Condemned Murderer Dead.

Pete johnson, one of three broth
erS in Jail at GAINESVILLE under a
sentence of death, charged with the
murder of a man named Martin Red
mond, of the Needmore vicinity, of
Montgomery county, and whose case
has been pending before the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee, is dead.
His death came at the county Jail
from consumption. He was nearly
40 years of age. Another one of
the three brothers is sick with the
same disease and the gallows seems
likely to be robbed of two victims.

The west should take time by the
forelock and insist, by legislation if
Take Time by necessary, upon
proper methods of
cutting and refor-
estation. The state has an interest in
the preservation of its forests which is
paramount to the right of the private
landholder. In the east what is being
done is largely in the way of locking
the stable door after the horse has been
stolen. With the great forest areas in
Minnesota and Wisconsin these states
should adopt a forest policy before il
is too late to be made of any value. De-
mutation should be made impossible
without some reforestation. The great
est benefit, however, will be derived
from control of the cutting in such
a manner as to make denudation i'm
possible, and the state can do this now
better than later.

A note of family pride was struck in the

their respective grandfathers in the civil war
were being depicted by two of the boys in
vivid colors. Tie career of each, it seemed
had been halted by confinement in southern
prisons, and it was on the latter fact that the
lads laid particular stress. The third youth,
unable to match these recitals with any

Must Pay in sixty Days.

The Supreme Court has upheld
the constitutionality Of the act of
1901, which imposes penalty of rs
per cent. on insurance companies for
failure to settle promptly within
sixty days after proof of loss by fire
has been filed. The court said the
legislature had not exceeded its au-
thority in passing law to protect
honest claimants against damage
and loss by vexatious delays and in
terminablc objections interposed by
insurance companies in the adjust
ment of claims.

Compulsory Vaccination.

The Knoxville and Knox county
boards of health last week issued
mandates for compulsory vaccina-
ton. This is taken as IA precaution-
AIRY measure to prevent the spread OF
smallpox. The fact that IA new rail
road is being built in that section
has brought scores Of cases into the
city and spread the disease. The
compulsory order is expected to bear
good fruit. There has been con-
siderable decrease in the attendance
at the public schools during the past
week.

A constantly increasing number of

called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in

medical profession to-day Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which affliets mankind.
