The Stomach is t Q Man,

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot dt-
gest enough food to feed the tissues and
revive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifes, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach. and cures Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. w.

A WORD WITH THE
HOUSE=KEEPERS.

As nearly as every one knows Baking
Powder is substance used for aerating bread
or making 1t rise. If Baking Powder is COM
together in exact proportions, it remains in per-
feet condition so long as it is kept away from air
and moisture AS soon as water is added to Bak-
ing Powder the different chemicals atonce begin
to act upon each other, and in doing, Hberate
gas which, in escaping, raises the bread and
makes it porous. The value of Baking Powder
depends upon the amount of gas it viii generate.

SLEW WIFE and SIX BABES.
Missouri Farmer Exterminates HIS
Whole Family and Then Mortally
Wounds Himself.

Adolph Krauss, a farmer IIvfng near
Bellefontaine, Missouri, killed his wife
and six children with sledge ham
mer Wednesday. He then knocked
himself unconscious with the hammer
and was found in a dying condition.
It Is believed Krauss suddenly be-
came insane. He had the reputation
among his neighbors of being a quiet,
inoffensiye, Industrious farmer, and no
other cause but insanity has been as
signed. Early Wednesday night John
Krauss, brother, went to Adolph's s
house. The lights were out, but the
door was unlocked, and this aroused
his suspicious. He entered the house,
and upon striking a hight found that
there had been tragedy.
From all that can be learned, Adolph
Krauss entered the house some time
during the afternoon armed with a
sledge hammer. Without warningshe
struck his wife on the head, killing her
instantly, then seizing his child, IL
years Of age, he dealt her fatal blow.
The other five children were killed
similarly, the youngest being six
months old babe. Krauss then placed
the seven bodies side by side on the
floor in one room, seized the hammer
and dealt himself blow on the head.

COTTON FACTORS ACQUITTED.
Tried on Charge of Selling Staple for
More Than Client Received.

Tried on Charge of Selling Staple for
More Than Client Received.
The trial of Henry Newman and
Harris Hyman for embezzlement end
ed at New Orleans in acquittal. They
were at one time about the wealthics,
and most prominent cotton firm in the
city, and are still doing a large busi-
ness.
A year ago Colonel Buckner, a lead.
ing cotton planter of north Louisiana,
accidentally discovered that some cot
ton which he had consigned to the
firm and which their return to him
showed that it had been sold at IA
cents pound, had really brought 1-2
cents. He came to the city posthaste
and asked a settlement to cover all
his dealings for some years. The firm
paid him $4,000. Other claims were
also made and the cotton exchange eX-
PEELED them, and endeavored to keep
the matter quiet. But it got out and
then the grand jury indicted them.
This was the trial of the first case
and attracted great interest, besides
giving employment to an array of law
yers.
The defense was that the money
was paid to avoid litigation, as the
Arm had s1,000,t0O outstanding among
cotton planters, and not to cover any
wrongdoings. The firm also claimed
that when cotton was sold in bulk at a
uniform price 1t was averaged, the cot.
ton worth more getting above the sale
price. It held that some cotton sold
with Buckner's at 9 IL cents was PAID
for at the rate of 3-4, while Buck
ner's was worth only IA cents and
waS so credited.

GOULD LOOKS TO BRUNSWICK.
Thriving Georgia Port May be Select
ed by Railroad Magnate for His
Tidewater Terminus.

A New York special says: George
]. Gould plans to reach tidewater on
the Atlantic coast at a more southerly
port than Baltimore, as well as at that
city. The second tidewater point Will
probably be Brunswick, Ga. Baltimore
is to be the tidewater port for the Wa
bash connection with the West Vir.
ginia Central and Western Maryland.
Gould's Texas Pacific and Internation-
al and Great Northern roads are reach
ing over into the south and If present
plans are carried out will be into Biz.
mingham almost as quickly as the
Rock Island will be through the pur-
chase Of the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco.
The Gould plan for effecting a south.
western consolidation, to be known as
the Greater Missouri Pacific system
includes ports for export on the Allan
tic coast as well as on the Gulf OF Me1'
leo. Both the International and Great
Northern and the Texas and Pacific
will afford splendid southwestern con.
nections for a line in which the Goulds
are interested. This line will, within
q short time carry them from ShreVe-
port, La, to Vicksburg, and on to Me-
ridian, in Mississippi, long step for
ward toward Birmingham.
The connection from Shreveport to
Delta on the Mississippi river, which
the Goulds will secure, is the VicRs'
burg, Shreveport and Pacific.
The transportation across the Mis-
sissippi to Vicksburg will be by the
railway ferry owned by the Mississip'
pie and Louisiana Transportation
Company.
Once into Vicksburg line could be
very easily built as distance OF about
200 miles to Birmingham, or by absorb
ing the Alabama and Vicks9urg, the
Gould system would reach Meridian,
leaving a gap Of only about 60 miles
into Birmingham.
