4 FORTUNE IN GERMANY.
TWO BRUNSWICK YOUNG MEN TO
GET 4, WINDFALL.

Henry A. and William +. Cnmman
Establish Their Right to For
tune-Mr. Emile Newman, the Ger
man Vice Consul at Savannah, Has
Been at Work on the Case-Letters
and a Copy of the VIII Directed
10 Brunswick, Vn., Instead OF the
Georgia Port-Advertiseme by
German Consul at Richmond Gave
Them the News.
Brunswick Ga, Jan. S.-After several
weeks of careful inquiry and investiga-
ton, the German consul at Richmond,
Va, Mr.. E. X. Victor, and the Ger
man vice consul at Savannah, Ga, Mr.
Emile Neuman, have become thor
oughly convinced that Mr.. Henry A
Cammann of this city is the rightful
heir to a large estate left to himself
and his brother. William F. Cammann,
by a deceased aunt, who died in Bre-
men, Germany, last September. Mr..
Cammann and his attorney here, Col.
w. Z. Kay, have been thoroughly con-
WINGED of the fact since notice was nrst
received, and have aided the various
officials in fully securing all the intor-
nation they needed. The fortune Is
variously estimated as worth from S'5-
900 to 100000. 1t comes as a great
relief to Mr.. Cammann, popular
young business man, who has worked
hard here to support himself and pro
vide medical treatment for long time
for his brother, William. who has been
a sufferer for many months from spinal
trouble Miss Helen Maria Cammann'
aunt of the two young men whom she
made her heirs, died in Bremen at the
age of 70. Ia letter to Henry, VIII
ten a few months prior to her deatn'
she stated that as her only relatives,
besides these two nephews, were Wen
provided for, she had decided to make
them her heirs, and had sent them a
copy of her will. This copy never
reached the young men, and at thel.
aunt's death nothing more was heard
regarding her bequests.
1t seems, however. that after her
death letters sent to the young mel'
were directed to Brunswick, IVA. in
stead of Brunswick Ga" and they
believe now that the copy of the Will
. their aunt referred to must have also
been misdirected, and the one. letter
"V." that came near costing them
fortune caused them to miss hearing
from their aunt's attorneys. On the
other side their aunt's attorneys not
receiving any response to the letters
directed to Brunswick, va" finally
wrote to the German consul at Rich
mond and inquired for them. The con-
sui advertised for the young men, ana
a friend of theirs in Richmond their
former home saw the advertisement
and wrote them. Henry took up the
correspondence with Col. Kay, his
brother being unable to attend to bus
mess, and in a short while two claim
ants from Baltimore showed up, and
in answer to the advertisement SAID
they were probably the heirs. The ut
ter unreliability of their claims and
the absolute business of the Brunswick
boys claims was then fully gone into
by the Richmond consul and the Sa-
vannah vice consul. Mr.. Camman re-
turned from Savannah yesterday,
where he went to consult Vice Consul

forms of catarrh, whether in the head,
throat. bronchial tubes, or in stomach
and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form, pleas
ant and convenient to take and no
special secrecy is maintained as TO
what it contains. the tablet being a
scientific combination of Blood root.
Red gum and similar valuable and
harmless antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store un-
der the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's.
Whether the catarrh is located i'm the
nose. throat. bronchial tubes or stom-
ach. the tablets seem to act with equal
success, removing the stuffy feeling in
head and nose. clearing the mucous
membrane of throat and trachea from
catarrhal secretions. which cause the
tickling, coughing, hawking and gag
ging so annoying to every catarrh suf-
ferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to III
ceration, in some cases to such an ex-
tent as TO destroy the nose entirely
and in many old cases of catarrh the
bones of the head become diseased
Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the
throat and bronchial tubes and very Of
ten to the stomach. causing that very
obstinate trouble, catarrh of the stom-
ach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison, inner
ent in the blood. and local washes
douches. salves, inhalers and sprays
can have no effect on the real cause OF
the disease. An internal remedy which
acts upon the blood is the only ra.
tional treatment and Stuarts Catarrf
Tablets is the safest of all interna
remedies, as well as the most conven.
lent and satisfactory from a medlca
standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that III
had successfully used Stuart's Catarrf
Tablets in old chronic cases. even wher,
liberation had extended so far as &
destroy the septum OF the nose. II,
says: II am pleasantly surprised mos
every day by the excellent results from
Stuarts CatarTh Tablets. II Is re
markable how effectually they remov,
the excessive secretion and bring abou

membranes OF the nose, throat anC

the body shot downward like an ar

neck was not broken, and 1t was fif-
teen minutes before Drs. G. NJ. Over

was the murder of Thomas Mitchell,
