You see" said she in her naive
manner, my long and tedious illness
made sad inroads on my vitality and
strength, and when 1 first caught
glimpse of myself in the mirror l did
not wonder that my friends were
alarmed and thought my days were
numbered. Of course l lost flesh
from the consuming fever, and my
nervous system was almost wreck,
so that when l commenced to recover
it became necessary for me to take
strong tonic Notwithstanding
that would build up my wasted and
shattered condition. At this time
friend told me of the great healing
and vitalizing powers of TO-NI-TA,
the new and wonderful Mucous Mem
brane Bitters discovered by DR.. Lo-
rentz, and with the approval of my
own physician, DR.. Henry w. Frauen-
thai, l commenced to take it. I must
say that from the very start it gave
me fresh vigor and vitality and acted
like magic in bringing me back to
health and strength. 1t contains some
latent and subtle power, and its nour-
ishing vitalizing and healing qualities
are really miraculous. When l got
on my feet I soon became tired and
exhausted and before starting for the
theater I always took some of my be-
loved TO-NI-TA, as it inspired me in
Stantly with courage and strength and
1 had no difficulty in going through
the performance.
"I have seen TO-NI-TA perform
miracles. I recall an occasion when l
was playing at the Circle Theater,
New York. Among the specialties was
thrilling act by Miss Adjie, the lion
tanner, who went through such a dar-
ing and blood-freezing performance
with the animals while in the cage
Well, on the afternoon in question
Adjie somehow lost her nerve and
went all to pieces. so that her after
noon act had to be omitted The poor
girl came to me in great distress and
after telling me that she could not go
on at once proceeded to feed her
on TO-NI-TA. and when the curtain
was rung up on her performance that
night she had recovered her nerve and
courage, and gave one of the greatest
acts of her life. I don't know from
whence or in what manner DR.. Lo-
rentz derived his Inspiration, but I do
know that TO-NI-TA is one of the
greatest Godsends to mankind"
It makes no difference how run
down. weak, wasted or nervous you
may be- TO-NI-TA will build you up
and restore you to health and
strength. Miss Dressler is but one of
many thousands who have been re-
stored through its marvellous powers.
You will feel better with the first few
doses and soon be cured completely.
TO-NI-TA is guaranteed to contain no
cocaine, morphine or other dangerous
drug, and is sold by all druggists or
direct. 81 per bottle.

TO-NI-TA is a laxative tonic. You
need no pills or tablets. Beware OF
nostrlIms and patent medicines thas
constipate; they ruin the lining of the
stomach and bowels. Ask your drug
gist for TO-NI-TA, and refuse substi-
tuteS and limitations.

al depository the people have confidence
in it. OF the private bank, however,
the opinion is wholly different. There
are a few. however, who are inclined
to predict payments. The great ma
jority have abandoned all hope. In the
private bank was the money of women
who had been laying away little at
a time. There, too, has been placed by
more than one, the money which came
from some insurance companies as

Pay Day, but No Pay.
It was pay day with both the police
and fire department to-day. The police
pay roll runs to about $4,000, while
the money going out monthly to the
firemen is about the same amount. The

on the same day, runs the aggregate

Inquiry developed the fact that the
city has been carrying part of its
money in the /. c. Plants Sons Bank
and part of it in the Exchange Bank.
The deposit in the Exchange Bank
was not sufficient to meet the pay roll,
and the men were informed that they
would be paid off tomorrow. No
one has any doubt as to the result
and the members of the departments
are perfectly satisfied. There are
thousands in every bank in Macon
subject to the call of the city for the
purpose indicated.

the result of no sudden determine ton,
but was due to the probability that
force attempting to hold this place
could be separated from Port Arthur
and captured thus inhicting further
loss of prestige to the Russians. which
could not be permitted at this time.
To defend the whole of the southern
end of the Lao Tung peninsula, it
would have been necessary to have
an army equal to that which the Japa-
nese could have landed.
The weakness of the Manchurian
force, said this officer, left only one
course, namely, that of modelling suf-
fcient troops at Port Arthur to hold
it until relief came and abandoing
every point outside which did not con-
tribute to the strategic defence of the
fortress. 1t has been learned that the
ground over which the Japanese must
charge to capture the fortress is heavi-
ly mined. If they do capture it. the
officer said, they will pay a frightful
price.

FOR KERR BAY MINES.

