The Duty of Parents.

Prevention is better than cure, and
yet remedy like Gooch's Mexican
Syrup for coughs, colds and consump-
ton, if not used to prevent consump-
ton by curing cough or cold in the
beginning, can be depended ON to even
cure after the lungs begin to waste
away. No other remedy is so nice to
take, or so quick to cure, and many
families often buy new bottle before
the old one is all used up, so that they
may have it always in the house. Only

Who0ping Cough .

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old
and owing to our giving them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other child

A farmer ON one of the free rural

went to his box to get his mail the
other day and found a weather report
which read as follows: "Fair Friday
and Saturday. '"Well, gosh durn

county agriculturist, as he read the
weather report, "don't those fellows
down at Bedford have any more sense

There has been considerable un-
easiness the past week over the appear
ance of some more smallpox nearby,
and it appears that host of people
have been unknowingly exposed to it.
A young man named Olson contracted
the disease at the Henry Meier place
near Rossville, and was working over
on Round Prairie, north of town,
when he broke out. Thus far Mrs.
Thos Knudtson appears to be the only
person who is affected with it on
Round Prairie. However, Olson was
at dance held in that locality two
weeks ago at which numebr from
Waukon were present. 1t is they and
others who were at the dance who are
now uneasy. -Waukon Democrat.

MAN and WOMAN F|GH|.
Parties to Divorce Case Exchange
Fusillade on Streets OF Me-
braska Town.
Mrs. Patterson Seeks Revenge
ON Man who Wrecked Her
Home.
Opens Fire on George Thomp.
son. Accused by Her Hus-
band-Woman Unhurt.

Albion, Neb., March 21-Two of the
best known persons in this county, a
man and a woman, engaged in re-
yolyer duel on the main streets here
yesterday. The man and dislnter-
ested spectator of the fight We're ia
tally wounded. The shooting took
place on the main street of the town
about o'clock, when the streets We're
crowded. Twelve shots We're fired, six
by each party to the fight.
Late last year Mr.. Patterson, a
wealthy stockman, electrified the
county by filing divorce proceedings
against his wife, naming George
Thompson, another prominent stock
man, as correspondent. At the time he
filed suit against Thompson for $4,000
for alienation of his wife's affections
The parties live at Durham, town In
the northern end of the county. The
divorce case came up for trial yester-
day at this place and continued thru
today.
Sensational testimony was intro
duced by Patterson. About o'clock
the case was given to the jury, which
retired for consideration. AT O'Clock
Mrs. Patterson walked down Main
street, wearing raglan coat, with her
hand in the pocket
When she had reached the middle of
the block Thompson stepped from a
door in front of and about twenty feet
from her. They saw each other at the
same instant. Without a word Mrs.
Patterson drew 3S-caliber revolver
from her pocket, took deliberate aim
at Thompson, and fired.
THOMPSON reeled, but did not fall.
The woman fired again. BY this time
Thompson had drawn a 44-caliber re-
volver, and he returned the fire. By
ISLANDERS fled in all directions as bull
lets began to fly thru the air. A sec
ond time Thompson reeled, but kept
his feet.
james Florey, merchant of the
town, who was attempting to get out OF
range, fell. shot thru the breast. With
in one minute from the firing of the
first shot the fight was over. Thomp-
son was lying on the ground bleeding
from three wounds.
F'lorey had staggered into store and
was on the floor. Mrs. Patterson was
calmly and smilingly surveying the
scene, apparently without excitement.
Still holding her pistol in her hand, she
went to the sheriff's office and gave
herself up.
Thompson was arrested but his con-
dition is so serious that he was not
taken TO Jail, and he is at his room in
the hotel, He is wounded in the issan,
the leg and the groin. Little hope Is
held out to him by the surgeons.
A sign near which Mrs. Patterson
stood during the shooting contains
three 44-caliber bullets. From their
positions, they passed within few
inches of her head. Two bullets cut her
coat, but she came from the battle
without "a scratch.
She refuses to discuss the shooting.
1t is generally understood. however,
that she blames Thompson for wreck
ing her home and determined to kill
him on that account The jury deciding
the divorce case has not returned a
verdict, and does not know of the
shooting.

