PADDING SKELETONS

The rapidly with which pure food

churia by Russia.
London, May 30.-According to a
Pekin dispatch to the Times, dated
May 10, the situation at New Chwang
and in Manchuria, in spite of proc
lamations and assurances, is unchang-
ed There is a constant flow of Rus
slams and war material to both the
Chinese and Korean banks of the Yalu
river.
Trustworthy evidence, says the dis
patch, confirms the report that num-
bers of Chinese, described as former
brigands, are differed by Russians.
They number at least 1000 and carry
a badge inscribed Protectors of the
Forest"
Reviewing the Manchurian situation
and commenting on the apathy of the
Powers, the Times correspondent says
that China Is agreeing, one by one, TO
all the demands presented by M. Plan
con, the Russian charge d'affaires,
which she pretended to reject en- bloc.
She has already undertaken not to
ALLEVIATE any portion of Manchuria to
any other Power, not to alter the pres
ent administration In Mongolia, not to
open any new treaty ports In Manchu-
ria, and has given an assurance not to
employ foreigners in the administra-
ton of Manchuria, and whether China
gives her consent or not, Russia re-
tains the telegraph line between Port
Arthur and Mukden.

OBITUARY..
n. f. Jones, Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, May 19.-Benjamin F.
Jones, ST., member of the advisory
board of the Jones and Laughlin Steel
Company, Limited, and for many years
head of their immense manufacturing
interests, died at his residence in Allie

The end came unexpectedly. Mr..

or ten days of nervousness, but no Sc
rious results were apprehended.
Mr.. Jones was 79 years of age. He
was one of the foremost contributors
to the wonderful industrial develop
ment of Pittsburg, and for many years
exerted great influence on the public
affairs of Pennsylvania. He was chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee during the Blaine campaign.
Mr.. Jones wrote an article on PRO
lection" in the North American Re-
view which has become a classic, and
his speech in calling to order the Re-
publican National Convention of 1888
evidenced his ability as an orator.

Great Falls, Mont, May 1.-THE
heaviest cattle and sheep loss in the
history of Montana, the damage to
which will be $5,OOO,OOO, has been caus-

has been raging for the past three
days. In some sections fully 80 per
cent. of the sheep on the ranges have
persisted.
Three herders, at least. have wander
ed away in the binding storm and have
been frozen to death. An aged herder

hope that they can be found alive.
Herders have abandoned their fiocks on
every hand and fed for safety to the
settlements and ranches.

has ever before been witnessed in

Many Attended the Interment at
Pennington Cemetery.

Mcintosh, Ca, May 19.-The remains
OF the late Capt. S. D. Bradwell were
inferred in the Pennington cemetery
on Sunday. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. A. S. Allen, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church. A large con-
course followed his remains to the last
resting place by the side of his wife,
who died several years ago.
The Morning News made the an
nouncement of Capt. Bradwells death
which occurred last Friday at his
home at Shapes, Fla.
Capt. Bradwell's illness dated back
to the first of May picnic at Oleander
Point, Cocoa, on which occasion he
was the orator of the day. Capt. Brad
well was born in Hinesville, Liberty
county, Georgia, on Jan. 5, 1910, and
his boyhood schooling was received
there under the tutelage of his father.
He was a graduate of Oglethorpe
University, Milledgeville, along with
Pelham, Sidney Lanier and others who
have become famous. He entered the
Confederate army at 10 years of
age, and was elected captain upon the
reorganization of the volunteers, being
Company H, Twenty-fifth Georgia
Regiment, C. C. Wilson, colonel, aft
erwards the famous, w. H. T. Walker,
colonel.
He was wounded at Atlanta, July o.
1854, by fragment of a bombshell
while charging a federal battery-the
same day Gen. Mcpherson fell-and
was on crutches for two years.
On Jan. 2, 1868, he was married to
Miss Lizzie Clifton, daughter of Col
William Clifton of Tattnall county
Georgia, five children coming to bless
the union. OF these the two eldest died
two years ago, the three surviving be-
ing ]. DoWse, Miss Pauline and Mrs. R.
j. Quinn, all of Atlanta
In 1889, Capt. Bradwell represented
the Second Senatorial District in the
State Legislature.
From 1870 to 1891 he was principal of
the Bradwell Institute at Hinesville,
an educational institution that became
widely known during his incumbency.
In 1891 he was appointed state school
commissioner by Gov w. j. Northen,
in which capacity he served four years,
greatly developing school interests
throughout the state. In 1895 he was
elected president of the State Normal
School. The enrolment in 1901 was
900, the great increase being due to the
untiring labors of President Bradwell.
In this last year of his incumbency
his health became so greatly impaired
he was forced to resign and seek rest
in Florida.
His son, j. Dowse, and daughter, Miss
Pauline were with him in the last
hours and ministered as they best could
TO his wants. His body was taken to
Georgia, and given burial in the fam
lily lot in the Pennington Cemetery.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.1
< In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor OF this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camp
ing upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and in ] June
the case became SO bad he expected to
todie. One day, one of his eighbors
brought him one small bottle OF Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as q last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect OF the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for a fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by The Second Class
