NE GRO DIES OF PISTOL
WOUNDS IN BODY.
Johnson Bored Through By
Bullets.

Gus Johnson, a negro painter well
known about town, died Sunday
morning from the effect of several
pistol wounds received two nights be-
fore, one of the bullets striking him
in the abdomen and passing entirely
through his body, coming out near
the vertebrae.
How Johnson managed to get home
after being shot is surprising to
those who saw the wounds.
Johnson has been here quite a
long while, doing painting and odd
jobs The story of the shooting was
not generally known until the negro
died
Johnson's story of the affair was
to the effect that he was shot Friday
night by unknown parties as he
was going home from the lodge. .
Another story of the affair, and
that which seems to be generally ac-
cepted, is of altogether different ma
tUre.
AT all events it was a line shot
and Johnson reaped a harvest of lead

Los Angeles, Cal, February IA
Guy Eddie, city prosecutor under the
good government administration, an
nounced that society women who in
dulge in quiet games of bridge, ole
maid or any similar apstime fol
prizes will be arrested.
They are just as guilty of a mis-
demeanor, he says, as the man who
conducts a "blind tiger, and must be
dealt with accordingly.
There will be a rustling of sill
skirts and bustling of French heels
and an angry buzzing about the ears
of Mayor Alexander when the police
start to gather in the feminine
gamblers"
''I have been informed that bridge
is not the only gambling game tha
many of the society women indulge
in when they go out to spend a quie
afternoon" said the prosecuting at
torney.
Bridge is tame for some of thu
western bellies and of late I have
heard that poker-the real thing
draw, stud and all the brands O
that typical game-has become th'
pastime of many of the club wo

BIG VOTE IN ATLANTA
TODAY ON BOND ISSUE
Citizens Are Aroused Upon
Subject

Atlanta, February 14.-Not even a
heated campaign for the mayoralty
could have aroused Atlantians any
more thoroughly than has that for
tomorrow's election determine the
question of the issue Of $3,O00,O00 Of
bonds for municipal improvements.
Meeting after meeting has been
held in the various wards in all of
which bond clubs have been organ
lied; women's organizations, patriotic
and itherwise, have met on bonds and
resolved to get their husbands to
vote for the ISSUE.
The campaign eliminated tonight
in monster mass meeting held in
the auditorium, where the speakers
told of the necessity for the bonds and
stereopticon views showed the why
and wherefore of them.
The public mind has been imbued
with the idea that Atlanta is "in a
bad fix" unless this bond issue goes
through; and if it fails it won't be
for any lack of hard work.
Yet there is uneasiness on the part
of the leaders. They know there IS
some opposition, but they do not
know the extent of it. They know OPP
position is dangerous ~ view of
the requirement of a two-thirds favor
able vote, of all those who have reg
istered.
There are more than 10000 votes
registered, and it will require just
7,041 votes to get the bonds through.

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem.
edy at Once.

Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucuous membrane
is, one may say, the interior lining
of the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumu-
lated poisons. The organ which has
been afflicted ceases to perform it's
proper function as nature intended it
should. The result is, complication
upon complication, which may lead to
more serious afflictions.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh
and his great success with this rem
edy was an enviable one
We want you if you are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone thorough trial
Use it with regularity and persistency
for a reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us
and without question or formality we
will hand you back every cent you
paid us. This is certainly the fairest
offer that any one could make, and
should attest our sincerity of pur
pose. 1t comes in two sizes, so cents
and $1.00. Remember you can OBJ
tain it only at our store-The Rexall

The Americus postoffice circulated
thousands of valentines yesterday and
it was the busy day of the carriers
it was the busy day of the carriers
who took the gaudy daubs and the
more artistic love tokens to hundreds
of homes throughout the city where
expectant misses and dodgeful spin
sters were in waiting.
Even the Jacksonville mali was
exceeded one time, in volume, by the
number of valentines, though the
daily correspondence from the Florida
town came full
More walls" were sent yesterday
than for many years past, the post
card finding great favor.
The demand for valentines has been
unusually large this season, especial
ly for the more artistic designs, which
apparently, are replacing the comic
varieties so much in vogue in former
years.
The bashful swain was thus en-
abled to tell the cherubs and the GU
pids whatbhis knotted tongue would
balk at uttering in the presence of
the fair recipient.
The designs offered were not only
prettier than usual, but the cost IS
more reasonable than formerly. The
artistic valentine, appropriate as a
gift and handsome as an ornament,
is now within the reach of even the
modest pocketbook
Very little is known about St.
Valentine, except that the day has
been set aside in his honor, but there
is an old belief, alluded to by Shakes
peare, that birds begin to mate on
the day; hence the custom of the
passing of love tokens between the
sexes.

GEORGIA BELLE IS
ROBBED OF ESTATE
Married NObIemaO TO Be
Cheated of Fortune.

Rome, February 14.-Tre recently
reported attack on Donna Eugenia
Ruspoli by one Of her footmen is
much discussed here, as it is believed
that it is not unconnected with the
various law suits she is bringing in
the Italian courts against her late
husbands will.
The story Of her life since her
union with the Italian nobleman is a
very sad one and another proof Of
how often marriages of American
heiresses to Italian noblemen end in
misery. Donna Eugenia Ruspoli was
born at Oakville, in the state OF
Georgia as Eugenia Enfield Berry. AT
an early age she married one OF
Americas millionaires Mr. Barton,
who died shortly afterwards and left
her all his fortune.
Later the rich and beautiful widow
played a leading part in New York
and Washington society, and before
long fell in love with the handsome
Italian attache, Don Enrico Ruspoli,
who tried to win her as his bride
and dangled before her the additional
attraction that in due course she
would become the Duchess Ruspoli.
The marriage was arranged and sol
emnized in Washington with much
aclat. Soon after the marriage, how
ever, Don Enrico made no secret of
the fact that his love was for the
dot and not for the fair widow And
he behaved to her accordingly.
He resigned his post at the en-
bassy and returned to Italy and then
at once put the law in motion to
get control of his wifes fortune. He
succeeded in this, and proceeded to
buy "a beautiful property near Rome
and palace in the city itself, and
spent fortune in erbuilding and dec
Grating these places. The relations
between husband and wife grew worse
and Don Enrico finally forced her to
leave the chateau to him and live IN
Rome by herself. Subsequently he
died, and when his will was read it
transpired that he had left the whole
of his wifes fortune to his brothers
and his sister, who is married to the
Duke de Gramont. Both the castle in
Rome, and the palace in the country
were given away, and Donna Eugenia
Ruspoli was left almost penniless:
The family of Ruspoli, who by the
way, are only branch line Of the
ducal family of that name and never
likely to inherit the title, took ijor
Enrico's part from the first and treat
ed his wife unkindly during his life
time. Donna Eugenia has decided r
contest the will and as she is backed
influentialy by her American friends
it is believed that she has fail
chance of succeeding.
