T« x O- Legislature tins adopted an income lax bill, which places H levy of 1 pl r cent, upon a l pirsonal inci.ines ot more than $2,000 per year P is thought the Senate ail accept the bill. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says: “If William J Bryan wants to strike the keyn'te (bat will reach the people’s hearts ami reunite the Daitio cretic party he should go before the country with the victorious slogan of 'Death to the trusts.”’ A cocking main of thirty —five nit ties was fought in Illinois on last Sun day This will lie interesting iiOorm atlou to the Cubans, who, under the new dispensation in the island, are not permitted to have cocking mains, or bull fights, or even io wear an un dershirt uncovered by a second shift or a coat 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 perate! v ill, and may die. High ft ver was developed shortly after the pepper 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 Gun liar re In Grew. In the early days in the northwest, ( when the Hudson Bay company laid the I foundations of great fortunes by trade i with the savages, and a gun paid for as j many beaver skins as would reach to I the muzzle of it, the skins packed flat | and the gun held upright, it was alleg- I ed that the barrel of the weapon grew j and grew with each successive year un- : til the Indian, after he had bought it with the peltry, bad to borrow a tile ; and cut off a foot of useless metal.— ban Francisco Argonaut. 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 XTETTIT A mDO YOU WANT?

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. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
