Beer Brutalities.

For some years decided In
c1ination has been apparent ali
over the country to give up the
use of whiskey and other strong
alcohol, using as a substitute
beer and other compounds. This
is evidently founded on the idea
that beer is not harmful, and con
tains a large amount of nutri-
ment; also that bitters may have
some medicinal quality which
will neutralize the alcohol it con-
ceals.
These theories are without
confirmation in the observation
of physicians. The use of beer
is found to produce a species of
degeneration of all the organs;
profound and deceptive fatty de-
posits, diminished circulation,
conditions of congestion, and per-
version of functional activities,
local inflammations of both the
liver and kidneys, are constantly
present.
Intellectually, a stupor amount
ing almost to paralysis, arrests
the reason, changing all the high
err faculties into mere animal
ism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, va
ried only with paroxysms of an
ger that are senseless and brutal.
In appearance the beer drinker
may be the picture of health, but
in reality he is most incapable of
resisting disease. A slight in
Jury, a severe cold, or a shock to
the body or mind will commonly
provoke acute disease, ending ia
tally. Compared with inebriates
who use different kinds of alcohol
he is more incurable and more
generally diseased.
The constant useof beer every
day gives the system no recuper-
alton, but steadily lowers the Wit
al forces. It is our observation
that beer drinking in this count
ry produces the very lowest kind
of inebriety, closely allied to
criminal insanity. The most
dangerous ruffians in our large
cities are beer drinkers. Re-
course to beer as a substitute
for other forms of alcohol merely
increases the danger and fatality.

remarkable lecture on catarrah.
Col. Dillingham; is feeling the
effect of the enormous strain he
has been under since coming to
this city, but his words left a deep
impression upon his hearers, who
listened with intense interest to
his explanation of catarrahal poi
son and it's effects upon the hui
man system. The lecturer de-
clared that fully seventy-hve per
cent of the people of this climate
were afflicted with catarrah in
some of its various forms.
Thousands of men and women
have filled untimely graves, VIC
TINS of catarrah poison, who new
er knew they were suffering
from this terrible disease. In
vivid terms he explained how con-
stipation and colds filled the blood
with the catarrhal virus, the
mem branes of the nasal cavities
and air passages became inf1am-
ed, followed by federation, the
poison mucus dropped into the
throat. the lungs became affect
ed, and where there should be
health, strength and vigor, came
weakness, consumption, wasting
disease and early decay, because
there was not sufficient vitality
in the Impoverished system tc
resist the poison.

|arrning Accident at
the White Swan Laundry

The fire at the steam laundry
sterday afternoon was of pecu-
DC origin.
Mr.. Burr Stokoe, son of the
roprietor, was preparing to
harge the gasoline reservoir
which is located in an angle OF
<he brick wall about ~ feet from
he front of the boiler furnace.
The gasoline tank containing
about 40 gallons of the fluid--res-
served supply-was located with

ed three gallons from the tank

empty it through the funnel the
gas from the small can shot out

of the boiler shed, completely en-
Reloping the young man and sur

reached the spot from where he
had retreated, the gas under the
shed ignited probably from the