Toxic, May 17.-Admiral Kataoka re-
ports that on the 18th the operation of
removing the mines in Kerr bay was
continued by the torpedo boats under
protection of a bombardment by the

defence except the addition of two or
three field guns to their position, which
had the effect of interrupting the
work of clearing the bay of the mines.
Nevertheless. the Japanese destroyed
eight mines. but there are many more

CL0WRY SHUTS OFF
ALL RACING NEWS.
Wants to See if He Can stop New
York Pool Rooms.

New York, May 17.-CoL Robert C.
Clowry, president and general man
ager OF the Western Union Telegraph
Company, suddenly shut off all serv-
ice of racing news to all classes of
subscribers in this city to-day. This
action of Col Clowry, taken entire
ly on his own initiative, without in
structions from his board Of directors
or any pressure from the authorities,
was the result of claims recently made
public by police officials that the pool
rooms of New York city could not
exist without the Western Union sery-
ice.
The pool rooms here went on doing
business to-day after the Western
Union Telegraph Company discontinued
the delivery of reports of horse races
to its subscribers In this city. In many
cases the delay in receiving reports
did not exceed ten minutes when the
service of the company stopped. Re
ports were sent from the Morris Park
track TO points In New Jersey, from
which they were telephoned to the pool
rooms in New York. In several in
stances, 1t is said, the desired infor-
nation was obtained by way of Boston
and Providence.
Much interest was shown by police
officials as to the effect the Western
Unions action would have on the pool
rooms and after the company's service
had been cut off a raid was made by
Police Inspector Mclaughlin on whaS
was said to be a pool room exchange.
Eleven men were arrested and the po-
lice report that the usual business was
being conducted, chiefly by telephone.
District Attorney Jerome tonight ex-
pressed himself as still dissatisfied with
the attitude of the Western Union
Company. He intimated that Presi-
dent Clowry's order affected legitimate
service of the telegraph company more
than it did pool rooms. and that the
order was IAN effort to coerce the pub
lic."

The County Commissioners,

The Board of County Commissioners held regular monthly meeting last night and transacted the business which had accumulated in the recess time. One of the interesting features of the meeting was the receipt of a report from the members of the Board who had attended the meeting of the Good Roads Association in South Flor ida few days ago. This was given by Road Supervisor Baggett of this county. who was of tha opinion that his own county was not very far be- hind in the matter of building roads.
 Another interesting feature of the meeting was the censure of a news paper reporter who, 1t was claimed, had put the touch of the sensational upon a report which had been published of tHe last regular meeting. The reporter made an apology for anything which might have been colored, but cited the fact that some things which he had suppressed would have added consid- erably to the sensation.

will recover soon. Engineer Boghich was scalded by escaping steam from the waist down. and his condltion is serious Fireman Villar had ms reg broken, and was otherwise hurt. Not a member of the crew escaped some injury.
 A light train left here early last afternoon. The orders were to pro ceed to Crestview and pick up ten loaded freight cars, carrying lumber and timber, and bring them to the city. The run to Cresfview was made and the return trip was begun under favorable circumstances.
 At A point near Crestview there is A steep grade and the momentum of the train forced the engine down this incline at a terrific rate. About the time the bottom was reached, and when the train was moving at very high rate of speed, the fange on the engine broke and caused the big ma chine to jump on its side. This pulled from the rails the nine cars immedi- ately behind, and in an instant there was a damage of thousands of dollars for everything was splintered and the engine crushed like so much fragile superstructure.
 Nine cars piled almost on the top of dne another and the brakeman, who was III the center or the train, was killed instantly The conductor rush ed to the telegraph station and noti- fled headquarters here.
 A special train was made up at once and Superintendent Saltmarsh, sur geon, Chief Clerk Weekly and Chief Dispatcher McCaskill were passengers. The run to the scene was made in re- cord breaking time and the injured were immediately attended. It was found that of the injured, the engineer was suffering most pain, and the at- tention given him was the first.
 They were all brought to the city, the body of the dead brakeman hav- ing been recovered from the debris. MT. Boghich was taken to his home and favorable report comes from his room this afternoon.
 Three hundred feet of track was torn up and the cars were so badly bat tered that they or the engine will hardly be serviceable for many weeks if at all.
 Railroad men say that this is the costliest wreck experienced on this division since the operation many years ago, and it is an unexplained mystery how any member of the crew escaped with his life, to look at the piled up cars.
