Havana, Oct. S-The first landing
OF American soldiers In the present

and Sunday night the Second and
Third battalions Of the Fifth United

ONE FOUND DEAD IN WAGON.
oHieers OF Dougherty County Battle
With Drunk Neqroes.

Albany, Ga, Oct. S.-A coroner's
jury has spent several hours inquiring
into the death of George Singleton,
who was killed on a country road 4
miles below Albany.
The reckless driving and discharge
OF firearms on the country roads by
drunken negroes on Saturday after
moons and nights has caused the coun-
ty authorities to police the country
roads, deputy sheriffs being stationed
at different points on all the high
ways leading out of the city.
Deputies B. F. Manning and G. T.
benson attempted to stop a wagon,
which was full of reckless rowdy ne
groes, who refused to stop until Dep
uty Manning had fired two shots from
his revolver. Then the wagon stop
ped, and 1t was found that George Sim
gleton was dead in the bottom of the
vehicle.
Manning stated that he had fired
into the air. He is corroborated by
benson. The bullet which killed Sin
gleton entered the back low down
and ranged up to the region of the
heart. In spite Of the charge made
by negroes in the wagon, that Man
ming had fired the fatal shot, the evil
dence showed plainly that in all
probability, Singleton had been killed
by his own pistol, as he was attempt
ing to draw it for the purpose of fir
ing at the officers The negro's re-
volVer was not found, however. 1t is
believed that it was concealed by one
Of the dead mans companions.
The coroner's jury made a verdict
generating Manning There has been
some feeling among the negroes over
the killing but the coroner's jury
verdict is accepted as being borne
out by the evidence. From his po-
sition on horseback Manning could
not have fired the fatal shot

Labor Troubles In chioano.

Chicago, Oct. S.-The factional
fight which has been in progress for
several months in the ranks of the
Transfers union, has involved the
building trades of this city and con-
siderable trouble is anticipated. The
teamsters are divided into factions IA
voring Cornelius P. Shea and those
who are opposed to him. 1t is said
that Shea has entered into an agree
ment with a number of building trades
by virtue of which they will refuse
to handle any building material which
is delivered at buildings in process of
construction by any teamsters other
than those supporting Shea. Several
small strikes have already taken
place on this account and more are
looked for Three hundred and fifty
jewelry workers struck Monday, 80
shops being affected, when an 8-hour
day was refused.

A Most Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. 1t also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable demulcent, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. It adds
greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queens root, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery " in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents are recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak
stomach, as in the early stages of con-
sumption, there can be no doubt that gly.
certne acts as a valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in it's earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obSti-
nate, hang-on, chronic coughs, bronchial
and laryngeal troubles, and chronic sore
throat with hoarseness. In acute coughs
it is not so effective. It is in the lingering
hang-on coughs, or those OF long standing,
even when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures.
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago, says of gly-
cerine:
"In dyspepsia it serves an excellent purpose.
Holding a fixed quantity of the peroxide of
hydrogen in solution. it is one of the best
manufactured products Of the present time in
its action upon enfeebled, disordered stom-
achs, especially if there is liberation or ca
tarrhal gastritis Catarrhal Inflammation OF
stomach, it is a most efficient preparation.
Glycerine will relieve many cases Of pyrosiS
(heartburn1 and excessive gastric Stomach
acfdity."
eGolden Medical Discovery" enriches and
purifies the blood curing blotches. pimples.
eruptions. scrofulous swellings and old sores,
or ulcers.
Send to DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.

medicinal roots composing this wonderful

The Kicklighter building caught on

The fire started in the grocery store
of Bryan George, and as the front
door of the store was found broken
open, it is believed to be of incendiary
origin.
Upon reaching the store Mr.. George
attempted to enter, but was driven
back by the flames A hurried ex-
animation of the front door showed
the work of robbers. Mr.. George said
he left s172 in money In the store
