WITH ONE LOAD OF SHOT.
in-Law, Wounded Another and Hit
a Girl in the Head.

Brunswick, Ga, June "a serious
difficulty between negroes took place
early this morning near Thalmann, a
station on the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham Railroad, in which one was
killed and two others wounded.
The row started yesterday afternoon
when a general family quarrel arose
over a misplaced paddock This morn
ing the feud was renewed and George
Williams, with one shot from his shot
gun, instantly killed Azier Dickens, his
son-in-law, and wounded another ne
gro man named Jackson, also his SON.
in-law, while young colored girl who
was visiting the family was also hit
in the head.
Williams then made threats that he
would kill anyone who attempted to
arrest him. The trouble was tele-
graphed to Brunswick and Deputy
Sheriff Pyles with two or three con-
stables left for the scene of the diff
ficulty, but when they arrived Will
liams had left the scene three or four
hours and although a thorough search
was made through the woods no trace
of him could be found.
The affair caused much excitement
among the other negroes of the settle
ment, and they were much wrought
up. Another search will probably be
made for Williams tomorrow.

church. But whoever heard Of bad
man being taken while fishing?
This indisputable moral fact should
give comfort alike to those who believe
that bad men never go fishing and to
those who will be glad to believe that
there is at least one way for bad men
to be safe.
However, even IL it were possible for
a bad man to fish, it is not possible for
him to be bad while he fishes. The
man who fishes cannot conceivably
harbor Ill thoughts of his fellow man
or of his fellow woman. He does not
desire any ones property except Nep-
tunes. He does not desire money. for
money is powerless to swap the simple
judgment of fish as to the quality of
worms. He is busted in a far more
noble pursuit than that Of working for
gain. He is after fish. In those SUI
prcme and royal hours In a boat or on
the banks of stream there Is no
dream for him except fish.
Covered with a richer gold than ever
came out Of the mines of earth, the sea
runs toward the sum- touched with a
truer delight than ever dwelled In pal
aces, the wind creeps in from the wide
spaces of oceans unconfined; happier
| than King Edward and all the other
kings sits the man. And his soul is
serene, and his brain does not work at
all. and his nose is nobly sunburned
and shines as a tower against the sky,
and he is full of kindness, and II is a
world well lost.

Portland, Ore, June 9.-Members Of
the Supreme Lodge of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen are here for
their annual meeting, which begins to-
morrow and continues for ten days.
The A. o. U. w. is the original frater-
nal cooperative association in Amer
lea, was organized by John Jordan Up
church in August, 1868, and now num-
bers over 100000 members. The SUI
preme Lodge is composed of represent
tatives from all the States and Terri
tories and several of the Canadian
provinces.
The question of most vital Importance
to come up before the present meeting
Is the proposal to advocate the rates
of insurance over the age of So. About
six years ago the order revised the plan
adopting step rate, and making the
initial rate UP to 25 years, $120 a month
per 81, 900 and the top limit SS.55, for all
ages above so. 1t is now proposed to
raise the rate for over So years to be-
tween $3.50 and $4.75. The increase is
necessitated by the fact that the order
is accommodating liabilities which 1t can
not meet under the present plan. Inc
statistics show that while the year 19Ol
was entered into with surplus of $4O'-
900. and the amount paid into the re-
PNef fund was 1875, 900, the losses
amount to over $1.OO0000, and 1t took
the assessments Of two of the months
of 1900 to finish up the debts.

THE EAST COAST WATERWAYS.
Decided improvements Being Made
in FIOrida's Inside Routes.

st. Augustine, Fla. June 9.-Mr.
George F. Miles, general manager of
the Florida East Coast Canal Company.
returned from Charleston, yesterday,
bringing the information that he had
purchased two powerful dipper dredges
to assist in the rapid cutting of the
canal between the Matanzas and Hall
fax rivers, a distance of some twenty
eight miles, which will give to coast
ing crafts of under five feet draft a
safe inland water way from st. Angus
tine to Biscayne Bay.
Mr.. Miles has for some weeks had
the United States dredge Swaine deep
ening the canal between the Halifax
river and Jupiter. including the whole
length of the Indian river, and the
company's other dredge ineputting the
southern end of the canal from Lake
Worth to Miami in, perfect condition.
Mr.. Miles also states that he is now
negotiating for another Charleston
dredge to cut the canal north of st.
Augustine by way of Pablo creek to
Mayport, which, when opened, will
give an uninterrupted inland water
way from Cumberland sound to Key
Largo, the extreme end of the Florida
Peninsula.
The great demand for land along the
east coast makes the canal a neces-
sity to truck growers.

