CATARRH OF KIDNEYS

when his attention was called to Pc
runa. What would have been the re-
suit had he continued suffering on and
fooling away precious time with other

proved fatal.
Peruna is a sure cure for incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
in the early stages of this disease it
cures permanently. Bright's disease
always begins with catarrh Of the kid

Murdered-Other News Notes.
Thomasville, Ca, Sept. 1S.-Silas
Washington, a well-to-do negro, who
lived in the southeastern part of the
county, was found dead on his farm
and near his home Monday morning
with five bullet holes in his body, made
by Winchester rifle. All the circum-
stances pointed to Jim Williams, a SON
in-law of the dead man, as the perpe-
traitor of the deed, and he was arrested
by the neighbors and turned over to tho
sheriff. The coroner's inquest pro-
nounced the killing murder and charged
Williams with the deed. The murdered
man was well thought of by whites and
blacks, while Williams has an unsav-
DRY reputation. He is brother of the
Williams who recently murdered the
deputy sheriff of Jefferson county, Flor
ida, and who himself was killed in a
desperate effort to escape from his
keepers.
Rev. J. B. K. Smith is sojourning a
awhile in Thomasville. He has recently
been appointed assistant adjutant gem
eral on the staff of Gen. West, u. c. ",
with the rank of major.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA,
The Dise.tine Element Left out.

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t eff
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestin6s, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when IT
is subjected to the saliva and to the
pancreatic juices in the human intes-
tines.
This diastase Is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn 1t into grape
sugar, which is the next form: but
that part of the wheat berry makes
dark -four, and the modern miller can
not readily sell dark -four, so natures
valuable digestor is thrown out and
the human system must handle the
starch as best II can, without the help
that Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist, when we go so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-N Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use, in their expert
ments, Of the entire wheat and barley
including all the parts. and subjected
them TO moisture, and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
fromed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces Of
Grape Nuts. The food, therefore, is
naturally pre-digested. and its use In
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
- a.
food. and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The effect OF eating Grape Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the dlcontin-
uance of ordinary white bread Is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and meantal
health.

STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER.

Through nlnen, But Tin workers
Agree to Continue Strike Indefi-
niteIy.
Pittsburg, Sept 1s.-The steel strike
is practically over at all the mills In
this district, but the tin plate plants.
The tin workers are still dissatisfied
and refuse to go to work pending fur
Their information from the Amalgamat-
ed officials. All the mills at McKees-
port except the Boston Rolling Works
were running nearly full to-day, and
the same conditions prevailed in this
city at Painters, Lindsay & McCutch-
con and the Clark plants. The Anal
gamated headquarters were almost de-
serted to-day. President Shaffer was
absent, and it was stated that the
strain of the last few days had affected
his health, forcing him to rest.
At meeting to-day of striking tin
workers from the Star and the
Monagehela plants, at which 500 we're
present, it was decided by unanimous
vote to repudiate the New York agree.
ment and continue the strike indefi-
nitely. Failing to hear from President
Shaffer on the terms of the settlement,
representatives of the two lodges con-
ferred with j. r. Phillips, district
manager for the American Tin Plate
Company. The terms offered by Mr..
Phillips, the men claim, mean a big
reduction in tonnage rates, while the
output is greatly increased. This is
accomplished by putting the two plants
on the Monessen system, which pro-

At the session of the sovereign lodge
the degree of chivalry was conferred
on number of chevaliers. Represent
atives Dilcher and Walker of New
York offered a resolution, which was
referred to the Committee on Patri-
archs Militant, setting forth the fact
that considerable disapprovaI of the
ritual of the Patriarchs Militant has
existed since it was revised by the ses-
sion of 1897 and declaring that it is the
general desire that the ritual now in
use be revised and modified so as to
more nearly conform to the old ritual.
Under the resolution a special commit
tee is to be appointed to examine into
the matter and ascertain and report to
the grand body whether just cause ex-
lists for such disapproval and whether
it be advisable to revise the ritual.

QUEER WAYS OF FISHING.

with a Steam Pump, With Esplo-
sives, with BulIets--Other I'm
sportsmanIiIxe Devices.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
Some little time ago some scientists,
engaged in series of experiments in
respect to the interesting question of
water as a sound conductor, quite by
accident hit upon an altogether novel
method of fish capture. One of their
tests necessitated the exploding I'M
der water of small charge of gum
cotton, which was carried out with
surprising results, not the least of
which was the discovery on rowing
TO the spot representing the center
of the explosion that thirty-two roach
were floating on the surface, a catch
that puts into the most outrageous
shade the feat of a Yarmouth steam
drifter who opened the midsummer
herring fishing the other day with a
haul of no less than two behring's,
the result of a nights fishing, a re-
suit that is only one degree worse
than that of the steam drifter Lave
rock, that returned to the same port
last March after her maiden herring
trip. with a catch of 500 herrings which
yielded los. 10d.
Should trout stalking ever become
fashionable the followers of the new
method of angling, to use a word that
will find itself obsolete very soon after
the first salmo fario is captured
through the agency of a Mauser, will
have to thank Italy for the hint, and
more particularly Maj. Michelini. who,
when experimenting with the italian
army rife with view to discovering
x.,bathay the HIGH vaIocitX Of the hull
let would give rise to a powerful ex-
plosive effect. fired into water at an
angle of As degrees, and was imme-
diately rewarded by a dead fish rising
TO the surface. AS the fish showed
no outward sign of having come into
contact with the bullet, the presump-
ton was that its death was brought
about entirely by the hydraulic shock
arising from the impact of the missile
with the water. Undoubtedly. should
this method of fishing be generally
adopted, the fishermans conversation
will lose much of it's picturesdueness,
for no longer will the merits OF the
BLACK Palmer" Grouse and Green"
or SILVER Dun" be discussed, but
those of the 1903 magazine rifle and the
6.5 millimeter rife will give rise TO
many a heated argument that had
heretofore as its object the settling
of such knotty points as the right
species of fly to use in certain waters.
