Bright's Disease and
Diabetes News.
San Francisco, June ii.

To the Druggists of Minnesota:
Dear Sirs: The discovery in this
city Of a new diuretic is saving thou
sands of lives. 1t is hard for people
to believe who are not eye witnesses.
You, as brother druggist we'll know
that UP to this time chronic Bright's
Disease and Diabetes have been nee
essarily fatal. It is so no longer. And
I not only know this by being on the
ground, but I was also one Of the pa
tients. I had both Bright's Disease
and Diabetes and looked upon death
as inevitable. I was so prejudiced
I wouldn't buy the new treatment
couldn't believe it. So they gave it
to me to prove it. I not only recov-
cred but have since given it to some
where near fifty patients and know of
only three or four failures.

of a brother pharmacists the abso-
lutte durability of these tlread diseases

pointed you to represent. them in your

are lives to be saved and friends tc

Madison, Wis, Aug. 6.-Upon the
outcome of a case which will be ar
gued in the supreme court Tuesday
depends largely the next governor
ship Of Wisconsin, and there is a
chance, it remote one, that the
presidency of the United States may
hang in the balance.
Technically, the question at issue
will be whether the La Toilette or the
Cook state tickets can use the term
republican on the official ballot.
The two principal questions involved
are:
Will there be two state tickets in
Wisconsin this year, each claiming to
be republican and asking for repub-
lican votes?
Will the republican candidates for
presidential electors run under the
title of republican" or that of in
dependent"

NORTH DAKOTA
BARRY'S APPEAL
'!For1ner Jeopardy Relied Upon to
Save Mellem's Slayer.

Save Mcilem'S Slayer.
GRAND FORKS, N. D.-The Will
liam Barry appeal will probably be
argued at the September term of the
supreme court to be held in this city.
The transcript of the last trial is in
the hands of his attorneys and the ap
peal is being prepared on the grounds
mainly of former Jeopardy, the claim
being made that Barry was convicted
of manslaughter in the second trial Of
the case at Langdon, and that Judge
John +. CoWan declined to accept the
verdict, owing to the jury fixing the
penalty at seven years in the peni-
tertiary, when the penal code pro-
vides a punishment Of not less than
ten years.
G. E. Burgess, one Of the stockhold-
esr of the North Dakota Telephone
company, seeks to have the affairs Of
the corporation wound up and a re-

the telephone line has been converted

clusion Of the telephone business.
Edwards, Wood & Co. are said to own
the majority of the stock in the COM
pany by recent purchases, and the

commission telegraph system, accord

who was one of the original stock
holders,

The Sumter Elks who assisted in the
institution of new Lodge in George
town lastThursday night returned aome
next morning. They went down Thurs
day morning and we're met at Lanes by
delegation of Georgetown Elks who
had a special train waiting to take
them to Georgetown where they arriv-
ed in time for dinner They were en-
tertained during their stay in the city
at the Tourist Hotel and were shown
every possible attention and courtesy
by the hosts who left nothing undone
that tended to make their visit
pleasant. The lodge was Instituted
with the fine form and ceremony and
the Georgetown Elks were made to
feel that they were given all that they
were entitled to in this respect.
After the institution of the lodge
the members of Georgetown Lodge aud
their guests adjourned from the lodge
room to the hotel where an elegant
banquet was served.
The Sumter Elks are enthusiastic
over their trip to Georgetown and one
and all declare that they never en-
joyed visit anywhere more and that
they had the most delightful hosts
they over encountered.

NEGRO lYNCHED IN OHIO.
He Surrendered After Shooting
Policeman, But Mob Took Him
From Jail and Killed Him.

Springfield, O., March 7.-Richard
Dixon, a negro. was shot to death here
tonight by mob, for the killing OF
Policeman Charles Coils, who died to-
day from wounds received at the hands
of Dixon on Sunday.
Coils had gone to Dixon's room on
The negro's request. Dixon said his
mistress had his clothes in her posses
sion. Coils accompanied Dixon to
the room and in d short time the man
and woman engaged in quarrel which
resulted in Dixon shooting the
woman, who is variously known as
Anna or Mamie Corbin, in the left
breast, just over the heart. She fell
unconscious at the first shot and Coils
jumped towards the negro to prevent
escape from the room Dixon then
fred four balls into Coils, the last of
which penetrated MS abdomen. Dixon
went Immediately to police head
quarters and gave himself up. He was
taken to Jail.
AS soon as Collis' death became
known talk of lynching the negro was
heard and tonight crowd began to
gather about the Jail.
At II o'clock the negro was taken
from the jail and shot to death in the
jail yard and the body was taken from
there to the corner of Main street and
Fountain avenue and hung to tele-
graph pole where the mob spent the
next half hour riddiing the body with
bullets from several hundred revolvers.
The mob forced an entrance to the
jail by butting in the east doors with
a railroad iron. At 1890 o'clock the
mob melted rapidly and it was the
general opi1ion that no more attempts
would be made to force an entrance.
Small groups of men, however, could
be seen in the shadows Of the court
house, two adjacent livery stables and
several dwelling houses.
At 10. 45 clock the police were salts
fed that there was nothing more to
fear aud they, with other officials and
newspaper men, passed freely in and
out of the jail. Shortly before Ii
O'Clock a diversion was made by a
small crowd moving from the east
doors around to the south entrance.
The police followed and bluff was
made at jostling them eff the steps
leading to the south entrance. The
crowd at this point kept growing.
while yells of "hold the police, y
s'smash the doors.'' Lynch the
nigger' were made interpsersed with
revolver shots.