NOTHING But OXYGEN.
what Residents of Niagara Falls
May Soon breathe.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Niagara Falls, June THE fact that
a company with capital of 81 900, 900
has been organized to manufacture va
rious products out of the nitrogen of
the air in this vicinity is beginning to
lead to considerable speculation as to
just how this process will affect the
locality and its residents.
When a large percentage of the nitro
gen is withdrawn from the air to make
food stuffs and fertilizers the proper
ton of oxygen will be materially in
creased. Then the breathing of the
oxygen will have a tendency to in
crease the pulse beatA and then the
locality all about wiz be one vast
pleasure spot.
The songs. the laughter and the
dance will help to make merry, and all
under the influence of the intoxicant
will feel that life Is we'll worth living
and living long.
No longer Will there be ueed for the
wine. the beer and Canada's best to In
crease hilarity. Lockport people will
come from their common air resort to
the field of the Niagara oxygen TO
throw off their blue spells.
Instead of seeking the resorts about
Olcott the travel will turn to Niagara
Niagara, the place where the people
will alwsya be joyous, laughing and
merry. The Niagara hackman will
never then speak unkindly to those
who refuse to ride, and cross words
will be things of the past.
Even the intimation of this COM
panys intentions to transform Niagara
may have an early effect upon men
who, long have declined to become Gu
pid's victims, and they will soon do as
others have done before them.
Really, there is no telling but what
gifts of hot air" may become fact at
Niagara between friend and friend, and
these hot air" gifts may signify some
thing far different from the indefinite
and attenuated article which now APP
propriates the name.
When the transformation comes. the
visitor to Niagara will start on a real
bender" as soon as he drinks in the
atmosphere. and it is likely that to So
erap the outpouring crowds from the
Niagara region the steam roads and
the electric lines will erect great
chambers into which the cars will be
run.

Contracted FOR OIL TANKS.
Southern Pacific Will Use the New
Fuel ON ITS Big system.

San Francisco, Cal. June 9.-The
Southern Pacific has let contracts for
the construction along its lines OF
eight oil tanks with a capacity of TO-
900 to 81. 900 barrels each in connection
with its conversion of locomotives from
coal to oil-burning machines. Besides
the eight large tanks the company also
plans to distribute smaller tanks along
the road. These arrangements for
handling the new fuel include nothing
that viii be done on the Southern route
of the company's line. 1t is estimated
that the exclusive use of oil will net a
saving of S1,500.000 over coal. This es-
innate is based on the figures or last
month when a saving of $4,000 was
effected by the use of fuel oil on thir-
ty-nine engines of the Western divi-
sion.

The only people who, having any ac-
quaintance with earthquakes, can az
ford to despise them are those who
have experienced just one little shock.
Your first earthquake. IL it awakes
you at all. produces no more emotion
than would the midnight passage of
a traction engine upon the inhabitants
of a modern fiat. Subsequently every
tremor-and there Is a horrible sub
tlety about earthquakes-makes you
bolt out of bed and with unerring in
stinct seek the open air. II the dis
turbance be really a bad one you are
no more safe there than indoors. but 1t
gives certain relief to escape from
the surroundings of cracking walls and
creaking furniture. No amount of ia
miliarity with earthquakes breeds con-
tempt. The better you know them the
greater your dread-for you never know
how bad they are going to be.

ANCIENT
TORTURE
how it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method Of poisoning
criminals was to force them to swal-
low large quantities of bulls blood.
Buifs blood is really no poison at all.
Yet the prisoner usually died In agony.
rms was caused by the coagulation or
hardening of the bulls blood in the
stomach. The pressure OF this solid
mass on the heart, lungs and other vital
organs almost always resulted fatally.
That's just like indigestion. IL
your food doesn't digest it remains in
hard lump in the stomach. Gases are
formed, which crowd and sometimes
actually displace other organs. MANY
cases of supposed heart disease are due
to indigestion. The pressure upon the
lungs interferes with breathing. A dis
ordered stomache effects the whole body.
BY the use of such preparation as
kodol Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble
isremoved. Before food can be assimi-
lated into the system it must be re-
duced to proper condition by the di-
gestive fluids. If any of these fluids
are lacking, perfect digestion Is i'm
possible. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sup
plies the missing fluids. Stomach
troubles can't be cured by dieting.
The system demands both sufflciency
and variety of food. You can't get
well or stay well without it. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
to take care Of any kind of good food.
1t renders dieting unnecessary. 1t
digests what you eat. In this way
it rests the stomach This rest soon
restores the stomach to perfect health.
KodOl Dyspepsia Cure helps the
children too. Weak and sickly little
ones thrive on 1t. 1t never fails.
During the last few years my stom.
ach was In such condition that /
couldn't retain the food l ate, writes

Always is the time 10 go fishing. Now
