ANOTHER SOUR DAY
Thousands Wake Up Today With Un-
dieested Fermenting Food in
Their Stomachs.

Stomach fermentation is caused by
undigested food in the stomach. Poi
sonous gases arise from this food.
They gradually permeate the entire
system, poison the blood, deaden the
nerves, reduce the body until the
patient is literally a walking skeleton.
The effect of dyspepsia and indigestion
upon the system is well known.
There is a remedy-a natural one =
that will digest the food that your
stomach cannot. 1t will not only di-
gest all this food lying like lead on
your stomach, but will destroy all poi
sonous stomach gases, tone and
strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles, create natural healthy ap-
petite. Such a remedy is Digestlt,
which can be obtained of any druggist
at so cents package.
A couple of tablets after a heavy
meal will quickly relieve that 1u'l and
nauseating sensation, will make you
forget that you own a stomach. Drug
gists are informed to refund the so
cents if Digestit fails. Prepared by
w. L. BROWN CO., Jackson, Miss.

A Sensational Prophet.

One of the most sensational of
prophets was a Rosa negro named
Umhlakasa. who did his prophesying
in British Kaffraria. Africa, in 1867,
His niece had met some mysterious
strangers near a stream. and Umhla-
kasa, having gone TO see them. report
ed that they were the spirits of his
dead brother and others. They com
municated a prophecy which rapidly
grew. On an appointed day in 1857
two blood red suns were to rise. the
sky would fall and crush the Fingos
and the whites. herds of splendid cat
tie would issue from the ground. great
fields of ripe millet would spring up.
the Rosa dead would rise and live
with their descendants. and trouble
and sickness should be no more. I'm
happily there was condition-the
Kosas must slaughter all their existing
cattle. And so 100000 cattle. the
wealth and sustenance of the people
were killed. and probably $4,000 cred
ulous natives starved themselves to
death.

Special to The Ne1oS.
Biloxi, Miss, May AFTER 33 years
of successful labor here the Sisters of
Mercy have received orders from the
archbishop of New orleans to close
the Marie Stella Convent and proceed
to New Orleans to take up the work
of teaching. The convent will close
at the conclusion of the present ses-
sion.
The news came as a shock to the
Catholic congregation of Biloxi and
much regret is expressed over the pos
sibility OF the loss of the institution.
A meeting of Catholics was held We'd
nesday night and it was decided to
make an effort to buy the convent and
grounds if a reasonable price is placed
on them. In that event effort would
be made to have teachers from the
order at Vicksburg assigned here in or
der that the work of education might
be continued.
Father Ketels says that if the pres
ent convent cannot be purchased it
may be possible to arrange for another
site and erect a new convent.

TWO PERISH IN A WELL.

Andrew Sipe and John Spangler, one
farmer, the other painter, OF 1o-
cumtown, Pa, lost their lives yester-
day afternoon in an old unsed we'll at
Basehores Stores. In some way oil had
leaked into the we'll from an oil tank,
and Sipe undertook to clean it out.
He threw down quantity OF straw and
then set fire to it, so us to get rid OF the
oil and gas which had gathered at the
bottom.
After he thought the we'll was pretty
well burned out, lie fastened rope to
4 roller and proceeded to 60 down to
the bottom. He had not gone far
when Spangler noticed that he dropped
like a log down the well. Spangler
suspected something was wrong, and
quickly went to his rescue. Sipe made
signs for help and Spangler started
down after him. He had gone but a
short distance, however when he met
with the same fate, and dropped to the
bottom almost suffocated. The men
we're no doubt overcome by the fumes
of the gas which lurked in the bottom
of the we'll after the straw and oil had
been burned. Others who were near
by were quickly drawn to the scene,
and did everything in their power to
bring the men to the top, but they were
both dead by the time they were reach
ed.

THE OYSTEROiEN.

Though three companies Of Norfolk
volunteers were being held in readi-
ness all that day to go to the scene, in
the event of trouble, perfect quiet reign
on the James river yesterday and the
1000 tongers at work on the oyster
rocks were busy catching oysters.
When they learned that Gov. Mann
had called out the troops to proceed
against them the tongers were greatly
amused, and they regard the happen
ngs on Tuesday and Tuesday night as
a joke. The tongers claim that they
have not intended creating any dis
turbancessince they came to the agree
ment with Commissioner Lee last
week, and that report Of threatened
disturbance emanated from the plant
ers, who did not want resurvey Of
the rocks made.
On Tuesday Governor Mann received
the letter from the planters demanding
immediate and adequate" protection
from the raids OF the tongers, and it
was after receiving that paper that the
governor ordered the troops TO be in
readiness. The paper stated that blood
shed and the loss Of lives would follow
unless the state authorities acted, and
as he was unable to get into communi-
cation with Commissioner Lee, the
Governor called out the militia, IS Il
precautionary measure. Commissioner
Lee declared yesterday that all trouble
between the commission and the tongers
is at an end and the tongers verified
this statement last night. Those plant
crs who had refused to obey the request
of the commissioner that they quit
operations on their grounds until
the resurvey can be made were COM
PEELED to suspend operations yesterday
by Commissioner Lee.
A dispatch from Richmond says:
The net result of the conference be-
tween the state commission Of fisheries
and the James river oystermcn here
Tuesday afternoon is truce between
the two contending factions for three
days, the planters agreeing to cease
operations entirely for that period, and
the state undertaking to resurvey the
line in dispute, near Pagan creek, with
in that time. Meantime, the troops at
Norfolk are to be kept under marching
orders but are not to remain in their
armory. The planters hold their sea
acreagcs under lease from the state.
The tongcrs charge that the planters
have moved their boundary stakes and
have encroachcd upon the public
longing grounds. This the planters
deny.
