CRAZY MAN CAKEWALKS
WITH HYENA AUDIENCE

PARIS, Nov. 20.-Dancing, It seems.
amuses hyenas. They love to see it, and
become interested spectators. 1t took a
former inmate of a lunatic asylum to
demonstrate this hitherto unknown sci
entific fact, and his proof has been I'M
disputed. The keepers Of the Jardin des
Plantes, which is the Paris zoo, observ-
ed a strange looking man walking around
the cages of the wild beasts early in the
morning, talking and gesticulating wildly.
Suddenly he took of his coat and climoed
over the iron bars into the cage where
two hyenas were kept
The wild beasts did not fancy the in
truder at first, but when he had taken
off most of his clothes and started cake
walk, they became interested. Their eyes
twinkled and their limpy tails wagged.
as they crouched down and watched HIS
movements They would not for the world
interfere with the free entertainment he
offered them.
1t was when the keepers captured the
intruder and hauled him, bound with
ropes, out of the cage, that they puffed,
snorted and otherwise protested against
the interruption of the spectacle. Their
well-intentioned friend has been taken
back to the asylum, whence he had been
released only a month ago.

How to Get Rid
of CataFFh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
It Costs Nothing to Try

Those who suffer from catarrh know its
miseries There is no need of this suffer-
ing. You can get rid of 1t by a simple,
safe, inexpensive. home treatment discov-
cred by DR.. Blosser, who, for over thirty
five years, has been treating catarrh sue
cessfully.
His treatment Is unlike any other. II
is not a spray. douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any or these. It
cleans out the head throat nose and lungs
so that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge, so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and spit
ting, and at the same time 1t does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment with
out cost, send your address to DR.. j. w.
Blosser, 81 Walton street, Atlanta, Ga.
and he will send you by return mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy you that
II is all he claims for 1t as a remedy for
catarrh catarrhal headaches. catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds and all
catarrhal complications. He will also
send you free an illustrated booklet.
Write him Immediately.

less pardoned out. DR.. Elliott's SEN
tence was committed Thursday night by
Governor Brown, and at the suggestion
of the governor the murderer was rushed
to Atlanta from LAGRANGE, this step be-
ing taken as a precaution against any
possible outbreak of violence on the part
Of the public He was literally snatched
from the shadow Of death.
Governor Brown did not act finally on
the Elliott case until $3.50 o'clock Thurs
day night. Then he wired Sheriff o. H.
Florence, of Troup county:
'T have commuted sentence of j. NJ.
Elliott from death by hanging to inn
prisonment for life. Bring him by first
train to tower in Atlanta.
JOSEPH M. BROWN,
Governor"
Elliott expressed deep gratitude for the
governors action in issuing the commu-
tation, and declared that he would live
the life of a gentleman in the peniten-
tiary
The Communication of DR.. Elliott came
only after one OF the hardest legal battles
ever witnessed in this state. Standing in
the shadow Of the gallows on three diff
ferent times, the doomed man was thrice
saved by respites from the governor, and
finally commuted. His case was twice
in the state courts, was heard four times
by the state pardon board, thrice by the
governor and once by lunacy commits
sion.
The crime for which DR.. Elliott was
convicted was committed September 1,
1905 when he shot and killed George l..
Rivers one of the most inoffensive citi-
zens of LAGRANGE. The killing took place
on the front porch of the Rivers board
ing house.
DR.. Elliott, who was alleged to be adj
dicted to the habit of drugs, had shortly
before had a quarrel with his young wife,
striking a negro girl, who was nursing
his child. From his wifes room, Elliott
went to the front porch of his home.
Directly opposite was the Rivers board
ing house.
FIRED WITHOUT WARNING.
Without warning, DR.. Elliott began to
fire at Rivers, infiicting three wounds
from which Rivers died "a hours later.
Elliott was tried at the November term
of the Troup county superior court The
trial was bitterly fought. Elliott was
represented by Attorneys Mcneil, of Ma
con, and Mooty, of LAGRANGE. A long
list of witnesses was examined by the
defense and the prosecution.
A verdict of guilty was returned after
a trial of over a week, and Elliott was
sentenced to be hanged. A motion for a
new trial was denied by Judge r. w.
Freeman and the case was carried to the
state supreme court, which sustained the
decision of the lower court.
The death sentence was postponed from
time to time by petitions for commuta-
ton to life Imprisonment and the plea of
emotional insanity, and much purported
evidence was accumulated.
Elliott had moved to LAGRANGE from
Macon only three weeks before he killed
Rivers.
LAGRANGE, Ga, Nov. 1s.-While a
few in LAGRANGE last night were aware
that Dr. ]. NJ. Elliot was quietly taken
out of Jail and hurried to the train to be
taken to the Atlanta Jail under Governor
Browns orders. citizens say there was no
need of any apprehension of lynching.
Many people in LAGRANGE and Troup
county, who are familiar with the case,
are heard to criticise the governors ac-
ton.
