Committed, Suicide

Up to the time the editor of The
Advertiser left last week for Green
vile to attend the Press Association
only very mcagre information had
been received in Edgefeld concern
ing the death of Mr.. George Bush,
consequently the issue of last week
did not contain a full announcement.
Since our return from Greenville
we have learned the particulars.
George Bush met death at his own
hands. His body was found about
one mile north of Plum Branch by
a dozen or more citizens who were
looking for Bush to arrest him.
The ball from his pistol, which was
living near his body, entered his
head back of the ear. The report
of the pistol was heard by negroes
who were working near by. Bush
realizcd the enormity of the crime
he had committed, and rather than
suffer the penalty provided by law
for such a crime he committed
suicide.

NEED OF STREET SIGNS.

To the Editor Of The Republican,:
 Sir-Knowing that your valuable paper is interested in the welfare of your beautiful city of Phoenix. I beg to suggest that you suggest to the citizens of Phoenix the necessity of having street signs placed on the cor ners of the streets. As a tourist and stranger. il Is almost impossible to find ones way about your fair city. being unable to find the names of the streets This beautiful city is so un- like most cities of its size that have blue coated policemen to ornament each street corner. In one afternoon l asked six F~pple to direct me to a location. Five were strangers and knew nothing about the city, but the sixth was a resident of Phoenix and was able to give the right direction. Write or speak to your councilman about it and let him bring or assist it to be brought before your common council. and have them ready to act to pass an ordinance that will place a street sign on every corner. Then every one would be. able to find his way about in this beautiful city of the Salt River valley.
 Respectfully.
 A TOURIST.

WHEELOCKS WORD
 GOES ON CLASSMATES
He Gives Hackett's Show His Un- qualified Endorsement. Urges All To See 1t.

NIT. Wheelock, the manager of the Elks theater, called at the office of The Republican yesterday to make the following statement. since l have had charge of the theater for the Elks. l have made the promise that I shall on all occasions that are possible, have the best attractions in here for the patrons of the house. and that l shall never give the word that a play is good when it is not So far the public has trusted me and r think that I am safe in saying that I have never betrayed that trust. When have said come" the per formance was in every way up to the high standard that I had prom missed.
 We have been in a bad way for some time now. for anything that was at all worth while, and realizing this I have made arrangements with Nor man Hackett to play here on Tuesday in Robert Blossoms big hit Glass Mates" but to do so l have been obliged to pay half of a special train from Tucson in here This will leave us with no profit to the house, but will be making good on what was said at the beginning of the season. that Phoenix should have the best to be had at every opportunity. This play I know to have been one Of the most popular produced in New York. and that the management, Jules Mur- ", has gotten together the best cast that money could procure. and that not only has he brought the original scenery, but in the one big scene, that of the jungle of South America. he has even gone the New York pro- iuction one better. The reports that have reached me of this scene have been of the most glowing description, and from all directions I hear noth- ing but praise for the entire play, cast and mounting.
 I am sure that all those that attend the night of the 23rd will leave the theater fully satisfied that they have seen one of the best entertainments :o be seen in the west today. I ask ed the management just how far l could go in saying that this was the best, and reminded them that it was to their interest as well as my own to tell the truth, as they were tO have other attractions in here next year, and the reply was, Go as far as you like, this is the best thing that l have ever had anything to do with"
 So there you have it, and I hope that the public will attend in full force, and that once again I shall have lived up to my word and have given them even more cause to trust me.

PLENTY 0F GOOD WATER Natures Great Remedy Also
 a Prescription
Mix This Recipe Yourself and Try It For Kidney Trouble or Rheumatism.

"The people here do not drink enough water to keep healthy" ex- claimed a well-known authority "The numerous cases of kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water. natures greatest medicine, has been neglected
 Stop loading your system with medi- cines and cure-alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick. why, of course, take the proper medi- cines-plain common vegetable treat ment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach"
 To cure Rheumatism you must make the kidneys do their work: they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism: the urine must be neu- tralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and, most of all. you must keep these acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble and poor di gestion. For these conditions you can do no better than take the following prescription: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla. three ounces. Mix by shaking well in bottle and take in teaspOonful doses after each meal and at bedtime, but don't forget the water. Drink plenty and often.
 This valuable information and sim pie prescription should be posted up in each household and used at the first sign of an attack of rheumatism. back ache or urinary trouble, no matter how slight.

