DR.. R. G. Young and Charles Mul
hearin, well known farmers living
about nine miles east of Lexington OF
the Lexington aud Marshall road,
got into an alteration over a division
fence Tuesday afternoon in a grocery
store at Higginsville, and in the fight
which followed Mulhearin was stabbed
in the abdomen with a pocket knife,
The blade passed through into the
peritoneal cavity, resulting in a wound
which may prove fatal. DR.. Young
was arrested, but was released on
bond Of ST. 300
DR.. R.. c. Young is a nephew Of the
late DR.. G. W, Young, Of this city,
He was educated at the old Masonic
College and the Jefferson Medical
College, Pennsylvania.
Charles Mulhearin has been a cit
izen Of this county for many years, a
good citizen, interested 10 public
affairs and bearing a reputation above
%reproach.
The affair is much to be lamented,
and while the reports Of the clrcum-
stances of the quarrel are too con-
ficting to attempt to fix the blame,
the good name Of the county, and
community suffers whenever men OF
such standing resort to such VIC
lence to settle private disputes

Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full Of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in

MESSAGES WITHOUT WIRES.
Remarkable Success of Weather Blu
reau's Experiments.

Norfolk, Va, April 26.--The wireless
biography tests at Roanoke Island to-
day were the most important since the
experiments began four days ago. 1t
was a test of an American system of
wireless teiegraphy. This system has
been perfected by Reginald A. Fessen-
den, working under the direction of
Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather
Bureau.
These experiments have been going
on for two years at intervals, but not
until to-day was it established be-
yond doubt that by the new system
wireless messages can be
sent to vessels at sea for a distance of
over 200 miles.
Fairly good results were obtained
several months ago, but Prof. Fessen-
den did not wish to make the result
public or have any tests witnessed by
others than government officials until
the details of his system were suffi-
GENTLY developed to prove beyond ques-
ton that it could be relied upon to
work under any and all conditions of
weather, al all seasons of the year.
night and day.
These conditions have been reached,
and Prof. Fessenden invited the rep
resentatives of the government to wit
ness his test. The test to-day was
observed by Gen. A. w. Greedy and
CAPT. Russell of the Signal Corps of
the army, both of whom were very en-
thusiastic over the results, and by
Lieuts. Beecher and Hudgins, who
were present as representatives of Ad-
miral Bradford, chief of the Bureau of
Equipment of the Navy.
The government has a testing station
at Weer Point on the northeast shoals
of Roanoke Island, and another about
seven miles west of Cape Hatteras.
The two stations are SO miles apart
The intervening points are on Pamlco
sound, which at this season of the year
is fresh and not nearly so good for the
transmission of wireless messages as
salt water. The tests made
by Prof. Fessenden show that
the energy required for sue
cessful transmission over such
brackish water is about thirty-six
times greater than over salt water I'M
der the same conditions. AT each sta
ton a mast 145 feet high is erected for
carrying arrival wires, which consist of
five copper wires, strung twelve inches
apart. The transmitting apparatus con-
sists of the usual inductive coil, COM
mon with other systems of wireless
telegraphy. but the receiving apparatus
is altogether different from that used
in other systems.
This part of Prof. Fessenden's in
vention is for the present kept pro-
fundly secret, although the workings
were exhibited to the experts present
at to-day's tests. A telephone received
is employed and a remarkable fact is
that messages. can be sent and received
as rapidly as by land wires, and with
far greater rapidity than by cable.
In to-day's tests messages were sent
at a rate of thirty words per minute,
and this is by no means the possible
limit. Prof. Fessenden says that with
a skilled operator fifty or possibly as
many as seventy words per minute can
be sent

