Convalescence is sometimes merely
apparent, not real, and especially is
this true after such diseases as pneu-

make it real and rapid, there is no

ed as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine cleanses and

FATAL ACCIDENT
 ON HUNTING TRIP EVERT GRAHAM KILLED
ACCIDENTAL SHOT FROM JER- RY GLOVER'S GUN CAUSES
 DEATH NEAR GLEASON.

Evert Graham, an employe of the Freeman Lumber Company at their mill near Gleason, eight miles north west of Conway, was killed by the ac- cidental discharge of gun in the hands of Jerry Glover, his compan- ion on a hunting trip, yesterday morning. The body of Graham, who died 43 minutes after receiving the wound, was taken today to New Or leans, La, for burial.
 Graham and Glover had started on squirrel hunt and were only about quarter mile from the mill when the fatal accident occurred. The former was walking in front and Glover, carrying an automatic shot gun, was only about six feet behind him. In throwing his weapon around to avold an overhanglng bush, the gun in some unknown manner was discharged, the charge entering Ora hams back and infiicting a terrible wound. Glover immediately called for help, and the injured man was taken to his home, living only a few min utes after reaching the house. A coroner's inquest was held, the yer dict of the jury being that death was accidental. Graham and Glover were the best of friends and the latter is said to be almost prostrared with grief on account of the unfortunate acc dent.
 MT. Graham was about 30 years of age. He leaves a widow but TO chil- dren.

COUNCIL VOTES TO AMEND ORDINANCE LIGHT AND WATER COM. TO PUT PLANTS IN CHARGE OF MMITTEE-NIGHT MAR
 SHAL RESIGNS.

An ordinance amending sections 1 and of ordinance No. 189, creating light and water commission, was acted upon favorably by the city council last night and will probably become a city law at the next meet ing. The ordinance, which substi- tutes the council light plant commit tee for the commission elected by the last council, was read three times and the vote on it's final passage was four to three, Mayor Duncan and Alder men McCulloch, Barker and Donnell voting in the affirmative, and Alder men Hairston, Meadors and Robbins in the negative. It was found today, however, that the vote by which it was placed on it's third reading was insufficient, the statutes requiring a two-thirds vote of the entire council to suspend the rule sand pass an or dinance at the same meeting at which it is introduced.
 The ordinance also amends a sec tion of the ordinance regarding the revenues of the municipal plants, re- quiring the surplus earnings after the payment of operating expenses and existing indebtedness to be returned into the city treasury.
 The ordinance committee, in ac- cordance with the instruction given at the last meeting, reported an ordi- nance to repeal Ordinance No. 189, in toto, but this ordinance was laid on the table by vote of 6 to 1, and the amending ordinance introduced This action was taken on the reading of .he regular monthly report of the water and light commission Several speeches were made by the council men on the subject, Aldermen McCul- loch and Donnell favoring and Alder man Meadors opposing the passage of the amendatory ordinance.
 The council voted to reduce the sal ary of the night marshal from $35 to ] $20 per month, whereupon John Dur ham withdrew his application for re- election and rendered his resignation effective immediately. As there were no other applications, the office was i left vacant.
 The ordinance committee was di- rected to prepare an ordinance regu- lating the disposal of garbage and the construction or maintenance of septic tanks.
 The treasurer was directed to pay vouchers of the chairman of the street committee for street work when same were approved by the chairman of the finance committee.

HENDRIX WINS
 I5-|NN|NC CAME
STATE NORMAL DEFEATED
IN ONE OF MOST SPECTACLE LAR CONTESTS EVER WIT
 MESSED HERE.

Cooks single to center in the if teenth ended in favor of Hendrix in one of the most spectacular games ev- CT witnessed here yesterday, the State Normal losing by a score of 5 to 4. While the first part of the contest was punctuated with a number of CT TOTS, the teams settled down to steady ball and the last portion was played with clocklike precision. Both Stew enson and Landers pitched in fine form, the latter allowing three more hits, while Landers did not issue pass. Both seemed to grow stronger as the game progressed. In the last SIX innings men were frequently on bases, but the hit to produce a score was not forthcoming.
 The Pedagogues took lead in the first that looked good for eight in nlngs. Browning walked and stole and scored when Charles muffed Co., za's fly, the error being Charles first since he has been playing center for Hendrix. Landers singled, sending Goza to third, from which he scored on Webbs grounder to second. In the fourth Garvey singled, went to third on Young's double and scored when Goza fumbled Parker's ground CT.
 Hendrix took lead in the eighth. Stevenson was safe when Goza huff ed Landers' peg, went to second on a passed ball and scored on Garvey's single. Garvey took second on the throw-in and went to third on a pass ed ball, scoring on Young's long fly to right. Parker then put the ball over the left field fence for home run.
 The Pedagogues, however, came back in their half of the ninth and tied the score. Morden singled and went to second on Goza's grounder to Stevenson. Erwin fumbled Landers grounder, Smiths safety scoring Morden. Landers scored when An derson booted Wray's grounder.
 In the fifteenth Stevenson and Gar vey singled and Landers pinked Young, filling the bases. Parker foul ed to Sipe and Anderson struck out, but Cook, who was substituted for Bush in right in the eighth, sent a liner over second which scored Stew enson with the winning run. It was almost dark when the game ended, and it would have been impossible to play another inning. The score:

Sacred Cow at Large.

A sacred COW from far-ofi India is
wandering somewhere today in the en-
vironS OF Palatka, a strange and hump
backed bovine among heather and
perverSe people. Back in India this
cow was worshipped. Here in Palatka
the kids" guy it on account of lis
hump and other without
a thought of the sacred nature OF the
poor beast. No wonder the darn COW
is homeSick.
This sacred COW answers TO the name
of "FloSsie." She is gentle, but since
escaping from the Cole & Rice show
on Tuesday night, has been pretty well
scared by the boys. "FloSsie" is as
fleet as deer. Treat her kindly, coax
her with hay, and she will come 10 you.
The animal is valuable-an important
feature of the show.
Mr. Cole spent all day Wednesday
trying 10 locate this COW, but 10 no
avail.
II you see strange looking COW with
a hump on its back, report it TO Chief
Narnes. A reward will be paid. Catch
poor FloSSie if you can and treat her
kindly, she was raised goddess and is
a long way from home.
