The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and deSpondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stOm-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion. or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as atteSted by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined in DR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
If you will but mail postal card request
to Dr. r. " Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, for
free copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names of all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical men
Of the age saw of them,

tim, Miss Jennie Brooks, after having
been identified by her, and after Gov
ernor D. c. Hayward, who went to the
scene OF the trouble and had addressed
the mob in vain, Bob Davis, the ne
gro who on Monday murderously at
tackled Miss Brooks with intent tC
commit assault, and who afterwards
outraged a negro girl IA years old
was lynched about 1880 o'clock Thurs
day evening.
Governor Hayward reached the
scene shortly after the negro had been
captured. A platform was erected in
q fence corner on the premises of the
victims father, from which Governor
Hayward addressed the mob in an eff,
fort to prevent the lynching.
The governor beseeched the mob not
to lynch Davis, but in vain At the
conclusion of his speech the governor
was vociferously cheered.
The mob then removed the prison
er to a place within a short distance
of the home of the victim, where the
negro was riddled with bullets. 1t is
impossible to estimate the crowd, as
citizens from several counties had
gathered at the scene and for two days
had been in pursuit of the fend, but 1t
Is certain that hundreds of bullets
were sent through his body.
The militia in that section Of the
state is now encamped at Chickamau,
ga and there were no nearby troops
to be called upon.

AID AGAINST BLACKS
BEGGED OF ROOSEVELT
Citizens Say Negro Troops Have
Threatened to Burn Town.
THE CITIZENS ARE DESPERATE
Urgent Appeal Also Sent to Texas
Senators and the Governor To Aid
Town Where outrages Were Recent
ly Committed by Negro Troops.

W SoWInlbkSO py negro FoOPSs
Brownsville, Tex, Aug. 17.-No re-
plies being received by the investigat-
ing committee to requests for protec-
ton and relief from the strain under
which this city has been since the out
rage committed by the negro soldiers
on Monday night, the committee has
sent a most urgent message to Pres
ldent Roosevelt, United States Sena-
tors Culberson and Bailey, and Gov
ernor Lanham, detailing the outrage
and stating that after two days dill
gent inquiry, it has been found that
no blame attaches to the citizens, and
asking that the negroes be replaced
by white troops. The message states
that threats have been made by the
soldiers that they will break out again,
and burn the town and it is feared
the five commissioned officers cannot
control the men.
The governor and senators are i'm
plored to do all they can to secure
the removal of the negro troops 1t
is expected the government investiga-
tion will result in courtmartial for
one or more officers.
A citizens guard of $50 men is sta
toned along the road between this
city and Fort Brown, and if the ne
gro soldiers attempt to leave the gar
rison it is the avowed purpose of the
citizens to shoot them down.
Four hundred winchester rifles were
sold to citizens Thursday.
The report that the officers of the
garrison are themselves afraid Of the
negro troops has determined the citi-
zens to take no chances. MAJ peo-
pie are leaving their homes on the
side of the city near Fort Brown.

Valparaiso is a fortified seaport of
Chile, AMI the most important CONNER.
cial town on the western coast of
South America. 1t has a population
of about 10000. 1t is the capital
of province of the same name, and
is situated on a large bay in the Pa
cific ocean, Is miles wegt-northwest of
Santiago, with which it is connected
by rail.
The bay of Valparaiso, which is well
sheltered on three sides, is boundedd
to 1,7O0 feet high, on the slopes of
which a considerable portion of the
city of Valparaiso is built. On the
south side of the bay are the spacious
suburbs of Nuevo Malecom and Gran
Avenida, from which pass out one of
the finest of the thoroughfares of Val
paraiso the Avenida des las Delicias.
The lower central portion of the city
is constituted by the Almedral, having
regular and attractive streets, and
containing the principal business
houses, the park, the plaza Victoria
and the national theater
To the west of the city on the quar-
ter of the city known as the Puerto
(the pOrt) in which are situated the
greater number of the public buildings
and the vast warehouses which line
the Quays and sanG docks. In this
portion of the city, however narrow
and crooked streets are still a feature,
but the other sections of the city have
an attractive, modern appearance, the
buildings of the business streets being
massively built.
Among the monuments in Valpara-
iso are those to Columbus, Wheel
wright '(who established steam navi-
CATION on the Chilean coast), Admiral
Prat and Thomas Cochrane organizer
of the Chilean navy. The city has
various academic and collegiate insti-
tutions, a naval school, school for ma
ripes, museum of natural history, hy-
geographic bureau, ETC., and its indus
trial establishments comprise found
ries, railroad and machine shops, SUI
gar reAneries, breweries, distIleries,
large bottling works and factories of
all kinds. Elevators connect the low
er part of the city with the villa Sec
ton on the heights. The port Of Val
paraiso is the terminus of important
lines of steamers for Europe by way
of the straits of Magellan and Pan
ANA, and is the center of the South
American coasting services. It con-
tains a numerous foreign colony, COM
posed chiefly of British, German and
French, and Birth merchants. There
is a custom house, alongside of which
steamers of ordinary tonnage can
moor, but most boats unload by means
OF lighters at the quays.
The harbor is defended by modern.
well-mounted batteries. Severe storms
and a tidal wave at Valparaiso June
30, 1899, wrecked the quays and did
much damage to the city.
