BOAR RIPS A MULE
AND A FINE HORSE
Vicious Beast Badly Injuries An
imals.

Mr.. w B. Heys came near losing
a valuable mule yesterday on his farm
near Americas from the vicious at
tack of a boar penned in the pas
ture. The hog was considered harm
less, but in a sudden fit of anger it
attacked the horse with it's razor-like
tusks and soon cut him fiat to the
ground Farm hands rushed to the
rescue and drove off the boar ere he
ripped open the PROSTATE horse. The
Infatuated animal then attacked fine
mule and with one sweep of his tusks
ripped a hole a foot long in it's side.
The horse may die from loss of
blood, although prompt work saved
the life of the mule.

WHIPPING is GIVEN A
NURSE BY CITIZEN
For Beating a Child Without
Cause.

There is one nurse in Americas who
will be careful when next she beats,
without cause, the little child she is
expected to care for. A day or two
ago a citizen here, sitting upon his
veranda, saw a colored nurse severely
whip little child that cried from pain
when smoke from a passing engine
got in her eyes. Indignant at such
treatment to child, he seized a
whalebone buggy whip and, rushing
into the street, administered a beating
that nurse will remember to her dy-
ing day. After thrashing the wo-
man severely he reported the affair
at the child's residence. Many little
children here, sent out in care of
negro nurses, are oftimes badly
treated, but it is a debatable ques-
ton whether or not the parents care,
in all cases, if the nurse viii only
keep the job.

TUMORS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia 6. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs OF
Lydia E. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of wonans
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumorS.
Mrs. May Fry, of s36 W. OOlfax
Ave South Bend, Ind, writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
AZ take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for me- l also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared I had. They had said that
only an operation could help me. l am

advice and took your medicine. 1t has

l shall recommend it as long as | live. J"
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of % Ruggles St.,

Dear Mrs. Pinkham -

THE FIXING OF PROFITS.

The state must determine just
what would be a reasonable profit
On actual investments and just what
profits the corporations are max
ing" says the Georgian in a long edi-
torial.
Is one hundred per cent. a year,
the profits of the Atlanta Stove Works,
a reasonable profit to take from the
public, and why should the State
allow such exorbitant profits, any
way?
And if the state fixes the profits of
railroads say at eight per cent a year,
and the railroad fails to earn it one
year, or two years, will the state
make it up to the stockholders be-
cause it prevented them from making
10 or y per cent. during the good
times.
The Atlanta Stove Works will
plead, if the State tried to stop it
from making one hundred per cent.
another year, that it does not always
do it, and that next year it might lose
money. Does not the same argument
apply to railroads.
Really the question of fixing the
rate of profits for co porations is
serious one. If profits are to be fix
ed for railroads, why not 70 rthe At
lanta Stove Works, which is a joint
stock company, or a wholesale groc-
cry house which may also be stock
company, or a cotton mill, many of
which make twenty, thirty or forty
per cent. a year for their stockhoId-
ers.
They, one and all, railroads, stove
works, jobbers, and cotton mills,
make their profits out of the general /
public.
If we are going to fix profits lets
do the thing right, fix them on all lines
of business, guarantee them in bad .
years, and restrict them in good ones.
That is really the only just way of
doing the thing.
There is no more reason why the
of the Georgian and the
Journal should receive dividends of
fifteen or twenty per cent. a year than
those of the Central railroad.
Of course the Georgian will argue
that the railroads enjoy special priv
leges from the public, and all that,
but the real meat of the thing is that
hey are claimed to be making too
much money out of the public. And
yet their stockholders never dreamed
If a 100 per cent. net profit in one
year, like those of the Atlanta Stove
Works received, or 20 to 40 per cent.

R0OSEyELTS COMING SPEECH.

Those in position to speak with
some authority state that in the
speeches the President is tc make in
his forthcoming tour of the Mississ-
ippi valley he will not only reiterate
his policy in regard to the trusts
and show his intention to follow it
to the end but will also sound a note
of warning as to the condition of the
country. He will refer to the history
of Rome and show that a close par
allel may be drawn between it's econ
omic situation in its later days and
the state of affairs in the United
States at the present moment.
The President will apply the les
sons OF history especially to the power
welded by the railroads He will
argue that they are already a men
ace to the republic and must be res
trained He will declare that the
only solution of the difficulty that he
thinks possible is Federal control,
and he will strongly recommend this
should be applied.
He will advocate much the same
kind of control of railroads from
Washington as is already exercised by
the Federal authorities over the nat
ional banks By this means he will
suggest the companies be held in
check and prevented from exerting
their power to the detriment of the
country as a whole.

the shooting on the Madison Square
Garden roof, leaving the malice and
the motive to be inferred from the
act-and the defense replied with a
plea of hereditary insanity. 1t was as
serted that Thaw in Staying Stanford
White believed he was acting as an
agent of Providence, that real or fan
cied wrongs committed against him
by the architect and former friend of
his wife, had bubbled in his brain un-
I'll at last there came the explosive
impulse to kill. When the deed was
done, Thaw made no move to escape
Its consequences, but holding the fatal
revolver aloft he stood as If nutely
proclaiming to the world: The deed
Is done; 1t was right; II was not
wrong"
Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his
case to the jury after the prosecution
had occupied less than two hours of
the morning sitting of the court in re-
ating through eyewitnesses the mar
rative of the tragedy. When the de-
Tense had interposed its plea and out
lined its case, an adjournment was
taken until to-day, when the first wit
nesses in Thaw's behalf will be heard.

Two Pages of Or. Taft's Diary.
W6ss;.sssElaies -

The standard biographies of Lin
coin and the newspapers of 1865 make
brief mention of DIR. Taft as being
present at the presidents death and
the autopsy. There can be no doubt
of the genuineness of the notes. The
house on Twenty-second street former
ly occupied by DR.. Taft, is now a
boarding house, and the doctors name
is unknown to the present occupant.
Some of the older residents in the
neighborhood, however, remember him,
but indistinctly.
DIR. Taft begins his memoranda of
the great tragedy in these words:
Notes of the circumstances attend
ing the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin, president of the United States,
