KICKED BY A HORSE.

Yesterday evening Byron
Moody. the IL year old son of T.
G. Moody, was kicked by horse
and painfully hurt. It seems he
was trying to catch the horse
which was grazing in the yard
and the animal wheeled from
him and playfully kicked up, her
heels stricking him in the mouth,
knocking out two of his teeth
and otherwise decorating his
face. He is getting along as
we'll as could be expected under
the circumstances.

THE FOURTH AT BOUGHTON.

The Fourth was a big day in
the history of Boughton. Many
people from Prescott and sur
rounding community gathered at
that place to take advantage of
the hospitality of the people of
that little city. Singing was en-
gagged in all through the fore
noon, and when Mr.. DeLaughter
announced dinner and invited all
to come up and get all they could
eat, there..was a general rush in
that direction. The meats were
barbecued to a turn and the pies
and cakes prepared by the good
women would be hard to equal.
There was an astonishing guam
tity of everything eatable and it
is safe to say that every one got
all they wanted.
A slow and uninteresting ball
game was pulled off in the after
noon b tween Thomasville and
Boughton in which Thomasville
came out the winner by the score
of 9 to 7.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Postmaster Jack Grayson had
very narrow escape of being
seriously injured this morning.
Somebody threw a quart bottle
through the sky-light in the Post
office and it y Used his head less
than foot, smashing the sky
light, but did not break the bot
tie. Mr.. Grayson has pretty
strong evidence as to where the
bottle came from, and an invest
igation will likely be made.

A poultry fancier of Buffalo, N.

carrier pigeons with the request
that he turn them loose here at
stated time. Prescott is just eX-

here to test their speed. At 5
O'Clock yesterday morning ey
were turned loose on the hotel
lawn and circled three or four
times high in the air and then
struck off in a northeasterly d.

of some of our citizens the fact
that a dozen of the same kind of

reduced to ashes in the rear Of

amount in cancelled warrants
was being consumed by fire, a

by Governor Pindall, State Aud

with his attitude toward the Fowler
currency bill"
There is mystery and magic in the
number seven-there is no doubt
about that. 1t is an odd number, to
begin with. The septemyirate could
not deadlock itself. Four members,
doubtless, would constitute a major
ity, and so four of the seven would
rule and as the four would be Re-
publicans, as the House stands, the
three Democrats in the septemvirate
would have nothing to do but quar-
rel among themselves. The present
committee on rules consists of the
Speaker, two Republicans, and two
Democrats. When necessary, the
Speaker is a majority, and business is
dispatched to the satisfaction of the
Republicans.
The two Democratic members have
succeeded in quarreling constantly,
however, and in the last session they
even had the pleasure of indulging in
fist fight on the floor of the house.
Whether the business of the House
would be expedited by making three
Democratic factions instead of two is
a question to be determined
Mr.. Cannon was chosen by the Re-
publican majority because of his long
experience, his fairness, and his abil-
| ity to dispatch business. lie has been

WHAT CAUSES DYSPEPSIA
And Incidentally Constipation, Coated
Tongue, Nervousness, Headache,
and Other symptoms.

Did you ever know that the stom-
ach is churn? That just as soon as
you are done eating, the healthy stom-
ach commences to roll the food
around, and mixes it thoroughly
with the juices of the stomach?
And did you know, dear reader,
that if the stomach is run down or
flabby, so that it cannot do the
churning, that dyspepsia is the re-
suit?
If the food is not churned, it lays
heavily on your stomach, turns sour
and causes all kinds of distressing
symptoms, such as headache. coated
tongue, constipation, ETC.
And so, as every physician will
tell you, the way to cure dyspepsia
is to fix the churn, or in other words
build up the stomach so that it will
mix the food.
If you have dyspepsia and want
to get rid of it before it gets rid Of
you, go to Dodson's Pharmacy, and
get large box of Mona tablets
The cost is only so cents, and every
reader of the Times-Recorder is vel.

DIVORCE MILL IN SOUTH
DAKOTA GETS BLOW

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. lin the
referendum of last week the people
of South Dakota voted overwhelm-
ingly to end the famous. divorce mill,
After the State Canyassing Board
meets at. Perre the first week of next
month and announces officially that
the law has been approved, it will
no longer be possible for discontent-
ed wives and husbands to live in
South Dakota six months and obtain
divorce in secret.
In the twelve largest counties in
the State the vote on the approval of
the new statute was: Yes, 15,805;n
10,1S9. The fact that the divorce
mill has been worth 100000 to Sioux
Falls alone explains the large mega
tive vote.
The new law provides that the
plaintiff in an action for divorce must
have been an actual resident of this
state in good faith for one year and
of the. county in which action is be-
gun for three months preceding the
suit
Parties married in the State and
residing in it have the right to sue
for divorce at any time. All hearings
of divorce cases must be held at
the regular term of court
The last section of the law provi-
des that if the cause of action arises
in the State then action may be
brought at any time after the plain
tiff has lived in the State for six
months This portion of the law, in
the view of some Sioux Falls di-
vorce lawyers, opens the way to q
continuation of at least a part of the
divorce traffic. All that parties will
have odo under the new law to COM
mence the action in six months, as
at present, is for both to come to the
State instead of one and separate, one
remaining and the other returning

RULING THE HOUSE.

Now comes Mr.. Charles N. Fowler,
a representative from New Jersey,
with plan to abolish one-man power
in the House of Representatives Mr..
Fowler announces that he will be
a candidate for Speaker in opposition
to Mr. Cannon, and this is the plat
form he stands upon:
The House of Representatives
shall elect a board of managers,
consisting Of seven members,
who shall be charged with that
direction of legislation which is
now assumed by the Speaker of
the House
Mr. Fowler does not explain why q
septemvirate would be better thar
one man, or a triumvirate, or dec
emvirate, but presumably he has in
mind seven good men and true whose
minds will work in unison and "di
rect the legislation" most favored by

reason why Mr.. Fowler advocates {

because he has been displeased with

EARLY ADVANCE
QUICKLY LOST
Bulk of Transactions on
85-S Basis

In the early trading hours yester-
day some cotton was sold on a basis
of 81 cents for good middling, but the
demand at this price quickly subsidized.
In the afternoon there was a lull,
but late in the day the bulk of the
days transactions took place on a
basis of Is of cent below that first
named. One lot of poor cotton was
disposed of in the morning, but the
only grades wanted in the afternoon
were middling or above. During the
day some buyers were bidding slight
ly below the prevailing prices, but
without getting results. Quotations
are unchanged at SIS cents, basis good
middling. Receipts for the day were
