In Connecticut the oilier day a
young woman school teacher put
cayenne peppe r on (he tongue of a
small boy to break him ol the habit of
whispering The child was made des

was administered, and there ware
many symtoms of it, that resembled
those of typhoid.
At Enid, O T the other night there
was a cake walk in the opera house.
Whether or not it was a swell social
function does not appear, but it seems
that it became quite a lively function
before the lights were put out. A dis
patch says: “A dispute took p! ice ba
tween the negroes and the whites, and
many shots were exchanged Seven
persons were wounded, four negroes
and three whites.” Thu bi-iolored,
social- quality cake walk, therefore,
e»n hardly be called an unqualified
success, even in Oklahoma
Mr. Beveridge, the new senator from
Indiana, is in the I'tiili ppines study ing
the situation from personal observa
tion It is a 8, n t e tradition that a
new member shall lie seen but not
heard during his first session ; but the
probabilities are that Mr Beveridge
will upset tradition very shortly after
the beginning of the new Congress.
He is said to be an eloquent speaker,
hence it is to he expected that he will
make some interesting remarks re
specting his personal investigation of
the Filipinos and their country. Being
a Republican, it is likely that he will
come home an ardent expansionist.
The secret of the delay in the distri
bution of that Cuban fund is now
thought to lie in a shrewd scheme on
the part of some of the “generals” to
secure for themselves the larger por
tion of the money. Their plan, ac
cording to a Washington dispatch, has
been to get Gen. Brooke to order that
SIOO shall tie paid to every Cuban
private who can conform to the re
quirements of the rules for the pay
ment, and that whatever sum may be
left over after the privates have been
paid shall be distributed among the
officers. The Cuban leaders found, it
is mid, after careful examination, that
the number of actual soldiers who
could show enlistment papers or other
vouchers of service, was even less than
the “generals” themselves imagined.
It is even hinted that 10,000 would be
much nearer the real mark than 30,-
000. If only 10,000 privates should
qualify, tile total they would receive
al the rate of SIOO each would be sl,-
000,000, leaving $2 000,000 to be distri
buted among the officers according to
rank.
PASSING OF THE NIGHTCAP, I
Our i ntnrrlinl Troublee Arc f
Due Io It* i blind on mm t.
"If the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed,
there won Id not be near so many cases
of catarrhal trouble ns there are now.”
said a Chicago physician. He contin
ued : “It is well known that as a na
tion the percentage of catarrhal com
plaints is greater among us than in any
other nation in the World and that there
are more ca -.es among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropor
tion is the absence of nightcapsand the
habit of smoking in the open ai.. Wo
men, if they smoke at all, do not do so
in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in a measure pro
tected by heavier heads of hair.
Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close ent., uro careless about
the temperature of the rooms in which
they shep. and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night to a zero tem
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at its lowest ebb and
can do the least to protect itself. If wo
would begin by nightcapping all our
children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years, within a gen
eration or two catarrh would be a com
paratively rare disease in the United
States.
“Englishmen and the people of the
continent know an American by two
things- his liberality with money and
his habit of hawking and spitting.
They cannot understand the latter, as
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad.
But nightcaps are not. They are a recog
nized part of the night toilet through
out Europe, and to this is due the free
dom of the people there from a distress
ing complaint.
“Who ever sees a nightcap in this
1 country? Bat in England it is so much
a matter of course that its great writer,
Dickens, frequently mentioned it in or
der to give the proper touch of realism
i to his creations.” - Chicago Inter
Ocean.
BERMUDA ONIONS.
Hcrsona Why They Are So Pnpolnr
In American Markets,
“Nowhere perhaps in the world are
onions grown to such a state of perfec
tion as. in the Bermudas,” said a whole
sale produce merchant to a writer re
cently. “The balmy climate and rich
soil < f these islands, together with the
careful methods of cultivation, have
combined to produce an onion that, for
size and flavor, is peerless. The vege
table will average from one half pound
to one pound and a half in weight. It
is always sound, juicy and crisp, and
these good qualities are so well appre
ciated by Americans that about 300,-
000 crates of the onions are annually
shipped to the United States.
“Preparations to supply the markets
of this country every spring with the
vegetable are made early in January,
and when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates, weighing, when filled,
lt>o t und- I'l. out us are then taken
to the general receiving wharf, where
they are subjected to a rigid inspection
by government officers. If the quality
of the produce is not good and any im
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The onions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
a steamship, which, after a voyage of
48 hours, lands them, principally in
New York. Hero consignments of from
4,000 to 5,000 crates, each containing
150 onions, are received semi weekly.
The vegetable is usually sold by the
weight and is worth about 5 cents per
pound retail.”- Washington Star.
limiting Marsh Ilogs.
“Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas,” said C. L. Fielden
of that state. "In the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take a
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. If you succeed in pierc
ing a vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
“But dangerous is your position if
your aim is a trifle defective and your
shot only wounds the animal. Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your com
rades, or else an infuriated boar will be
I have seen
more than one of these old bears shot
through the body 20 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fired into
his head.
“In the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no headway through the tall,
rank grass and boggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kill bis
game when once it is flushed or become j
himself a victim. In the fall of the year I
these marsh hogs are fat, and their flesh I
is of a very pleasing flavor.”—Wash- j
ington Post.

THE CAUSE OF
DYSPEPSIA.
Loss of Vitality Known to bo the Parent of this Oread ,
Disease—The Method of Cure that Has ;
Proved Most Successful. ;
/Yo»i the Jiepubliean, Scranton, Penna.
The most common of all human ailments i
in deranged digestion: the most aggravating
disease, inherited by roan, dyspepsia. In
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it j
tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy
sicians and tha power of medicine.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life sustaining elements of the blood.
It is a truism that no organ can properly
perform its function when the source of
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
baud and over-taxed on the other. When
the stomach is robbed of the nourishment
demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un
natural gases are generated, the entire sys
tem responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the ,
case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St.,
Scranton, I’a.
In telling his story Mr. Vandyke says: I
“Five years ago, I was afflicted with a
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enjoy myself at any time, and especially
was the trouble severe when I awoke in the
morning- 1 did not know what the ailment
was, but it became steadily worse and I was
in constant misery. .
“I called in my family physician, nnd he
diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach.
He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip
tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi
cine, but still the trouble became worse,
and I felt that my condition was hopeless.
My friends recommended various proprie
tary remedies, some of them among the best

in the market, but I tried several of them ■
without receiving benefit. After I had been ]
suffering several months, and had secured
no relief from any of the many remedies
which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the (
name of Thomas Campbell, also a resident ■
of this city, urged me to try Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him H I
would be a useless waste of money to buy ,
them, as I was convinced that nothing could (
do me any good.
“1 was finally persuaded to buy a box ,
and began to use the pills according to
directions. Before I had taken the second ■
box I began to feel relieved, and after taking
a few more boxes 1 considered myself re
stored to health. The pills gave me new
life strength, ambition and happiness.
An unfailing specific is found in Dr. \\ 11- ,
Hams’Pink Pills for Pale People for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
i St Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
i tis'm, nervous headache, the after effect of la
i grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, that tired feeling result
ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re
sulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. In men they efleet
a radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature. These pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N Y. and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firm’s’trade mark and wrapper at 50 cents a
t>ox or six Ixixes for $2.50, and are never sold
in bulk. They may be had of all druggists.
LAND POOR.
A to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor. i
Mk. Editor: Some years ago Hook an
idea that land was the safest investment ■
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to gel rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
1 will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre-saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 ti another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hot or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their in tney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost.
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to maiket gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement,having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The laud is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
oine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Cali, will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say,
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale,on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ot one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
goad as gold.
