THE ATHENS BANNER f FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1899.
The dread and fore
boding: which almost
! invariably conies over
1 a young wife, just ere
1 the advent of the first
little darling who shall
call her mother, is one
I 'Ji 11 of the unnatural bur-
1 \ .J~2 dens which civilization
JS has imposed upon the
L>As. privilege of mother-
hood.
There ought not to be such an over
whelming seuse of depression and weak
ness as a woman feels at this time and there
would not be if she was in a perfectly strong
and healthy condition. In thousands of
cases motherhood has been divested of all
its dangers and a large proportion of its
pain by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, which is the most marvelous
remedy ever discovered for restoring cotn-
S lete organic health and strength to the
elicate special structure involved in moth
erhood. Taken early during the prospective
time it makes the mother strong, energetic
and cheerful and carries her through the
period of trial with comparative comfort
and ease. It increases the baby’s natural,
constitutional vigor and adds to the joys of
motherhood the supreme satisfaction of a
strong, robust, lusty infant. “ Favorite Pre
scription ” is also the best supportive tonic
for nursing mothers. Every expectant
mother will appreciate what is said by Mrs.
Fannie M. Harry, of Galesburg, Ills., (545
Churchill Ave.) Tn a letter to Dr. Pierce
she writes :
“ 2 have used your medicines in my family fora
longtime, and find them to be all that is claimed.
I cannot recommend them too highly. My con
finement was made easy, as I experienced none
of the pains such as others have at that period,
and the first born the one that mothers fear so
much. Besides, the medicine has helped me in
many other ways. I would recommend all af
flicted women to try Dr. Pierce's valuable medi
cines, and thus become well and strong.'*
Celebrated the Wedding.
Individuality is lost sight of in the
cities, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It is swallowed np as it were in the mob.
In a village it stands oat with surpris
ing distinctness. The odd characters of
the place are known to everybody, and
their qneer sayings and doings are told
from month to month.
In a certain little town not a great
ways from Cleveland there are probably
as many of these pecnliar people as any
place of its size can boast. One of them
is an ancient man who longs for the good
old times that followed the war, and is
a firm believer in the criminal weakness
of the present financial system. He is
a man of considerable property, but
nevertheless is economical to an extreme
degree. In fact, he was never known to
spend a penny that didn’t go for some
actual necessity.
There is another character in the town
who keeps the village general store. He
is a good-hearted fellow who, after a
long course of bachelorhood, finally mar
ried. Iu this little town it is the custom
for the happy bridegroom to set np the
cigars for all the congratulating malos
who drop in to wish him joy. So the
bridegroom m this instance had a box on
the counter, and most of his patrons
were regaled from it.
Pretty soon the ancient gentleman
first referred to lounged in. The store
keeper, who felt friendly to all the
world just then, pushed the box toward
the newcomer.
"Have a cigar, Uncle Jim,” he srnil
ingly said.
Uncle Jim looked at the box and
looked at the storekeeper.
“What’s this for?” he asked.
The storekeeper slightly blushed.
"Been gettin' married,” he answered
"Eh?"
"Been gettin’ married.”
“Who? Yon?”
“Yep. Me.”
‘‘An’ you’re standin’ treat, eh?”
“Yep,” said the storekeeper.
The old man picked np a cigar.
"How much did these aeegars cost ye,
Ab?” he inquired.
“Oh,” replied the storekeeper, “they
cost me ’bont 4 cents. They’re nickel
cigars.”
The old man dropped the cigar back
in the box. Then his gaze wandered
around the store.
'•Well, Ab,” he slowly drawled, "ef
it’s all th’ same to yon. I’ll take a pound
o’ nails!”
And he got them.
THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY
May be Dissolved by the Order of General
Brooke.
Havaua, March 15 —The action of
Civil Governor Mora and the police de
partment, iu attempting to prevent yes
terday’s popular mauifestious in favor
of General Maximo Gomez," is strongly
censured today, and the ill feeling
against the police runs high. The peo
ple consider that their rights and free
dom have been attacked.
The action of Governor Brooke in re
straining the Caban authorities from in
terfering has pleased the people and is
favorably commented upon.
It is rumored that several officers of
the police force who were formerly in
the Caban army will resign. The oc
currence has done much to destroy the
popularity and efficiency of the new po
lice force.
General Gomez is receiving hundreds
of telegrams from all parts of tho island
expressing the people's allegiance and
loyalty to him and to Cnba
General Cespedes, who defended Gen
eral Gomez at Saturday’s session of the
military assembly, has resigned his
membership of that body.
General Gomez says he recognizes
only one power in the island, that of the
United States. All that the Cabans can
do, he declares, is by permission of the
American authorities, and therefore the
military assembly can only talk. Iu his
opinion, the assembly is acting as it
does because it wauts to get more
money out of the United States.
In this connection, he points out
that the assembly first proposed to ask
$90,000,000. As for himself, he avers
that he is not a beggar. The United
States offered the $3,000,000 and he
has never asked any increase iu the gift.
Indeed, he says to ask more would be
undignified and improper.

It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the
dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the
sallow parsnip-colored complexion indi
cates it.
A physician would ask if yon had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has a brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, cansing stop

ing of the urine with instruments, or
may run into Bright’s Disease, the most

Tallulah Falls, Ga., March 15 —Mr
J. F. Ro\yleter, while hunting for his
siieep on the Cbatuga river bank last
Sunday morning was attracted by a pe
culiar odor among the bushes close to
the water’s edge. Thinking one of his
sheep might be dead and decomposing
he made search and to his horror beheld
a sight lie will never forget. Canght by
the right arm to the overhanging limb
of a small tree was a human body, the
eddying, rushing stream caosiDg the
same to bow in the most life-like and
courteous manner, and this, coupled to
the fact that nothing bat a grinning
skull with teeth knocked out by the
rocks surmounted an otherwise full-
fleshed body, added additional horror to
the scene.
Nothing but a piece of coarse under
shirt, kept together around the neck by
means of a brass button, was on the
corpse, whose age did not exceed sixteen
years. Who he was or from whence he
came is a mystery. From appearances
he most have been iu the water at least
eight weeks.

