Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regulardoses of Green's
August Flower, the favorite medicine of
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at E. S. Leadbeater

ways distinguished the Spanish crown and

on his conduct and flew in violent passion
and tore up the text. He ordered the presi-
dent to compose another speech ana make no
attempt to dictate rules OF behavior TO the

Mob Alter Carrie Nation.

New York, Oct. 3.-Carrie Nation,
Kansas smasher, visited Park row yester-
day afternoon, and her presence so stirred
up the hoodlum element that the police
reserves had to be called out to quell an
incipient riot. The lady from Kansas,
after slapping cigarette out OF small
boys mouth, and gettinga somewhat pro-
fame reply, hoated into a small restaurant
and told the proprietor who she was, and
ordered a meal. To the chagrin of the
proprietor, the people in the street found
out who his guest was, and crowd col
Iected. Every time stout woman
emerged from the restaurant there was a
rush and rousing yell. Fully 1000
persons gathered, and the woman who
left the restaurant had a hard time.
One buxom woman in black lost her
temper and laid about her so vigorously
with her umbrella that the crowd
couldn't be convinced that she was not
the real Carrie. When the reserves had
been called out and had dubbed the
crowd away from the door it was found
that Mrs. Nation had slipped out the
back way half an hour before.

SOME OF the rabid republicans OF the
republican State of Pennsylvania are
constantly prating about fraudulent
elections in the South and the Southern
States DISTINGUISHING" negroes because
they pay no taxes, when in their own
State election frauds are the rule and
the preparing of taxes is requisite ana
necessary before man can cast his bal
lot This is shown by the following
editorial taken from the Philadelphia
Record of today:
'sToday and tomorrow, October o ana
4. are the last days for the payment OF
of poll tax. Qualified voters must nave
5 paid their tax within two years. Citizens
who NAV fail to pay, and who conse-
ouently cannot 60 the polls, will open
the way for fraud. Personators furnish
ed by the machine leaders with tax re-
ceipts will vote in the names OF sucn
absentees. The fact that the most ex-
tensiye preparation for fraudulent voting
has been made in this city through the
purchase of tax receipts to cover the
padded registeries Of the tax lists should
induce every friend of honest govern
ment to pay his own poll tax, and thus
do what he may to counteract pianneu
and premeditated crime.

TRAGEDY AT A CIRCUS.

Sautelle's circus had bloody day in
Richmond yesterday. A while before
the afternoon performance began Lewis
Lutz, a canvasman, was shot by negro.
During the chariot race, the last event
of the entertainment, the horses tell and
dragging the red car around the ring,
knocked down tent poles, which felLinto
the audience, injuring ten or twelve more
or less seriously. The excitement from
this had hardly subsidized when call for
police came from the kitchen tent. Here
the two cooks, Frank Grafton and Fred
Pike. had quarreled, and Grafton had
used an AK on his assailant. Pike was
struck squarely in the forehead with the
blade of the ak, and in warding off the
second blow Grafton swung at him lost
mart oftwo fingers. Grafton was arrested.
According to Snowman who witnessed
the shooting of the canvasman, the al
fair was unprovoted by Lutz, further
than to order the negro away from the
ropes at the dressing tent, where he and
Others were peeping in upon the women
The negro Just short while before
shooting Lutz had some words with an
other Snowman. The Snowman appeared
ON the outside, wearing a false beard,
when the negro called to him, saying;
"Sav. Willie where did you get the
whiskers?'' The Snowman cursed him,
and the negro replied he would take a
shot at him just for fun. A few minutes
after this he was ordered away from the
tent by Lutz He refused to get back
when told, but standing stubbornly, drew
the pistol and placing it within few
inches of the showman's abdomen fired
the shot that inflicted Lutz's death
wound. The negro is still at large, but
is being hunted by posse of police.

Boy SHOT His RIvAL.-Desperate on
account of the good fortune OF Connolly
Miller, his rival, in gaining the favor OF
young girl of the community, Ira
Thomas, aged sixteen, OF Zionsville,
Western North Carolina, shot and per-
haps fatally wounded Miller yesterday.
The young people were attending pub
lie debate at the louisville High School.
Miller escorted home the girl on whom
Thomas's heart was set. The latter lay
in hiding until Miller returned, and
then ouarael ensued. Thomas seized
a revolver from Miller's hip pocket, and,
turning the muzzle toward Miller, fired.
The ball crushed the jawbone, passed
into the mouth. aud ranged downward,
lodging in the neck. The latest report
is that Miller's condition is critical, with
little hope of his recovery. Thomas
claims that the shooting was accidental;
that Miller had said the revolver was
not loaded, and that, acting under this
impression, he pulled the trigger. Mil
Ter denies that he said anything to
Thomas about the revolver.
