ony and EmbezzIement.

Brunswick, Ca, April 4.-The May term
of the Superior Court. from present indi-
cations, will be one of the most sensa-
tional in Glynn county's history.
Among the four cases to be tried in
which public interest is at fever heat, is
that of H. Fl. Harvey, ex-treasurer of
Brunswick. Mr.. Harvey is charged with
the defalcation of something over $4,000.

Franklin, both of whom are able lawyers.
Mr.. Harvey villa make plea of not guilty.
and says he is willing to abide by the
verdict of any twelve men in this county
For a number of years Mr.. Harvey was
the political leader of this city, and when
he found that there was a shortage in
his accounts he Immediately notified the
City Council and after an examination OF
his books, it was found that this short
age amounted TO something over $4,000.
This caused a great sensation here, and
was the sole topic of conversation for a
long time.
The next two cases to be tried are those
of Mr.. j. NJ. Madden and Mr.. A. H. Lane
charged with wrong-doing in connection
with the failure of the Merchants and
Traders Bank. The former was president
OF this institution, and the latter cashier.

has resided in Valdosta, where he is IN
the wholesale business.
Then comes the case of Mr.. ]. L. Beach,
charged with embezzlemeut, in connec-
ton with the bonds of Glynn county. Mr..
Beach wanted to be tried at the last term
of the Superior Court, but on account Of
the fact that the solicitor did not have
his case in shape, 1t was postponed to the
coming session The friends of Mr.. Beach
say ID is a case of political persecution,
and they feel certain that he will be vim
-dicated.
These four cases are being watched
with interest, and there is no doubt but
that standing room sign will have 20

From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun
The Rev. DR.. c. M. Hawkins, pastor of
Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church
South, used to be pastor of a church in
Kansas City, and says that on one occa-
sion he had rather an amusing experience
in marrying a young couple in that city.
1.-THE gentleman said DR.. Hawkins,
was a handsome, noble looking man,
the bride-to-be more than usually beau
.iful 1t was plain to be seen that the
prospective groom thought he had secur-
ed the one prize in all the matrimonial
market and was correspondingly elated.
Just before the ceremony the gentle
man handed me the marriage license to
see that 1t was all right inside the Ii
cense there was a crisp five-dolar note
placed there as the fee. The couple stood
up before the few witnesses in the par
lor the ceremony was gone through with
and they were pronounced husband and
wife. The first thing the new husband
did was to draw his wife to him and i'm
print fond kiss on her sweet lips. 1t
seemed to thrill him with unexpected Joy.
for Immediately turning 20 me, he said:
'Parson, I'll be switched if 1 paid you
enough for this job, and pulling from his
pocket another five-dolar note he thrust

sOr is BADLY WOunded.


Chicago, April "A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Newkrk, Okla, says:
Mrs. Ella Zeiglin and Mrs. Daughson
living near this city, fought a duel with
revolvers at twenty PAGES yesterday, and
Mrs. Zeiglin is now in a hospital danger
ously. but not necessarily fatally wound
ed. She is able to talk, and is anxious
TO recover that she may again fight Mrs.
Daughson.
The duel grew out of a long standing
feud between the women. jealousy being
the original cause Mrs. Daughson lives
a farm just south of the city and
Mrs. Zeiglin has frequently endeavored To
arouse the temper of her neighbor by va
rious means, the most etfectual being
the claim that she, Mrs. Zeiglin, could
take Mrs. Daughsons husband away
from his wife any time she wished. Mrs.
Doughson finally appealed to the courts
and yesterday forenoon Mrs Zeiglin was
fined $500 for trespassing upon the Daugh-
son property and melting trouble. AS
soon as she paid the fine Mrs. zeiSlin
drove to the Daughson home. Riding up
TO the door of the Daughsons she invited
her rival to come out and fight a duel.
Mrs. Daughson promptly accepted the
challenge and came out armed with re-
volver. The women then faced each other
at fifty feet and began shooting. Each
fired three shots without effect. Then
Mrs Daughon got the range and fired
two shots in quick succession, both strik-
ing Mrs. Zeiglin in the breast. She
fell and Mrs. Daughson assisted in car
rying her into the house where a physi-
clan dressed her wounds, after which she
was conveyed TO a hospital.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless II Ii Di-
gested.

Nearly everyone will admit that as a
nation we eat too much meat and too
little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, office men and clerks
and in fact everyone engaged in seden-
tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk
and vegetables are much more healthfu
Only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manuel labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and vege-
tables should constitute the bulk of food
eaten
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult OF digestion and II is OF no
use to advise brain workers 90 eat large
ly of grains and vegetables where the
digestion is too weak to assimate them
properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs. and several years experience
have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
TO be a very safe pleasant and effective
digestive and a remedy which may be
taken daily with the best results.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine. as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack. pep
sin diastase and by stimulating the gas-
trio glands increase the natural secretion
OF hydrochloric acid.
People who make a daily practice Of
taking one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets nfter each meal are sure 20 have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health.
There 81 no danger OF forming an intu-
rious habit ~ the tablets contain ALSO
lutely nothing but natural dlGesfiyfs, co.
caine. morphine and similar drugs have
no place Dog stomach medicine and Stu

ALACHUA's PHOSPHATE INDUSTRY
Many Mines shut Down Because of
Low Prices.

Gainesville, Fla, April 4.-The phos-
phate industry, which for the past few
years has been the most important in
Alachua county, giving employment to
an army of labor, has been temporarily
knocked into a cooked hat, owing, princi-
pally, to the prevailing unusually low
prices, caused by an over production of
the rock. In some instances, however,
operators have taken advantage to close
the plants for repairs, upon the compile
ton of which 1t is hoped operation will
be resumed.
In conversation with Col. 1. E. Webster,
who is connected with the phosphate de-
partment of Dutton & Co.'S interest, that
gentleman stated, that of the eight mines
controlled by the company, only four are
now in operation, while four have been
closed for repairs, which will require sixty
days yet to complete. The majority OF
the mines controlled by this company are
situated in the western part of the coun-
ty. Dutton & Co., are the largest indi-
vidual operators in the county.
Col. Webster stated that the prices on
phosphate had not been so low for years.