In kicking the stick out, Jailer Dona

A Great Mystery.
Many droll stories are told of the Ori
entals’ i leas of warfare. Chinese caval
rymen came riding to the charge with
fans and perfnme bottles, while a ser
vant brought up the rear with a Win
chester nfle. In "Korean Sketches'
Mr. Gale tells a characteristic anecdote.
Most of those, who, after the battle
cams to the dispensary "in Mukden for
treatment were wounded in the back.
“How is it that sons of the gods are
wounded in their afterparts only?” asked
the foreigner. ‘Tit looks as if they had
run from the barbarians.”
“We advanced all right,” said the
Chinaman, “according to military meth
ods. Then we put on fierce faces, like
Che-kal-yang, the god of war, certain
that the Wo-jen would run, as they
would have done if they had not been
hopeless savages, unacquainted with
Chinese characters. We rushed on
them, breathing forth fire, but they
moved not. Then onr general shouted
“Victorv!” for Weiiad paralyzed them
with our boldness.
“But suddenly a long row of gnns was
raised like one arm, and immortal gods!
such a dastardly way to fight I never
saw! I know not why we were wound
ed in the back.”
The merchants on Clayton street are
fighting hard against a petition started
yesterday, r:qnesling the city council to
pave that street in macadam, instead of
vitrified brick.
This petition had scarcely been started
before the leading merchants on Clay
ton street had gotten together and had a
counter-petition going the rounds
This connter-petit-ion advocates pav
ing Clayton 8t*eet with brick and upon
it are the signatures of almost every
merchant on Clayton street.
There is no question whatever as to
how the merchants on Clayton street
stand on this subject. They want vitri
fied brick on that street and they have
made known their wishes to council in
no nucertain manner.
The petition circulated by the mer
chants and signed so unanimously is as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Athens.
We, the undersigned merchants of
Clayton street learn that a movement is
on foot to pave Clayton street with ma
cadam and we desire to enter our pro
test against such pavement. The
present condition of the streets gives ns
too mnch mud in winter and too much
dost- in snmmer, and whilst macadam
would relieve ns of the mud to some
extent, it wonld not relieve us of the
dust, which is very injurious to our
stocks, which consist principally of dry
goods and other fine goods on this street.
It is useless for us to call the attention
to the effect of dost on such goods. The
difference in cost between macadam
and vitrified brick is too trivial in view
of the above to be considered in the
paving of this street, being the best
business street of onr city and having
the highest taxed property. For the
foregoing reasons we respectfully peti
tion yon to give us vitrified bnck.
Then follows a long list of signatures.
Capt. J. W. Barnett, the city
engineer, is of the opinion that vitrified
brick - should be used by all means on
Clayton street, and as the sentiment
seems to be practically one way on the
subject, that street will in all probibilit-y
be paved with vitrified brick.

BOILED HIS WIFE-
The Confession Made by Becker, the Chicago
Sausage Maker.
Chicago, March 15.—Augusta Baker,
the sausage maker, who has been under
arrest for four weeks on a charge of
murdering nis wife, made a full con
fession tonight. He said he ent his wife
to pieces and burned the remains in a
stove.
Becker, when first arrested, admitted
killing his wife, but declared he pushed
her off the Randolph street viaduct into
the lake and that she was. drowned.
The police have never placed any re
liance in the drowuing confession and
have kept np their work on the idea that
Becker had killed the woman iu, his
house and had made away with the
body. v
The finding of a portion of a human
lung three days ago in Becker's barn
put strength in their theory, and late
tonight they induced -Becker to confess.
In his confession Becker said he had
killed his wife by striking her on the
head with a hatchet iu the kitchen of
his borne. He then cat the body to
pieces and boiled it in a large kettle
After watching the disintegration of the
remains for several hoars and when
nothing was left that resembled a hu
man body, Becker said he took what re
mained and burned it in a red-hot stove,
the fire having been prepared by him.
The hones which would not burn he
buried ou tho prairie near his home
January 27th was the date Becker says
committed themnrder. He asserts the
crime was not premeditated, bnt that he
quarreled with his wife on the afternoon
of that day, and in the heat of passion
he struck her on tho head, with the
hatchet.

INSURANCE PRECEDENT.
Iowa Court Rules on Policies That Have Been
“Dated Back."
Clinton, Iowa, March 15—Judge
Wolfe has just handed a decision in the
John Freda insurance case which is of
interest to companies and the insured, a
like case never before haviug l>eeu passed
npou.
On December 31, 1890, John Freda
took ont a life policy iu an insurance
company for $2,000, the policy being
dated back to September 23 of the same
year, in order to admit him to a lower
class than he was then entitled to efiter.
At the same time he paid the required
premium for one year. Before Decem
ber 31, 1897, Freda died, having been
paid nothing additional upon the in
surance. The company refused to pay
the loss, claiming that the policy had
lapsed. Sait was brought, the plaintiff
claiming that the year’s preminm paid
made the policy good till December 81,
1897, a date subsequent to Freda's death.
Judge Wolfe holds that as Freda had
paid for one year’s insurance the policy
was valid till one year from the time it
was actually issued and not for one year
from the time of the date of the policy.
It is said that insurance companies
often date their policies back in order to
enable applicants to enter lower classes
and this decision affects all such cases.
