 Several days ago he was reading pa- per and came across an article relating to the crime. He at once began 10 act queerly and said to the jaller that he knew he was in Jail for having something to do with his wife's death, but did not know he was charged with killing her.
 Show confessed to a number of people at the time of the deed and said he was gorry the attempt to commit suicide failed.
 There Is a difference of opinion as to whether or not the man Is insane. He has been acting very queerly of late and seems for the first time since the crime to be disturbed about the awful charge against hm.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE AND THEN HIMSELF Awful Work of Dr.. Aiken, Prom inent Specialist of
 Savannah, Ga.

Savannah, February H.-Dr. w. F. Aiken leading specialist, shot and killed his wife in their bedroom at an early hour this morning. The report of the pistol awakened their little son, aged years In his night clothes and bare footed, the child ran in the street to call a policeman. When the officer entered the house he found Mrs Aiken dead on the bed, with bullet hole through her head, and Dr. Aiken, with pistol in his hand, lying on the floor dead. After shooting his wife he had placed the weapon to his own head and sent bullet through his brain. The child said that he had heard his father count, lone, two and three'' and then the pistol shot.
 Dr. Aiken was about 3s years old and a graduate of Yale. He married Miss An ma K. Potter, daughter of Rev., A. c. Potter of New Bedford. Mass.
 The Rev. MT. Potter was close per- sonal friend of Ralph Waldo Elmer son.
 No cause for the tragedy was devel- oped at the inquest. It was brought out that Dr. Aiken was a cigarette smoker to excess, and that he was of a nervous temperament. Two weeks or so ago he had to have the services of phy- sicians in what was believed to be mor- phfne poisoning. Lately his friends had noticed an extreme abstraction of ir- ritability.
 Dr. Aiken was devoted to science. and was an inventor of some note He is the originator of many opthamalogical in struments that are now in common use all over the country. He refused to pat ent his invention. saying that they were for the benefit of mankind

Mobile and Ohio did not parallel the Southern; that it's North and South line crossed the Southerns east and west lines twice at right angles, and that in stead of curtailing competition, 1t really extended the competition of the Southern Railway as against other railways In the State of Mississippi. It was also shown that 1t had never Been the policy of the Southern Railway Company to carry dead ends or unworked lines; that every mile of track was worked for all that it was worth, and that 1t was In this spirit that the Southern desired to enter Missis- sippi. The plea was so straightforward and convincing that the commission unanimously dismissed its action against the Southern.
 To the people of Georgia, to whom the working of the Southern system is so well known, the action of the Mississippi com mission is no surprise. Ten years ago the anti-rairoad spirit in Georgia ran very high. Since that time the Southern under the presidency of MT. Spencer, has dealt so fairly with the people, and has so promptly met every local enterprise, that this feeling has completely disap- peared Other railroads have co-operated, and all past antagonism has disappeared. This is true not only of the political fea- ture, but of the appeals to State Railroad Commissions on important issues.
 Mississippi, therefore, Is to be congrat- ulated upon its determination to encour- age rather than antagontze the develop ment in that State of the business and the broad and liberal spirit of the South ern Railway.

MINER KILLED IN
 PECULIAR MANNER Was Struggling With Negro at CoaIdaIe When He Fell Over
 Embankment

Coaldale Feb. N.-(Special )-George Fairley, a white miner, who worked at this place, injured himself Saturday last in a manner which resulted in his death yesterday.
 Saturday was pay day for the mines and brick plant at Coaldale, and a large number of the employees were drunk, in- cluding Fairley and his brother, Rob- ert. The latter became involved in a fight with Peter Powell a negro miner. George Farley interferred in behalf of his broth CT, rushing at the negro with a drawn knife. The negro and Fairley clinched on small but very steep embankment on the side of the railroad, Fairley losing his footing and falling about ten feet, striking headforemost on the rail of the track. His head was burst by the fall, the fracture extending from his right eye to back of left ear. The negro es- capped.

cONTAGION AND INFECTION. LaGrippe Is Infectious But Not Con-
 tauIous.

Contagious diseases are communicated from, one person to another; infectious diseases are conveyed through the air.
 smallpox is & contagious disease; La Crime is infectious. When an epidemic of the grip Is prevailing 1t Is In the air we breathe and no one Is safe
 The only safeguard Is to keep the sys- tenn in the highest possible condition Of health and on the first appearance of a cold in the head to use some safe anti septic like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets free lv. A. tablet taken every hour or two for a couple of days will be sufficient to break up the attack.
 La Grippe attacks the weakest part of the system, 1t may be the lungs, heart liver, stomach or kidneys, but wherever it finally locates 1t almost invariably starts with cold in the head and throat or in other words. the disease al the pe- ginning is acute catarrh.
 This is the reason Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets have been so successful in breaking up attacks of grip. The antlseptic prop critics of the remedy destroy the germs before the whole system Is thoroughly infected.
 Dr. Anniston says: Stuart's Catarrh Tablets being free from cocaine and harmful drugs, should be freely used at this time of year on the first appear ance of grip symptoms.
 They check the excessive catarrhal se- cretions. stop the fever and prevent pneumonia.
 They are composed of antiseptics and may be used by little children as freely as by adults and with great benefit
 Dr. Lewiston says: My usual prescrip- ton for the grip Is Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets which can be found at all drug stores, keep to the house for a day or two and use the tablets freely, and I have rever heard any complaint of failure to cure.

Frank Stafford, night foreman at the iron foundry, it seems was reproving a negro employee by the name of Joe Hogan for not doing certain work as he was directed when the latter re- sented it with an oath, whereupon both pulled their revolvers and in the fusilade that followed Hogan was shot twice through the shoulders. The shooting oc- cured while the foundry men were quit ting work and In the midst of large crowd that had gathered around the of- flee where the men register. AS the me- gro started to run, after having emptied his gun, others took part and 1t Is thought that the bullets that were effect i've did not come from StaffordPs gun. It was not known until tonight that Hogan had been wounded, as he man. aged to escape from the crowd, that gave pursuit this afternoon, and was found hiding in the coke ovens quarters await ing the arrival of a physician, which he had summoned. Stafford was arrested, but afterwards released on one hundred dollars bond Hoaan's wound will not likely prove fatal
