Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg
lect them, as SO slight an injury as a
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss of q limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which a only be had
when suitable medicines are kept al
hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have
been in the market for many years
and enjoy q good reputation.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel CON-
plants.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds, Group and whOoping
cough.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm ian anti
septic liniment) for cuts, bruises,
burns, sprains, swellings, lame back
and rheumatic pains.

Tablets for constipation, biliousness
and stomach troubles.

PERFECT CONDITIONS
NOW NEEDED
According to Times Democrat
First Cotton Report, to Avert
Disaster.
Distinct Decrease Noted in Acreage,
But Precise Extent of Falling Off
Can Not Yet Be Determined,

The Times Democrat presented
in its issue of June 10 the first
of it's Correspondents reports
on the cotton crop of 1907. and
gives the following as the con.
sensus of opinion:
l. There has been a distinct de.
crease in acreage, but the precise ex
tent of the decrease can not be deter.
mined until the outcome of the late
paintings is known.
2. There has been a great improve
ment in the weather of late, but the
season SO far has probably been the
worst of record.
3. The plant, as a rule, is small
and sickly, SO that perfect conditions
from this time forth will be needed to
avert absolute disaster. and the date
of killing frost will possess a
supreme Importance.
4. There are some complaints of
insufficient labor, because of the fact
that many negroes have migrated
from the fields to the towns.
5. A final estimate of the acreage
will be made in the July report.

1.-The Way of the naid."

1.-The Way of the naid."
A number of young ladies and
gentlemen of Jennings will
present The Way of the Maid"
a very entertaining musical
comedy, at the Jefferson Theatre
on Monday June II. They gave
two performances in Jennings to
crowded houses, and then gave
a performance in Crowley of
which the Crowley Signal of
June l has the following com.
plimentar.y notice:
The fair sized audience that attend
ed the amateur performance of the
''Way of the Maid' Friday right at
the Grand Opera House thoroughly
enjoyed a good, wholesome musical
comedy. The piece, in general, was
we'll acted and on the whole, the local
people saw a show that for genuine
entertainment and clean comedy, SUR
passed the average road troupe. The
piece a produced by jennings talent
for the benefit of the Episcopal church
at that place, and while the crowd was
not as large as the show justified,
they have the assurance that their
efforts we're thoroughly enjoyed and
a,oon;.t tod hr D,,r pooD1o
George Massey, a. Robinson, the
butler, undoubtedly scored the hit of
the evening. The part abounded in
opportunities and Mr.. Wasey gave it
a good Interpretation. David Ber-
wick, as Lord Blazonberrie, the lead
ing role, did we'll. Misses Elstner,
Josie, and Hilda Stern handled their
parts to their credit and Harriet Well
ingtOn and Corinne Hall, in character
roles, we're especially adapted to their
parts and deserve mention. Among
the ladies probably zone were sc we'll
versed in stage presence and seemed
more at ease back of the foOilights
than Miss Gladys Phillips, who had
the part OF q stammering student and
handled her part like a professional.
Mrs. Theaux, .as Madamoiselle
Jeanne, the teacher in charge of
Crandon Hall Seminar, merits
special mention. Harry Smith Henry
Taylor and Harry Moore we're we'll
cast.
Miss Alpha Midkiff, Sidney John
son and Cullen johnson sang some
very appropriate solos and rel gen
erously encored. The s~pecialties
we're all good. One of the best feat
ures OF the entire performance was the
music furnished by q pianist, violin
ard cornet, and their rendition of the
several pieces was anything but
amatenrish.
The entire program was q success
and Crowley audiences will look for q
word to return to Jennings talent.

