OOM PAUL KRUGER DEAD.
Boer President Died at Clarens.
in Switzerland.
Geneva, Switzerland, July 19.
Oom Paul Kruger, former l>reH *
ident of the Transvaal republic,
died at Clarens, in the Swiss can-
toii of Vaud, at 3 ».’clock this
morning.
At the time of his death his
son-in-law and daughter
wit it him He arrived here at
the beginning of Jum*, and
that time has not been out of his
house. He was suffering from
an attack of pneumonia, and
supervening heart weakness.
After death his body was im¬
mediately* embalmed. and lat-r
wdl be placed in a temporary
vault, pending the result of an
application to Great Britain for
permission to take the body to
the Transvaal for final burial.
It was not until Saturday that
former chief executive of the
Boer government became serious¬
ly ill, although showing signs of
weakness for a month past. Sat¬
urday he attended to certain pri¬
vate affairs, but Sunday was so
ill he could not h ave his bed.
Former President Kruger was
one of the most picturesque fig¬
ures of the last century. He was
a man of intensely religious tem-
p^rment, and had with it rare
executive and martial ability,
wonderful mental power and in¬
domitable will.
He was born in the humble
trge of a frontier grazier and
until 14 years of age worked v ith
his father. Then he joined the
army and fought in the punitive
expedition against the Malable.
From that time on his life was a
military one.
At 10 years old he was made
field coronet and u few' years later
commandant. In 1883 he was
elected president and held that
position uncil 1900, when, the
fortunes of war turning against
liis land, he was forced to flee
from the country and take refuge
in Holland.
In that cc untry and in France
he remained until a month ago,
when he traveled to Clarens in
search of health, only to find
death.
The iormer president of the
Transvaal republic was married
three times. His last wife died
in the early part of the vear
1901.
A Continual Strain.
M nv men and women are con¬
stantly -objected to what they
'commonly term “a continual
strain” because of some financial
or distresses family I rouble. It wears and
th-nn both mentally
and physically, affecting their
liver nerves badly and ailments, bringing on
and kidney with
the attendant evils of constipa¬
tion, loss of appetite, sleepless¬
low and
dency. They cannot, as a rule,
g*t rid of this ‘‘continual strain,”
but. they can remedy its health-
destroying effects by taking fre-
doses of Green’s August Flower.
It tones up the liver, stimulates
thu kidneys, insures healthy bod¬
ily functions, «ives vim and spirit

ually dispels the physical or men- i

tinual strain.” Trial bottle of

IMMIGRATION
Senate Passes Bill lor a
Official.
Atlanta, Jily 19.—The Senate
to-day passed • by substi¬
tute the bill by Senator fl. A.
Matthews, of the Twenty-third,
to provide for an immigration
commission. The bill had much
opposition, and gor a bare con¬
stitutional majority, th$ vote
being 23 to 11.
The original bill called for an
immigration commission of
twelve members, to be appointed
by the Governor, and these were
to seL-ct a secretary, who should
be the executive officer, at a sal¬
ary’ of $2,000 a year. The substi¬
tute by Senator Taylor, of the
Forty-second district, provides
simply that there shall be an
immigration commissioner with¬
out the board of twelve members.
This commissioner is to be ap¬
pointed by the Governor at a
salary of $2,000.
Senator Jordan spoke strongly
against the measure. He saw no
use in creating an office for one
man, w ho would do no more than
auswer a few letters about Geor¬
gia lands arid Georgia products.
thing to do, he said, was to
send intelligent farmers out into
the West to see the people them¬
selves and induce them to come
here. He opposes especially the
provision in the biH* which ye-
that any having land*
for sale which they wish adver¬
tised by the bureau must pay a
registration fee of $10.
Senator Smith and Atkinson,
Paesident Howell, spoke
iu favor of I lie bill.

POSITION DURING SLEEP.
tllshUr Rnl** the Head ud Ll« oa
the Right Side.
The main object of sleep is that every
organ of the body should have perfect
rest. The brain, the lungs and the
heart have been, „ not Inappropriately,
called the "tripod of life,” as upon
them hangs the prosperity of the whole
frame; hence we slightly raise the
head to check the flow of blood to the
brain and more or less quickly And out
the position of greatest ease for lungs
and heart.
This will be found by sleeping for
the greater part of the time on the
right side, for nearly two-thirds of the
heart is on the left of the medial line,
and the apex points closely to the
smaller left lung; hence the fullest and
freest play possible should be given to
the left side.
A quiet pulse, diminished respira¬
tion and refreshing rest are all com¬
bined when open windows, moderate
warmth and unehaflng heart work to¬
gether. It Is often best to court sleep
on the left side and turn to the right
before going off.
Where He Hade HU Start.
A squire in a certain town bad just
finished marrying a young couple and
proceeded in a paternal way to give
them good, solid advice. Turning to
the bridegroom, be said:
•‘Never spend your money extrava¬
gantly and be saving In every way
possible.”
The bridegroom listened respectfully
and then remarked:
“Well, judge, we might as weU begin
on you.” And be proceeded to give the
squire 50 cents for tying the knot.—

Mr. H. J. Murphy Made Deaf by
Heat at Moultrie,
The many friends of Mr. H. J.
Murphey will regrU to learn that
he has entirely lost the sense of
hearing. The ufiliction came
upon him last we*k. He first
became deaf in ear, and went
Dr. Jerkins for treatment. In u
day or two the other ear got in
the same fix, and now he is un¬
able to hear anything at all. It
is the opinion of Dr. Jerkins that
his dcnfness resulted from over¬
heat. There is a remote possi¬
bility that he may in time regain
the important faculty.—Observer

GALVESTON'S UREAT WALL.
City Will be Protected From the
Floods of the Future.
In order to uvoid the pog&ibil»
ity of a repetition of the great
catastrophe of 1900, when the
aea swept over the low island on
which the city of Galveston is
built, a great wall of Nolid - con¬
crete three and a half miles long
and seventeen feet
being constructed all along the
water-front. The plans of pro*
tection include, besides the con-
strnction of theses trail, the rais-
iog of the grade of the city to n
level with the top of the wall.
It would he impossible f,r the
sea to wash away the entire
island (thirty mile* long and
three miles wide) thus protected.
Over the underlying foundation
of the wall is placed a mass of
concrete which when it hardens
forms what appears to l»e a" solid
granite walk, sixteen feet wida
and d> about three
feet thick, ex*’
tending the full length of the
wall. The height of the wall
reared on this concrete is seven*
teen feet above sea-level, or
about, a foot higher than the high¬
est water of the fearful flood of
1900. Tho outer surface of fhe
wall gradually slopes upward and
inward so as not to present too
bold and sharp a front to the
waves. Precautions art being
taken, by tho lacing of ^g,rap,
to prevent undermining the
sea. The total lengthqf the sea¬
wall will be 17,593 feat of w^ieh
