Thursday night Guy Jenkins

Sheriff LacOste arrested a
negro by the name of Jim Fore
man Thursday on the charge of
having robbed a Mexican, who,
says that he was attacked by
three negroes, who relieved him
of $3.50 in cash and a check for
$11, one taking the money and
the other the check. The Next
can was also cut, which he saws
was done by the negroes, and a
razor which might have made
the wound was found in the
arrested negro's shoe. The
officers feel pretty sure that
they have the right man.
A negro boy about seventeen
years of age from Abbeville
placed his team over night at
stable and in the morn
started to drive off without
paying for the teams keep.
When MI. Landry demanded
pay and seized the horses by the
bride to prevent the boy from
driving off, he drew a pistol and
snapped it at Mr.. Landry, then
up and got away. The
officers were at once notified and
pursuit given. Chief Chargois
caught up with him near the
school and brought
him back to town. A pistol with
one cartridge snapped was
on his person. He is now
in Jail. The team was sent on to

Met At City Hall.

Members of the City Council
and a number of citizens met al
the city hall Friday evening and
discussed the best means to pro.
coed in regard to making the
proposed bond issue unanimous
or as unanimous as possible, for
there seems little doubt of the
bond issue carrying. To carry
it will win great credit and
praise for the wide awake people
OF this city, but to carry it with
out a dissenting vote will win
still greater praise, and this is
most desirable for a number of
good reasons. After talking the
matter over in an informal way it
was decided that the Mayor
should call a mass meeting on
Tuesday the 18th to organize for
the purpose of carrying the bond
issue by the largest possible ma
jprity, and everybody is wanted
at that meeting to enroll himself
as one of the Unanimous club.
The ladies are specially invited
and their most valuable assist
ance is greatly desired.

Sea Water Sizzled in Volcano.

Prof. john A. Brasher, the noted
astronomer of Pitsburg, Pa. takes
no stock in the sun spot theory of
the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He
says the theory attributed to Prof.
Belai, of Laibach, that a sun spot is
responsible, is ridiculous.
IF this were true" he says,
why was Nesuvius quiescent last
October. when the sun spots were at
their greatest period of disturbance?
These outbreaks are caused by the
thrush Of sea water, which generates
steam, and something has to give
way to save this old earth from be-
ing blown up like a steam boiler"

BOYS HEAD
In Sharks Stomach When Great
ure Was Cut Open by
Capt0rS.

New Orleans, La. July l0.-A
week ago one of the students at St.
Stanislaus college at Bay st. Louis, on
the gulf coast, was captured by a
man-eating shark while swimming
about half mile from shore. The
boy was never seen again after be-
ing dragged under the water.
Since that time Gilbert Marehall,
West Point man, now at Bay st.
Louis, on his vacation, and his bro
Their Carl, have been making deter
mined fight on the larger sharks, and
have landed four which have been
interesting with the bathers for
sometime past. The largest speci-
men was caught yesterday after d
fight of three hours.
After dragging him to shore, the
two young men, as a matter of curl
osity cut him open and found part
of the head and arms of a student
that has disappeared in the fsh's
stomach. Gilbert Marshal, is con-
fident that this is the fish that
brought death to the little Mexico
student few days ago.
The people along the entire coast
have declared war on sharks and are
using every effort to exterminate
them.

Obituary..

On June 26. 1906. the guarding
angel gently winged into the home
Of Mr.. j. G.. Wilson, near Rosine,
and claimed for its own his daugh-
ter. Miss Nastie. She for three
weeks had been very low Of consunp-
ton. After funeral services by Rev
II. u. Burch her remains were in
TERED in the McCord cemetery June
u. in the presence of a host OF
mourning friends and relatives.
Miss Nastie's age was II years
and s months. She professed faith
in christ in October 1904. and has
since been a distinguished member
of Cane Run Baptist church. Miss
Vastie was little lady of superb
courage. She possessed that forti-
tude of soul that bears the conSe-
.auence of course pursued without
complaint. Above her marvellous
IN, ellectua gifts, rises her integri-
" like same great mountain peak,
firm as the earth beneath. and pure
as the stars above. AS she lived she
died. Proudly she entered the dark
ness, or the dawn that we call death.
Unshrinkings he passed beyond our
horizon, beyond the twilight's pur-
pie hills, beyond the reach of human
harm or help to that vast realm of
silence or joy where the innumera-
Bile dwell, and she has left with US.
her wealth Of thought and deed.
The memory of a brave. honest. no.
bic little lady who bowed alone to
death.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days,
when, as somebody has said, men
drop by the sunstroke as if the Day
Of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger topeople whose
systems are poorly sustained; and
this leads us to say, in the interest of
the less robust of our readers. that
the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparlla
is such as to suggest the propriety
of calling this medicine something
besides blood purifier and tonic, -
say, a sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without
doubt avert much sickness at this
time Of year.

Costly Water.

More money is paid for water in a
single day than is paid for liquor in
a week, though few purchasers are
aware of the quantity of water they
pay for. A ten pound turkey, for
instance, is but three pounds solids
and seven pounds of water, and
there are six pounds Of water in ten
pounds of pork. while the percent
age of water in beef or mutton is
about the same. Salmon and mack
eral are but half water, though 9th
er fish contain a greater proportion
of fluids. Sixty-five per cent. of an
egg is water, and there are about
two ounces of water to the pound of
butter. Vegetables run from 40 to
50 per cent. of water, and even dried
peas contain a small percentage.
Taken at an average 55 per cent. of
all expenditures for food is paid for
water. There is no way of avoiding
payment.

AN INDEPENDENT SHOW.
John RObertSOn'S Show the Only
Big Circus Not Included
in the Trust.

All the really big circuses of this
country can be counted upon the fin
gers of one hand, and all but one of
them are now in a combine known
as the Circus Trust. and has for it's
primary object the suppression of all
legitimate competition and the cur
failing of expenses by doing away
with parade and other features that
have become so established that the
circus would indeed seem sadly lack
Ing without them.
The only first class circus that did
mot enter the combine this year is
the john Robertson Shows, and the
management states that they will
positively not be led by this associa-
ton ~ trust builders. They will
nos only continue the use Of the pa
rade a. a feature. but will see that
eacn year adds some new and at
tract.v- novelty for the appreciation
OF 10, lost Of patrons and admirers.
Their action in thus standing out
aioH- against the combine ought
to win them many friends, and it is
SAFE to predict that their appearance
at Beaver Dam on July 20 will be
greeted with capacity business at
both the afternoon and night perfor-
manceS.
