ploy a physician for every slight ailment
or injury that may occur in his family
nor can he afford to neglect them. as sd
slight an injury as the scratch of pin
has been known to cause the loss Of a
limb. Hence every man must, from ne.
cessity, be his own doctor for this class
of ailments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain's remedies have

Some Post Office News.

/, On July 1st stamped envelopes will be
advanced four cents q thou.ard. The
order was issued from the Post Office
Department some time ago and becom es
effective July /. The purcb basers of large
numbers of envelopes may feel the ad-
vance to some extent, though the general
public will hardly notice it.
After July special delivery letters can
be sent merely by the addition of ten
cents worth of stamps to the regular pos
tage, and it will not be necessary to use
the blue special delivery stamp as here
tofore. Across the face of the letter the
sender must indicate that the letter is
for special delivery, 80 that the attention
Of the postal clerk will be called to it.
This regulation will be of great conven-
ience to people who desire to send spe-
cial delivery letters. The regulation
goes into effect July /.
Another recent postal regulation Is to
the effect that box rent must be paid be-
$Rre the quarter closes, and not after the
lew quarter begins, as has been the GUS
tom for long time. If the rent has not
been paid at the expiration of the quarter
the box will be closed.
The advance in salary of the rural car
riers also goes into effect on July 1. This
will be welcome news to these faithful
servants of the people.

awful scandal which has been generally
reported on him recently being in the
hands of the church, he was to-day ex-
cluded.
Billings, upon hearing that his church
had positive proof that cast away the
slightest possibility of his innocence
being believed even by his friends, left
town on the next train. A pretty domes-
tic is involved. His wife, who is an in
valid, and his only child, a small boy,
are still here.
just what he will do with himself and
them Is unknown.

BUNDRIgk PAYS DEATH PENALTY.
STORY OF A HORRIBLY MURDER-T0UCH.
ING SCENE PRECEDED HANGING.

Cordeie, Ca, June 22.- George w.
Bundrick was hanged here yesterday.
The trap fell at 1910 O'Clock. Bundrick
made no statement. He only talked with
his baby boy, six years old. kissed him
goodbye at l1.40 O'Clock and he and
Zach Bundrick. brother OF George, left
the cell together. MrN Bundrick was
calm, showing very little emotion. The
baby boy was too small to realize what
was going on.
Bundrick stepped from his cell onto
the trap without tremor. being coo!
and calm and not the least nervous.
The black cap was placed on, the trap
sprung, and he was pronounced dead in
twelve minutes. The neck was not
broken.
Bundrick claimed to have been for
given and that he had made complete
peace with God.
1t will be remembered that while John
Fl. Schroeder, on September "a, 1902,
with his wife in buggy was returning
home, George and Andrew Bundriok
waylaid them and shot Schroeder, sitting
by his wife, and seriously wounded Mrs.
Schroeder. They had loaded their
guns with slugs of lead.
George w. Bundrick was sentenced to
death for the murder of John Schroeder
in Rains, Dooly county, Georgia, in 1902.
He escaped from the Americus Jail last
November, after the Prison Commission
and the Governor had refused to inter-
fere with the sentence.
Bundrick voluntarily surrendered to
John Edmondson at Downey, CAL, April
II, and confessed that he was the man
wanted in Georgia. he said he was
tired of hiding and being pursued ali
over the country, and was ready to be
carried back to take the consequences.
No more sensational murder ever oc-
cnrred in the State than the Staying of
Schroeder by George BundricE. A feuci
had existed between the Bundricks and
Schroders for long while over land
line. George Bundrick and brother
met Schroeder in the road one day and
ambushed him. Sohroeder's wife was in
the buggy with him. Schroeder was
killed and the wife wounded.
Both parties were prominent In that
section.
Bundrick's brother was tried, con-
victed and ia now serving life sentence
in the penitentiary. -.
George Bundrick esosp I'd Immediately
after the murder and fed to South
America. Many months after he was
captured in Mississippi and brought back
to Cordele for trial. The case was hard
fought, but he was convicted. A second
trial was secured, but he was again con-
victed and sentenced to death.
Until news of his voluntary surrender
in California came, not one word had
ever been heard of him. The Sheriff of
Sumter county went to California and
brought Bundriok back.
He had to be given another trial be-
cause the date set for his execution had
passed.