Discord in Ranks of Veterans Re-
duced Attendance at Brunswick.
Hon. Albert Cox the Orator.
Brunswick. Ga, April 26.-Memorial
Day was appropriately observed in this
city, the most important feature being
the unwilling of the Confederate monu-
ment, erected to the memory of the
dead veterans, and about which there
has been so much discord in the ranks
of the veterans. The camp did not turn
out their full force to-day on account
of the split at the meeting Wednesday
night, and, for the first time in many
years, the appearance of Judge Horace
Dart was missed as a commander of
the old warriors.
The memorial address was delivered
by Hon. Albert Cox of Atlanta. Han
over park was crowded with citizens
and his address was greatly enjoyed.
He was introduced by Hon. Edwin
Brobston.
After the unwilling of the monument
the parade proceeded to Oak Grove
Cemetery, where the Brunswick Rifle
men fired the usual volley over the
graves of the Confederate dead. The
parade was then dismissed and each
company drilled over the city for quite
a while.
This is the first time the Brunswick
military has all participated in a pa
rade since the reorganization of the
companies, and they made an excellent
appearance. The Rifiemen, who were
about to be disbanded at one time,
are now in a flourishing condition and
were out in full force to-day under the
new officers, Capt L. A Robinson and
Lieuts. j. P. Twomey and H. C. Pear
son.

Attorney General Comforting with
District Attorney Bethea at Chi
cagO.
Chicago, April 26.-William A. Day,
assistant to Attorney General Knox, and
special counsel to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. arrived in Chicago
to-day to confer with District Attor
ney S. H. Bethea. relative to taking ac-
ton against the so-called beef trust.
Mr.. Day said he did not bring with
him the application for an injunction
which the Attorney General had or
dered filed against the packing firms of
Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nelson.
Morris & Co, G. H. Hammond Pack
ing Company, Cudahy Packing Com
pany and the Schwarzchild & Suls-
berger Company. Further, he said, no
bills would be filed by him to-day. The
matter of the investigation, he said.
had been placed entirely in the hands
of District Attorney Bethea.
Attorney Day said:
Il want to correct a misconception
of my position in this case. l am here
merely as the representative OF Attor-
ney General Knox. District Attorney
Bethea is to have sole charge of the
prosecution. l have rot authority TO
direct his actions, but merely to con-
vey to him certain instructions of his
superiors in Washington as to the out
line of the bills. l have also brought
some additional evidence which l Sc
cured in New York. This will be sifted
by him, and will be used to supplement
his proof of the existence of a meat
trust / do not think the bills will be
drawn hurriedly as they must stand
the severest scrutiny of some of the
best corporation lawyers. For this
reason care must be taken to with
stand the assaults of a demurrer. l
have no authority to say anything con-
corning the evidence l have secured.
1t is sufficient to state
that the Attorney General hasappfov-
ed of the proofs secured by Mr.. Be-
thea and myself and unless he was
certain that we had strong evidence
to support the applications for injune-
ton under the Sherman antitrust act
he would not have ordered the prose-
cution started at this time"
AS soon as the bills are ready for
PENDANTS. Thirty to fifty days will be
allowed to file answers or demurrers.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
center of the governments action
against the packers will be Chicago
and if any bills are to be filed at New
York it will be later.

TO DETECT POISONS.
The Body Tries to sweat Them on

The Body Tries to Sweat Them Out.
At a convention of medical men in
st. Louis the effects of coffee drinking
were carefully considered. 1t was unan-
imously agreed that while coffee does
not seem to injure some persons, to
others 1t is a rank poison. The effect
on different persons is, of course, very
different. In some the heart is affec-
ted, in others the kidneys. again the
stomach or bowels, or the eyes, and
in nervous cases the prostration is
spread over the whole body.
AS an illustration, a man in Hinton,
w. Va, experienced well defined symp-
toms of poisoning from coffee. He says:
Il used coffee great many years with
no apparent i'll effects, but about nine
eyears ago l began being sick. / became
dull, lost my ambition, had dizziness,
my eyesight was very bad and kept
geeting worse, and al times l could
hardly navigate at all. 1 felt l was
going to fall every minute, and finally
became so bad l would have to sit
down and rest three or four times in
a distance of twice that many blocks
II went from one physician to an
other and faithfully took their pre-
scriptions, but the case was so complex
that they could not successfully dag
nose it. l finally went to New York

perspiration would break out all over
the palms of my hands. and my hair
would be wringing wet, every nerve
in the body would be affected and my
my heart would jump and beat at a
fearful rate. This condition would
generally last for two hours. What /
suffered no one can understand.
ut finally came to me that these
terrible sweats and spasms were just
the same as in cases where people are
the poison through the pores. So con-
cluded that something l was taking
must act like poison, and l decided it
was coffee. / left it off one morning
and had a fearful headache all day, a
