LOSING FLESH.

Are you losing flesh? If
81, better consult your doctor
at once. He will tell you the
cause. We can provide the
remedy, which is SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil.
We have known persons to
gain pound a day, by taking
an ounce of the Emulsion.
A young woman in Batavia
writes us she had lost twenty
five pounds in three months,
and her lungs were seriously
affected. She took three bot
ties of SCOTS Emulsion and
gained fifteen pounds, and
was able to resume her work
1t will cure consumption in
the early stages. 1t is a re-
markable flesh producer.

PRONIScUOUs SHOOTING.

This morning at an early hour the
sharp report of pistol coming from
he old wooden exchange building
was heard and the bullet went sizz-
ing over mems heads as it crossed
Main street The bullet went
through the big show window of the
Iattiesburg Hardware co. aud
lodged in one Of the drawers behind
The counter BY its course one could
easily tell where it came from and
was at once traced to the window IN
the building mentioned above. The
officer called on the occupant for an
explanation. He stated that while
he was throwing back the cover on
his bed the pistol accidentally fell to
tile focr and the cartridge was eX-
ploded. Taking for granted that this
is true it would have been impossible
for the ballet to have gone out the
window Of the room, as it did, as the
hoor is mach lower than the window
and for it to have gone straight from
/ that window, an elevation of thirty
or forty degrees, and struck the
window Of the hardware house. If
on the other hand the pistol bad
been accidentally discharged on the
/ bed the ball would have gone on a
level ard struck the hardware house
some distance above the window.
There was no way fer the bullet to
have gone as it did unless the pistol
was in the hands of some one when
it was fired.
The Progress does not contend
however that it was not an accident
bat to call the attention of the
proper authorities to the fact that
too many of these accidents are
happening and they are happening
in places that make it exceedingly
dangerous to life. There is not {
night that many pistols are not free
off in the city limits and if there ha:
been an arrest made for such unlaw
full act the Progress failed TO hear O
it. Down in Yellow Pine Park anC
over in the quarters the firing o
pistols Is heard at most any hou
during the night and it is only
wonder that many persons have no
been sent to the happy hunting
grounds before now. The thini
should be stopped.

A PRETTY GOOD TAX wAD.

Revenue Agent Writ Adams has
lust turned into the treasury of Per-
~ county the sum of $5,257.98 as the
prorata coming TO the county from
the back taxes on the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad frsm 1851 to 1900.
This Is little more than the board
of supervisors calculated it wOnld he,
Though it had expected good large
sum.
Just what the board viii do with
the money is not yet known. 1t has
the power as it sees fit, and it was
expressed by the president of the
board some time ago, if the sum
reached over $4,000 it would be
used for the purpose of building
an office for the chancery clerk.
AS it has reached over So
600 it is very likely that the office
will be built out of the money. It'll
really q shame that heretofore the
offices of the chaneery and the
circuit clerk have been submerged
into one, giving two such cramping
position that it was with difficulty
that they cOuld perform their duties

another negro, John Guy, had some
thing to do with the murder and was
arrested on the charge and also sent

among themselves for some time
when the plot was made by the three
negroes now in Jail to put TO death

knocked in the head with an AK

Easy Cures BY Hot Water.

Heada che almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water
TO the feet and back of the neck.
A towel fol led, dipped IN hot water,
grung out quickly and applied over the
stomach acts like magic on cases of
collie.
A towel folded several times and dip
ped in hot water, quick y wrung out
and applied quickly over this seat of pain,
will in most cases, promptly relieve
toothAche and neuralgia.
A strip of flannel or towel folded sew
eral times lengthwise and dipped in hot
water, then slightly wrUng cut and ap
piled about the neck of child suffering
with an acute attack of Group. will
usually relieve the sufferer in the course
Of ten 1inutes if the flannel is kept hot.
Hot water. if taken freely half hour
before bedtime, is one of the best posi-
Die cathartics in severe cases Of consti-
patton. while it has soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels.
There is no domestic remedy that sc
promptly cuts short congestion of the

will hot water when applied promptly

CHAFFEE SEES DATTos.
Has \ Most Satisfactory Interview
With Them.

Manila, May lS.-Gen. Chaffee re-
turned here today from Lake Lanao, in
the interior of the island OF Mindanao.
He said he saw several Moro dattos
while there and had most satisfactory
interviews with them. Nearly all the
dattos and especially the surviving sui
tans, claim TO entertain friendly feel
ings toward the United States
In view OF a cablegram, which Gen.
Chaifee received today from Gen. Davis,
who is In command OF the American
force In Mindanao and In which It APP
pears that DRtto Ruty has apparently
refused TO return the animals he cap
tured from the American army, Gen.
Chaffee is not prepared TO say that
there will be no more fighting in Min
danao.
Gen. Davis reports that Datto Ruty
says he is ready TO fight, but Gen. Chat
fee believes that although II may be
necessary TO bring this datto to terms,
his resistance Of the American forces
must necessarily be slight.
Datto Ruty's forts are situated on a
high hill. They could be surrounded by
a line OF American skirmlshers, who
would prevent the datto from obtaining
water and who could thus force a prac-
tically bloodless victory in a few days
