The police bad a lively tussel with a drunken negro woman last night about 9:30 o’clock. Her name was Delia Reid, and Offi cer Flynt found ber down near the W. H. Newton Lumber Co , in an intoxi cated condition and started with her to the city prison. The woman ob jected to being locked up and protest ed in a most vigorous manner, biting the officer on the arm. He at ouce blew his whistle for as sistance, which was rtsponded to by Officer Gordon and the colored janitor, Alec Jordan. It took all three to land the infuria ted woman in jail, and she was drag ged from the Savings Bank to her cell, which she reached very scantily attired and covered with mud. The janitor went into her cell to let down the cot, when the wotuan sprang upon him with the ferocity of a tig ress and but for the assistance of the officers would have fared pretty rough ly- How’s Thill We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

Stale School Commissioner G. R. Glenn bas received the census returns from every county in the state with the exception of Floyd county. Mr. Walter J. Woodall, chief clerk of the department, has almost completed the consolidation of the reports and will be ready to band in a consolidation sheet as soon as the returns from Floyd county arrive. The census is the one provided to be taken once every five years and shows tbs number of children of a school age in the state. The last census was taken in 1893 aud the number of children at that time was 604,971. The increase this year, estimating the increase in Floyd county to be an average one, is 7 per cent over the census of 1893. The exact number shown by the consolidation, estimating Floyd, is 652,249. The figures may be greater or less than this should the in crease in Floyd county be greater or less than has been estimated. The increase of tbe census of 1898 over tbe census of 1893 is about equal to tbe increase of the census of 1893 over that of 1888. Tbe census of 1893 was about 44,000 greater than that of 1888, which was an increase of about 7 per cent. There was an increase in all the counties with tbe-exoeption of 22. In these there was a slight decrease. The consolidation will also probably show that tbe increase in the counties was greater in proportion than the increase in tbe cities. The largest per cent ol increase in any county was 75 per cent in Irwin county. This includes tbe city of Fitzgerald, which has sprung up since tbe last census. The exact increase was 1,738. The total number of white children of a school age, according to the pres ent census,* is 336,689, The total number of colored children is 316,560- The increase of the whites over the census of 1893 is 21,949. Tbe increase of colored over tbe census of 1893 is 26,626. This shows that the colored have increased with greater rapidity.- Atlanta Constitution. MAGNIFICENCE GOING TO WAR. Equipment Presented by Hia Friends to Lieut, Col. Ward, of Buffalo. Buffalo, Aug. 9.—When Lieut. Col. Francis G. Ward, of the 202 d New York gets to the front Gen. Miles’ his torical bathtub will have to divide fame with this soldier’s equipment. At a banquet tendered to Col. Ward by Mayor Diehl and a hundred citizens on tbe eve of the departure of tbe reg iment, there was presented to Col. Ward an outfit which probably is the most gorgeous show in tbe army. Col. Ward is superintendent of tbe bureau of water. He is a son of the late Major H. G. Ward, once a well known Wall street operator, who lived in Paris through tbe siege, sold his wrecked house for $60,000 and return* ing America, lost all. Col. Ward made a fortune in Panama Canal contracts, sunk $200,000 in a BuffaloAoap factory and went into politics. Gov. Black offered him a commission as lieuten ant colonel and Col. Ward’s friends de clared that they would usher him into tbe army with more pomp than Buf falo had ever seen before. The banquet was a notable affair, and as it proceeded Col. Ward’s friends rose and showered their gifts on him. Tbe borse that be will ride is a Keo* lucky thoroughbred that cost SSOO. Fire Commissioner Grattan traveled all through Western Pennsylvania to to find tbe animal, which was used for exhibition purposes at borse fairs. The borse will lie down, roll over, bow, and keep step to music at tbe word. The uniform consists of two drees coats, two dress blouses, two service blouses, three duck coats, two pairs of while serge trousers, two pairs of dress trousers, two pairs of riding breeobqs, three pairs of gauntlets, one officer’s mackintosh, two pairs of riding boots and one officer’s trunk. The sabre is the crowning glory of tbe outfit. It is heavHy mounted with gold, tbe handle is of pearl and the scabbard is a dazzling piece of ornamental work. Sabre belts and sabre knots, silver mounted saddles, silver spurs, silver mounted field glasses and revolvers, and four helmets, caps and bats are in the equipment. Col. Ward sod Major Myer took with them two colored attendants and a' cook aud serving mao from a Sara* toga ho.el. Their bed rolls are of silk and their baggage alone filled an mr car. If Col. Ward is not Brummel of the volunteer army then Major Myer intends to be. IHSTRKCTIOHS KOT CARBIKDOPT , Alarms the Officials. Washington,Aug 8.-—The epidemic of typhoid fever which prevails in so many of the army camps is giving the war department a great deal of con cern and steps ere being taken to • check tbe fever a.. • I prevent further spread of tbe disease Surgeon General Sternberg today issued a circular calling attention to a former circular issued by the medical department April 25th. Tbe former circular was devoted to recommenda tions for the health ol tbe troops and minutely pointed out what to avoid and bow camps should be conducted from a sanitary point of view, together with suggestions as ti food and cloth ing of the soldiers. It is the opinion of the surgeon general that these con ditions have not been carried out, and In his circular today be says: "The extensive prevalence of ly* phoid fever in camps of instruction indicates that tbe sanitary recommen dations made in this particular have not been carried out. If medical of ficers have failed to make tbe proper recommendations as indicated tbe sponsibilily is with them. If these recommendations have been made and not acted upon by those having authority in the various camps, tbe responsibility is hot with tbe medical department; but these recommenda tions should be repealed and com- , mandlng officers be urged to move their camps st frequent intervals and to maintain a strict sanitary police.” General Sternberg hopes to have mors favorable reports and to bear soon that the epidemic of typhoid fe ver bas been checked. General Shafter, in a report to tbe war department, emphatically denies that he is responsible for the inade quate provision made for tbe sick and wounded brought from Santiago to tbe United States on tbe Seneca and Concho. General Shafter speaks in high terms of Dr. La Garde acd says that he worked under "the most dis* advantageous circumstances.” From the day tbe forces left Tampa until tbe present time be says there "have never been sufficidnt medical atten dants or medicine for the daily wants of tbe command. Three times since reaching Cuba has the command,” he says, "been almost entirely without medicine.” This statement, he says, is made to him by the medical directors and on one occasion they suggested taking medicines away from tbe Spanish hospital. Bobbed, the Grave. A startling incident, ol which Mr. Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tbe sub ject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians bad given me up. Fortu* nately a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters’; and to my great joy and sur prise, tbe first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed tbe grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts per bottle at Carlisle A Ward and J. N. Harris & Son’s drug store.