enveloped in a flame. The open

Elder w. E Daugherty
Defends His Reputation,

some things through your col
umns in regard to the assault on
my character in last weeks issue
of the Citizen.
What I shall say is not intend
ed as defense of my character
for a good character needs no
defense, and a bad one cannot be
successfully defended. Right
eousness is ultimately its own
protection; while wrong-doing
ultimately works the ruin and
overthrow of the doer. The man
who is conscious of rectitude can
afford to say, Turn on the light;
If I am not right want to be; it
/ am not genuine desire to be;
lif l deserve the bad things of
which I am charged, l am de-
ceived in myself"
The most astonishing thing in
Ryman's assault is his economy
with truth. By actual count,
there are six falsehoods in the
first paragraph of his villainous
and undeserved assault on me.
But will give him credit for act
ing shrewd IN this, for TRUTH had
nothing to do with the OBJECT or
DESIGN of his assault and, fortu-
nately for me, the general pub
| lie long ago" caught onto his
methods of sweeping aside the
truth.
His method is fairly exhibited
in the following vituperatlve, die
tatorial words, "and the general
public had its fill-long ago-of
Daugherty, and no newspaper
has any right to impose him upon
the public for any considerable
length of time"
Such an assertion from such a
source. Ye Gods of gall!
So this immediately journal
istic jobber seems to think, for
he adduces but one or two more
misleading statements, and then
closes by assuring his readers
that he, with seventy members"
had Joined in prayer" for Dau-
gherty. There, now! See the
pictured E. w. Ryman on his
knees! In prayer for poor, UNI
worthy preacher. l will venture
that ere this the Lord has ans
wered Ryman's prayer, and in
language like this-"If l should
make Daugherty such preacher
as YOU would have him be, he
would be as mean and irrellgious
as you are" Yes, Ryman swept
the arena clean with the above
sentence, followed by HIS prayer.
This is the very Bosom of de-
struction (to me- indeed! This
mighty, all-conqueriug, omnipo-
tent assertion is.
Well, it is a good thing that
Ryman is an infallible colonel,
and so devout, otherwise would
have demanded that he prove a
few of the many false statements
he makes. But there is no need
of proof-RYMAN HAS SAID II!
Speaking of the general pub
lie" impresses me to say that l
am willing for the general pub

to compare my record, in the

house and the chief Of police Of Cien-

quantity of arms had been deposited,
and they went to the hotel to investi-

turned the fire, killing Villuendas and
wounding several others.
AS the news spreads throughout Ha-

CHINESE THE REAL PERIL.
Celestials Will Soon outstrip White
Man Industrially.

Chicago, Sept. PA remarkable let
ter has been received by resident of
Chicago from Bishop Bashford of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, now re-
siding in Shanghai, China, and repre-
senting this great denomination as gem
eral superintendent in the empire of
China.
The bishop says it is not SO much the
japanese, but the Chinese that the Cau-
casian must fear. Instead of the So
called Japanese victory over the Rus
SLAMS being blessing to the world, and
opening the Orient to American COM
merce, the eminent divine fears that
the "yellow peril is not altogether
fancy, though the peril to the interests
of the white race i:ill be entirely in
dustrial, not political or religious.
The bishop predicts that the initia-
tive ability of the Chinese under the
leadership of Japanese, will at no dis
tant day result in their making and do
ing everything the white man makes
or does and much cheaper. This, he
fears, will not only enable them to sup
ply the trade of the Orient, but even
tually to control the markets of the
world instead of being patrons of the
white man.

DESPERATE DUEL FOUGHT
With Four on Each Side Two Are
Fatally Wounded.

Fatally Wounded.
New Orleans, La, Sept. PA des-
perate battle, in which eight men par
ticipated, four on each side, took place
this afternoon at Frelisen, small sta
ton in st. Charles parish. One man,
N Songy, was instantly killed; Charles
Songy was fatally wounded and a ne
gro slightly wounded.
The clash was the result of a feud be-
tween the Songy and Elfer families,
both of which have much political in
fuence in the parish, one of the Elfers
now being the Assessor.
The trouble grew out of the efforts
of the Elfers to have one of the Songs
removed as constable. Two months
ago an attempt was made to assassinate
Charles Elfer, the Assessor, and he and
his friends attributed it to the Songys.
Today four of the Songys appeared in
Frelisen armed with shotguns and an
nounced that they came to settle the
differences with the Elfers.
Nothing happened until $50 o'clock,
when the Songys were standing at the
depot. There was quite a crowd there
and presently four of the Elfers appear
ed, coming down the railroad track.
In the party there were three of the
Elfer boys and man named Leboeuf.
They warned the crowd to stand aside
and opened fire. Their guns were
loaded with buckshot and at the first
shot N, Songy, the uncle, dropped.
Then Charles fell, and the others took
to the woods.
Eye witnesses say that only one of the
Songys had time to fire, and he only
fired two shots and disappeared. Chas.
Songy was put on the train and brought
to New Orleans, where it was found
that he had buckshot in his abdomen,
his shoulder, his hand, his arm and his
leg. The dead man is filled with buck
shot
