Race Riot in Georgia.

Macon, Ca, Aug. 26.-In race
riot at Indian Springs hotel, one
deputy was killed, another fatally in
jured and other persons injured.
The hotels may have to close for the
season, as there is general exodus
of guests. The Jackson Rifles are
being held in readiness to go there
for duty before darkness.
An alteration between two ne
groes, bell "hops," as to the division
of a tip from a departing guest at
the Elder Hotel, Indian Springs, last
night, led to a clash between the
blacks and officers at a late hour,
during which one deputy sheriff was
killed, two others injured and several
persons more or less injured in
minor fights.
The dead officer is Jesse Singley,
of Jackson, a married man with a
family, who with Sheriff Crawford,
of Butt, and nine deputies was seek
ing the negroes who started the
trouble. Deputy Conner was shot
through the thigh and Deputy Thorn
ton was shot in the leg. The shoot
ing occurred just as the officers near
ed the negro quarters and was from
ambush. At the time the assault
was made, none of the officers had
fired and did not intend to If they
could make arrests without resort
ing to firearms.
Judge Daniels Is holding superior
court at Jackson and has ordered the
Jackson Rifles out and is holding
them in readiness to 60 to Indian
Springs, distant about three miles.
Long distance telephone messages
from Indian Springs to Macon late
this afternoon state it is likely that
further trouble will ensue and 1t Is
highly probable that the rifle COM
pany will be ordered out before dark.
There are five or six hotels at In
dian Springs and it was stated this
afternoon that all of them might be
forced to close because Of the trou-
BILE. Dinner was served at all Of the
hotels to-day, but there was a general
packing up among the guests, and it
is not believed that the usual Sunday
crowds will go there tomorrow.

What Railroad Accidents Cost.

Although the railroad companies
take every possible precaution to
avoid wrecks, the newspapers con-
stantly report more or less serious
accidents. Few of us realize what a
money loss almost every one of these
entails. Some figures on the wreck
of the Brewster Express on the Har-
lem division of the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad, published
in a recent issue of the Railway
Employees Magazine and Journal,
prove that any expense for preven-
ton is economy.
That wreck occurred near Wood
lawn, February 18th, 1907. With
out including damages to equipment,
loss owing to delayed traffic, and
other things, the damage claims and
other expenses paid and in process
of settlement cost the road $1,214,-
900. OF this, s659,000 was paid in
claims, and the balance was for law
yers' fees, fees to agents who set
tied claims out of court, physicians,
Investigators and experts, and for
trial suits.
The largest amount paid for sin
gle death was $4,000; the smallest
$4,000. The average was $13,324.
Eighteen of the twenty-five victims
were women, eleven of them unmar-
ried, which reduced materially the
damages the company had to pay,
though several of the single women
we're bread-winners.
Among the injured, the highest
damages awarded were s32,5OO to a
young woman whose left leg was am
putated. This verdict has been ap-
pealed by the company. Settlements
for injuries have ranged from ST.
600 upward.-Scientific American.

TEXAS COTTON SITUATION.
Believed that Recent Rains will
Cause Larger Crop.

Galveston, Aug. 26.-Statements
by conservative cotton men, since the
United States weather bureau report
made public here to-day, indicate a
general belief that the recent copious
rains in nearly all parts Of Texas will
increase the cotton output in this
State from 100000 to 100000.
The weather bureaus report was
watched for to-day with intense in
terest by every cotton man in Texas
and it's verification of news received
from private sources about recent
general rains forms the basis for this
prediction.

WAYS of serxinn Rice.

Rice is one of our most easily dl.
gested foods and because of it is often
served in invalid cookery.
When cooking rice have a large pro.
portion of water, drop in the rice a
little at a time so that the water is
not cooled enough to cease boiling.
The agitation Of the water will keep
the rice in motion. 1t should be
stirred as little as possible. When it
is cooked each kernel will stand apart
by itself plump and whole. After
draining the rice set 1t for a few min
utes into the over to dry. 1t may be
sailed while cooking and served with
bits Of butter over the dish, taking
the place of potatoes.
The addition of a little cold boiled
rice to griddle cakes and mullins
makes the dish more nutritive.
A delicious dessert called rice Gus
tard is prepared by adding a cupful
of cold boiled rice to a custard before
baking.
Rice is used as a stuffing for fowls.
To the stuf1ng, brown one
onion finely chopped in a tablespoon
of butter and mix it with four cups
Of boiled rice and a cupful Of bread
crumbs that have been moistened with
boiling water. Season with sage, par
sley or any herb desired; add a halt
pound of sausage meat or finely
chopped salt pork and salt and pepper
to taste.

Like Home Touch.

Tired and dusty, a party were re-
turning by rail from a holiday trip.
Simkins, a little bald man, seated him
self to read, but dropped off to sleep.
On the rack was a ferocious crab in a
bucket, and when Simkins went to
sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex-
ploring. By careful investigation Mr..
Grab reached the edge of the rack.
Down it fell, alighing on Simkin's
shoulder, where it grabbed the mans
ear to study itself. The passengers
held their breath and waited for de-
~velopments, but Simkins only shook
his head n said: "Leggo, SARAH !

NOT ANNOYED, OF COURSE
Capt. Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend a Few Philosophical
Reflections.

Capt. Archibald w. Butt, the presi-

bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer a telephone call
ARCHIE" said his friend on the
other end Of the wire, 81 called you
up to tell you that 1 shall not be able
to keep the appointment 1 made with
you for eleven o'clock today"
I'm sorry" said Butt, his tone a
trifle chilly.
Eyes; it's too bad" agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, "telephoning seems to be a
habit, a bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest prOvocation. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone. They even get you out of bed
to talk to you on the telephone"
I'm afraid I annoyed you, and
you're bawling me out" said the
friend.

louder one my remarks are merely

A Missionary Tree.

