas, and the whole lot was placed
in dry room at temperature of 20
degrees and kept there for seven
weeks, when the fruits were taken
out. They we're in excellent state Of
preservation, especially those that had
been treated with the gas a second
time. Not only the pears, but the
peaches, felt hard to the touch, re-
tanned their fresh appearance and
showed no decayed spots, as the germs
had all been killed by the gas.

FIRE FRIDAY MoRNlNe. !,
Parsonage Of Magnolia Street Methodist
Church Damaged.

The parsonage Of the Magnolia
Street Methodist Church, situated on
Harvin Street, was discovered to be on
fire at 40 o'clock Friday morning,
and when the reel squads arrived the
fire was found to be burning between
the ceiling and roof and between the
walls on one side, from the first floor
to the roof. The fire was quite a diff
cult one to handle successfully, but
the fremen made quick and inteli-
gent use Of the several streams OF
water that were turned on and in a
short time the flames were under con-
troll The house was considerably
damaged, but the loss will not be Sc
rious. The loss that Rev. VIM. Aiken
Kelly, the pastor Of the Mgnolia
Street Church, sustained was caused
principally by water, though some OF
the furniture was burned and dam
aged by smoke and heat.
The FIRE was cuased by a lamp which
was left burning on the hearth in a
room on the first floor The lamp is
supposed to have exploded and set fire
to the mantle and adjacent woodwork.
The flames ate their way through the
woodwork and worked their way up be
tween the walls to. the roof and were
burning fercely there when discovered.

HE WEDs TWIN SISTERS
BROTHER WEDs THE MOTHER.

Omaha, July Ga remarkable com
plication is disclosed by a petition for
divorce by Edward Barrett against:
Julia Barrett. Within the last seven
months the plaintiff has married twin
sisters, and his brother has married
their mother.
The father of the girls died not.
long ago, leaving little property to.
the widow and daughters. They moved
to South Omaha. Barrett wooed and
won Julia Eggers, and they were mar.
ried on October 10 last. He sought to
have her turn over her property to-
him, but she refused.
Barrett took her out into the State
and left her. He returned home and
forthwith laid siegeto the heart Of his
wife's twin sister. In February they:
went to Council Bluffs and were mar:
ried. In the meantime his brother had
married the mother of the twins. By
this latter marriage the mother be-
came the sisetr-in-law of her twin
daughters.

|. Machinist---sie is One CT the Charles

On an affidavit swozn to by J. NJ.
Shea, train master Of the Charleston
division Of the Southern Railway,
Magistrate Williams yesterday issued
a warrant for the arrest of Arthur Z.
Simmons, who is charged with assault
and battery. IL the affidavit it is
stated that Simmons boarded the spe-
cial train, Immediately after it had
been held up by the strikers at the
Enston Home switch on Friday last
ard after urging the non-union men
to leave the train, violently assaulted
the deponent because he demonstrated
at the interference. It was further
more stated in this affidavit that Mar
tin J. Sullivan was with Simmons
when he entered the train, but no
warrant for SulGvan's arrest was
issued. The fact is also recited that
after the car had stopped the strikers
threw sticks and rocks at the windows,
breaking them.-News and Courier,

The Plague in China.

Washington. July 8.-Consul john
son. at Annoy. China, reports to the
Secretary Of State the appearance OF
plague at that place two weeks ear
lier than usual this year. His state
ment is dated May "a. He says he has
refused to permit Chinese steerage pas
sengers to depart for Manila and adds:
aThe spread Of plague during the
past ten day has been rapid and the
fatalities most appalling.
It is impossible to give approximate
" accurate data, as no statistics are
kept by the officials and no amount Of
inquiry can result in accurate figures.
It is my opinion, based upon the most
reliable data from native sources, that
during the week Just closed there were
as many as 100 deaths per day in
Annoy and its suburbs The same con-
dition of affairs exists in surrounding
cities within thirty miles of Annoy.

A decision important to all fratern]
benefit orders has been made by the
Kansas Court of Appeals A brothe,
suspended from lodge of the A. O.
q. W. for the non-payment Of an as
sessment died three days afterward.
The benefciaries brought suit, claim
ing thatit was the custom to accept
payment of assessment after they were
due and making no record of suspen-
sions. The court decided in favor OF
the lodge. upholding the laws of the
Order regarding suspensions. It also
decided that no subordinate lodge no1
officer thereof has the power by Gus
torn, directly or Indirectly, or in any
other way, to dispense with the posi-
tive requirements of the laws of the
Order.-Hoosier Watchman
We print the above for the good' y
of the members Of the many benefit
orders in Sumter. We believe it to be
good law, and that the same would
prevail in this State. Everyone knows
when an assessment is due and paya-
bic. If you wish to insure protection
for your loved ones don It wait for the
collector to call on you, but hunt him
upsand pay him promptly.

Cuban Constitutional Convention.

Havana, July The Cuban consti-
tutional convention has not yet arrived
at an understanding regarding the
electoral law Several meetings were
held last week but very little interest
was manifested in the proceedings,
many Of the delegates being absent.
The conservatives are quite hopeless
with respect to the resembling of the
universal suffrage clause and they are
now endeayoring to secure a plural
vote for property holders and for pro-
fessional men and business men. In
this they are strongly opposed by the
radicals.
An objection has recently been raised
aaginst drawing up the electoral law
until the United States government has
approved the constitution, the argu-
ment being that it would be useless to
draft laws based upon the constitution
if Washington is going to make
changes in this instrument.
