BRIDEGROOM KILLS HIMSELF,
Young Dubbert Had Been Married but
Day.

OTTUMWA, Iowa, March 11.-With-
out any cause apparently and leaving
no explanation whatever Ersnt Lub-
bert of this city, VINO married Miss
Minerva Fuqua Tuesday evening,
committed suicide last night by swal-
lowing three ounces of carbolic acid.
The heartbroken wife and friends
and family Of the young man are utter
ly at a loss to account for the deed.
Never was a happier marriage ap-
parently than that which was cele-
brated in Dahlonega at the home of
the brides parents. Dubbert and Miss
Fuqua, who were both 10, mad been
sweethearts for years. They had been
planning their marriage many months.
They remained at the brides home
over night and came to the city yes
terday. The bride left her husband
at the home of his sister and went for
a snort call upon a sister of her own.
Dubbert told his sister of his plans
for beginning housekeeping. He left
| the house for a few minutes, made a
| trip to a nearby drugstore, bought
carbolic acid and returned. Shortly
after he went upstairs. Within a few
| minutes the wife returned and in
| search for her husband, discovered
him in the agony of death.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars and

Yet, when the Barber Asphalt Co., re-

FAILURE OF ALL RAILROAD MEN
TO GO OUT A SERIOUS SET.
BACK TO LEADERS:

st. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-There was
some extension of the strike during
the day in st. Petersburg, but the gov
ernment plainly held the upper hand
here. The success of the strike, gen.
orally speaking, depends on its de.
velopment at Moscow and other places
in the interior. Evidently the leaders
hope to precipitate matters at Moscow
with the view of setting up pro.
visional government there if they can
effect split in the army and also to
secure possession of other towns as
they did in the case of Kharkoff, but
their plans have not matured. They
seem TO be striking wildly and blindly
The government, it is now apparent,
took the revolutionists off their guard
and forced the issue, preferring test
OF strength before the workmen's or.
that defeat will greatly impair the
prestige OF the revolutionary leaders
among their followers and afford the
government time to marshal the forces
sf conservatism, which are disgusted
with the prevailing chaos, and give
the government time to hold the cleo
tions.
The final decision in regard to the
electoral law is expected to be taken
at Tsarskoe-Selo shortly. The minor
ifu in tho hjnat jc nn1orStOO6 tn
favor universal suffrage, but Premier
Witte will present both the majority
and minority reports to the emperor.

DOOR IN MANcAuRIA TERMl.
MATES SUCCESSFULLY.
cHINp-JApAHEsE TREATY IS sIGMEl
SIXTEEN PRINCIPAL PORTS AND
CITIES OPENED TO THE CON-
MERGE OF THE WORLD.

Washington, Dec 23.-Important dc
tails of the treaty between China ami
Japan, signed at Peking during the
day, have reached the state depart
ment by cable. China consents t.
lease to Japan the Liaotung peninsula
at the southern extremity of which is
Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory
formerly was held by Russia under
lease from China. China comedies tc
Japan the control of the railway. on
the peninsula northward as far as
Changchip. This is one of the spurs
which connects with the Russian ST
berian railway system, and the point
named probably will mark the divi
sion between Russian and Japanese
control
China also comedies to Japan the
right to build a railway from Antung
on the Yalu river, to Mukden, the an
cient capital of China, probably along
the line of the famous old military OF
caravan road. It is provided, however
that at the end of a certain period the
road may be purchased by China.
