KILLED HIMSELF.
Convicted Of a Crime Of Which He
Was Innocent.

The Augusta Chronicle says Fred
W. Moore, a prosperous merchant and
planter living at Veazey, Ca, shot
himself Tuesday night with suicide
intent. He died "Wednesday at noon.
Moore was indicted by the last
grand jury for gross immortality. The
prosecutor in the case is MoUre'S half
niece. Miss Annie Moore. He was
tried there Tuesday and found guilty.
Sentence was suspended until Wednes-
day.
Moore went home Tuesday night in
a very respondent mood and shot him
self as above stated.
Moore bore an excellent reputation
until this misfortune. he was 10
years of age and was widoweT, bis wife
having died the early part OF the
year. He has brother in Atlanta.
His attorney, Colonel James Dawson,
made the following statement Wed
nesday morning:
II am shocked at the intelligence.
When Moore left me Tuesday night l
assured him that on two distinct
grounds of error in the trial lie would
be granted new trial. The public
should not take this rash act as con-
elusive evidence of guilt. The facts
at the trial showed that the prosecu-
tor, who was Moore'S half niece. had
first had another man arrested for
the crime: aud latter dismissed that
warrant and had Moore arrested"

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Peine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, II we expect
them TO ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
incs of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds OF disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless p-oPer measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases. Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

The mystery surrounding the tive
satchels at the city hall was partly clear
ed up this forenoon when Special Officer
VIM. George of the union depot called al
the hall to look at them. He identified
the larger one that contains women's
clothing, as one that was left in his care
by an elderly lady Wednesday evening
The lady was ON her way to Marshall

be placed in a safe place while she went
up town. Mr.. George placed it in the
closet under the stairway in the ladies'
waiting room.
The telescope grip, Mr.. George identi-
fes as having been left in his care by a
young man, who said that he might not
call for it for several days This was
also placed in the closet. When Mr..
George went home he forgot to lock the
closet, and both satchels were stolen.
The next day the stranger was found
with them sleeping in Chas, ]. Macbeth's
barn. The fact that this man did not
call for them at the police station when
informed that they were there evidently
proves that he was the thief

The "Athletic Habit"
From Success.

Physicians have always told us Of the
evils Of OVERRIDING athletics. but here is a
danger. not Of excess, but rather of transit
ton. described by medical man who is
also an athlete. TO pass. he says. from
athletic to ordinary life-to leave Off "train-
ing'':-always gives a shock. and 1t may be
an Injurious or a disastrous one. In his
own case, he says. the breaking away from
the old life is as hard as the giving up Of
narcotics or alcohol Every athlete must
give up his athletics some day owing. per-
haps. to change of occupation or to ad-
vancing age. Then comes the danger. His
limbs and his internal organs are all bigger
than he needs for a quiet life; they suffer
from partial disuse: there is weakness. de-
generacy and disease. This. the writer
says, has been the history Of many ath-
letes, and all must look out for 1t, though
of course many may escape. It is gener-
ally conceded that the Maker never in
tended that men and women should over
exert themselves in athletics. Quiet, stim-
ulating exercise Is very necessary, from q
scientific standpoint. but the athletic
habit should not be forced

RAs1s OF PENSION CLAIM.
Applicants Version Of How Disability
Was Incurred.

ore of the most remarkable stories ever
told by a veteran as basis Tor pension
emolument is set forth in a claim which
the pension bureau has received from a
man in Ohio The. claimant was very
anxious to get his money and was particu-
lar to 20 into detail as to-the way in which
he became entitled to place on the ma
tion's payroll. He alleges that during
battle the fragment Of a shell struck his
gun. while 1t was at right shoulder. and
bent the barrel of the gun about his neck In
an uncomfortable and embarrassing fash
ion. He himself escaped the shell. but the
barrel refused to be disentangled. The
claimant contended under oath that the
barrel was so hopelessly bent around his
neck that It took three men to unwind 1t.
He alleges that by reason Of this peculiar.
freakish and unprecedented action OF the
gunbarrel his eyes were badly injured, and
he. therefore, claims pension.
The government has refused to be moved
by the touching spectacle OF a mans neck
in the embrace of the coils of q gun, and
has rejected the claim on the ground that
the injury complained OF, In view OF the ex-
pIanation Of its occurrence, Is not ratable
disability. This ruling suggests that II the
injury to the eyes accrued from the shock
of the impact Of the shell with the gun, the
veterans nerves also would have been af-
fected. and there is no showing that the
nerves were impaired in any degree.