Prior to his conviction, the police
received information Of plot by the
society to surround Constantine and
battle with the bailiffs to deliver him
from the clutches of the law, in case
q sentence Of death was carried by
the verdict. The escape a few hours
later Of two prisoners who we're in
the tier in which Constantine had
been confined, and the evidence of a
plot to free all prisoners procured
Yesterday, convince the authorities
that the unexpected removal Of the
murderer to another part Of the jail
before the hour for the consummatioa
Of the plot, is all that prevented his
delivery. The presence Of two hun

aspect gave color to the information

BURGLARY I
GOODS TAKEN FROM ,FRIEDMAFl's
sToRE FOUND AND
IDENTIFIED.

GRAFTON, Sept. 24.-The prelinl-
mary hearing was had yesterday in
Justice Lilly's ONCE Of the accused
arttes to the burglary Of the Friedman
clothing store last Friday night. The
case naturally attracted quite a large
crowd Of people who left an interest
IN the circumstances connected with
the burglary Assisting Prosecuting
Attorney A. W. Burdett was present
and Ioked after the States interests.
The accused had nc counsel.
The result Of the hearing vas that
w. s. steiner who claims to be ma
tive Of wilkesbarre, Pa, and John D.
Hurley, of NsntlcolSe, Pa, were each
held in the sum Of $4,000 to answer
a probable Indictment against them
at the coming term Of the circuit
court, which meets October 18th. c.
B. Brogan, John Brown, who claims
Plttsburg as his home, and Bert
Leary, a printer were held in $500
each as witness. Up to the hour Of
going to press neither OF the witness
es had secured bond.
The Testimony against Steiner and
Hurley is very strong, while that
against Brogan is very damaging, and
liz is quite likely he will be indicted
when the grand jury hears the testi-
mony that will be presented to that
body.
Quite number of witnesses on the
part Of the State were examined, all
Of which went to make up a pretty
strong case against the accused men.
No charge had been laid against Bro
gan, but theer was testimony brought
out that showed pretty conclusively
that he knew a great deal more about
the case than he was willing to adj
nit The worst feature was the find
ing of a portion of the stolen goods
in the room occupied by Brogan and
his wife in the Taylor boarding house
where all the PARTIES boarded, Bro
gun and his wife both testified that
the former was not out of the room
after 1880 O'Clock Friday night until
six O'Clock next morning.

.DYNAMITER WAS
caught IN ACIT
BOY WHO S tiE IS EoRcEp

HARD

PUNXsUTAWNEY, Pa. Sept. a.
Frank Adams, 10 years old, who
declares that three weeks ago he was
forced on penalty Of bis life to join
the Black Hand at Walston, mining
town near here, was captured by 4
squad Of State police while attempt
ing 10 dynamite a house. Capt. Rob,
inson Of the State troopers, heard that
the dwelling Of Salvatore spanelli,
who had incurred the enmity Of tho
society, was TO be destroyed by dt
Mantle. Although it was known tho
desperadoes had pickets out watching
them Sergeant Homer Chambers and
Priyates Casey, Haas Harpole, Flor
entine and Mosleit, gave them the
slip and at 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning Frank Adams was seen by
spanelll and that occupied by Felix
and Dominick catti. The posse rush
ed in on him and seized him. A reyol'
yer and a stilleto were found on him.
Further search revealed a can con,
tanning enough dynamite to blow up
an entire village planted in cellar
window under the spanelli house. A
fuse was attached but Adams had not
been given time to light it. When the
posse charged upon Adams they were
fred upon from across the street, but
the accomplices Of Adams escaped in
the darkness. Had the dynamite been
exploded the seventeen members OF
the spanelli and Catti families would
doubtless have been killed. When the
situation became known to the fami'
lies and their friends, the troopers
had difficulty in getting their prison
er away. After a sweating process,
Adams Is said to have confessed to
Capt. Robinson that he was a member
of the Black Hand society. He declar'
cd he was forced to either kill Span
elli or pay the penalty of his refusal
with his own life. He said this was
determined at a meeting of the local
gang three weeks ago and that he
was to have $50 for the job. Adams
who is we'll known in Walston, has
given the officers important informa
ton concerning the operations OF the
Black Hand.
