FINAL PROOF OF LIFE ON
MARS, SAYS LOWELL,
Chicago.—Announcement of
final proof that the planet Mars
is inhabited was made by Profes
sor Percival Lowell, the Martian
expert and director of an observa
tory at Flagstaff, Ari., to Chicago
astronomical circles.
Professor Lowell announced
that he had seen a new canal
spring into being last summer,
showing, he declared, that it had
been just completed by the Mar
tians. Water had just been turn
ed into it and vegetation bad
sprung up in a hitherto uninhabi
table part of the great desert,
which comprises most of the
planet’s surface.
Not only did he see the new
canal, but he photographed it, he
asserted. Previous photographs of
this region, made as late as last
May, failed to show any trace of
it. The fact that it developed be
tween May and September, when
it was first observed, Professor
Lowell regarded as positive proof
that it was artificial, and there
fore that living beings exist there.
Professor Lowell made this an
nouncement to Professor S. W.
Burnham of the Yerkes observa
tory. The new canal, one thou
sand niies long, extends south
east from the region of vegetation
known as Syrtis Major through
the great plain of Libya, he said—
“ Professor Lowell’s discovery
is of the utmost importance,”
said Professor Burnham. “It
seems to be the strongest con
firmation yet obtained of the be
lief that there are living, intelli
gent beings on Mars. His theorj',
that the markings on the planet
are canals and that these canals
are the work of living beings, is
the only one that fits all the
known facts.”
THE SECTIONAL HONEYMOON.
Miss Low came down to break
fast, but no preparation for that
meal greeted tier eyes. After
waiting a few minutes, she rang
the bell impatiently, and immedi
ately a white-frocked, middle
aged negress responded
“Why, Martha, what does this
mean,” she asked.
Martha twisted and untwisted
her hands.
“I’se married, honey.”
“But you promised to be here as
usual; didn’t you?
“I sho’ did, Miss Low, honey,
an’ I’se here, ain’t I?”
“You are, indeed. But where
is breakfast, and aren’t you wear
ing your wedding dress?”
“1 is to be sho’,” Marth ac
knowledged, smoothing the frock
with growing confusion.
“Then, for heaven’s sake, take
it off and prepare breakfast.”
“Yas’m honey. I’ll get you
breakfast; it’s what I done come
for, an’ to ’splain, as long as you
gwine to have company next week,
I’ll take my trip now.”
Again Marth’s hands went to
twisting.
“My wedding trip, honey,” she
added, hanging her head.
“I declare.Marth.l'm beginning
to believe you are story telling.
You told me positively Jake
couldn’t get off on account of that
delegation and their being short
of waiters.”
“So I did, honey, Miss Low, an’
it’s de gospel trufe, so we done
’eluded to spend our honeymoons
separate, an’ Jake ’vised me to go
now, as he s’poses to go when dey
ain’t so busy.”

Nervous
Prostration
“I suffered so Yvitli Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
yvus no use try iiig to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles’
Nervine, and although skeptical
| at first, 1 soon found myself re
j covering-, and am to-dnv yvcll.”
MRS. D. I. JOXKS,
Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Muck sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the bl ood.
it any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through Yvhich they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
I soothes the irritation and assists
j in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
! it if you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
j when sick. Got a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money,

It, is understood that several
thousand dollars have been raised
for the purpose of erecting the

proposition on the part of Ro
chelle being to erect a court house
and donate the building and site
to the county without cost to tin
tax pavers in the rural sections
of the county.
Wilcox county has one of the
[ handsomest court house buildings
