A QUEER
APPETITE.
Jones County Man Ate Brass Nuts. Iron
Washers, Glass, Brick Bats, Monkey
Wrenches. ETC.. from the At
fects Of Which He Died.

A dispatch from Meridian to New
Orleans Picayune says that physicians
in Meridian are puzzled over the case
Of q young man % years Of age, who
was sent to the Insane Hospital to this
city four years ago from Joues Coun-
ty. He was the most wonderful spe-
cimen Of glasseating and metal con-
Stunning man known to medical history
and DR.. j. M. Buchanan, Superintan-
dent Of the Asylum, and other physi-
clans are preparing papers to be sub
mitted to the various medical sccie-
ties to which they belong and which
they will attend this spring and sum-
mer.
The patient was 10 years Of age
when he arrived at the institution.
About two or three years ago he began
to show signs of debility. Last year
the physicians noticed that he was
eating plaster off the walls, but as
this is common mania at the insti-
tuition, little was thought Of the mat.
ter. Later it was decided by the
physicians that the man had con-
sumption, and they began to treat
him for it. However, as the man
continued to grow less active, he was
taken out Of the kitchen, where he
had been employed for months, and
put in ward. Sunday night he ate
hearty supper and retired to his
room at the hour for locking the pa
TENTS in. A short while later he
called for water, and this was carried
to him. The attendant on the ward,
about half an hour later unlocked the
door to get the vessel the water was
carried to him in, and was surprised
to find the man dead, lying on his left
side.
Notice was sent to the superin-
tendent Of the sudden demise of the
patient, and yesterday an autopsy was
held Cor the purpose Of determining
if consumption was the immediate
cause Of death.
The examination showed the ply
sicans that the lungs of the dead man,
while not in condition to have justi-
fed the treatment given him, were
certainly not worthy of being charged
with his immediate death.
DR.. N. r. Gard, one of the as
sistants, and who had personal treat
ment of the patient, begged to be
allowed to make further investigation,
and upon opening the stomach the
physicians were astonished at what
they saw. Here is what they took
from the mans stomach:
Six brass wrenches, such as are
used for water faucets two inches
long and weighing two ounces each.
Ten brass and iron screws, ranging

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect Of the First Warning Symp-
toms is the Prime Cause Of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Brlght's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu-
ton is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are of Indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
trst affeayance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel Irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima-
ton Of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prick1y Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of inca1cu1ab1e value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment Of one dollar in bottle of
Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
OF dollars in Doctors bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages Of kidney disease. It is
equally ef6cacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as last
resort, in cases that defed their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-ca1led kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, ii instances innu-
merab1e.
Accept no substitute. insist on having
the genuine Prick1y Ash Bitcrs with the
large figure s II red on the front label.

The Money Problem In China.

Consul Anderson reports from Hang
ehau, China, some details of the new
copper coinage Of the empire which
make clear certain illusions in a re.
cent dispatch regarding the Chinese
monetary troubles.
There is considerable speculation in
some circles in this province as 10
what is 10 be the result of the policy
of the Provincial government with ro
spect to the shipment of the copper
l0.cash or "1-cent pieces out of the
province. The shipment is really ille'
gal, according to imperial authority,
but at the present time the coins are
being shipped from Hanfehau to
Shanghai at the rate of 20,00O,0O0 a
month, and the rate is increasing. The
present mint is still turning out about
100000 pieces day, and the new
mint, which is to be ready by the
middle of May, will turn out at least
100000 pieces more a day. As j
have reported heretofore, the authori'
ties are finding this coinage very profit
able. One hundred of these coins
weigh "a ounces and n small fraction
of an ounce, and the problem in profit
is solved by figuring out how a pound
and a half OF copper, at from 10 TO 20
cents pound, becomes about sl.l2
Mexican or so cents gold, allowing for
the expenses of coinage in plant
which requires no great amount OF
power and can secure all the labor it
needs at from a TO s. gold month
The demand for the coins all over
China is increasing. They are still Is
sued from the mint at 80 per dollar
(Mexiean), and pass current among
the people at from 95 TO 81. The de-
mand in Shanghai for the coins minted
here really represents demand from
other cities, for, while Hangehau IL
pouring the coins into Shanghai, the
latter port, in the September quarter
of 1904, sent $535,5s3 gold worth OF
the coins TO Chifu, and $l40,4s7 TO kia
oehau, while Hankau and other points
secured some. The demand for tho
coins among the cities Of this province
which the mints here are supposed e
serve, is very strong They are rap
idly driving the old cash out of eireu
lation.
One phase Of this copper eOinag'
matter is very important. 1t will b
almost an impossibility TO establish
new system Of money in China whiel
is not based upon these lO-eash o
l-eent pieces.

MANNING
CHARGES
GRAFT

The Portland Journal says: Charges
have been lodged officially with the dis.
trict attorney that $4,000 was paid to
members of the city council about a
year and half ago to defeat the fran,
ehise asked by the new telephone com
pany, and that the money was paid by
the Pacific States Telephone & Tele.
graph Company to accomplish such de.
feat. The charges take rather specific
form, and il is claimed that a list of
names of those who are alleged to have
taken the money has been handed to
the district attorney. An element in
these charges is the statement that
Councilmen Rumeliu, Sharkey and
Bentley were the most active in oppos.
ing the new franchise, and that three
other members Of the council joined
with them in preventing il going TO
passage
It is understood that the charges
have taken form so specific as to war
rant rigid investigation, and that IL
they be proven true explanations will
have to be made by Councilmen Shark.
ey and Bentley as well, as by Council
man Rumelin. The charges are based
on the allegation that Rumelin handled
the money, distributing it to other
members Of the council who agreed to
vote against the franchise.
In this connection comes report
that evidence could be secured to prove
that a $4,000 check was sent at Council
man Rumelin, accompanying letter
thanking him for his services in de.
-feating the new company's franchise.
This important allegation is TO be
brought to the attention Of the district
attorney in his official capacity.
The members of the council were IL
in number at the time the franchise
was up for consideration, all Of whom
are now in Office, excepting r. ID. sigler
who has been elected and taken the Of
fee of county assessor since that time,
The attitude of all the members ms
Of record is being looked into in order
to secure a ground work for the further
investigation, which IL is said, will be
searching.
