Work in earnest has been begun

and one bearing the inscription

A force Of workmen are now
busy leveling the square by means

Mayor Warriner and City Clerk
Sharp, who have direct supervis-

hardly to be expected that the

will get it started, and in due
time court square will be one of

THE ENDLESS CHAIN"
DANGER Of CATARRH
S. S. S. the Proper Safeguard

Catarrh is the offspring of "colds"
1t is a "cold" in it's chronic form. The
air is filled with bacteria. which is
the process of breathing. When the
body is in a healthy condition no harm
results. But with our rlodern methods
OF indoor living and sedentary occu-
pauons, the mucous membranes are
usually not able to "throw-off" this
harmful bacteria, making cetarrh a
very common ailment. These germs
breed and multiply, causing inflamma-
ton, the blood rushes to the membranes
to fight off the bacilli. When thu blood
IS in vigorous condition it's "defen-
sive" efforts are successful. Otherwise
the cold hangs On"-turns into ca
tarrh. Catarrh is chronic inflamma-
ton OF the mucous membranes. Mucous
are the lining on all the in
ternal cavities of the body. Get that

to run on catarrh will affect not ONLY

and other troubles. Local applications

blood is to take S. S. s.. which has been

KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT
Virginian Meets Frightful Death at
Circus in Tennessee.

Bristol, Va, Sept 13-Walter Ed
ridge, % years old whose ambition
for animal training led him to join
Sparks Circus days ago, was yester-
day killed by one of the elephants,
following the daylight performance
of the circus at kingsport, Tenn. As
if infuriated over some fancied in
jury, the animal suddenly coiled it's
trunk about Eldridge's body and in
the presence of a. throng of specta-
tors who were watching the elephants
as they were being led to water lift.
ed him ten feet in the air. and then
dashed his body in fury to the ground.
The elephant then pinioned Eldridge
to the earth and sank it's tusks en-
tmely through his body.
Countrymen, armed with revolvers
rushed to the rescue and dozen
shots were fired into the elephants
body, but apparently without effect,
except to add to the fury Of the
beast. In spite of these efforts the
elephant stood upon the bleeding form
of Eldridge until a commanding word
from it's keeper, who had arrived on
the scene, freed the dying man from
further attacks. Hundreds of men
and women ran in confusion from the
scene, the women screaming in their
fight.
Eldridge was dead almost before q
physician could reach him. The ele-
plants keeper, in spite of singing
bullets in the animals flesh, subdued
him completely, led him back to the
tent and chained him to stake.
! In last nights performance the
murderous elephant calmly took his
part as if content with his exploit
of deadly prowess.
Eldridge's home was at St. Paul.
in Russell county, Va.
