WHIPPED A WOMAN
Manly Conduct of Gang of Western
Tennessee MoraIists

Dickson. Tenn, June IA story of
mingled pity and brutal horror comes
from a community seventeen miles
west of this place.
One night recently a young woman,
accused of immortality, especially with
married men Of the community, was
taken from her hdme by half a dozen
or more men, stripped Of her clothing
and whipped upon her nude body ur-
til blood flowed from a score or more
wounds. The girl pleaded for mercy,
as did her aged father and mother,
but it was of no avail. She charged
the man who applied the lash with be-
ing one of the few who led her astray.
After the fiogging the girl was warn
ed to leave the community.
The mob is said to have warned the
man whom the woman accused and
who had applied the lash that unless
he ceased his attentions he, too, would
be whipped. It is charged by some
that all who took part in the affair
were responsible in a measure for the
girls downfall.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Ply local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
This tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Nine cases
cut of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

ELECTION RETURNS
ARE NOT ALL in
But it Begins to Look Like Gilchrist
and Fletcher Have Carried
the State

Jacksonville, Fla, June 17.-Demo-
cratic primaries were held throughout
Florida yesterday for the nomination
of United States senator to succeed
Senator Milton, for delegates to the
| ma tional convention from the state at
large and congressional districts. for
governor, for railroad commissioner,
and minor offices throughout the COM
mcnwealth.
For United States senator, Duncan
U. Fletcher was pitted against Gov.
Broward.
For governor, Albert W.. Gilchrist
and John N. c. Stockton were oppon-
ents, all four of these candidates hav-
ing been entitled to participation in
the primaries Of yesterday by virtue
of the fact that they led over their op-
ponents in the first primary. Up to
midnight indications were that Gill
christ has swept the state and that
probably his majority will be 5000 to
1000.
The race between Fletcher and Gov.
Broward will be close, indications
pointing to F'letcher's nomination, al
though the pendulum may swing in
either direction before all the returns
arc in.
1t is hard to indicate whether or not
an instructed delegation has been sent
to Denver. Returns for those offices
are incomplete.
From reports the vote polled will be
a heavy one, but there have been no
disorders as far as known.
General Gilchrist carried Stockton's
home ward, his home city and home
county by large majorities.

Ammunition

Tucson, Ariz., June IA dispatch

Mexican soldiers, under personal conn
mand Of Gen. Lorenzo Torres, is in the

ence. Immediately orders were dis
patched to the Mexican troops in the