A missionary, during a Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:
Il have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps you
don't know what a missionary tree is?
A missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions.
"A R~oxborough farmer has in his ap-
pie orchard a golden pippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission.
A Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to uplift the cannibals OF
New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes a walnut tree to the spread of
the faith in Zanzibar.
Missionary trees the speaker end
ed, are very good things, but the
principle that underlies them need not
be confined to farms and farmers"

FROM A FINANCIAL POINT
It Is to the Interest of Every Citizen
to Maintain High Standard
of Town..

Gen. Howard Carroll, who knows
a great deal about foreign travel by
personal experience, declares that
Americans will have spent $3.50 ,0OO,-
900 in Europe this year before 1t ends.
This. he thinks, is proof of gross ma
tional extravaganza.
Perhaps so, but that seems to depend
upon what the Americans, who do the
spending. will have obtained for their
money. Sometimes travel SO stimu-
lates and widens mental activities that
the indirect benefits are extremely
profitable. Even sheer beauty often
pays those who go far to e 1T and
feel it's charm.
In the large civic sense 1t is often
profitable by leading cities which
lack beauty to emulate those which
have acquired 1t. Citizens Of towns
which have neglected their own pos
sibilities in that respect often return
from long tours in distant lands filled
with a laudable civic ambition for
more municipal comeliness and
charm.
When cities begin to take their
possibilities seriously, In the matter
of good looks and civic attractive
ness, they are on the road to much
material profit. not to speak of the
increased satisfaction their own resi-
dents find in living there.

Some Good Souna.

OOSc.
Some Good Soups.
Soups are always a frequent dish
on our tables, and the making of
soup is worthy space and discussion.
The art of soup making is easily mas
tered and it is not necessary for a
good soup to have a large variety Of
ingredients. When celery is expen-
s1ve the outer stalks and the roots are
saved for favoring soups.
There are two classes of D
those made with stock and those with
out. Under the soups with stock
there is bouillOn, brown soup stock,
white soup stock. and lamb
stock.
Under soups. without stock are the
creams, purees. bisques and fruit
soups.
Pea Soup.
Drain a can of marrow fat peas
from their liquor, add a pint of cold
water, W teaspoonfuls of sugar and
simmer 20 minutes. Rub through a
sieve, reheat and thicken with two
tablespoonful each of -four and but
ter. Scald 4 pint of milk with a slice
OF onion, remove the onion and add
the milk to the pea mixture; season
With salt and pepper. Peas that are
too old to serve as q vegetable
may be sed in soups.
Veal n Sage Soup.
Remove all fat from two and a half
pounds of veal and chop fine. Cover
the meat with three quarts of cold wa
ter n bring slowly to the boiling
point. Simmer two hours, skimming
occasionally; strain and reheat. Soak
a quarter of a pound Of sage with wa,
ter to cover for half an hour then
turn into the hot stock and cook 80
minutes; add two cups of scalded
milk and pour slowly over the yolks
of -four eggs slightly beaten. Season
with salt and pepper and serve.

Our climate with its sudden changes
is conducive to catarrh-which is
a chronic Inflammation of the mucous
membrane surface Of head-nose or
throat.
One months local treatment with
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic will con-
vince the most skeptical that PaXtine
is not a palliative but a specific for all
catarrhal conditions.
Paxtine is a perfectly harmless an
tiseptic and germicide in powder form
which contains all of the antiseptic
qualities Of liquid antiseptics, but
with other valuable cleansing, germi-
cidal, and healing ingredients added.
Just a little in a glass of water as
needed-used as a spray and gargle,
will not only remove the accumulated

BRUSSELS WORTHY OF PRAISE
Time and Money LaVished Without
Stint to Beauty the Old World
Metropolis.

Dwelling on Brussels as a city
where civic art has reached a high
standard, an article in The New Age
goes on to say:
with a taste rarely evinced by mu-
inequalities, Brussels has so adapted
certain of it's new thoroughfares to
their eshetic surroundings that an
Client and modern are made harmon1-
Gus in a beautiful ensemble, as, for In
stance, the imposing Rue de la Re
gence, leading from the Place
Royale to the Palais de us
tice, giving a vista magnificent to
look upon from that building across
the Place RoyaIe. across the park to
the Palais dc la Nation, where parlia-
ment sits.
One section of his monumental
modern t~horoughfare is fianked on one
side by the old Palais Gutenberg, on
the other by the ancient Church OF
the SabIon, a most graceful and per
feet specimen of Gothic architecture.
In front Of the Palais d'Arenberg they
have aid out the square du Petit
Sablon, the iron railing around it be-
ing supported by granite pillars, upon
each of which is a miniature bronze
figure, each representing a different
trade of the OIden times. Thus is the
modern blended with the ancient In
perfect harmony.
Long, wide streets, beautiful ~vistas,
n leading to green hillsides,
boulevards so wide that the sun plays
upon them as upon the open fields,
dense woods, smiling, cheerful build
ings, grand. majestic piles, houses
which are gems of ancient architec-
ture carefully preserved and restored
have been planned for the public eye
and the peoples pleasure.
The surrounding hills Of Brussels
have left much to the adOrnment OF
the city and every rise and fall of the
land has been taken full advantage Of.
In the olden quarters there are still
slums, but these are gradually d1sap-
pearing by appropriation.

an organism untitled for the trial Of

her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain Of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing charming than
a happy and healthy mother of chill

conditions need be nc hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persists in going blindly to the trial.
It isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there

that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
Watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
hen to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellOwish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. I had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
we're thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I vas he felt better. It took m
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near n cake OF Cuticura Soap to
cure him. Think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been nc
return Of the trouble. 1 shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. NJ.
