Suicide Prevented.

The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been discov-
cred will interest many. A run down
system, or dependency invariably
precede suicide and something has
been found that will prevent that con-
ditiOn which makes suicide likely.
At the first thought of self
destruction take Electric Bitters 1t
being a great tonic and nervine will
strengthen the nerves and build up
the system. It's also a great Stom-

Window Displays.

The public is probably re-
minded Of their wants more
often than in any other way by
the merchants. by the many SER
viceable articles shown in the
store window. On South Market
street we notice a display of
tooth brushes in a window which
were bought as samples, and
good values may be had. A reg
ular p cents brush may be had
for 10 and 20 cents. while other
priced brushes are marked down
in proportion. We find each
brush sold is guaranteed to give
perfect satisfaction regardless of
price. One will therefore make
no mistake in purchasing from
this assortment. In another win
dow is displayed Woodbury. s
Soap. Powder and Facial Cream,
all of which are standard and
thoroughly reliable.
Inside this store is displayed a
line of sample hair brushes.
Here is where you get gen.
uine bargains. Twenty-Five cent
brushes for 20 cents. 50-cent
brushes for 40 cts, S1.00 brushes
for 20 and 80 cts, $1.25 brushes
for 90 cents, and so on up the
scale.
Stop at Johnston s. Gaines
drug store and be convinced of
these facts.

Parker and The South.

/ I~oOE - ~ < - - III u. - luigi
Parker intends to devote most OF
his time between now and
August 10th, the date Of his no.
LITIGATION. to the preparation OF
his letter of acceptance. tits an
nounced on the very best author
ity that the Judge will fully dis
cuss every plank of the platform
and viii emphasize his views on
the money plank. taking the
stand that the country desires
the gold standard and pledging
himself TO maintain it. This he
will do without offending the ad-
herents of silver any more than
possible under the circum-
stances.
However. he is to proceed upon
the still greater question of
trusts. Even his closest friends
confess they are wholly ia the
dark. As yet he has talked to
no one. That is. he has not in
terchanged views of any consid-
cradle length with any Of the
public characters that have Wis
tied Rosemount since July 9.
Probably he gave to Mr.. Pea
body, who was here Saturday,
more time for a discussion of
economic matters than any one
else. IF Mr. Peabody is pleased
with Judge Parker s ideas of
Democracy, and he says he is, it
seems a sign that he will go as
far as practical politics Will per
nit him to DIN his>letter.
His friends at Kingston and
Esopus declare that in private
conversation prior to the ST.
Louis Convention, when such
as trusts and imperial
ism came up for discussion, he
unhesitatingly delivered sound
concerning their evil
upon the body polite.
There is one question the coun-
try may be sure Judge Parker
will neither hedge, compromise,
dodge or evade when he speaks
on August 10. That is his plea
that the South be left alone to
settle the race question. He
thoroughly opposes Federal in
reference or legislative amend
ments TO existing statutes that |
treat with the franchise of com
lying south of the |
Potomac and the Ohio rivers. He
promised Senator Daniels, who I
was at Rosemount last week,
chat he would exercise his knowl-
edge of the law and reaffirm his
sympathy with the Anglo-Saxon
race when it came time for him
to speak publicly to the Dem
ocracy that had honored him
with its confidence.
Senator Joseph Bailey, of
Texas. whom Judge Parker re-
CARDS as the best equipped con
'titutional lawyer in the country;
John Sharp Williams and Grover
will be asked to read
he document before Judge Par
ler delivers it. Already a long
etter has been sent Mr.. Cleve-
and. But whether it asked for
Ldvice, or if it was on another
subject, of course, is not known
% the outside world.

Two Killed. One Wounded.


notified Monday afternoon of the
shooting Of three negroes by
Wash Hughes, also negro, on
Mr.. Harry Dashiell's place sew
eral miles west of Columbus.
Deputy Sheriff B. D. Erwin ac-
companied by Mr.. Dashiel's i'm
mediately rode out to the place
and after a search arrested
/ Hughes who was in imminent
danger of meeting summary
lvengence at the hands of other
negroes Of the neighborhood.
| Tho story Of the shooting. as
told by Mr.. B. D. Erwin. is but a
repetition of the old story of
trouble over a woman. Rich
Jones had been largely the cause
of the separation between Wash
Hughes and his wife. Hughes
had made some mention Of the
matter in a manner that Jones
did not like and at the point of a
pistol upbraided him and used
his fists as an argument in his
favor. Hughes was powerIess
to act. After threatening his
adversary Jones released him
and in com pany with several of
his companions repaired to a spot
on the plantation where a crap
game was IN progress. Here
also came Hughes some time
afterward and without so much
as a word of warning drew his
pistol and began shooting. Jones
was shot through the body the
bullet entering just above the
left nipple and penetrating the
body entirely. Hughes continued |
shooting and two other negroes
were wounded by stray bullets,
one only slightly Injured in the |
knee but the other, small boy. |
fatally wounded by a bullet that
passed through his body within
an inch of the heart. Hughes
escaped before the negroes re
covered from their establishment
sufficient to act and hid himself |
in his mother s cabin. The
young boy was Immediately
brought to this city to the In
Urinary by the mother and father
of the boy who also brought with
them a shot gun swearing ven
geance for the deed if they ever
caught sight of the perpetrator.
When Messrs. Erwin and
Dashiell arrived on the scene
they found small mob Of in
furiated blacks with guns
and pistols searching for Hughes.
Mr.. Erwin had no trouble in
gaining possession of the negro
however, he coming out from his
hiding place and giving himself
up to the officer. While coming
to this city another tragedy was
narrowly ayerted by the presence
of mind of Mr.. Erwin. A short
distance from Colum bus the
and father of the small
negro boy wounded by Hughes
were met returning after bring
ing the boy to the infirmary
here. Mr.. Erwin feared that
they might attempt violence as
they carried a shot gun, and
his prisoner to fall to the
rear and conceal himself. He
covered the couple with his rifle
just in time to prevent the earth
~ career of Hughes being cut
short by load OF buck shot.
The negro was brought here and
lodged in Jail without further
trouble to await the result of the
shooting before being
given a hearing.
Hughes is tall negro, of a
color, and is not generally
a bad man. Since
being in the employ of Mr..
Dashiell he has however been $
more quarrelsome than usual
Jones the negro who it is alleged
caused b e trouble between
Hughes and his wife, and the boy
Moody, have both died as a result {
of their wounds.

An exchange contains the fol-
lowing lit Of philosophy: When
a hog gets an ear Of corn every
hog will trot along behind and
slueal and beg and is ready for
a bite; but just let a hog get his
head fast in a crack, and every
other hog will jump onto him and
tear him to pieces. just so with
men. AS long as a mani is pros
porous and has plenty of money
he can't keep friends off with a
ball bat. The moment he is un-
fortunate and his wealth is all
gone heis not only snubbed by
his former associates, but they
will do him all the harm possible.

It is true we have been very
fortunate the past year in regard

to do it, The city fathers have
