JOHN P. sTOvALL,

When there was laid away beneath
the turf of the Brooksville cemeterylast
week the mortal remains of John p.
Stovall there passed from view one OF
the few really strong characters OF the
day. Times do not breed great men
nowadays; there are too few obstacles
and too muny comforts, and men be-
come flabby. But the stern school OF
rugged adversely in which Mr.. Stovall
grew developed all the latent powers
and sbarpened all the faculties he pos
sessed. He thus became man of
marked individuality; having his own
opinions and forcibly expressing them,
laying his own plans and diligently exe-
cutting them, constructing his own ideals
and patiently achieving them. He was
in the strictest sense self-made man,
and the job was a good one. -
Since man is the sum of his attri-
butes, we may view some os his most
notable ones, beginning with tho un-
questioned integrity which he made the
foundation of his character. He weighed
his promises and made none rashly, but
once uttered his word became his bond.
This trait he carried into his business,
and through his long mercantile career
he refused to handle shoddy and un-
trustworthy goods which would not
support his testimonial. He met his
obligations promptly, and expected 9TH
ers to do likewise, though deserving
debtor whose condition was peculiarly
unfortunate might always be assured of
liberal treatment. Particularly was he
inclined to favor deserving young men,
and there are many who are today pros
porous who have him to thank for the
timely assistance which gave them a
footing in the world of trade. The en-
bodiment of energy, toiling early and
late. literally wearing himself out, he
could not tolerate laziness in others, SO
that the improvident and shiftless he
rarely assisted, but the widow and or
phan he delighted to help in quiet
and transformations manner, neither
seeking nor caring for praise To his
friends he was steadfastly loyal, always
ready to defend them from aspersion,
yet as ready to advise them with re-
gard to the correction of those faults
which his kecnly balanced judgment
pointed out. These and many other
such characteristics made him valued
citizen, and cause his loss to be acutely
felt.
AS boy in Virginia Mr.. Stoval
united with the Baptist church, and
stoutly maintained its doctrines to the
end He never allied himself with any
denomination here, but was close and
reverent student Of the Bible and en-
deavored to lead Christian life, wax
ing more graceful and beautiful as his
physical strength declined. Detesting
hypocrisy and pretense, he did not seek
the appreciation of man, but his simple
faith and implicit trust assure lis of his
conscious hold on the infinite Judge
who looketh on the heart and give us
support for confidence that was well
with his soul

not been. He cited in instance,
though, that goes to prove that cottoti
is the most uncertain crop that grows.
He says that the first year he farmed
he had piece Of cotton which he had
not been able to have worked and was
advised by several old farmersy to turn
it out, that it would not be worth
working, but about the 10th of July he
had it plowed out for the first time, and
much to his astonishment il grew off
better and was the finest piece of cotton

"Paf' Grove Caught In Montana.

Butte, Montana, October 6.-Pat
Grove, wanted by the Omaha police
for the kidnapping of the son of mil
lionaire packer Edward Cudahy iu
1900, was arrested in this city late
last night. Crowe's Identification
has been made complete through
photographs sent to the authorities
by the Omaha officers. Grove ac-
knowledged be was the fugitive, be-
coming alarmed when he feared the
authorities were going to shoot him.
Captain Of Police w. f. McGrat
and Detective McInerny made the
arrest, placing the muzzles of their
revolvers against his stomach as he
emerged from a saloon in the tender
loin section Of the city. Grove de-
clared he would return to Omaha
without requisition papers.
He cursed bitterly at his arrest,
expressing chagrin at his apprehen-
sion in town the size of Butte,
when he, as he said, had travelled the
world over and evaded capture in all
the large cities. Grove has two
brothers in Montana, one living at
Butte and the other at Great Falls.
"A friend of Groves informed the
local police of Groves presence in
the city, and his arrest followed
after photographs of the fugitive had
been secured from Omaha.

Accordingly he got drunk, and
when in this condition he happened
to meet his father, who upbraided
him, which so excited the ire of the

he slew his father, cursed his God,

The Saloons in DanviIIe.

Danville, Va, October 5.-On
Tuesday night the city council passed
sweeping restrictions on saloons,
which were recently voted back after
two years of local option reign.
Blinds, screens or distractions of
any nature are prohibited, and the
opening and closing hours fixed at
6 a. m. and I p. m. No entrances to
saloon except the front door are
allowed, and no one is allowed in a
bar after closing hours. The right
of wife or mother to forbid bar
keeper from selling her inebriate
husband or son intoXicants is recog.
nized by the council. 1t is also
against the law TO purchase intoxi.
cants for inebriates or minors. Heavy
punishment and forfeiture of license
is fixed for any violation of these
ordinances. The majority of the
council is composed OF "dry" men,
and the "wets" claim the wishes OF
the people as expressed at the polls
in favor of saloons have not been
carried out.

Liquor and tn. state ., Maine.

The liquor men, who never tire of
asserting that there is more liquor
drank where there is prohibition
than where there is license, have
never ceased to labor for the over
throw of prohibition in Maine. They
succeeded in getting the question
submitted again by the Legislature
aud at the last election they ere
confident that prohibition would be
voted out. When To-! prohibition
was sustained by almost unanimous
vote. This 30 stimulated the Legis-
lature that new bill, known as the
Sturgis bill, was quickly adopted and
the Governor thereby given full
power to appoint State "enforce-
ment" commission, the members of
which are clothed with all the rights
of sheriff and executive officers, 80
far as the prohibitory law is con-
cerned, and who are authorized to
appoint an unlimited number of
deputies throughout the State to as
sist them.
This has already gone into effect
and Maine has entered upon a new
period of law enforcement under the
provisions of the new Sturgis law.
Car. loads and boat loads of poorly
disguised liquor of all sorts nearly
swamped express and freight traffic
TO Boston when it became known
that the law had. really gone into
effect. Portland and Bangor are
about the "dryest" points in the
whole State, despite the Anti Prohi-
bition officers. These arc two cities
where heretofore the law had been
winked at by the Republican Off
cials who failed to enforce the law,
merely arresting and fining each
liquor dealer once year and allow
ing them thereafter to proceed with
their business for another year. This
is what enabled liquor men to crow,
"Prohibition don't prohibit" and,
"Prohibtion in Maine is failure"
Now a different chord is struck

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inilamcd con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (causcd by catarrh)
that cannot be cured 10y Halls Catarrh

The 81 paint is adulterated T6rc; Devoe
is all lead and zinc and linseed oil, with
as little good dryer as possible. A gal
lon Devoe has in it little more paint
than four gallons of the other. A gallon
Devoe will cover as much as four of the
