THE MORNING GA IJ Vol. X. No. 149. for passing forged checks Will Ellis, Colored, Was Arrest on a Serious Charge Officers Pile!pH and Gordon arrested Will Ellis, colored, about midnight Saturday for passing a forged check. Ellis has been working for railway companies for some time, and being familiar with this paying system had little trouble in disposing of his bogus checks. They have been cashed in other cities in Georgia, but the authorities are of the opinion that Ellis lias accomplices. Ellis’s victim in Griffin is G. Cohen, who cashed a bogus che-k for S4O, and when the bank in Atlanta re fused payment it was returned to Co hen He then discovered 'hat the check was a forgery and reported the affair to the police. Itwvas not long before the officers located Ellis and his arrest followed before midnight. He denies that he forged the check, but claims it was given him by negroes who asked him to have it cashed. Ellis is now in jail and evidence agaiusthim is, according to the offi cers, sufficiently strong to result in his conviction. Human Traits in Animals A parrot in Xenia, V , fell from its perch, (xclaiming, “I am dying!” ai d immediately expired. A pigeon committed suicide in Chi cago because of despondency, as is supposed. The deed was witnessed by several Board o! Trade men, who saw the bird wrap about its neck a piece of twine, one end of which was fastened to the building, and then, deliberately strangle itself. Mrs. James Dundore, wife of a Pennsylvania farmer living near Leb anon, is thought to be dying as the result of an attack on her by one of the family pets, a greyhound. While she was caressing a little pet dog the jealous hound sprang at her and lacer ated her hand with its teeth The combined pain of the wound and the shock rendered her condition critical. Dr. Weir, in discussing the tendency of some insects to get drunk, says: “An intoxicated bee was carried to my laboratory for dissection and microscop ic investigation. This insect was so drunk that when placed upon its back it had the greatest difficulty in getting upon its legs, yet when a cosmos blos som was brought within two inches of its bead the bee thrust out its probes cis and staggered toward it. It imme diately began to suck the nectar, and in a few moments tumbled over, a drunken, senseless, almost inert little mass—a victim of appetite.” Recorder’s Court- Judge Wm. H. Beck held his week ly session of court yesterday and dis posed of the following cases: Will Bishop, colored, was convicted of running a blind tiger and sentenced to work thirty days on the chain gang or pay a fine of SSO Guarry Cunningham and D. T. Hood were fined SSO each for selling intoxicating liquors. The attorneys for the defendants cerlioraried the cases to the city court. Homer Freeman, was fined $8 50 for acting in a disorderly manner and Ernest Clayton paid $7 into the city treasury for quarreling and fighting. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market. It is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure, -end for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J.

HIGH BRED STOCK PURCHASED. | What Prof. Wing, of Experiment Sta tion, Secured from Hood Farm Prof. H. J. Wing, of the Georgia Experiment Station, recently made a visit to the famous Hood farm, at Lowell, Mass., and purchased a Jersey bull and two heifers and a Berkshire boar and two sows That the bull is a valuable animal is shown by the fact that he is by Mint a double grandson of Combine tion 4389 and out of Brown Bessie 18th of Hood farm, a granddaughter of the great Hood farm cow Brown Bessie, winner of the 90 and 30 days tests at the World’s Fair, 1893. The sire of Brown Bsseie 18th is Brown Bessie’s son 34550, the bull at the head of the Hood farm herd, and her dam is Costa Rica, test 21 lbs, 61 oz , perhaps the best cow in the Hood farm herd, Costa Rica is the dam of Merry Maiden, grand sweepstakes cow at the World’s Fair, owned at Hood farm. The bull secured by Prof. Wing is thus close up to the two great World’s Fair winners. One of the heifers that go with this bull is by Pedro Signal Landseer, a half brother of Eurotisama, test, 27 lbs 11| oz in 7 days, 945 lbs 9 oz. in one year, and a grandson of the SIO,OOO Pedro. The dam of this heifer is Meseeldine, test, 16 lbs Joz , a daughter of Sophie’s Tormentor, the sire of 14 in 14 lb. list, including Sophie Hudson, 19 lbs 121 oz., Pbilena S, 18 lbs. 9.1 oz ,So phona, 18 lbs. 5j oz , 639 lbs Joz in 9 months and 13| days. The other heifer is by Lass May Tormentor and from Toltec’s Romp, test, 16 lbs. 9| oz and milked over 40 lbs. in a day. Toltec’s Romp is by Toltec, the sire of 21 in the 14 lb list, including Toltecs Fancy, 27 lbs, 5| cz and a full brother of Conan’s Tormen tor, the sire of 22 in the 14 lb list. The dam of Toltec’s Romp is Romp Ogden sth, test, 17 lbs. 9 oz. in 7 days, 630 lbs. in one year, by the great Fancy’s Harry, sire of 38 in 14 lb. list The Berkshire boar purchased by Prof. Wing is by Wantage King of Hood Farm and out of Duchess I, of Hood Farm. Wantage King is an im ported boar, having beeu bred by William Puinock of Wantage, En gland. His sire is the great King Alfred, a phenomenal winner in En glish show rings, and his dam is the (amour sow, Wantage Poetess B, dam of Lord Windsor, first prize yearling at the Columbian, and one of the greatest boars ever seen in this coun try ; also Pinnock’s Pride, dam of the unbeaten King Longfellow. Duchess I, is a fine Longfellow sow, being by King Longfellow and from Duchess CXXIN , she by the $750 boar, Model Duke, out of the great sow, Duchess CXX The two sows that are to match Ibis boar are by King Lee VII., full brother of the great King Lee, winner of sweepstakes as best boa.- of any age, at the great St. Louis and Illinois State Fairs, 1892, and winner sweepstakes for best Berkshire boar hred.by exhibitor, at the World’s Fair Chicago, 1893. Their dam ie Wan tage Poetess B V.,of Hood Farm. The effect of these purchases upon the breeding interests of the state can hardly fail to be beneficial, as the ani mals purchased will form the founda tion of the two great herds from which will doubtless go out young stock to bring up the general standard of dairy and pig stock. An increase in the farmer’s products and profits must be the ultimate result. ay, ♦ —-» - - . A Nartw Escape. Thankful words written Ada E*.

Ten Beaus for Every Girl in Idaho With the bachelors outnumbering the maids in every state in the Union it ought to be easy for the unmarried woman to secure a partner anywhere, but the region where bachelors are most in excess is, of course, the most favorable to the spinster, since the abundance of unmarried men gives her a wider range of choice. From a matrimonial point of view Idaho is the best state of the Union, for there the number of the bachelors is to that of the maids as 16 584 to 1426, each unmarried woman in Idaho, therefore, having ten or eleven bachelors, not exactly at her beck, but available as a husband From most points of view the west is the Mecca of the young unmarried woman, for not only are there more unmarried men in the western states, but a living is more easily made in the west than in the east, and therefore the western men are more addicted to matrimony.— Ladies’ Home Journal.

BOYDEN, 19 1-2 Hill St. Ten Cents per Week PARSNIP COMPLEXION. 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 indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, 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 un satisfied feeling as if it must tie at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strontr '’d-r. When uicrc symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rus into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, th 6 great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for or ii diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