distant day reap our reward in sick
ness and death. We may talk Of prog
rsss and growth and development and
what not, and boast of our prosperous
city, but all the while We are nur-
turing in our midst cankerous sore,
hidden though it may be, in the hum
dreds of cess pools that are permitted
to exist because we 30 feared addition
al taxation that we have refused to
build with the least possible delay a
modern sanitary system for the dis
posal of the sewerage Of the city.
There is no uss to listen to or heed
those who declare with the dogmatism
of ignorance and selfshness that the
time has not yet come when the need
of sewerage system is imperative.
The need is not only imperative now:
but has been from the day the water
works were installed. The highest
authorities on municipal sanitation,
men who have made the subject life
long study, are united in asserting that
wherever system of water works ex-
lists there should also be system for
the Fremoval of sewerage. The need
is not only imperative today when the
city is menaced by hundreds Of cess
pools, each one center of disease-In-
cubation, but this need was foreshad-
owed when the first cesspool was per-
mitted in the city; and at that time
the conditions that now confront US
were foreseen and predicted by those
who gave to the subject the least con-
sideration. It is not what the sewer
age system will cost that should con-
Germ US as citizens, bat what it will
cost us to do without it. Place on one
side the additional taxes we would pay
after the sewerage system is completed
and set against it the needless sick
ness, deaths, Doctors bills and other
ills, we shall endure il we foster cess
lools to breed disease and pestilence
instead of spending $4,000 to build a
sewerage system for our good and pro-
lection.

All this time the party With the
heavy railroad iron was beating at the
east door which soon yielded to the
battering ram as did the inner lattice
iron door The mob then surged
through the east door, overpowered the
sheriff, turnkey and haudful OF depct-
les, and began the assault on the iron
turnstile leading TO the cells. The
police from the south door were called
inside to keep the mob from the cells
and in five minutes the south door had
shared the fate Of the east one.
In an incredibly short time the jail
was filed with mob of $50 men with
all the entrances and yard gates block
ed by fully 9, 500 men, thus.~making it
impossible for the militia to have pre-
vented access to the negro, had it BEEN
on the scene. The heavy iron parti-
tion leading to the cells resisted the
mob effectually until cold chisels and
sledge hammers arrived, which were
only two or three minutes later in an
| irving. The paddock to the turnstile
was broken and the mob soon filed
the corridors leading to the cells. See
ing that further resistance was useless
and to avoid the killing of innocent
prisoners the authorities consented to
the demand Of the mob for the right
man. He was dragged FROM his cell to
the jail door and thence down the
stone steps to court in the Jail yard.
Fearing an attempt on the part of the
police to rescue him the leaders formed
a hollow square.
| 4 Some one knocked the negro to the
ground and those near him fell back
four or five feet. Nine shots were fred
into his prostrate body, and satisfied
that he was dead and with triumphant
cheer the mob surged into Columbia
street and marched to Fountain
avenue, one OF the principal streets
Of the town.
From here they marched south to
the intersection of Main street, and
rope was tied around Dixon's neck.
Two men climbed the pole and threw
the rope over the topmost cross-arm
and drew the body about is feet above
the street. They then descended and
their work was greeted with a cheer.
The fusillade then begun and for so
minutes the body was kept swaying
back and forth from the force of the
rain of bullets which was poured in
on it. Frequently the arms would fly
up convulsively when a muscle was
struck, and the mob went fairly wild
with delight.
Throughout it all perfect order was
maintained and every one seemed in
the best of humor, joking with his
nearest neighbor while reloading his
revolver.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

The sewerage question will again be
al issue in the municipal campaign
and all of the candidates Will be called
on to define their position on this i'm
portant matter that cannot be much
longer neglected if the city is to con-
tiaue to grow and prosper. A COM
pEete sewerage system will cost good
deal-aoout s75. 900 all told-but the
sanitary conditions here will soon
reach stage that sewerage will not
be question Of dollars, but of public
health, which is of far more value
than the greatest horde of gold a
sniser ever accumulated. There are
today several hundred cess pools in
Sumter, and the number grows daily,
even those who have always recogniz-
ed that they were menace to the
health Of the community and have
always striyen TO have rigid law en-
acted and enforced to prevent their
construction or use, have fallen into
line with the evil practices of the
times and now enjoy what are termed
the comforts and conveniences essen
tial to modern city life. The people
of Sumter cannot reasonably hope to
escape the consequences of their own
acts, and it is folly to blind cur eyes
to the fact that If we continue to con-
eaminate the soil by pouring into it
annually millions of gallons of waste
water and sewerage, We shall at no

Though not incorporated and consid-
ering the large percentage of colored
in this and adjoining townships, we
have remarkably good behavior.
There is seldom any fights and shoot