PATHETIC MESSAGE
"BEMEVE IN HIM, THAT Is ALL,
DEAR, GOD BLESS YOU"
A Touching Letter Written to His
Wife by Young Scotch Miner
While Entombed in Cherry Mine.

A Cherry, ILL.,, dispatch says letters
written in their underground prison
by some of the miners rescued alive
came to light in various quarters.
One Of the most touching was writ
ten by John Lorrimer to his wife,
Ssdie. Lorrimer is q young Scot
from Ayrshire, whence he came to
America 10 years ago.
HE just laughs and says he will
20 back to the mine when he is
WELL" said his wife. Although I'd
be willing, after what has happened,
to support him myself il he would
only get safer work"
AS was the case at the home OF
each of the score of men rescued
alive, Lorrimer received in his bed
room many callers who wished to
congratulate him on his escape.
Lorrimer's letter follows:
Dear Wife: l am living, al
though it is now five O'Clock
o'clock on Sunday morning and all
hope is gone as the black damp is
getting the best of US. There is 2l
of us all together. Dear wife, don't
grieve. We will meet you. God bless
you. Believe in Him. He will take
care of you. ! guess we will meet
in a better land. When you get over
this let them know at home (Scot-
land). That is all, dear. God bless
you.
Your loving husband
All of the farewell letters were
written on pages torn from the
time-book carried by mine boss Wal
ter Waite. Waite had the only lead
pencil in the group and it was pass
ed from hand to hand in order that
all might write.
One instance of the self-sacrifice OF
the more sturdy prisoners was relat-
ed by Lorrimer.
"Walczinski, I think that was his
name, was sixty years old, and the
weakest among u.s." said Lorrimer.
"Our greatest suffering came from
thirst, for only thimblefuls could be
got from the seepage. WalcZinskl
grew so exhausted that he could not
stoop over but had to lie on his face
to drink. We made holes In the
ground with our fingers and then
waited for the oozing water to I'LL
them. When water filled a small
hole there was not Q man but craved
it madly. But the stronger men fire.
quently passed their turns to let the
old man drink"

BITES OF WHITE PET MICE
Causes Death by Blood poisoning OF
Young Infant.

A sad and rather peculiar death
occurred in the town OF Barnwell
Friday afternoon when the infant
Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Holman pass
ed away. The baby was only SIX
weeks old. The causes leading to
the death make the death a most
pathetic one. Friday afternoon
week ago the little infant was left
in a room on the bed while Mrs.
Holman went to another part OF
the house. There were some pet
white mice in the house, the pets OF
an elder sister. While there was no
one in the room the mice got upon
the bed with the baby and begun
gnawing at her fingers. Her cries
were heard after time by her moth
er and " hen the latter came IN the
room she found that the rats had
bitten the little child on the hands
several times and had gnawed on
one of her finger nails. Medical as
sistarce was called in and everything
possible was done to prevent any fur
ther trouble from the wounds. un-
fortunately blood poisoning set IN
and, despite the efforts of the ply
sicians to save her, she died at 1880
Friday afteroon.

POLITE RUsE SAVES BURGLAR.
Shakes Hands With Intended Victim
Apologies and Escapes.

Allen Douglass, SEA of E. 7. Doug
lass, general manager of the Western
Transit Company, was so dumbfound-
ed when a burglar faced him In his
home a few days ago in Buffalo, N.
Y, that he shook hands with him
ard watched him jump through O
window and escape from the roof OF
veranda, powerless to raise an
alarm.
II didn't realize that the man was
a burglar until he was gone, said
young Douglass. Il was intensely i'll
terested in a book when heard a
noise and, looking up, saw the man.
He extended his hand courteously
and l grasped it and shook it,
I'm looking for my sister, old
pal, but l guess she isn't here, he
said, and apologizing for his intru-
sion, jumped out the window. The
burglar got nothing.
