M. D.. Of this place. in an open letter
makes the following startling state
ment:
II had Diabetes with all its worst
symptoms. applied every remedy
known to the profession. as we'll as
every prescription suggested in our
books. In spite Of all. was dying
and I knew 1t.
"As a last resort. and with scarce
ly any faith whatever, I commenced
taking Dodd's Kidney Pills. In one
week saw a great Improvement. After
I had taken FIVE boxes, was sound
and we'll. This is ten months ago
and I have not taken any medicine OF
any kind since, and am convinced that
my cure is a permanent one.
"As practicing physician with
years Of experience, most positively
assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best medicine in the world today, for
Diabetes or any other Kidney Disease.
Since using them myself, have used
them in many cases in my practice.
and they have never failed.
81 am making this statement as a
professional man, after having made a
most thorough test Of Dodd's Kidnov
Pills, and because feel 1t my duty
the public and to my profession :
brethren. The truth can never hu
anyone, and what have said is the
absolute truth"
R. H. DUNAWAY, M. D.
1t is no wonder that the public are
enthusiastic over this new medicine,
when our leading physicians them
selves, are being won over to its use.

Insects must be looked upon "a
among our best friends and worst enc
mics. Some insects are instrumental
in the spread of the pollen by which
certain plants are fertilized, and they
are thus important factors, not only in
identifying cur surroundings. but SO
in the economics Of the country. Des-
troy all the bees and you will destroy
one of the important forage plants
namely, clover. Other insects are in
furious to plants or animals. 1t Is.
estimated. for instance, that certain
flies cause an annual loss of about
$50, 900, 900 to the cattle industry OF
the United States.
Other insects are active in the dis
semination of disease germs. A GER
tain mosquito in Italy is the normal
carrier of malady which causes that
country $4,000 deaths and about 3,000,-
900 Of disease per year. When we con-
slider the aggregate human suffering in
volved and the economic losa brought
about by this mosquito or Imagination
is almost staggered.

dragging the woman along the road to
a place where she was to be killed. Mr.
LeMay threatened to put out the eyes
of every man that would lend hand
to such a diabolical plot. and this put
a stop to the practice. They shrunk
from him. and he has never heard OF
the law being enforced from that time.
The natives are inveterate gamblers.
He made ruling some time ago that
they could gamble only once month
and seeing that that would not do he
changed it and made 1t once week,
the day after pay day, so that the ma
tives could get rid of-all the money
that they earned. He does not explain
the game that the natives play.
No Twilight In This Island.
He says that they go out into the
woods and gamble most of the night.
There Is no twilight in the Island OF
Ceram. The sun rises at a. m. and
sets at s p. m, and there Is daylight
and darkness almost in the twinkling
of an eye. The island Is on the equa-
tor. The temperature never gets be-
low 70 nor above So, and during his
stay there he has never been sick. He
boils all of the water that he drinks. is
careful of what he eats and has taught
the natives to do the same thing, there
thereby reducing the number of fevers.
Pearls and precious stones are found In
abundance. Not long ago one ship left
the island, carrying 100000 worth OF
pearls and fine shells. Two men were
killed by sharks in gathering the con-
signment. Ceram is also near Banda
island, where most of the nutmegs
used on the old continent come from.

STRANGELY CHRISTENED.
Family Called Million with First Names
Running from One to Ten.

