Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become fieshy and plump it can
only result from the food we eat and digest
and that food should be albuminous or
fiesh-forming food. like eggs. beefsteak and
cereals: in other words the kind of food
that make flesh are the foods which form
the greater part OF our daily bills of fare
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough aud generally too much. the stom-
ach. from abuse and overwork. does not
properly digest and assiInilate it. which is
the reason so many people remain thin and
under weight, the digestive organs do not
completely digest the nesh-forming beef

Chief Coots,s Statement.

That the situation caused by the stoppage
of pumping at the north station of the In
dianapolis Water Company was a very
serious one was admitted last night by
Chief Coots.
The situation is very grave" said the
chief Although l do not know exactly
what pressure / could get in case of a
fire. | know that ii would not be enough
TO take care of a bad blaze. | am in hopes
that the north pumping station will be
working again in the morning, and believe
that it will if Fall creek continues to go
down. The river might rise higher than
il is now but if Fall creek lowers the
north station can pump water. 1t is the
creek that does the damage.

Shutdown.

Due to hard work and bags of sand, the
latter placed all around the street car pow

Mr. Graham was solid and sub

influential citizens of Williamsburg
county and was one of the veal hiest.
He built 6 miles of the Northeastern

New Year Changes

AS is usual at the beginning Of
the new year there have been several
changes of residence in town within
The past week. MIR William Epps
and family have moved to town into
the Brunson house, which, We un-
derstand has been purchased by MI
E c Epps. Mr. B B johnson has
moved across the railroad and With
family is occupying cottage on MI
Edwin Harper's place. Mr. J J 3
Montgomery has removed his family
to Mr. William Epps' house, about
mile from town. Mr. j n Ham
NETT has bought Mrs Strange's
property on West Main street and
has removed his family into the
dwelling that is included in the
purchase. Mr. Eugene Meyer, who
vacated the last named house, has
changed his place Of residence to one
of the Kellehan cottages near the
railroad. Thus there has been 9
general shifting Of the larss and
psnates Of a considerable number OF
our towns-people, all of whom, we
hope, will find themselves pleased
with and benefited by their change
of residence.

NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH.
Gold Bioooed tssas nation Of Sam
feiscn at Salte's Depot.

Sam Nelson, a rather notorious
negro, was killed at Salters Depot
last Saturday evening, between Z,
and 8 o'clock. The circumstances
of the killing, as could be learned
are as follows:
Nelson was visiting at negro
house near the railroad, abort $50
yards below the depot, and was
seated a-straddle of chair with his
back towards the fire and his hands
resting on the back of tn chair,
when some one from the outside
poked the muzzle of d single.barrel'
shotgun through a crack in the
house and shot he unsuspectlng VIC
tim as he sat in the position de-
scribsd. The gun was charged with
steel bullets-balls used in bicycle
bearings-lud the 10 ID took efect in
the negro's head, tearing the top of
it of and killing him instantly. The
deed was evidently deliberately
planued and was cold-blooded as
sssssinstion.
On account Of the existence of a
f,u of long standing between Sam
Nelson and family of five Davis
negroes, living nearby, to which was
added several strong points of cir
cumstantisl evidence, Linus Nelson,
brother of the deceased, swore out
warrant charging Henry Davis
with the murder, and Tom Davis, ST.,
Cesar Davis, Harrison Davis and
Randolph Davis as being accessory
thereto. The warrant was placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff H 0
Britton, who went over to Salters
Sunday morning after the killing
and succeeded in capturing four of
the negroes suspected; but Henry
Davis, the alleged principal of the
affair, broke and ran when Mr. Brit
ton approached, and made good his
escape, although the deputy sheriff
fired several shots from his pistol at
the fleeing fugitive. Up to this
time the escaped negro is still at
large.
On Sunday afternoon an inquest
was held over the remains of Nelson
aud the verdict rendered was that
the deceased came to his death from
gunshot wound at the hands of
Henry Davis and that Tom Davis,
ST., Caesar Davis, Harrison DAVIS
and Randolph Davis were accesso-
riss.
The evidence against Henry d.
Wis, although circumstantlal, is said
to be very strong. He is the owner
of single-barreled gun and on the
day of the killing was in Kingstree
land purchased some of the steel balls
with which the piece was loaded. 1t
is also charged that short while
after the shooting he was seen run
ming. away from the house where the
deed was committed. The four ne
groes suspected of completely will
probably be tried at the next term
Of court.

HE SHOULD COME IF POSSIBLE.

Judge Parker's abandonment of the proposed
Western "trip is regrettable. and especially In that
II depHves him Of visit to St Louis and The Fair
and disappoints Missourans in their expectations Of
meeting Democracy's leader.
His decision not to take the stump or TO Swing
around the circle" may be commended, since it ap-
pears that the utmost dignity should be preserved
by the candidate representing issue Of such gray
fly and profound importance as that Of constitu-
tionalism, but it is Uncomfortable that visit to Mis-
souri, and the Fair could In any way detract from
the propriety Of bis demeanor.
1t may be urged in favor Of his visiting this State
that 1t is the head and front of Democracy Missouri
is the great bulwark against which Repubicanisrn
inevitably breaks. Missouri leads the Solid South
ward march, and visit by the candidate to Mis-
souri, would be in meaning and effect q visit to the
Southern and Western Democracy.
1t would unquestionably have a solidifying
strengthening and stimulating effect, welding
closer relationship between the Eastern and the
Western and Southern elements of the party, and
infusing into the Western and Southern campaigns
personal element and interest which could not be
otherwise impaired.
Moreover. 1t should be urged. Judge Parker ought
not to miss the Fair. As visitor to the Fair he
would not be considered a "campaigner'; his visit
would be nonpotical. The Fair is of sufficient mag
nifcence and attraction to warrant visit 10y all the
great men Of the country-and great men are among
Its most representative displays. The Fair suffers
in the absence Of Judge Parker and he is distinctly
loser In falling to II. 1t may be hoped that
he will alter his plans to the extent Of permitting
trip to the greatest exposition of the world.
