Why IL In Called Rubber.

tongue?' The antiquary answered: Rub
Der comes from the good old English verb
to rub. Its proper title Is caoutchouc, a
word that is derived from the native South
American term 'cahuchu.' You see. when
In England they first began 10 use rubber
they thought IL was TO serve but one pur-
pose, namely. to rub. erase. lead pencil
marks from paper. So they dropped
caoutchouc and called the cubical pieces
Of one-half inch, for which they paid 8
shillings each, rubber Those pieces
served the sole purpose Of rubbers, and

rubber would be the least. Yes to-day
not a thousandth Of the millions of pounds
OF rubber used annually serves the purpose

ion. should be dropped for gum elastic or,
better still. caoutchouc' which, by the
way, Is pronounced Hitchcock with the

To find you at my side once of yore,

F OR MATISM

All forms of Rheumatism, Lumbago, ociducd' etc, are seen, under microscopic e4amlnatlon, to be the result of clusters or tenacious and venomous and highly in- nammatory microbes in the blood and in the joints Of the frame, the wrists el- bows, knees, ankles, hip joints hack and Joins, and in various muscles incIuding those Of the heart, and other vital or. gans The excruciating Soreness of tha infiamed joints, the stiffening and swell ing of the limbs to the point of comnla,o o physical disablement. The main tha rises to paroxysms of agony and the Ire quent involvement of the body in bjoh rheumatic fever, all are due to inc ne, sonous souring and vitiation of humon blood under the terrible germ of rheuma- a- tism. And from the testimony of thons- ands upon thousands of chronic sufferers who have resorted to Microbe Killer as an antidote, it would seem that the disease never fails to yield to its purifying en- ergy; showing the law of the cure to be the elimination of the rheumatic germs and germ poisons from the joints, the muscles and the blood.
 Arthur B. Fogle, Cumberland, Md. writes: I had been suffering with Rheu- matism for eighteen months, during which time had to keep my limbs in bandaRes I had taken many medicines without re- lief when I commenced using the Mi crobe Killer. It cured me completely and I cannot speak too highly of it.

Bills carrying these rec concentrations into effect were introduced by MT Callahan of Morgan.
 Another bill recommended the appro- priation of 2,50O annually for chaplain and a night school for convicts.
 rs President J. M. Carmichael of tLe BoNrd of Convict Inspectors appeared before the committee in the interest of the bills. The committee acted favorably upon the bills and they were reported yesterday af- ternoon.

s..- Mobile, Sept. fl.
 The hurricane warning, received in Mo- bile Saturday by the local Weather Bu- reau, and posted conspicuously, notify ing the public generally that a hurricane was forming in the Gulf and headed for Mobile and due to arrive here yesterday morning, naturally created great uneas- mess, not only in shipping circles, but among residents generally. Orders were at once sent to captains of vessels clear ed and ready to sail, not to leave port, and people in the business district made preparations to meet the storm. This pre- caution fortunately proved unnecessary, as the day passed without a sign of im- pending danger, and this morning ves- sells sailed for their destined ports. About noon, however, clouds gathered from the north and the fears of the day before were revived, but the fears proved groundless as there was nothing devel- oped therefrom except copious shower and cooling of the atmosphere.
 Yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock, fire was discovered in a residence on North Madison, between Royal and St. Emanuel Strets An alarm was turned in from box No. 26, and the department responded. This house, owned by Mrs. Rouse, was totally destroyed, and the one adjoining, owned by Dave Scott, was materially damaged.
 Chief Tom Price of the Fire Depart ment this morning said that the origin of the Barney -Cavanaugh Hardware Com- pany fire was due to spontaneous combus- ton, same having originated in the sec- ond floor among some oils and paints The damage has not yet been adjusted

P Advertiser Bureau. ,En Selma Rant IA

F.. -s.-stt Selma, Sept. IA. Dallas county. unlike other counties of the State. has never had county teras- urer. In lieu thereof the Court of Coun- 'ty Revenues has had authority to desig- nate some banking institution to receive and pay out the county's funds. The nlsn mas worked very satisfactory except on the occasion when the county lost sev- eral thousand dollars by the failure of the Commercial Bank in 1897, which at that time was the treasurer of the coun. ty. The City National Bank was then made treasurer and has continued in that capacity ever since. Witness tickets. fury certincates and all other warrants are paid upon presentation to the tellers of the bank and the people have found if very convenient. The election bills nend- ing before the Legislature will change this state of affairs. as among the offi- cers which it is stated shall be elected the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in November. 1904. is named "one county treasurer" The knowledge of this provision has just become public to even some Of the best informed and already rumor has filled the office with at least two Democrats. These are Marion a, Smith and Thomas W. Barker. The first Is merchant who has extensive con- nections, especially on the South Side as the subdivision across the river ia known, and Is very popular throughouS the county. MT. Barker has charge of the circulation of The Advertiser in Selma. He held the position of tax as sessor for two terms. making one of the best officers the county ever had and would present a strong front to any op- ponent.
 The statement is made that under the provisions of the proposed law, the Gov ernor will have to appoint a treasurer for Dallas at once, and if this be true, there will be quite a spirited contest for endorsements.

 Death.

St, Petersburg, Friday, Sept. 11.-An orthodox archpriest, Vassllov, was stab bed to death in the streets of Alexan- dropol. trans Caucasia, August 26 The murderer escaped.
 The Novoe Vremya correspondent at Erivan, trans Caucasia, says the murder was one of series of assassinations com mitted by the Armenian manila, and adds that Vassillov had been blacklisted for converting the inhabitants of three Ar menian villages to the orthodox faith
 The correspondent further recounts an other recent brutal murder at Alexandro- pol railroad station in the presence of crowd of people. In this case the mur- derer easily made good his escape. Judi cial investigations of many of the mur- ders committed. 1t is asserted, show that 80 per cent of the many recent Armenian murders were the work of Armenians who emigrated from Turkey. inspired by fanaticism, and that the others were sim ply the crimes of paid assassins.
