tuberculosis.

tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brains, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment, constipation ensues and
the victim becomes thin, weak and
haggard. AS a result, the body be-
comes a fertile field for the germs
of disease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one Of the most insid-
ious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. Glider & Weeks sell rem
edy which they positively guarantee
will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or
they will pay for all the medicine
used during the trial. This remedy IS
an absolutely new pedical discovery
and has bee named Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets. Certainly no offer could be
more fair, and the offer of Glider &
Weeks is proof positive that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable
and infallible remedy. lnasmuch as
the medicine will cost you nothing II
it does not benefit YOU We urge you
who are suffering with indigestion or
dyspepsia to try this remedy. A
twenty-five cent box of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets contains enough med
icine for fifteen days. treatment.

CAPT. PETER G. HAMS
Army Officer Who Killed Annis Fac
es Prison Sentence.

Flushing, May l1.-Capt. Peter C..
Hams, Jr., Z. S. A, tonight faces a
prison term of from one to twenty
years. Despite all testimony submit
ted by the defense as tending to show
insanity, he was convicted late to-
day Of manslaughter in the first de-
gree for killing William E. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht Club last August.
Quickly following the young army
officers conviction. his counsel an
nounced they would produce a6fda-
Wits to show the jury had not been
properly guarded during the trial, and
upon this allegation will urge that a
new trial be granted. These afida-
time set for passing sentence and for
Wits will be submitted on Monday, the
anv motions defendant counsel de-
sire to make.
There will, Of course, be the usual
motions to set aside the verdict, but
the unguarded jury feature is the on
ly departure from the stereolyped pro-
ceedure looking to new trial.
Captain Hams stood up and faced
the jury, squaring his shoulders while
Foreman Sundling recited the YER
dict. AS he heard the decision OF
the jurors Hams face was white as
chalk. He stood for a moment mo-
tionless, staring at the jury. Then,
one of his lawyers touched him and
he quietly sat down. A few moments
later, apparently little affected by
the verdict, he walked from the court
room with a steady stride and was
| then back to the Queens county jail
The court charged the jury, defin-
ing the different degrees Of murder
and as to insanity and concluded by
saying the jury could bring in one OF
the following degrees of the verdict
Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, guilty Of murder in the second
degree, guilty of manslaughter in the
first degree, not guilty, or not guilty
on the ground of insanity. The jury

FARMER SHOT BY NEGRO
Town of Johnston, S. c., in Great
I. Excitement Over Ruthless
Crime.

Columbia, May 1.-THE town of
Johnston, is in a state Of great ex-
|citement this morning as the result
@of the serious and perhaps fatal
shooting of Mr. c. A. Jordan, a
wealthy and popular farmer living
near Johnston, by negro field hand
named Peter Coates, who has made
his esacpe.
The Johnston chief called on the
governor for the penitentiary blood
hounds, and in the absence Of the
governor his private secretary made
arrangements with the penitentiary
authorities to have the dogs sent ov-
er, although the governors office is
no believer in dogs for hunting down
terminals in cases of this kind.
Coates is understood to be surround
ed in a swamp several miles from
Johnston.
The Johnston chief said he had
made arrangements to have the dogs
brought over in an auto by Colum-
bia friend, but this Columbian told
Secretary Bethea he couldn't go. The
shooting took place following a quar-
rel between the two men in the field.
Talking over the phone to your
correspondent the Johnston chief
said that though. excitement was run
ming high he expected no attempt at
a lynching, though he was not able
to say what might happen in certain

A Partisan: journalist recently
wrote a rather unfavorables criticism
Of the performance Of a well known
actress. The latter was keenly
wounded, and watched for a chance
to avenge herself. She was one eve
ming at the Varieties, with a young
aristocrat for an escort, when she es-
pied the critic. She had a package
with her, which she requested her
friend to deliver in person. The
dandy rose, and, taking the package,
walked over to where the journalist
was sitting with a party, and present
ed it to him, saying: "Mademoiselle,
who admires your talents, has re-
quested me to present you with this
souvenir from her." The critic took
it and opened it before his friends,
who had heard the dandy's little
speech. It contained about a dozen
goose quilts, and smiles and sup
pressed laughter went around. But
the critic was equal to the occasion.
"Ah, my dear sir" said he to the
messenger, please give my best
thanks to the young lady for these
pretty feathers. I was aware of the
fact that she plucked her admirers,
but I really did not imagine she did

where 1t fits in somewhat the same

and all .skirting materials that are
adapted to so simple a style are ap-

are worked on the right front edge
for its entire length, and the skirt Is
closed by means of these b%uttonholes
and buttons, but, If preferred, the
hens can be stitched to position to
the depth Of a placket and buttons
and buttonholes used above, or the
closing can be made invisibly. In
such case the trimming can be simu-

thing that may be preferred.

is fitted by means of darts over the
hips and the front edges are finished
with hens.
