coming on, and still the natives did not
dare to make the final rush which was to
end the white mans fighting. Every bull

around the fighting band lay a ring Of
half-naked, fierce, black warriors

by the white men upon their foes was
many times as great as the total number
OF the men in Maj Wilson's command
The savages could afford to wait. They
knew that soon the ammunition of the
British must be exhar tied. and that then
would come the time for the final rush of
annihilation. Lobengula's runners secured
the country for miles to see that no Britt

The fire from the CHASTITY barricade
where the white men were at bay grew
slack. The ammunition, even of the re-
volvers, was failing. Finally the last shot
had been fired and such of the white men
as were alive drew their knives or dubbed
their empty, carbines, and with such arms
awaited the last and fatal onslaught of
the Matabeles. They had not long to
wait. King Lobengula gave the signal.
and on came the black warriors in a
mighty wave which engulfed the little
band of survivors who had fought so long
and so CALAMITY. 1t was a furious hand
to-hand fight, in which the very numbers
of the savages impeded them in their
work of humiliation. In the wild con-
fusion Fred Burnham, the American
scout, and two troopers managed to slip
out into the country and escape In the
falling night. Lying wounded amid the
slain, the black wave of the rush passed
completely over them and they. came off
the field the only living representatives
Of the terrible slaughter.
When a British force reached the scene
OF the disaster they found the dead had
been stripped and horribly mutilated by
the natives. Not a dead body there but
had received several bullet wounds in the
course of the fight. Lobengula subsa.
quently was captured and with his cap

If Frrred and Coated, the
Liver Needs Attention.
Paine's Celery
Compound
The Popular Spring Medicine,
Cures Every Form of
Liver Trouble.
A Victory Over an Insidious Disease
After the Failures of Physicians.

The liver is the great housekeeper of
our health. On it's right and proper ac-
ton depends our enjoyment of life.
One of the commonest indications of a
disordered and diseased liver is nasty
tongue--furred and coated. Such a con-
dition is positive proof that the liver is
not working we'll. Other symptoms are
as follows: nauseous taste in the mouth,
pains under the shoulder blades and in
the region of the kidneys. Frequently
the mental symptoms of liver trouble
are more dangerous than the bodily ills.
Sufferers experience mental anguish,
gloomy forebodings, melancholy, and a
general feeling of disgust with life.
When these bodily and mental troubles
are experienced, your liver tells you it
needs immediate help. If the proper
medicine is not used at once, sickness
and death follows.
Paines Celery Compound is the one
great specific for the cure of liver trou-
bles. 1t always acts gently and effec-
lively on the root of the evils, driving
from the system accumulations of morbid
poisons that give rise to your suffering.
Soon every organ is infused with new
life, the skin is fresh and clear, and you
enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Clyde F. Tucker, Savannah, Ohio,
with a desire of benefitting men and wo-
men who are suffering from any of the
varied forms of liver complaints, writes
as follows:

A MORNING TONIC.
INSURANCE RATES IN ATLANTA

The Atlanta papers, having strongly
protested against the increase of fire in
surance rates, the Chamber of Coz merce
appointed a committee of leading bust
ness men to make a report upon The adj
vance in rates. Their report makes more
than two columns of small type. l. shows
that every year except one the premiums
have aggregated more than the amounts
paid in fire losses, and declares that the
increase in the rates is not justified by
the business of the companies. 1t criti-
cizes the expense account which the
companies include in all their state
ments, to-wit: 35 per cent CT gross re-
ceipts. OF this IS per cent is paid to the
local agents and the Atlanta committee
contends that if the cost exceeds 221a per
cent the increase is due to extravaganza
in conducting the business. Figured
the past seven years has shown a profit
OF more than 100000 They concluded
by insisting upon a reduction of ten
Per cent in the ra .es. The Southeastern
Association declined to grant the reduc-
tjCn.
The situation in Raleigh and in North
Carolina shows much larger profits for
the company, and the increased rates
imposed are indefensihla. 1t woul6 be
much better to cut the expenses from
50 to % per cent than to impose the
increase of rate.