BANKRUPT A WORLD
Interesting Figures Given by the
Court in Tontine Associ-
alton Case.
Rate OF Increase Attained Would
Make Liabilities $4,000, O0O,.
900 in Eighteen Years.
Charter and Articles OF lncor-
poration Are Declared For-
feited by Court.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, March 2l.-Juase
McGhee in an order filed Thursday dis
solved the Tontine Savings Association.
The charter and articles of incorpora-
ton are declared forfeited. George T..
Flannery. attorney has been appointed
receiver and directed to take charge OF
the company's effects and convert them
into cash,
The most interesting part of the or
der is to be found in the memorandum
in which the court wakes very sarcas-
tic. According to the memorandum
when the present company was reor-
ganized on May 4, 1895. there was prac-
tically a deficit of $23,520 from its pred
ecessor. 1t has done tremendous
business since then, but upwards of 80
per cent has been outside of the state.
Owing to the endless chain" features
of the company's plan the liabilities
grew each year UP to Dec. Z, 1901, the
memorandum says, the deficit had in
creased in three years. seven months
and three days from s23.52O to S1.292.
29O.25. Should the growth of the asso-
citation continue at the same ratio as
during the past three years the results
would be simply immense. At steady
increase of 60 per cent a year, in eight
cen years there would be 90,000,000 con-
tracts in force and the amount neces-
sary to redeem would be only $1S,0oo,-
100000.
In fifty years the whole wealth of the
world since the creation of Adam would
be wholly insufficient to redeem the
contracts which would be in force.
From Judge McGhees memorandum
tt appears that the five directors of the
association, on a paid-up capital of
only $3.50, received in 1901 the sum of
$4,000 in dividends and $4,000 in the
same way in the first thirty two days

the heart, lungs and stomach must act
to perfection.
Whether we endorse prize-fighting or
not, it is nevertheless interesting to
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.
James Jeffries, the present champion
heavyweight of the world, and his gall
liant opponent, Tom Sharkey, in the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place, both pursued much
the same course of training, and the
first and most important part of this
training was to get the stomach in con-
dition, and to keep the digestion abso
lutely perfect. so that every muscle
and nerve would be at it's highest capa-
bilities.
This was not done by secret patent
medicine, but both of these great pugi-
lists used we'll known natural digest

of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and COM
posed of the digestive ferments which
every stomach requires for healthy di-
gestion.
Champion Jeffries says: "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity,
strengthen the stomach and insure per-
feet digestion. They keep man in fine
physical condition" Signed, James j.
'Jeffries, champion of the world
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to a healthful
condition. heartily recommend them"
Signed, Thomas j. Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that they
keep people well and ward off sickness
and are equally valuable to we'll per
sons as to the dyspeptics. Another ad-
vantage is that these tablets contain
no cathartics, or poisons of any char
acter, but simply digestive ferments
which are found in every healthy stonl-
ach, and when digestion is imperfect 1t
is because the stomach lacks some of
these elements and Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but
perfectly safe and efficient digestive,
and the demand for them is greater
than the sale of all other so called dys-
pepsia cures combined. No remedy
could possibly reach such place in
public esteem except as result Of pos
tive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at so cents and the best habit
you can possibly form is to take Stuart
Tablet after each meal. They make
weak stonachs strong and keep strong
stomachs vigorous.

FOUR DIE I'm RACE WAR.
Whites Kill Four Negroes for Chicken
Stealing.

!
Madrid Bend, KY, March 21-Four
negroes are dead and another is dying
as a result of race war here today.
Elijah Drake, colored, it is claimed.
was caught by white men stealing
chickens, and was attacked by them
and driven into the Mississippi river
and shot dead. The body foated to
shore and the white men made another
negro tie rope around the neck and
pull the body out to deep water.
The white men then attacked four
other negroes living in the neighbour
hood, who 1t is claimed were implicated.
The negroes showed fight and in the
melee that followed Jim Stewart Cool
ored) was shot and instantly killed.
The other three negroes, whose names
are not known, We're then almost beat
en- to death and two of them have died
from thier injuries.
There is much fear of further trouble
and the law-abiding citizens have
asked the governor to offer a reward
of the murderers.
Madrid Bend, which is forty miles be-
low Hickman, KY, has been greatly ex-
cited by the developments, and as usual
during race troubles there are many
threats made against the negroes.
1t is possible that in case of further
attacks by the whites the negroes may
again show fight, and If they do a seri-
Gus situation will develop and it will be
fortunate if there is not much more
bloodshed. In case OF further trouble
it is not unlikely that the militia will be
called out to protect the blacks.
