The Farmers Success De-
ponds Upon Freedom from
Disease and Suffering.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
IS THE MEDICINE THAT HAS MADE
THOUSANDS OF COUNTRY
T0ILERS WELL AND
STRONG.

There are thousands of farmers in
our land who are rich in broad acres
and gold, and yet lack that true
wealth known as good health.
1t is a melancholy fact that men and
women in the country districts, breath
ing the purest air and drinking from
Gods bubbling fountains and limpid
springs, are liable to the same diseases
and ailments that come thick and fast
to city people. We find rheumatism,
neuralgia, debility, dyspepsia, kidney
and liver troubles, and blood diseases
almost as common in the farmers
family as they are in city homes.
Paine's Celery Compound, Heaven s
best blessing to the farming commu-
nifty, has done more for the Danish
ment of dread disease and the building
I'D of health than all other combined
medicines. Mr. John Zuspan, a prom
inent and well known farmer of Mid
dleport, Ohio, writes specially for the
benefit of sufferers in the rural dis
tricts; he says:
Last November I was so badly
crippled up with rheumatism, which
came on in June, that 1 could hardly
walk without the aid of crutches or
heavy stick. About the 10th of No
vember l commenced taking Paine's
Celery Compound. and after using
four bottles L was completely cured,
and was able to attend to my usual

Contracts Closed for Extensive Ex-
hibits of Machinery.
Valdosta, Ca, Sept. 19.-The man
ayers of the State Fair closed con-
tracts this week for exhibits of ma
chinery which will occupy more than
10, 900 feet of space, the improved ma
chinery exhibit to be one of the best
features of the next fair. There will
be a large exhibit of heavy machin-
cry, such as steam engines, threshing
machines, etc, while the exhibit of
wire fences, gates, etc, farming imple-
ments of all kinds, will be superb.
A complete saw mill will be in opera
ton upon the fair grounds, together
with a turpentine still and a syrup
making plant.
The numerous applications for live
stock exhibits makes 1t necessary for
more space to be provided for these,
and work is now under way for large
increase in the number of stalls for
live stock. The government will send
an exnert to look after the health of
the live stock on exhibition here, and
If any sales are made they will be only
of cattle or other stock which has
passed examination by the expert.
The managers of the fair are doing
some very attractive advertising all
over Georgia, Florida and portions of
Alabama. They have arrangements
with the Sells & Forepaugh circus,
which shows in the fair grounds on the
opening day of the fair. to distribute
much of their matter. while the bill
posters in all of the
cities will distribute other
pieces of advertising. PeThaus,
the most attractive advertising which
will be used, are the many small BAN
ners which have been bought and the
large streamers which are to be used
in different cities. These are on long
sheets of cloth and are intended to
stretch across the streets. One hun
dred of them have been painted and
they are to be strung in all Of the i'm

City Tax List CompIeted-Municip
improvements Contemplated.
Palatka, Fla, Sept. 19.-City Tax
Assessor J. N. Blackwell has just
completed the compilation of the city
tax roll for the year 1902, and same
has been approved and accepted by the
Board of Aldermen. The recapitulation
exhibits the following assessed valua-
tions: Realty, 1895, 900; personal, $685.
900, or a total of 81 ,0S0, 900, from which
on a levy of 16 mills, the city derives
an annual revenue of $17,500. The ag-
gregate cash balance in all funds on
hand on Sept. / was $7,760.2S.
Alderman Joseph d. Points, it is I'M
derstood, will at the next meeting of
the City Council, propose a plan for
the Improvement of the condition of
Lemon street, Palatka's principal thor
oughfare, at a nominal cost to the
city. His idea is to purchase suffi-
cient lime rock to fill in the depres-
sions caused by wear and in some in
stances repave the street, thereby rem
dering it more presentable and passa-
BILE. The material thus used, he
claims, would not be thrown away
when all the streets are to be paved
later on as a result of bonding for mu-
nicipal improvements, as the rock could
be utilized in paving lateral streets re-
mote from the business section of the
city.

HOBSON MUST WORK.
Hero of Santiago Will Be Reassign-

Hero of Santiago VIII Be Reassign-
ed to Duty ana Not Retired.
Washington, Sept. 19.-NaVal Con-
structor Richmond p. Hobson was at
the Navy Department to-day and had
a talk with Secretary Moody and also
one with Rear Admiral Taylor, chief
of the Bureau of Navigation. The mat
ter of Mr.. Hobson's future assignment
is still pending at the department. The
constructor has expressed a preference
to be sent to the post at the Crescent
shipyards, which he occupied before
taking his leave, rather than to PEN
sacola, the place which has been in view
for him. 1t is expected that a decision
will be reached as to his assignment
in a few days.
In the course of regular routine at
the Navy Department, there is no
prospect that Mr. Hobsons desire to
be retired can be granted. He has
already been rejected by a retiring
board, and upon his return from
three-months' sick leave, he has been
pronounced by the surgeon general of
the navy fit for duty. The construc-
tor may possibly apply for another re-
firing board, but has taken no such
action as yet. So, apparently, the only
opening for him to retire from the
naval service is through legislation.
The Senate Committee on Naval At
fairs reported a bill for Constructor
Hobsons retirement, upon the recon-
mendation of the President, but the
measure did not reach the House.