washington Lottery
The list of names in connection with
the subscription to the three per cent
bonds says an old official of the treas
ury department, surpasses anything in
the way of popularity that have ever
observed OF these the one that struck
me most was a man who signed him
self Ten Million and who resides out
in Oregon. We thought the name was
an imaginative one and wrote the man
that it was desired that bonds should
be registered in real names only, and
that no further attention would be
paid to his subscription until he was
heard from. He replied that his name
was Ten Million. His letter was writ
ten on the printed letter head of the
firm Of Million G. Million, two brothers.
Then followed an explanation that his
father and mother were unable to Sc
lect names for their children that were
mutually satisfactory and that. as a
result, though they had 10 children,
none of them was ever christened
formally. The first child was a
girl and she was known only as One
Million. The second child also girl.
was known as Two Million. Thus they
range along, until Ten Million was
reached, and he was the writer of the
lstter, the other member of the firm
being a brother whose only name as far
as the family was concerned was Seven
Million, the seventh child. He added
that One Million had afterward called
herself Una Million, that the third
girl was known after she had grown
up as Trio Million. The others had
taken on additions to their names and
he had adopted the name Of TENS Mil
lion, but his real name was Ten Mil
lion and nothing else. The bonds were
issued to him, and today stand on the
books of the treasury department reg
istered in the name of Ten Million.
Peculiar names in connection with
the same subscription came in from
other cities, and though kept notes OF
some of them l cannot recall all OF
them now. An instance, John 7. For

his services in the interests OF the

headquarters at Amsterdam. The Is
land of Ceram is being developed by
this society, and when Mr.. LeMay ar

miles from New Guinea and Borneo. no

and many has he been called upon to
settle. Mr.. LeMay expects to return
to America The persons he represents

1900 year to remain. but he Will re-

He has built bridges in the island,
made good roads, planted bananas and
other fruits and has done much toward
elevating the heather about him and
lettering their condition. He has been
compelled to imprisOn some and pun

learned to fear him, yet by the man

reverence him, for they bring him
presents on all occasions, and every
native in the island takes his hat on

Some fall on their knees and worship
him. Mr.. LeMay employs 200 natives
in the various enterprises in which
he is associated for ne Dutch company
and he pays his laborers twenty cents

Que of the largest hunting parties
that WAS ever gotten up in East Carroll
left town last Tuesday, equipped with
everything TO have first class hunt
aud to have first class time, and no
doubt killed plenty Of deer, 'opossurns
and coops. The party was composed
of Capt. Charles Potter. in charge of
this U. S. district; Capt. A. G. Dill
laham, Commander of the 10th Light
House District; Capt. Wilson, of the
U s. steamer Joseph Henry; Judge
F. X. Ransdell and Mr.. E. J. Hamley
who got up the big hunt, and Nessrs.
w. S. Brown, j. w. Crump, E. f.
Guenard, j. S. Guensrd aud Rev. G.

Messrs. James Beard and VIC. McRae
went out to join the party.
We haven't heard whether any OF
the hunters were freed by bear or
that wild cat made any of them take
the "back track" or not.
The gentlemen had several first class
deer hunters along aud two or three
packs of hounds, and as the woods are
full of deer. we are looking for good
reports from the crowd. Buck azure
no doubt crawled over some OF them
just about the time that the deer came
iu sight.
The party had to break camp
Thursday evening and return on &C.
count of disagreeable and rainy
weather. What luck thew met with
we did not learn.

One of the most horrible deaths
that ever happend in our parish. oc-
Cured in town on Wednesday morning
last. when colored man was burned
to death. His name is Henry Coates,
from Gilfoil's plantation IN Madison
parish, and followed levee camp here.
Last Tuesday, sometime during the
night, Coates crossed the levee in front
of town and built fire near the old
cold barge, and while asleep no doubt
bis clothes cought on fire, for when
discovered Wednesday morning his
clothes were burned entirely of. His
right arm aud left leg we're burned
almost to a crisp, and the flesh was
merely hanging to the bones, while
his back was also horribly burned
Some of the levee negroes say that be
was subject to epileptie fits, and that
be may have fallen In the fire while in
one of them.
| Shortly after the poor man was dis
covered large crowd of colored peo-
pie eongregated, and il is said that not
one of them would put their hands on
him 20 remove the poor suffering
creature from the fire, where he was
sill burning, and that be remained
there until some white men arrived
and pulled him away from it. This
does not speak we'll for these colored
people who were there sometime be-
fore he was removed, and perhaps
could have saved him several minutes
OF horrible torture and suffering; but
they did nothing, except to stand and
look on.
Marshal Peek had the man moved
to the town lookup Immediately
where everything was done TO relieve
his suffering. AT 10 O'Clock Coates
died.
