A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change of diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
FIVE years, and two doctors here in
Kenosha that treated me for over a
year both told me there was no help
for me. Then I had an expert from
Chicago, but still received no relief;
then followed another expert from
Chicago who came to our house two
times month for four months. He
gave me UP like all the others and
told me to take trip across the
ocean which / did in the year 1899,
and came home about as bad as when
1 started. The doctors told me my
stomach lining was full of sores. Then

coffee. Fork and all the greasy foods
and began using Postum Food Coffee.

what looked like life preserver COW
ering. Coroner O'Gorman says he
found a quantity of pulverized cork
inside the womans waist. He thinks
she tried to save her life by donning
the preserver and that it went to
pieces. When Coroner O'Gorman dis
covered the cork he said:
81 may use this in fixing the blame
for the death of this woman when
her body is identified. She had been
cool enough to put on the life pre-
server and had it been in good con-
dttion she might have had a chance
for life
Fully 80 per cent. of the victims of
the disaster were insured in the three
leading insurance companies handling
what is called industrial insurance.
They Should Have Waited.
Capt. William n. Van schaick of
the Slocum, who is in Lebanon Hos
pitaI, told something of the disaster
to Samuel Marx, one of the inspectors
of the institution, to-day.
According to Mr.. Marx, the life
preservers had been regularly inspect
ed by the proper authorities in the
spring of the present year, and only
one had been condemned as bad. Van
Schaick, Mr.. Marx said, told him that
all the preservers were on the hurri-
cane deck. Mr.. Marx said that Van
Schaick told him that his idea in
running to North Brother Island was
to get to shallow water, where the
people could wade ashore. If they
had waited, as did Van Schaick and
his pilots, hundreds that had lost their
lives by jumping into the river, could
have been saved by reaching the
beach, Van Schaick and Pilots Van

Found Daughters Bodies.
Jacob Michsel identified the body of
his daughter Carrie. II years old, late
in the afternoon. He was slowly walk
ing along the line of collins when he
suddenly halted and with moan, fell
to his knees in several inches of water
and reaching into coffin, raised the
head of child and began to kiss the
cold lips fervently. Earlier in the day
the man had been to the morgue and
identified the charred body of his mar
ried daughter, Mrs. Catherine Cohers,
and that Of his year-old grandson.
The bodies of his daughter and
grandson had been burned almost be-
yond recognition, but Michsel did not
seem to be as much affected by that
awful sight as he was when he saw lit
tie Carries body in the coffin. He had
to be dragged from the coffin by the
police and was forced to leave the pier.
The body of Lena Alderman. IS
months old. was identified this after
noon by her father. Mr.. Alderman
was walking out on the pier, when he
saw some photographers slant coffin
against the side of the pier and at
tempt to take picture of two bodies
therein. He recognized the features of
his baby, and rushing forward, tore
the body from the coffin. 1t was some
time before the police could persuade
him to give it up. Alderman was ac-
companied by his partner, Theodore
Mol, who had identified three members
of his family.

which was declared by neighbors
to be that of the little daughter of
Henry Heinz of Front street, was
washed up against the side of
pier Mt the foot of Clinton street, In
the East river, hardly a block
away from the girls home. The
tide, by a strange vagary, had car

of the calamity of North Brother

channel of the river to this point,
so near her home. The girls

Not True, But humlilatlng.

A highly ludicrous story that comes
as an echo Of the Indianola pastoffice in
cident reaches here from that now IA
nous community, says jackson special.
According to prominent citizen of
Indianola, who is visitor at the cap
ital, Minnie Cox, the former postmis-
tress, few days since had her house
newly painted. The residence is one of
the neatest in Indianola, and it was
beautifully adorned with coat of white
paint, the roof being coated with bright
green. Inside and out, the residence
was thoroughly renovated, and from
some mysterious source originated the
story that President Roosevelt was pre-
pairing to come to Indianola on visit of
several days with Minnie Cox.
The story rapidly spread among the
negroes Of the community, and caused
much excitement, several darkeys even
quitting their jobs in order to prepare
for the Presidents coming. Some Of
them believe the story yet, ynd are ca
gerly awaiting the arrival Of Teddy.

A High Compliment.

IN conversation with citizen Of
Greenwood one day last week, the tray-
cling auditor Of the postoRce depart
mcnt made the assertion that The Com
lnonwealth had the largest circulation
Of any other Mississippi newspaper.
When Governor Vardaman left the pa
per IT was gcuerally expected that the
general circulation Of the paper would
experience general falling of. Con-
trafy 70 expectations, this has not been
the ease. "A few have stopped the pa
per on this account, but the increased
quantity Or local matter has enabled us
to add two new subscribers for each
one we have lost. The Commonwealth
now circulates an edition Of 1900 copies
weekly, two thirds of which goes TO sub-
scribers siding in the Greenwood ter
ritory.

A High Compliment
TO GreenWOOd'S Mayor.

We observe in the last issue of
the Greenwood Commonwealth that
Mayor w. S. Vardaman is a candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Vardaman
has unquestionably made one of the
best Mayors in the State of Mis-
sissippi. In fact he has gained a
Statewide reputation for his eff
cheney in office. He has, to great
extent, freed his little city from vice
and vagrancy, and turned into
Greenwood's treasury a little over
five thousand dollars. Such rec
ord deserves a unanimous endorse
ment by the people Of Greenwood