THE PULITZER MURDER,
fhe Mystery of the Discovery of the
Woman's Nude Body in Morris
Canal Cleared In nv Detectives

canal Cleared Up by Detectives.
New York, Sept. 19.-The mystery of
the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer.
whose nude body was found in the
Morris canal, near Jersey City, has
been cleared up by the discovery that
the woman was killed in a fat at 1O3
West Fifty-eighth street. where her
coming was found tonight,
rms announcement was made late
to-nlght by Capt. Titus of the Detec-
i've Bureau, who connects directly
with the murder a man named
Hooper Young, who has recently been
employed in a cheap restaurant. Ii
Jus has learned that the woman's body
was kept for some time under the sink
IN the kitchen of the fiat in which she
was killed. Young has not
been arrested and is believed to have
ned the city. He is said to have ship
ped a trunk to Chicago last night. He
formerly worked for the Hoboken Cru
sader and the police found his picture
taken with a group of employees. This
picture was shown to the Hoboken liv
eryman, who at once picked out Young
as the man who hired a buggy from
him on Wednesday night
The apartment in which the murder
ed woman'S clothing was found is a
cheap tenement in a block containing
many stables, but is within stones
throw of some of the most splendid
apartment houses in vicinity of Cen
trail Park, South.
All day long detectives have followed
clues. They asserted confidently that
they were close on the trail of the
murderer, and the developments to-
night prove the correctness of their
theory.
The first important evidence devel-
oped early. 1t was the identification
of the hitching strap and the weight
used as a sinker for the body by
Charles Evans, livery stable keep
er in Hoboken. These, he said, were
placed by him in buggy at the special
request of man who hired the vehi-
Gle from him on Wednesday night and
whose photograph he has identified.
The horse and buggy were returned
the following morning by the same
man.
The murdered woman's husband says
that he saw her last late on Tuesday
night, when she left their apartments
for the purpose of purchasing some
rolls and fruit. She did not return, and
the theory is now that she met her
murderer went with him to his apart
ments and that then as a result of a

borne out by facts now known con-
corning the woman's life. It has devel
oped that this life was not good one
a fact not denied by Pulitzer himself
1t is now reasonably certain
that the murderer kept the wOman's
body in his rooms until Wednesday
night, when he hired the horse and
buggy in Hoboken, and. returning to
New York, drove to the Morris canal,
where he threw his victims body into
the water.
The keeper of the bridge over which
he must have driven to reach the canal
saw a buggy answering to the descrip-
ton to that hired at the stable in 1o-
boken, crossing the bridge between II
and II o'clock on Wednesday night.
He could only get glimpse of the
driver, but he said that trunk was
tied on behind the vehicle.

VALDOSTA NOTES.
Ten-Year-01d Negro Fatally Slabs
AnOther-BOard of Trade Active.

Ten-Year-OId Negro Fatally Stabs
AnOther--BOard of Trade Active.
.Valdosta, Ca, Sept. ia little 10
year-old negro named John McRae
is languishing in the county Jail with
the charge of murder hanging Just
above his head. He assaulted another
little negro named Noah Dickson yes
terday evening. and the physicians say
that Dickson cannot possibly recover.
The keen edge of knife blade pene-
trated his breast and lodged between
his heart and lungs, missing the heart
by hardly half an inch. The wounded
boy has already bled enough to have
stabbing, and only the statement of
the little negro In Jail can be given.
He says that he was walking along
Oak street when the other boy ran
after him and teased him, also struck
him several times. He says that he
had been sick in bed, and that he was
so weak that the other boy knocked
him down and struck him on the head
with a stick. When he got up he
rushed upon the Dickson boy with his
knife and stabbed him once. He then
went on home and was later arrested
by Chief Dampier. The boy looks to
be not more than 8 years old, but he
seems to care very little whether
Dickson lives or dies.
The Board of Trade OF Valdosta are
just preparing to take up some matters
of very much importance TO the city.
They are the questions of better freight
rates and better insurance rates. In
both of these matters Valdosta is get
ting worse things than she deserves
and the matter is to be taken UP in a
busiE ess-like manner with the railroad
and insurance people.
The various traffic managers are to
be invited to meet in this city and take
up the matter with the committee on
transportation from the board of trade.
The object of the business men is to
get as low rate as other cities, SINH
larly located, is receiving from both
the railroads and the insurance folks.
In both of these matters Valdosta is
being Disseminated against. AMI she
now proposes to do her best to get
things adjusted.

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 19.-Three
train crews refused to handle non

brief consultation and decided to grant
the request of the strikers. The en-

proceeded. The members of the crews
