A Little Orphans Thanks.

Mrs, Matte Dunning, in order
to carry out the evident wish of
the grateful child, has sent The
Leader the following touching lit
tie letter from an inmate of the
county poor farm. It is publish
ed just as the little girl wrote it:
Lincoln County Poor House,
Jan. 13, 1907.
Dear Mrs. Dunning: - Many
thanks to you and others for the
box you sent US. We never got it
until the 9th. | never had the
least thought that you or any one
living in town would even think
of me, poor little pauper girl in
the poor house. | am little girl
ten years old. | 60 to school ev-
cry day. | am in the fourth
grade. We bad many good things
for Christmas; the superintendent
and Mr.. z. P. Jones never forgets
the inmates of the poor home. l
again thank you and others for
the box sent US, | hope to live
life that you and others will be
proud of the little girl in the poor
house. EULA GRAIN.
In sending the above letter to
The Leader. Mrs. Dunning ex-
planned that the box was made up
by pupils of the fourth grade of
the Brookhaven graded public
school, which was greatly to the
credit of these children, who
doubtless realize in this instance,
at least, that it is more blessed to
give than to receive.

Sheriff Owens, of Madison

the law as to the Opposition of
firearms taken from prisoners, and
few days since used an axe on
about one dozen pistols of various

are having them dropped In the

CIDER that his attorneys may have
time TO carry the case to the federal
courts. Castor killed Patrolman Da-
Wis as the policeman was about TO
arrest him. Castor was caught rob-
bling a house on East Broad street. In
the arguments for the reprieve Attor-
ney Mark w. Stevens, of Flint, and
Judge Sloan. of Columbus, made pleas
for young Castor's life. Prosecutor
Weber made this reply to Stevens:

court be stayed i'm this mans case

not made mistake in showing him
leniency, he would not have commit

DEVASTATED
KINGSTON
THE GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA WAS
INSULTING AND BRITAIN
is SHOCKED.
WOULD SQUARE THINGS
The Pin Head Whose Position Swelled
His caput Causes England a Thrill
of Shame-Can't Explain.


Rear Admiral Davis's mission OF
mercy to stricken Kingston came TO
an abrupt and painful conclusion Sat
urday in consequence of Gov. SWEET
tenham's objection to the presence OF
American sailors engaged in the work
of clearing the streets, guarding prop
erty and aiding the wounded and sick,
eliminating in letter to the admiral
peremptorily requesting him TO re-em-
bark all parties which had been land
ed. Hence the men from the fleet en-
gagged in the work of relief were re-
called and the United States ships
sailed from the stricken city.
a London dispatch says: After a
conference between officials Of the
foreign Office and of the colonial
Office, the latter cabled to Gov.
Swettenham of Jamaica, asking him
for his version of the situation which
led to the withdrawal O. Rear Admiral
pavis's warships FROM Kingston on
Saturday.
Shortly after the colonial office re-
celved a dispatch from Gov Swetten-
ham asking the British government TO
convey to the government of the Unit
the American assistance rendered by
Rear Admiral Davis.
The telegram contained no mention
OF the incident involving the depart
ure of the American warships, regard
ing which the British government is
still awaiting direct information.
Deep resentment is felt in navy
circles in Washington over what is
called the worse than churlishness of
Gov Swettenham of Jamaica in order
ing away the American vessels in COM
mand of Admiral Davis, who engaged
in relief work. There is high feeling
in both state and navy departments,
though In the former department at
tempts are made for diplomatic rea-
sons to minimize. The naval officers
say it is a gross, insult to the country
and to the sea service.
From official sources It is learned
that no attention will be paid by this
government to the action of Gov.
Swettenham 1t is held here that the
act of the governor is that of single
individual, for which the British gov
eminent is in no manner to be held
responsible.
Naval officers say that unless apol-
ogies are forthcoming the cordial re-
lations that have existed between the
American and British sailors ever
since the Manila bay fight will become
strained.
Baron Speck Won Sternberg. the Ger
man ambassador. today is probably
elated, though he won't give his feel
ings prominence. He has felt the sting
OF the navys resentment against Ger
many because of Admiral Dietrich's
action at Manila. and he is glad
doubtless, that something has hap
pened TO offset the dislike of Ger
many which has grown in American
naval circles
The sole redeeming feature of the
whole affair, as the navy views 1t, is
the apparent unanimity with which
the British press thus far has con-
demned the action of Swettenham.

Tired
Nervous

When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tally is low-your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the inn
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DR..
Miles Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
my wife suffered with nervousness
previous to recent attack Of typhoid
fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse. and could
hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good nights rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. DR.. Miles Nervine was recon-
mended by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a good nights
rest, and at the end OF the first weeks
treatment she was wonderfully i'm
proved. Continued use OF Nervine has
completed her entire cure"
