and STRANGE >


Alderman Williams bitterly opposed
the modification of the charges. He
said in part: tMr. Mayor, / think /
understand my position here as an al
derman and what my sworn duties
are, and with all due respect to the
other members of this board, don I
propose TO violate them. If YOU are
going to have a police force that has
the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie you cannot afford to have men on
the force that go in barrooms, get
drunk and point pistols in the face of
persons, and say it is all in fun and
that he is not guilty of the charges pre-
ferred; it was only an act of indis-
erection, and unbecoimng an officer.
Why, Mr.. Mayor, we are a laughing
stock for this community; we say one
thing and do another. l am here to
do my sworn duty and as long as / am
here / intend to do it, l have been
informed, sir, that committee of the
Business Mems Association intended
waiting on me and notify me to leave
town because | oppose some of their
measures and schemes, but | am not
going yet awhile. l shall wait until
the walking gets better, and the snow

threats do not brighten me in the
least. -
Counsellor Riley moved that the
charges as amended be sustained, which
was carried.
Alderman Williams moved that the
penalty be 81.
Alderman Martin moved that the
officer be fined $25. 90.
Alderman Williams moved to strike
out $25 and insert 81, which was lost.
The question recurring upon a fine
of $25, it was carried by yea and
nay vote, Aldermen Williams and
Strange voting in the negative.
Officer Jacobs thereupon was restor-
ed to the police force upon the pay
ment of $40 fine, and was ordered to
enter upon his duties this morning by
the Mayor

HAVING A HARD TIME
The Severe Winter Decimating
Game of All Sorts Large
Members Perish.

Such has been the severity of the
winter and the depth of the snow that
many birds and small game have been
DESTROYED Throughout the county
large numbers of dead quail have been
found apparently starved TO death.
La spite of the fact that many of the
farmers distribute grain at various
points of their farms the quail seem
to be particularly susceptible to the
weather.
In many cases the grain which is
intended for the quail is eaten by
other BIRDS. The red birds. taningers
and blue birds have remained this
winter TO q much greater extent than
for many years. They seem TO be but
little affected by the severe weather
and on the coolest days have been
heard singing as though it were sum-
mer dav. The rabbits, too, have
suffered to a considerable extent by
the great depth of snow. With all the
edibIes roots covered by sleet en-
crusted snow. it has been rather diff
cult for them to secure anything to
eat.
The large numbers of worthless dogs
running about have killed hundreds
of rabbits this winter. They have
pursued them relentlessly over the
frozen snow and as there is practically
No cover under which they can seek a
moments respite, they are easily
oyerhauled. Foxes, also, have turned
their attention TO the rabbits, and
nearly any night can be heard in pur-
suit of the long cared morsels. They
seldom fail to get their quarry and
are doing as much damage as the dogs
Birds this winter. are eating shumach
seeds which, as a general thing. they
ever touch. Hunger has driven them

It WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.
FUNERAL OF MIDSHIPMAN
BATTLE TO-DAY.
Services Conducted At The Old
Armory And Body Escorted
BY Bigade to The
Station.

Of particularly impressive nature
were the services this afternoon in
connection with the funeral of Mid
shipman Samuel Westray Battle, whose
death occurred at the Naval Academy
Sunday while he was Fastening TO the
lines for dinner formation. Great
interest was taken in the services and
the general routine at the Academy,
inasmuch as it affected the midship-
men, was broken in on.
This morning Surgeon Samuel w.
Battle, U. S. N, retired, father of
Midshipman Battle. arrived at the
Academy and was at once taken TO
the residence of Superintendent
Brownson. Arrangements for the fu.
nral were soon completed and the spe-
cial orders were issued by the Superin-
tendent. Shortly after 2 O'Clock the
remains were taken to the old armory,
where services were conducted by
Chaplain II. II. Clark He spoke in
most feeling manner of the sudden
death of the young man at such a
promising stage of his career. All OF
the midshipmen were present at the
services, accompanied by the officers
of Academy.
At the conclusion of the services the
remains were removed to the depot
under escort of the brigade of midship-
men. AS the cortege reached St.
Johns College the students, in full
uniform, turned out in body. They
stood at present arms until the fun
eral cortege had passed.
for which kindness of spirit
they were warmly complimented by
Superintendent BrowAson. All along
the line of the procession the streets
were filled with those who had learn
ed of the time the funeral would be
held The floral offerings we're many
and beautiful and displayed the high
esteem in which the young midship-
man was held by his companions. The
funeral cortege was headed by the
Naval Academy Band playing Dead
March.
1t was at first thought that Midship-
man Battle had died from heart
trouble, but as there were certain con-
ditions in connection with his death a
pOstmortem examination was held by
the medical staff at the Naval Acad-
envy. Those who conducted the au-
topsy are Medical Inspector III. h.
Ames and Surgeons +. r. Stone and
q. H. L. Lowndes. 1t developed the
fact that Battles heart had been par
ticularly strong and that the primary
cause of death was blood clot on the
brain, which must have been there
for considerable length of time. There
is every reason to believe that owing
to the injury to his brain death was
brought on by sudden exertion, which
made greater demands on the heart
than that organ could stand.
Battle had been a member of the
various athletic squads for some time,
but recently had been giving but little
attention to athletics, owing to the
fact that they interferred with his
studies. AS is the usual practice at
the Academy, Battle was given care
fuI physical examination two weeks
since, at which time he was thought
to be in very good condition. 1t is
stated that the midshipman had been
misinforned as TO where the dinner
formation would be held and for that
reason was fastening to the lines to
make up for the time he had lost, when
death overlook him.

1t Might Be of Some Use.

There are some persons who take
a sordid. unitarian view of every
thing, including the achievements of
science. A public-spirited citizen who
was trying to raise funds to assist
a well known arctic explorer in fitting
out an expedition for polar research
called upon wealthy lumber dealer
and asked him for a contribution.
What's the good OF IT." asked the
lumber dealer
"The good of it? Won't it be worth
something to mankind If he discovers
the North Pole?''
Suppose he does find it. What
good is the North Pole to anybody? ''
Here the callers patience gave way.
II didn't know but you might have
some curiosity, as an expert, to know
what kind of lumber IT'S made Of

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-THE blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands Of women testify to this fact.
