CT EepicideS

London, September 22.-The Times cor
respondent at Belgrade sends review OF
the situation at Belgrade. In which he
says the military conspiracy at Nish di-
rected against the regicides is far graver
than the government dare acknowledge.
OF a total Of 500 officers, 900 are
said TO he concerned in it, and probably
the bulk of the nation secretly SYM
pathizes with them. The clique of as
sassins. however, hold all the chief civil
and military offices. the keys of the ar
senal and the treasury, and any one
crossing their path is doomed, The king
is surrounded and under the rule of the
assassins, and many doubt whether he
will ever shake himself free.
Minister Gentchitch, in whose house
the regicide plot was Matched. and who
conducted the secret negotiations with
King Peter, is alleged TO possess an in
eliminating letter which is kept hanging
ever the royal head. Lately. however.

that they have rome too far and must
moderate their attitude. The elections

Man Whom Wade Horsewhipped
Tells His Side Of Case.

Rome Ga. September 22.-(Special)-
The following is the first statement made
by Mr.. Charles f. Kuster in reference 10
the now famous Wade kuster damage
suit, and subsequent criminal charge
against Kuster for sending obscene mat
ter through the mails.
This case has attracted widespread at
tention over the state on account of the
prominence of the parties concerned.
The warrant charging Mr., Kuster with
sending obscene letters through the mails
was taken out in Atlanta Thursday by
Mr.. G. IL. Wade, Of Cedartown.
a few months ago Mr.. Wade met MT.
Kuster on the main street of Cedartowl
leging that the latter had sent letters
about his (Wade's) wife that she was
very intimate with several gentlemen OF
the Cedar City.
Mr. kuster went to court about the
horsewhippng and sued Mr.. Wade for
SIS 600, but was given verdict Of $4,000.
The warrant taken out for Mi. kuste:,
charging him with sending the lett Frs
through the mail. is the elimination of
enc Of the most sensational cases that
has ever passed through the Georgia
courts.
Mr.. Kustcr says:
First of all | want to say I did not
write these letters. | have no; the
hottest knowledge Of their author-nor do

up 10 the present time I have as
sumed the dignified position OF silence:

seven years ago the state OF Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago o charter.
There was need Of something above the ordi-
nary method of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by Its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the SICK
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since it's establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way TO carry out
the original purposes of its establishment under
the benefcient laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity in the treatment
OF certain phases of disease, created under the
superintendent Of its staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved to be
of great value as a curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage of perfection which warranted Its
present name Of supreme"
This belt Is the most effective of all agents in the
cure OF rheumatism. mmbago. lame back. nerv-
Gus exhaustion, weakened or lost vital functions,
varcocee, kidney disorders and many other
complaints.
This supreme Electric Belt" Is made In one
grade only-100 guage-there Is no better electric
belt made and no better belt can be made. You
have only to write to the Physicians Institute
and one of these belts will be sent you absolutely
free. 1t Is not sent on trial, Il Is yours to Keep
forever without the payment of one cent. ms
generous offer may be withdrawn at any time. so
you should write to-day for this free supreme

PURE MILK IN NEW YORK.

New York September 24--Dr Haupt,
commissioner Of education. states that he
finds the death rate for children is fall
ing from onc-third to one-tenth, which he
attributes to the strict measure. for
protecting babies from impure milk and
unsanitary rangements He believes
that in the main the increase is caused
by the immense immigration to New
York.
DR.. IIaupt asserts that babies are born
at the rate of one every four minutes in
the neighborhood of Houston street, and
about one a monitor one every 43. 200
minutes-in the Murray Hill residence
section.
That is, for every child that Is born
in the exclusive set. the extremely poor
are rich in the possession Of 1880 ad-
ditioaal youngsters.
1t might be well to state that Hous-
ton street on one hand and Murray
Hill on the other are the two extremes
OF the SOCIAL division here.
Dr. Haupt has also created consterna-
ton in the board of education by the
assertion that the average rate of i'll
crease in the number of babies in Man
hattap has grown from five to eleven an
hour. or one baby about every five min
utes.
These figures were furnished by DR..
Haupt as a result of an investigation
which the hoard OF education is carry
ing on to find out what preparation it
must make to provide room which the
babies of the present will need as The
pupils OF Few years hence.

Not word has been received By DR..
Herran, the Colombian charge, up to a

DR.. Herran says he would not be sur
prised if Colombia should take the mi

negotiations along somewhat differ emit
lines from that on which the last con

The Importance of the Vene.
zuelan agreement cannot be
measured by the benefit to Ven
ezuela or the recovery of money
invested by creditor peoples.
1t establishes once for all the
primacy of the United States
on the American continent and
makes the Monroe doctrine a
principle of American policy as
fixed and unassaila BILE as self
government itself.
European governments now
acknowledge that they cahaot
do as they please on the Amerf-
can continent. That is the gain
to the peace of the world Jun
expectedly produced by the
predatory excursion of Great
Britain and Germany to the
South American coast. Z
How we shall use the authori-
ty conceded is for the American
people TO determine. Just how
much responsibility will rest
upon them is still to be defined.
But there is no rerson to be-
lieve that the new situation in
wolves any dangers. On the
contrary, this county feels
itself a peacemaker. That is
the role assigned the American
people and there is no cause to
fear that they will decline it.

credit. He is said to be a dip.

In Another Column.

In another column you find
the Madison Times idea Of
what the Legislature can do for
Monroe County. Mr.. Heather
and Co. wouldn't if they could
and can't if they would. The
mud roads of this. Monroe
County are a disgrace, to the
third best bridged county in
the state. Mud roads, past.
present and future will be the
complaint until the farmer, He
Is The Power Behind The
Throne, wakens to the realiza
tion that He would get SO per
cent of the benefit of a good
road. That he would reap the
benefit of the markets. That
would enhance the value of his
farm from IS to so per acre.
And that he, he alone can make
the change at light expense in
money, but it will take labor.
The apparent Indifference is
not real, what is lackingis a
leader with enthusiasm. Who
will be the Moses to lead them
out of the wilderness?
